Sleep and Night Duas
13 entriesSleep and night duas are the duas recited when lying down in bed, before sleeping, when waking up at night and after a bad dream. In this section, the duas and tasbih recited when going to bed, the istighfar before sleeping, the dua recited when frightened in sleep, the dua recited against fear at night and what to do after a bad dream are gathered on separate pages.
The night is a time especially recommended for dua. The dhikr and istighfar made before falling asleep serve as a reckoning that closes the day, while the duas recited on waking at night are meant to benefit from the blessing of that hour.
On each page, the Arabic text of the dua with full vowel marks, its transliteration, its meaning and its source are given.

In this section each of them is given on a separate page with its transliteration and meaning.
