Renewing Tawhid
Start Your Evening with Pure Faith
Arabic
أَمْسَيْنَا عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَعَلَى كَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ، وَعَلَى دِينِ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
Transliteration
Amsaynaa 'alaa fitratil-islaam, wa 'alaa kalimatil-ikhlaas, wa 'alaa deeni Nabiyyinaa Muhammadin sallal-laahu 'alayhi wa sallam, wa 'alaa millati abeenaa Ibraaheema haneefam-muslima, wa maa kaana minal-mushrikeen.
Meaning in English
We have entered the evening upon the natural religion of Islam, the statement of pure faith (i.e. Shahadah), the religion of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and upon the way of our father Ibrahim, who turned away from all that is false, having surrendered to Allah, and he was not of the polytheists.
Virtue and source
'Abdur-Rahman b. Abza (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said [the above]. (Ahmad 15360)
How to read this dhikr
Renewing Tawhid 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.
