Clothing is one of the greatest blessings of Allah ﷻ. It covers our body, protects us from heat and cold, and makes us look presentable. In Islam, even the simple act of wearing clothes becomes an act of worship if we follow the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. One of the most beautiful practices is reciting the Dua before wearing clothes, which not only shows gratitude to Allah but also brings barakah (blessings) in our life.
📿 Arabic
الحمدُ للهِ الذي كساني هذا الثوبَ ورزقنيه من غيرِ حولٍ مني ولا قوةٍ
📖 English Translation
“All praise is due to Allah who has clothed me with this garment and provided it for me without any power or strength from myself.”
📚 Urdu Translation
تمام تعریفیں اللہ کے لیے ہیں جس نے مجھے یہ لباس پہنایا اور مجھے یہ عطا فرمایا، بغیر میری طاقت اور قوت کے۔
