بِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا
"Allahumma bismika amutu wa ahya"
Hinglish Tarjuma:

"Ae Allah! Tera naam lekar main marta hoon aur jeeta hoon (yani sota hoon aur jagta hoon)."

Hadees Ka Hawala

Hazrat Hudhaifa (R.A) se riwayat hai ki Nabi Kareem (ﷺ) jab apne bistar par jate, to ye dua padhte.

— Sahih Bukhari: 6324

Is Dua Ki Fazeelat

Neend aur Maut

Islam mein neend ko 'Maut-e-Sughra' (Choti Maut) kaha gaya hai. Jab hum sote hain, humari rooh Allah ke paas hoti hai, isliye hum uska naam lekar sote hain.

Allah ki Hifazat

Raat ko sote waqt insaan sabse zyada be-khabar hota hai. Is dua ke zariye hum apni jaan aur maal ki hifazat Allah ke hawale kar dete hain.

Sukoon aur Barkat

Jo shakhs Allah ka naam lekar sota hai, farishte raat bhar uski hifazat karte hain aur uski neend mein sukoon rehta hai.

Sleep and Death

In Islam, sleep is called 'Maut-e-Sughra' (short death). When we sleep, our soul is with Allah, so we sleep in His name.

Man is most unaware when sleeping at night. Through this prayer, we entrust the protection of our lives and property to Allah.

Peace and Barakat

Anyone who sleeps with the name of Allah, angels protect him throughout the night, and his sleep is peaceful.
