Adhkar for after salah

Adhkar for after salah

Sunnah Adhkar to be recited after prayer:

The Adhkars that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite after the obligatory prayers are present in various hadiths.

Therefore, we should also recite these Adhkars after the prayer. The entire life of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) is a great example for us. Just as he has prayed to his Lord, we should also pray to our Lord in the same way.

Therefore, the words of the holy hadith of Bukhari Sharif are: The Holy Prophet (peace and ble.ssings of Allah be upon him) used to recite these words after every obligatory prayer:

"لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكٍ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وھو علی کل شئی قَدِيرٌ، اَللَّهُمَّ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الجدُ"

Translation:

 There is none worthy of worship except Allah, He is One, He has no partner, His is the dominion and His is all praise, and He is over all things competent. O Allah! There is no one who can withhold what You bestow, and there is no one who can withhold what You withhold, and the effort of any striver will not avail against You.

After every prayer, he should say Subhan Allah thirty-three times, say Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and say Allahu Akbar thirty-four times.

 

2- Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever recites Ayatul Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise except death. (i.e., the only obstacle between him and Paradise is death)

 

3- Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Whoever says Subhan Allah 100 times after the Fajr prayer and La ilaha illallah 100 times, his sins will be forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea.
