Dua When Wearing Clothes In English

The meaning of the Dua: All praise is due to Allah who has clothed me with this garment and provided me with it without any effort or power of mine.

There is no doubt that one cannot bring to his soul benefit nor harm, except what Allah wills.

There is no doubt that what we eat, drink and wear is from the favor of Allah, the Honored and Glorious is He, and that He is the One Who created it for us.

Had Allah not made it easy, it would not have been easy to obtain.

If Allah, the most High willed, money would have vanished from our hands and we would not be able to achieve anything.

If Allah willed, He would make money present with us but we would not find anything to eat or wear or drink:

“Say (O Muhammad) Tell me! If (all) your water were to sinkaway, who then can supply you with flowing (spring) water?

Everything with us of blessing is from Allah and amongst this is clothing.

If Allah favors you with a new cloth, shirt or trouser or cloak or gutrah, or fanilah and you wear it, say:

‘O Allah, praise be to You, You have clothed me with it,’ and you mention it by its name, for example:

‘O Allah, praise be to You, You have clothed me this shirt, You have clothed me this trouser, You have clothed me this gatrah, You have clothed me this cap, You have clothed me this wrapper, You have clothed me this fanilah and so on.’

Whatever you wear and is new, praise Allah for it and say:

‘O Allah, praise be to You have clothed me this, I ask You for its good and goodness for which it has been made, and I seek your protection from its evil and the evil for which it has been made.’

This (the cloth) could be a source of evil for you or fire might consume its edge and it ignite till it engulfs the entire garment and engulf you.

There might even be on it poisonous things about which you are not aware.

It may induce one to pride and tyranny over people.

Or it could be a source offitnah (tribulation) which is one of the worst for of evils and corruption.

Such is the like of the dresses which some women specialize in making, similar to the dresses of western disbelieving women.

The most important is that you say:

‘O Allah, I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil for which it has been made.’

This is because it has been made and could be a means to evil.

So, these are four sentence:

‘O Allah, to You is Praise, You have clothed me this, I seek refuge with You from its evil and evil for which it has been made, I ask you of its good and goodness for which it has been made.’
