Seeking Protection from Weakness

Arabic

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا، وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا، أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا

Urdu Translation

اللہ! میں تجھ سے عجز اور کسالت اور بزدلی اور بخل اور بڑھاپے اور قبر کے عذاب سے پناہ مانگتا ہوں۔ اللہ! میری جان کو تقویٰ عطا فرما اور اسے پاک کر تو ہی اسے پاک کرنے والا ہے تو ہی اس کا مولیٰ اور سرپرست ہے

Transliteration

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal ajzi wal kasali, wal jubni wal bukhli, wal harami, wa adhabil qabr. Allahumma ati nafsi taqwaha, wa zakkiha anta khayru man zakkaha, anta waliyyuha wa mawlaha

English Translation

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from weakness, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, old age, and the punishment of the grave. O Allah, grant my soul its piety and purify it, for You are the Best to purify it.

About morning duas

Morning adhkar are short phrases of remembrance and supplication reported from the Prophet ﷺ for the start of the day, covering praise of Allah, seeking His protection, and asking for a good day.

They are commonly recited after the Fajr prayer or at some point in the morning. Books describe the preferred window slightly differently, so the exact timing is generally treated as flexible rather than fixed.

About the source

It is reported in Sahih al-Bukhari and/or Sahih Muslim, the two hadith collections that scholars rank highest for authenticity. The reference also cites Hisnul Muslim (Fortress of the Muslim), the popular compilation of daily supplications.
