Morning Gratitude

Source: Sunan Abi Dawud 5073

اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ

Transliteration

Allahumma ma asbaha bi min ni'matin aw bi'ahadin min khalqik, faminka wahdak, la sharika lak, falakal-hamdu wa lakash-shukr

Translation

O Allah, whatever blessing has come to me or to any of Your creation in the morning, it is from You alone, with no partner. So to You belongs all praise and all thanks.

What this dua means

It starts the day by tracing every blessing back to Allah alone.

When to read it

Say it in the morning; in the evening, replace asbaha with amsa.

Its virtue

Whoever says it in the morning has fulfilled the thanks due for his day.
