Morning Dua for Protection from Ignorance and Misguidance

Morning Adhkar
Sahih HadithSahih Muslim 2708

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ، وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَفُجْأَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ، وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أُمُورِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ.

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the decline of Your blessings, the change of Your protection, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all that You are displeased with. I seek refuge in You from the trials of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the affairs of this world and the Hereafter.

Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min zawali ni'matik, wa tahawwuli 'afiyatik, wa fuj'ati niqmatik, wa jami'i sakhatik. Wa a'udhu bika min fitnatil qabr, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid Dajjal, wa a'udhu bika min umurid dunya wal akhirah.
