MIDNIGHT DUA

Midnight Dua / Duas

Morning and Evening Adhkar

The morning adhkar are said between Fajr and sunrise, the evening ones between Asr and Maghrib. If you miss the window, say them when you remember — the time is a preference, not a condition.

These are also the words for waking and for sleeping. “Alhamdulillahi alladhi ahyana” is said on opening your eyes; “Allahumma bismika amutu wa ahya” is the last thing said before sleep.
