Ask Allah to Bless Your Day
Seeking Divine Blessings
Arabic
أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَتْحَهُ وَنَصْرَهُ وَنُورَهُ وَبَرَكَتَهُ وَهُدَاهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ
Transliteration
Asbahnaa wa asbahal-mulku lillaahi Rabbil-'aalameen. Allahumma innee as'aluka khayra haadhal-yawm, fat-hahu wa nasrahu wa noorahu wa barakatahu wa hudaah, wa a'oodhu bika min sharri maa feehi wa sharri maa ba'dah.
Meaning in English
We have entered the morning and at this very time the whole kingdom belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this day: its victory, its help, its light, and its blessings and guidance. I seek Your protection from the evil that is in it and from the evil that follows it.
Virtue and source
Abu Maalik al-Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you enters the morning, they should say [the above]; and when they reach the evening, they should say the same." (Abu Dawud 5084)
How to read this dhikr
Ask Allah to Bless Your Day is part of the morning azkar, the adhkar the Prophet ﷺ taught for the morning. The best time is after Fajr, before the sun rises; if you miss that window it can still be read later in the morning, before Dhuhr.
It is read once. Say it slowly, understanding the meaning, rather than rushing to the next one.
