Dhikr and Tasbih After Prayers

After performing the obligatory prayers, we are strongly encouraged to tasbih, Dhikr, Takbir, and istighfar.

It is not good if, after the prayer, we continue to get up and leave without being followed by Tasbih (glorification of Allah), Dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and dua after salah (supplication).

Usually, after the prayer, we are encouraged to glorify others to fulfill the Prophet Muhammad SAW’s advice.

Here I arrange the simple steps you can follow to do Dhikr after prayers:

1. Start the Dhikr after salah with istighfar

To get more rewards, let us practice every time we finish performing the obligatory prayers with the istighfar speech below three (3) times:

 Astagfirullah Hal ‘Azim Allazi Laa ilaa Ha illaa Huwal Hayyul Qoyyum Wa AtuuBu ilaih. (3 times)

Meaning:

I ask forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty God. There is no God but Allah. He lives, stands by Himself, and I ask His forgiveness.

2. Next, Dhikr is continued with the following speech 3 or 10 times: 

 Laa ilaaHa illallaHu WahDahu Laa Syarikalah, Lahul-mulku Walahul-hamdu Yuhyi Wayumitu Wahuwa ‘Alaa Kulli Syai’in Qadirr 

Meanings:

There is no god but Allah, the One True. There is no partner for Him. To Him belong all kingdoms and Him all praises. He gives life and causes death. He is the Almighty over all things.

3. Continued with the following speech 3 or 7 times:

 Allahumma Ajirna Minannarr 

Meanings:

O Allah, keep us away from the torment of Hell.

4. Next, Dhikr continued with a speech of:

Allahumma antassalam, wamin kassalam, Wa Ilayka ya ‘udussalam, fahayyina rabbana bissalam, Wa adkhilnal Jannata daa rassalam, tabarakta rabbana wata ‘aalaita ya zal jala li wal ikram 

Meanings:

O Allah, You save, from You salvation to You return salvation. To revive us, O God, in safety. Enter us into heaven, the land of security. So sanctify You, O our Lord, the God of greatness and glory.

5. Next, continued with the recitation of Al-Fatihah

 Bismillāhir-raḥmānir-raḥīm. Al-ḥamdu lillāhi rabbil-‘ālamīn. Ar-raḥmānir-raḥīm. Māliki yaumid-dīn. Iyyāka na‘budu wa iyyāka nasta‘īn. Ihdinaṣ-ṣirāṭal-mustaqīm. Sirāṭallażīna an‘amta ‘alaihim, ghairil-magḍūbi ‘alaihim wa laḍ-ḍāllīn.

Meanings:

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Sovereign of the Day of Recompense. It is You we worship and You we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path. The path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not of those who have evoked [Your] anger or of those who are astray.

6. Next, Dhikr after salah continued with the recitation of Al-Baqarah verse 163:

 Wa ila hukum ilaahum’ wahidullaa ila ha illa huwarrahmanurrahim 

Meanings:

And your god is one God. There is no deity [worthy of worship] except Him, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

7. Next, Dhikr continued with the recitation of Al-Baqarah verse 255:

 Allaahu la ilaaha illa huwal hayyul Qayyum, la ta ‘khudzuhu sinatun walaa naumun lahu maa fissamaawaati wama fil ardhi, man dzal ladziiyasy fa ‘u ‘indahu illaa biidznih, ya ‘lamu maa baina aydiihim wa maa khalfahum, walaayuhiithuuna bisyai-in min’ilmihi illaa bimaa syaa-a, wasi’a kursiyuhus samaawaati wal ardhi, walaa yauuduhu hifzuhumaa wa huwal’aliyuul ‘azhiim. 

Meanings:

Allah – there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

8. Continued with the recitation of Al-Baqarah verse 285:

 Aamanar-rasulu bimaa unzila ‘ilaihi min robbih wal mu’minun kullun Aamana billahi wa mala ikatihi wakutubihi wa rusulih Laa nufarriqu baina ahadim-mirr-rusulih, wa qolu sami’na wa atoghna ghufronaka rabbana wa ilaikal masirr 

Meanings:

The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.”

9. Continued with the recitation of Al-Baqarah verse 286:

 Laa yukallifulla-hu nafsan illa wus ‘aha laha ma kasabat wa ‘alaiha maktasabat robbana laa tuahizznaa inn na sina au akhto’ na rabbana wala tahmil ‘alainaa isran kama hamaltahu, ‘alallazi na min qoblina rabbana wala tuhammilna maa laa thoqota lanabih waghfu ‘anna waghfirlana warhamna anta maulana fansurna ‘alal qaumil kaafirin 

Meanings:

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. “Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”

10. Continued with the recitation of Ali-Imraan verse 18:

Meanings:

Say, “O Allah, Owner of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whom You will, and You take sovereignty away from whom You will. You honor whom You will, and You humble whom You will. In Your hand is [all] good. Indeed, You are over all things competent.

13. Continued with the recitation of Ali-Imraan verse 27:

 Tuwlijul layla finnahaari, watuwlijunnahaaro fil layli, wa tukhrijul hayya minal mayyiti, watukhrijul mayyita minal hayyi, watarzuqu man tasyaa’u bighoyri hisaab 

Meanings:

1. Quoted from Sunan Abu Daud, from Muslim bin al-Haris at-Tamimi, one of the companions of r.a. said, Rasulullah SAW whispered to him, he said:

After Maghrib prayer, recite:

  Allahumma Ajirnii Minan-nar (7 times) 

Meanings:

“O God, protect me from the fire of hell” 7 times. Indeed, If you say it, then if you die that night, you should be protected from Hell. And also say after the dawn prayer. Indeed, if you say then you die on that day, you will be protected from Hell (Narrated by Abu Daud)

---

2. In the book of Ibn Sunni, Umm Salamah r.a said, after Rasulullah SAW prayed Maghrib, he entered the house then prayed two rak’ahs and recited:

  Ya Muqollibal-Qulub, Tsabit Quluubana ‘Ala Diinik  

Meanings:

O Dzat who reverses the heart and vision, set our hearts on Your religion.

---

3. In the book at-Tirmizi, Amarah bin Syabib said, the Prophet SAW said:

  Laa Ilaha Illallahu Wahdahu Laa SyariiKalah, Lahul-Mulku Walahul-Hamdu, Yuhyi Wayumitu Wahuwa ‘Ala Kulli Syai’in Qodir (10 times)  

Meanings:

Who reads, “There is no god to be worshiped except Allah alone who has no partner for Him. To Him belongs all kingdoms and to Him belongs all praise. He is the All-Living, the All-Dead, and He is All-Powerful” 10 times after Maghrib, surely Allah will send a team of armed angels who guard him against the devil until morning, Allah will give ten rewards that send him to heaven, removing ten sins that harmed it, and the reading was of equal value by liberating ten believing servants.

Conclusion: The Importance of Dua (Supplication)

One of the excellent and beautiful names of Allah is al-Sami’

Allah Almighty hears the groans, complaints, worries, and expressions of feelings from His servants at all times, places, and times.

Among the voices that God loves most other than His repentant servants’ cries are the prayers of His servants who ask.

God is loyal to hear the groans of His servants like lovers.

People who do not pray can be considered arrogant towards God.

He directly does not acknowledge the qualities of his low, poor, ignorant, and despicable servitude.

We must make dua.

We must make Dua prove the nature of our servitude before Allah SWT.

As servants, we need God more than anything in this life.
