Evening Declaration of Faith

Arabic

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ أُشْهِدُكَ، وَأُشْهِدُ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ، وَمَلاَئِكَتَكَ، وَجَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ، أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ

Urdu Translation

اللہ! میں نے شام کی اور تجھے گواہ بنا رہا ہوں اور تیرے عرش کو اٹھانے والوں کو اور تیرے فرشتوں کو اور تیری تمام مخلوق کو گواہ بنا رہا ہوں کہ بے شک تو ہی اللہ ہے اور محمد ﷺ تیرے بندے اور تیرے رسول ہیں

About evening duas

Evening adhkar mirror the morning set: phrases of praise, seeking refuge, and asking for a safe night, reported from the Prophet ﷺ for the close of the day.

They are commonly recited after the Asr prayer or at any point as the day ends and the evening begins. As with the morning adhkar, the precise timing is treated flexibly.
