الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ
All praise is due to Allah Who clothed me with this garment and provided it to me without any power or strength from myself.
Alhamdulillah alladhi kasani hadha ath-thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah
When to Read
This beautiful dua is recited when you put on any new piece of clothing, whether it's a shirt, pants, a scarf, or even socks. It's a moment to acknowledge Allah's grace in providing for you.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincere gratitude. Feel the fabric, and let the words of praise flow from your heart. It's a simple yet profound way to start wearing something new, remembering that all provisions come from Allah.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua encapsulates deep gratitude. By attributing the provision of the clothing to Allah alone, and acknowledging your own lack of power in obtaining it, you are practicing true Tawhid (Oneness of Allah). It opens the door for Allah's blessings in whatever you do while wearing the garment, and it's a way to seek protection from envy or misuse of the clothing. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught this dua as a way of expressing thankfulness for even the smallest of blessings.

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: When the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to wear a new garment, he would mention its name (e.g., a shirt or a turban), and then say: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ (Alhamdulillah alladhi kasani hadha wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah). - Sunan Abi Dawood 4023. (Tirmidhi also narrated it and said it is Hasan Gharib - Tirmidhi 1767).
