Islam provides guidance for every aspect of life, including how to begin your day after waking up. Starting the day with gratitude, cleanliness, and worship sets the tone for a blessed and productive day. Here are the etiquettes of waking up after sleep as taught in Islamic teachings:
1. Wake Up Quickly
Rising early is beneficial for physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It helps in making the most of the day and managing tasks effectively.
2. Rub Your Eyes to Shake Off Sleepiness
Rubbing the eyes after waking up is a natural way to shake off sleepiness and become more alert. It is also a Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
3. Express Gratitude to Allah with the Prescribed Supplications
Upon waking up, it is important to thank Allah for granting us life after sleep, which is often compared to a state of temporary death. The following supplication is recommended:
١ . الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا، وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ.
٢. الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي فِي جَسَدِي، وَرَدَّ عَلَيَّ رُوحِي، وَأَذِنَ لي بِذِكْرِهِ .
٣. لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ، رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي .
٤. لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّه وَحْدَهُ، لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
٥. لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، سُبْحَانَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِذَنْبِي، وَأَسْأَلُكَ رَحْمَتَكَ، اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنِي عِلْمًا، وَلَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنِي، وَهَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ.
4. Recite the Last Verses of Surah Al-Imran
It is Sunnah to recite the last verses of Surah Al-Imran (Chapter 3, Verses 190-200) after waking up. These verses encourage reflection on Allah’s signs and His greatness.
5. Use Miswak
Using a Miswak (tooth-stick) for oral hygiene is a highly recommended practice. It not only cleanses the mouth but also earns Allah's pleasure.
6. Wash Both Hands Three Times Up to the Wrists
It is essential to wash both hands three times upon waking up to maintain cleanliness and remove any impurity or laziness caused by sleep.
7. Perform Wudu
Performing ablution (Wudu) refreshes the body and prepares one for worship. Special attention should be given to cleaning the nose thoroughly, as instructed in the Sunnah.
8. Wake Up Family Members
After waking up, it is virtuous to wake up family members for prayer, ensuring that everyone starts their day with worship and blessings.
9. Pray the Fajr Prayer
Starting the day with the Fajr prayer is the best way to connect with Allah. It refreshes the soul, strengthens faith, and brings blessings to the day ahead.
Conclusion
The etiquettes of waking up after sleep are a beautiful way to align one’s life with the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ. By incorporating these practices into our daily routine, we can achieve both worldly benefits and eternal rewards. May Allah grant us the ability to follow these etiquettes. Ameen.
