We should get in the habit of remembering Allah in
everything we do. In the following pages, readers will
find the supplications (duas) for many different things.
And who better to follow and learn from than our
Holy Prophet (SAW). He (SAW) was the perfect role
model because his actions and behavior were
exemplary. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) always had
the remembrance of Allah in thoughts, actions, and
sayings. We, too, should
try and emulate his (SAW)
behavior by learning how
to keep the remembrance
of Allah in our daily lives.
Between the time we get
up and the time we go to sleep, there is a du'a for
almost every act of our lives. During the holy month of
Ramadan, let us spend time memorizing these
supplications to ensure that we are constantly
thanking Allah for our multitude of blessings.
You can find more duas onon our website with an
audio feature to help you memorize them.
Go to www.islamicbulletin.org, click on “Enter Here”,
then click on prayers, and select, “ Everyday Duas.”
Click on the audio image next to each du'a to listen to
the correct pronunciation.

“There are two expressions which are light on the
tongue but heavy in scale and are dear to the
Compassionate One (Allah).
These two phrases are:

suffer sudden affliction. (AD&T).

(There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner.
The Kingdom and praise belong to Him and He has
power over everything). One hundred times a day,
will have a recompense equal to that of freeing ten
slaves. Also, one hundred good actions are written for
him, one hundred wrong actions are erased from him,
and it is a protection from Satan for
for that day until the night. No one does anything
more excellent than someone who does more than
that." (B & M)
