اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَمْسَى بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ
O Allah, whatever blessing has come to me in the evening is from You alone, without any partner. To You is all praise and to You is all gratitude.
Allahumma ma amsa bi min ni'matin fa-minka wahdaka la sharika lak, fa-lakal-hamdu wa lakash-shukr

How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and a present heart. Ensure you are in a state of purity if possible.

Virtues & Benefits
This dua encapsulates profound gratitude. By acknowledging that all blessings come from Allah alone, we strengthen our Tawhid (Oneness of Allah) and purify our intention. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us this dua, highlighting its importance in recognizing Allah's favor, which is a key aspect of being a thankful servant. Continuous gratitude invites further blessings and protection from Allah (SWT), as He states, "...if you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]..." (Quran 14:7).

Narrated Abdullah bin Ghannam Al-Anṣārī: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever says in the morning: 'Allahumma ma amsa bi min ni'matin fa-minka wahdaka la sharika lak, fa-lakal-hamdu wa lakash-shukr' (O Allah, whatever blessing has come to me in the morning is from You alone, without any partner. To You is all praise and to You is all gratitude), he has indeed expressed his gratitude for that day. And whoever says this in the evening, he has indeed expressed his gratitude for that night.'
