After Leaving the Washroom

 🚿 Dua After Leaving the Washroom

You know that small relief you feel after using the washroom — light, clean, refreshed? The Prophet ﷺ didn’t just feel it — he thanked Allah for it.

Something we often take for granted — the ability to relieve ourselves — is actually one of the greatest blessings of health and comfort.

Arabic:

غُفْرَانَکَ ، اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ أَذْهَبَ عَنِّي الأَذَىٰ وَعَافَانِي

Transliteration:

Gufranaka, Alhamdulilla hil Lazi Azhaba Annil aza wa Aafanee

Translation: 

I ask you (Allah) for forgiveness, all praises to Allah who has taken away my discomfort and granted me relief

Source:

(Sunan Abu Dawood, 30; Ibn Majah, 300)

Virtue:

The Prophet ﷺ would seek Allah’s forgiveness even after simple daily acts — reminding us that every blessing, even relief from discomfort, deserves gratitude. Scholars say it also reflects humility — acknowledging that though our body is cleansed, our soul still needs forgiveness.

This dua teaches us to be conscious of Allah in every moment — not just in worship, but in ordinary life. We enter the washroom with protection and leave it with gratitude. A heart that remembers Allah in small things will find it easier to remember Him in big ones.
