Duas for wudu and prayer
Adhkar before and after ablution (wudu), and all duas inside prayer — from takbir to salam, including sujood, ruku, tashahhud, and salawat on the Prophet ﷺ.
Prayer is the pillar of the religion, and every stage — from ablution to the final salam — is consecrated by duas from the Sunnah. To skip them is to impoverish the prayer.
This section includes: duas before and after wudu, the opening supplication (istiftah), duas in ruku, on rising from ruku, in sujood, between the two prostrations, in the tashahhud, salawat on the Prophet ﷺ, the dua before salam, remembrance after salam, along with Qunut al-Witr and adhkar after witr.
Every Arabic text is given with diacritics, word-by-word translation, and audio so anyone can align their prayer with the Sunnah.
