Fulfil Your Obligation to Thank Allah
Gratitude to the Creator
Arabic
اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَمْسَى بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ
Transliteration
Allahumma maa amsaa bee min ni'matin aw bi ahadin min khalqik, fa minka wahdaka laa shareeka lak, fa lakal-hamdu wa lakash-shukr.
Meaning in English
O Allah, all the favours that I or anyone from Your creation has received in the evening, are from You Alone. You have no partner. To You Alone belong all praise and all thanks.
Virtue and source
'Abdullah b. Ghannam (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever says [the above] in the morning has fulfilled his obligation to thank Allah for that day. And whoever says it in the evening has fulfilled his obligation for that night." (Abu Dawud 5073)
How to read this dhikr
Fulfil Your Obligation to Thank Allah is part of the evening azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the evening. The best time is after Asr, before the sun sets; if you miss that window it can still be read after Maghrib, before you sleep.
It is read once. Say it slowly, understanding the meaning, rather than rushing to the next one.
The same dhikr is also part of the morning azkar.
