When wearing new clothes

Dua When Wearing New Clothes

There is something special about putting on new clothes — not luxury, but the feeling of a fresh start.

The Prophet ﷺ taught us to acknowledge even this simple blessing with gratitude and humility, so pride never enters the heart.

This dua reminds us that everything we wear, we wear through Allah’s favour.

Arabic:

اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيهِ، أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهُ وَخَيْرَ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ

Transliteration:

Allahumma laka al-ḥamd, anta kasawtanīh, as’aluka khayrahu wa khayra mā ṣuni‘a lah, wa a‘ūdhu bika min sharrihi wa sharri mā ṣuni‘a lah.

Translation:

“O Allah, all praise is for You. You clothed me with it. I ask You for the goodness of it and the goodness for which it was made, and I seek Your protection from its evil and the evil for which it was made.”

Virtue:

This dua protects the heart from arrogance, invites blessings into what you wear, and makes even a simple piece of clothing a means of reward.
