SUNNATS AT THE TIME OF WAKING FROM SLEEP

  1. When the eyes open in the morning, say Al'hamdulillah 3 times and after reciting Kalimah Tayyibah - Laa ilaaha illallaahu Muhammad-ur-Rasoolullaah - read this du'aa:

  2. Al'hamdu lillaahil lazi a'hyaanaa ba'damaa amaatanaa wa ilayhin nushoor
    All Praise be to     Allah Who gave us life after having given us death and(our) final return (on the Day of judgement) is to Him.

    (Bukhaari, Aboo Daawood, Nasa'ee)

  3. Immediately upon waking from sleep, rub the face and the eyes with both hands so that the effect of sleep goes away.

    4. (Shamaa’il-e-Tirmizi)

  4. Whenever you get up from sleep, use Miswaak.

    5. (Musnad-e-Ahmad, Aboo Daawood)

    Note: Miswaak will be used a second time during wuzoo. To use Miswaak immediately upon waking from sleep is a separate Sunnah.

  5. When you put on your trousers, put it on your right leg first and then on the left. When putting on the shirt, then start with the right hand and then the left. Same is the case with waist coat. Likewise, the shoes; first put on the right and then the left. When you take (anything) off, then first take off the left side and then the right. This is the Masnoon method of taking off anything worn on the body.
  6. Before entering the hands in the utensils, wash them three times thoroughly.
