What Is Asked in This Dua

In this short dua, recited after the sunnah of the Fajr prayer, the servant calls upon Allah as the Lord of the great angels and of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Jibril, Israfil and Mika’il are among Allah’s most exalted angels, and the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ is His final messenger. By turning to Allah, the Lord of these chosen beings, the servant remembers His greatness and His sovereignty over the most excellent of His creation.

The dua has a single request: seeking refuge in Allah from the Fire. The servant asks to be protected from Hell for the sake of the Lord of the angels and of the Prophet; in other words, he makes the closeness of these exalted servants to Allah a means for his own request to be accepted.

A servant who begins the day aware of seeking refuge from Hell arranges everything he does that day with the reckoning of the Hereafter in mind.
