صبح کا ایمان کا اقرار
Arabic
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ 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 صبح 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 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.
