As we get ready for bed or set down to rest after a long day, it’s important to keep remembrance of Allah (SWT) at the forefront of our minds. This can be done by reciting various du’as for sleeping and waking.
Arabic:
اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا
Transliteration:
Allāhumma bismika aḥyā wa bismika amūt
Translation:
O Allah, in Your name I live and in Your name I die.
(Sahih al-Bukhari)
Hadith Context:
When the Prophet ﷺ would lie down to sleep, he would place his right hand under his cheek and recite this dua.
(Bukhari 6314)
Explanation:
Each night, as we close our eyes, we’re reminded that life and death are entirely in Allah’s hands. This dua teaches us surrender — to sleep with trust, not worry. It’s a moment to hand over our heart, our plans, and our life to the One who never sleeps. 🌙
