Namaz Ke Baad Ki Dua aur Azkar (Masnoon)

نماز کے بعد کی دعائیں اور اذکار

2026-10-08 · Hanafi

Namaz ke baad ki dua takes two or three minutes and multiplies the reward of your prayer. These are the azkar the Prophet ﷺ said after salam, in the order most people read them.

1. Istighfar and Allahumma antas-salam

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ (ثَلاَثَاً) اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ، وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ، تَبَارَكْتَ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ

Astaghfirullah (3 times). Allahumma antas-salam, wa minkas-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 honour."

2. Tasbeeh: 33, 33, 34

Subhan Allah 33 times, Alhamdulillah 33 times and Allahu Akbar 33 times, completing a hundred with La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa 'ala kulli shai'in qadir (or Allahu Akbar a 34th time). The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever does this after every prayer, his sins are forgiven even if they are like the foam of the sea (Sahih Muslim 1352).

3. Ayatul Kursi

Read Ayatul Kursi after every farz prayer. It is the greatest verse of the Quran (Sahih Muslim 1885).

4. The three Quls

Read Surah Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas once after each prayer, and three times after Fajr and Maghrib.

5. After Fajr and Maghrib

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Ten times after Fajr and Maghrib. After Fajr also: Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbala ("O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision and accepted deeds").

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make my own dua after namaz?

Yes. After the masnoon azkar, ask Allah for anything in any language.

Should the azkar be read after sunnah or farz?

They are read after the farz. In the Hanafi school, if a sunnah follows the farz (as in Zuhr, Maghrib and Isha), keep the azkar short (e.g. Allahumma antas-salam), pray the sunnah, then complete the rest.

Is raising hands for dua after namaz allowed?

Raising the hands in dua is established in general; individual dua after the azkar is fine.

Conclusion

Start with just the tasbeeh 33/33/34 after every prayer this week; add Ayatul Kursi next week. Small daily additions last.
