Dhuha dua and dua for rizq and sustenance

doa Dhuha rumi

Seeking provisions is part of human life. In fact, we are encouraged to work for our livelihood and fulfill our obligations and responsibilities. Allah s.w.t. says in the Quran:

Once the prayer is over, disperse throughout the land and seek the bounty of Allah. And remember Allah often so you may be successful.

(Surah Al-Jumu’ah, 62:10)

On top of putting the right effort, we should also supplicate to Allah s.w.t. for sustenance and provisions. There are many Dua that we can find in the Quran and Hadith to guide us in our supplications.

waktu Dhuha

Besides the Dhuha prayer, we can also recite plenty of other Duas to seek provisions from Allah s.w.t. as it is also recognised as a form of worship. An-Nu'man Bin Bashir r.a reported the Prophet s.a.w said:

 Du'a (supplication) is worship.

(Sunan Abu Daud)

Although we supplicate to seek sustenance, from this hadith, let us also bear in mind that the overarching intention is to please and worship Allah s.w.t. In pleasing The Provider, Allah will definitely suffice us. Here are some Duas that we can recite in seeking for sustenance:

1. Doa Dhuha

Dhuha waktu

The Dhuha prayer is often associated by many with ease of sustenance and provisions. In truth, it entails a lot more rewards than sustenance, such as forgiveness, repentance and protection from heedlessness as seen in multiple narrations regarding it. One such narration that depicts its significance is by Abu Hurayrah r.a who said:

My beloved companion (the Prophet s.a.w) advised me to do three things: To fast three days every month, to offer the Dhuha prayer, and to offer the Witr prayer before sleeping.

(Sahih Al-Bukhari)

The time of Dhuha begins after the sun fully rises which is about 20 mins after Syuruq (7:30 am) and until the Azan for Zuhur prayer. We can perform the 2-rakaat Dhuha prayer during this time.

Time of Dhuha prayer do a

As we are encouraged to continue supplicate to Allah s.w.t. after our Dhuha prayer, you may recite any sincere Dua from the heart. If you are unsure of what to supplicate, you may also supplicate a Dua that is encouraged by our teachers to be read after the Dhuha prayer:

اَللّهُمَّ اِنَّ الضُّحَاءَ ضُحَاءُكَ وَالْبَهَاءَ بَهَائُكَ وَالْجَمَالَ جَمَالُكَ وَالْقُوَّةَ قُوَّتُكَ وَالْقُدْرَةَ قُدْرَتُكَ وَالْعِصْمَةَ عِصْمَتُكَ اَللّهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ رِزْقِى فِى السَّمَاءِ فَاَنْزِلْهُ وَاِنْ كَانَ فِى الْلأَرْضِ فَأَخْرِجْهُ وَاِنْ كَانَ بَعِيْدًا فَقَرِّبْهُ وَاِنْ كَانَ مُعَسِّرًا فَيَسِّرْهُ وَاِنْ كَانَ حَرَامًا فَطَهِّرْهُ بِحَقِّ ضُحَائِكَ وَبَهَائِكَ وَجَمَالِكَ وَقُوَّتِكَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ. اللهُمَّ اَتِنِى مَا اَتَيْتَ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِيْنَ

 

Allahumma innad-dhuha-a dhuha-uka, wal-baha-a baha-uka, wal-jamala jamaluka, wal-quwwata quwwatuk, wal-qudrata qudratuk, wal-’ismata ‘ismatuk.

Allahumma in kana rizqi fis-sama-i fa-anzilhu wa-in kana fil-ardhi fa-akhrijhu, wa-in kana ba’eedan faqarribhu, wa-in kana mu’assiran fa yassirhu, wa-in kana haroman fa-tahhirhu, bihaqqi dhuha-ika wa-baha-ika wa jamalika wa quwwatika wa qudratika.

O Allah! The brightness of the morning (Dhuha) is Your Brightness, and the radiance is Your Radiance, and the beauty is Your Beauty, and the might is Your Might, and the power is Your Power, and the protection is Your Protection.

O Allah. If my sustenance is in the Heaven, then send it down to me, and if it is in the earth, then extract it for me, and if it is far away, then bring it closer to me, and if it is filled with challenges, then ease it for me, and if it (the means) is forbidden, then purify it for me. By Your Brightness, Radiance, Beauty, Might and Power, O Allah, grant me of what You granted Your righteous servants.
