Doa After Waking Up



(Segala puji hanyalah kepunyaan Allah yang telah menghidupkan kami sesudah mematikan kami, dan KepadaNya kami akan dikumpulkan)

Revive a Sunnah:Recitation After Waking Up

One of the most beautiful set of verses in the Qur’an are the last 10 verses of Surah Al-Imran:3. In these verses, Allah ta’ala discusses the qualities of Ulul Albaab, the people who possess understanding. It is also a sunnah of the Prophet [SAWS] to recite these verses when he would wake up from his sleep.

Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu narrates:

One night I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maymoonah, and said to myself, “I will watch the prayer of Allah’s Apostle.” My aunt placed a cushion for Allah’s Apostle and he slept on it in its length-wise direction and woke-up rubbing the traces of sleep off his face and then he recited the last ten verses of Surah Al-Imran till he finished it. Then he went to a hanging water skin and took it, performed the ablution and then stood up to offer the prayer.
