After Waking Up

 

How would we feel if we were greeted in the morning with 'Good morning', but as soon as we open our eyes we have a throbbing head ache. 

As we drag ourself to the washroom thinking about the meetings at the office, the submissions to be done, the chores at home we feel so overwhelmed. 

And suddenly we remember the dua of waking up which we had forgotten and our heart ♥️ is filled with gratitude. What if I didn't wake up today? 

Dua Upon Waking Up

Arabic:

الْـحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا، وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

Transliteration:

Alhamdu lillāhilladhī aḥyānā ba‘da mā amātanā wa ilayhin-nushūr

Translation:

All praise is for Allah who gave us life after causing us to die (sleep), and to Him is the resurrection.

(Sahih al-Bukhari, 6312)

Explanation:

The Prophet ﷺ would begin his morning with gratitude — waking up not just to a new day, but to a new chance to turn back to Allah. This dua reminds us that every sunrise is a mini resurrection — proof that Allah can raise us again after death.
