After Prayer

Help Me Remember You

Source: Sunan Abi Dawud 1522

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ

Transliteration

Allahumma a'inni 'ala dhikrika, wa shukrika, wa husni 'ibadatik.

Translation

O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best manner.

What this dua means

Worship needs help — even remembrance. You ask Allah for assistance in the three pillars: remembering Him, thanking Him, worshipping Him well.

When to read it

After every prayer — the Prophet ﷺ told Mu'adh never to abandon it.

Virtue

The Prophet ﷺ took Mu'adh's hand and said: 'O Mu'adh, by Allah I love you — so never abandon saying this after every prayer.' (Abu Dawud 1522)
