The Second Morning/Evening Supplication

اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا

وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ

Allaahumma bika ‘asbahnaa, wa bika ‘amsaynaa, wa bika nahyaa, wa bika namootu wa ‘ilaykan-nushoor.

O Allah , by You we enter the morning and by You we enter the evening, (1) by You we live and and by You we die, and to You is the Final Return. (Bukhari)

Reference: (1) When you say this in the evening you should say: Allaahumma bika ‘amsaynaa wa bika ‘asbahnaa, wa bika nahyaa, wa bika namoot, wa ‘ilaykal-maseer : “O Allah, You bring us the end of the day as You bring us its beginning, You bring us life and you bring us death, and to You is our fate.”

Wisdom and Beauty

• And we believe that any achievement we achieve, or any movement we make in this life does not happen without the power of Allah.
• If we add to it, the belief that everything we do must be dedicated to Allah. As He (SAW) said commanding His Prophet (SAW): “Say, Indeed my prayers, my rites of sacrifice, my living and dying are all for Allah, Lord of the Worlds.” (Al An’am: 162)
• The end result will be a wonderful divine formula.
• This formula will emphasize the concept of Tawakkul (Putting trust in Allah) in our life.
• The power of Allah will be in our side, and with it, we will be able to achieve amazing results.
