Morning Azkar · 9 of 24
Renewing Tawhid
Start Your Day with Pure Faith
Arabic
أَصْبَحْنَا 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
Asbahnaa '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 morning 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 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.
The same dhikr is also part of the evening azkar.
