'Athkar' After Salat
(from Prophet Muhammad ﷺ)
1. After Finishing the Salat (after Taslim)
Say three times:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ
Astaghfirullah — “I seek forgiveness from Allah.”
📖 Sahih Muslim (597)
Then say once:
اللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الإِكْرَامِ
Allahumma anta as-salamu wa minka as-salam, tabarakta ya dhal-jalali wal-ikram
“O Allah, You are Peace, and from You comes peace; blessed are You, O Owner of Majesty and Honor.”
📖 Sahih Muslim (591)
2. Say once:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
La ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku walahul-ḥamd, wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadir.
“None has the right to be worshiped except Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion, His is the praise, and He has power over all things.”
📖 Sahih Muslim (594)
3. Say:
Subḥan Allah – 33 times
The phrase “Subhana Lah” (سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ) means:
“Glory be to Allah” or “Allah is free from any imperfection.”
The Arabic root س-ب-ح (s-b-h), carries the meaning of declaring something pure, far above any fault or imperfection.
Muslims often say it after prayer, when remembering Allah, or upon seeing something amazing — to acknowledge Allah’s perfection and greatness.
Al-Hamdu Lillah – 33 times
Alhamdulillah (ٱلْـحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ) means:
“All praise and thanks belong to Allah.”
It expresses gratitude, recognition, and love — acknowledging that every blessing, success, and goodness comes only from Allah.
It combines praise (ḥamd) for who Allah is and thanks (shukr) for what He gives.
Allahu Akbar – 34 times
Allahu Akbar (اللّٰهُ أَكْبَرُ) means: “Allah is the Greatest.”
It declares nothing is greater than Allah — not in power, knowledge, mercy, or authority. You can say it during prayer, in times of joy or distress, and to remind the heart Allah is above all things.
🕊️ (If you do 33 of each, then finish with:)
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
📖 Sahih Muslim (597)
4. Recite Ayat al-Kursi
. . . اللّٰهُ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
“Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after each obligatory salat, nothing prevents him from entering Paradise except death.”
📖 An-Nasa’i (992) Sahih
5. Recite:
Surah Al-Ikhlās (112)
Surah Al-Falaq (113)
Surah An-Nās (114)
> 1 time after each salat <
> 3 times after Fajr & Maghrib <
📖 Tirmidhi (2903), Abu Dawud (1523)
6. After Fajr and Maghrib only:
اللّٰهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ
Alla-humma ajirni min an-nar
“O Allah, protect me from the Fire.” — seven times
📖 Abu Dawud (5079)
7. Optional but Authentic Supplication:
اللّٰهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَىٰ ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ
Allahumma a‘inni ‘ala thikrika wa shukrika wa husni ibadatik
“O Allah, help me remember You, thank You, and worship You in the best way.”
📖 Abu Dawud (1522), Sahih Muslim (684)
