Listen to the Fourteenth Supplication:

أَصْبَحْنَا عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَعَلَى كَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ،

وَعَلَى دِينِ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَى اللهُ عَلِيهِ وَسَلَّمَ،

وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَنِيفَاً مُسْلِماً وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

We have entered a new day (1) upon the natural religion of Islam, the word of sincere devotion, the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the faith of our father Ibrahim. He was upright (in worshipping Allah), and a Muslim. He was not of those who worship others besides Allah. (To be reicted once in the morning and once in the evening)

(1) When you say this in the evening, you should say: ‘Amsaynaa ‘alaa fitratil-‘Islaam…: “We end this day…”

Hadith of this Supplication:

Narrated Aburrahman ibn Abzah (RA) that the Prophet (SAW) used to say in the morning and the evening “We have entered a new day upon the natural religion of Islam, the word of sincere devotion, the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the faith of our father Ibrahim. He was upright (in worshipping Allah), and a Muslim. He was not of those who worship others besides Allah.” (Ahmed)

Beauty of this Supplication

• It is a confirmation of our faith.
• It is a statement meant to embody a strong opposition and challenge to the efforts of shaitan.
• Shaitan’s work focuses on making people deviate from the fitra which is the natural religion of Ibrahim (AS)
