اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَاۤ أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُوْرُ. اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ. اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا وَعَمَلًا مُتَقَبَّلًا.
All praise is due to Allah, Who brought us back to life after causing us to die, and to Him is the resurrection. All praise is due to Allah in all circumstances. O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, pure provision, and acceptable deeds.
Al-hamdulillah alladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana wa ilayhin-nushur. Al-hamdulillah 'ala kulli hal. Allahumma inni as'aluka 'ilman nafi'an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa 'amalan mutaqabbalan.

This dua is recited immediately upon waking up in the morning. It's a beautiful way to start your day by acknowledging Allah's power over life and death, and by asking for the best provisions and deeds.
How to Read
Recite this dua as soon as you gain consciousness after waking. It's recommended to do so before getting out of bed, reflecting on the meaning of each phrase. Begin by praising Allah for giving you life back, then express gratitude for all situations, and finally, make a sincere request for beneficial knowledge, good sustenance, and deeds that are accepted by Him.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua encompasses comprehensive requests for a blessed day. Asking for 'beneficial knowledge' ('ilman nafi'an) ensures that any learning you do is useful and leads to good actions. 'Pure provision' (rizqan tayyiban) means asking for lawful and wholesome sustenance that brings barakah (blessing). And 'acceptable deeds' ('amalan mutaqabbalan) is the ultimate goal – that our worship and efforts are pleasing to Allah. The opening phrases themselves foster a spirit of gratitude and contentment, which can naturally lead to a more generous outlook.
