الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ
All praise is due to Allah Who has clothed me with this garment and provided it for me, without any strength or power from myself.
Alhamdulillahilladhi kasani hadha ath-thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah.
When to Read
This beautiful dua is recited immediately after putting on a new garment. It's a moment to pause and reflect, not just on the physical covering, but on the blessing of having sustenance and the ability to wear it, all from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala). Think of it as your first act of gratitude for this new blessing.
How to Read
Recite this dua with sincerity and presence of heart after you have finished dressing in new clothes. The intention is to acknowledge Allah's grace in providing this garment. The words themselves are simple, but their meaning is profound, reminding us that even the ability to obtain and wear clothes is a gift from our Creator.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua is more than just words; it's a declaration of Tawhid (Oneness of Allah) and a recognition of our complete dependence on Him. By reciting it, we: * **Acknowledge Allah's Blessings:** We thank Him for the provision of the clothing and the means to acquire it. * **Express Humility:** We recognize that our strength and ability come from Allah, not from our own might or ingenuity. * **Seek Protection:** While this specific dua focuses on gratitude for new clothes, the act of remembering Allah in all our affairs, including dressing, is a means of His protection and pleasure. It sets a positive spiritual tone for wearing the new item. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught this dua, showing us how even seemingly mundane acts can become acts of worship and remembrance, drawing us closer to Allah.
