الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ

Virtues & Benefits
Wearing new clothes is a blessing from Allah. This dua helps us to: 1. **Express Gratitude:** It's a direct acknowledgement of Allah's favor upon us. 2. **Humble Ourselves:** By attributing the provision to Allah and negating our own strength ('wa la quwwah'), we remind ourselves that we are dependent on Him. 3. **Seek Protection:** Just as we seek Allah's help for all things, this dua begins the journey of the new garment with His name, seeking His barakah (blessings) in it. It’s more than just a prayer; it’s a mindset shift, ensuring our worldly blessings remind us of our Creator.

Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Whoever wears a new garment and says: > **Arabic:** الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ > **Translation:** 'All praise is due to Allah Who has clothed me with this (garment) and provided it for me, without any strength or power from my side.' Then Allah will forgive him for his past sins and what he will do in the way of sins after that.'
