Morning and Evening:

- Before Sleeping:
- Allahumma bi ismik amutu wa ahyaa (O Allah, in Your name I die and I come alive) [Sahih Bukhari]
Daily Activities:
- Entering the Mosque:
- Bismillah, wal-hamdu lillahi dakhulna, wa billahi nakhruju, wa `ala rabbina naslahu (In the name of Allah, all praise is due to Allah upon entering, and upon leaving, we rely upon our Lord) [Sahih Muslim]
- Leaving the Mosque:
- Ghufranaka al-`alimu al-hakim (May You forgive us, O Knowing, O Wise) [Sahih Muslim]

- Bismillah, Allahumma barik lana fihi wa qina athana min an-nar (In the name of Allah, O Allah, bless us in it and keep us safe from the Hellfire) [Sahih Bukhari]
- After Eating:
- Al-hamdu lillahi alladhi at'amana wa saqana wa waffa lanaa ahsan al-juudi (All praise is due to Allah, Who has fed us and given us drink, and provided for us in the best of ways) [At-Tirmidhi]
Other Supplications:
