Morning Adhkar
أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ
Asbahna wa asbahal-mulku lillah, walhamdu lillah, la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah
We have reached the morning and with it all dominion belongs to Allah. Praise is to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, without partner.
Sahih Muslim 2723 · Sahih
Where this dua comes from
This is the opening line of a longer morning remembrance narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, and it sets the tone for the rest: the day is framed immediately as belonging to Allah rather than to the person waking into it. The full hadith continues with a request for the good of that day and refuge from its evil, but this opening declaration — that dominion (al-mulk) belongs to Allah — is the part most commonly recited on its own or as the anchor of a short morning routine. Reciting adhkar after Fajr is a well-established Sunnah practice distinct from the prayer itself; many people pair this line with Ayat al-Kursi and the last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah to form a brief morning set before starting the day.
When to recite
After Fajr, before sunrise.
