When we drink milk, we rarely think beyond its taste or freshness. But the Prophet ﷺ looked deeper — he saw in it a complete blessing from Allah: nourishment, purity, and strength. Every sip became an act of gratitude and a reminder of Allah’s care.
🥛 Dua After Drinking Milk
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ، وَزِدْنَا مِنْهُ
Transliteration:
Allāhumma bārik lanā fīhi, wa zidnā minhu
Translation:
O Allah, bless it for us and increase it for us.
Source:
(Tirmidhi, 3455; Abu Dawood, 3730)
Virtue:
The Prophet ﷺ would recite this dua after drinking milk, and he did not recite it after any other drink. It shows his appreciation for this complete nourishment — food and drink in one — and his constant habit of seeking increase from Allah.
Explanation:
Gratitude brings increase. By saying this dua, we not only thank Allah for milk but also ask Him to expand His blessings in every part of our life. It’s a reminder that a believer’s tongue is always moist with shukr — no matter how simple the blessing may seem.
