Dua When Turning Over During the Night


The dua to be recited when turning over during the night is an excellent way to remember Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) when we are in a state of half-consciousness. The remembrance of the Almighty at such a stage and moment signifies the utmost belief that a believer puts in his Lord, and for this, the believer is rewarded in full. The dua praises the attributes of Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى) and is the perfect way of calling upon him during the night. The Prophet Muhammad () used to recite this dua when turning in his bed during the night [ Sahih al-Bukhari 1154]. This dua signifies that Muslims should remember Allah and express their gratitude in all conditions, whether awake, asleep, or in between the two states.
