Commentary

This explanation comes from the book “Riyadus Saliheen” by Sheikh ibn Uthaimeen. It talks about a special phrase you can say in the morning and evening. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, some words of remembrance when he asked.

The Prophet taught him a specific phrase to remember and say during these times. Abu Bakr reported that the Prophet said, “You should recite these words, ‘Allaahumma faatira as-samaawaat wal-ard Aalimal-gaybi wash-Shahaadah, Rabba kulli shay-in wa Maleekuhu,’ which means ‘O Allah! Creator of the heavens and the earth! Knower of the hidden and the exposed! Lord of every thing and their Master.’

When you say, ‘Allaahumma faatira as-samaawaat wal-ard,’ you’re saying, ‘O Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.’ This means you’re recognizing Allah as the One who made everything, without using any pre-existing materials. He brought them into existence from nothing, showing His great power and uniqueness.”

“‘Aalimal-gaybi wash-Shahaadah’ means ‘Knower of the hidden and the exposed.’ It shows that Allah knows everything hidden from us and everything we can see. This is because Allah, the Most High, knows the past, present, and future.

Rabba kulli shay-in wa Maleekuhu’ means ‘Lord of every thing and their Master.’ This means Allah is the Lord of every tiny thing, and He has complete control over them.

Allah, the Most High, is the Lord and Master of everything. The difference between Lord and Master in this saying is that the Lord is the One who created everything, while the Master is the One who controls them however He wants.

Ash-hadu an laa ilaaha illaa anta’ means ‘I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but You.’ It means I acknowledge with my words and heart that only You deserve to be worshipped.

Anything worshipped besides Allah is wrong and doesn’t deserve worship. Only Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, deserves to be worshipped.

A’oodhubika min sharri nafsee’ means ‘I seek Your protection from the evil of my own soul‘ because the soul can have bad things in it, as Allah, the Most High, says:”

“And I fear not myself (from the blame). Verily, the (human) self is inclined to evil, except when my Lord bestows His Mercy (upon whom He wills) verily, my Lord is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful”.

(Surah Yusuf: 53)

“If Allah doesn’t protect you from the evils of your own soul, it will harm you and push you to do wrong. But if He shields you from its harm, it will guide you towards all that is good.

Wa sharri shaytaan wa shirkihi’ means ‘And from the evil of Satan and his associating partners with Allah.’ In another version, ‘wa sharakihi’ (meaning ‘And his partners’). This means you should ask Allah to safeguard you from the Devil’s evil and from associating partners with Allah, which he invites you to do.

This refers to the traps or snares he sets, like those used in hunting whales or birds. The Devil has traps to ensnare humans, including evil desires and doubts.

Wa an aqtarifa ‘alaa nafsee soo-an aw ajirhu ilaa Muslimin’ means ‘And from causing harm to myself or bringing harm upon another Muslim.’

This completes the supplication. Perhaps it was omitted in this version. ‘Wa an aqtarifa ‘alaa nafsee soo-an’ means ‘And from causing harm to myself.’

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) advised Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, to recite this remembrance in the morning, evening, and before going to bed.

We pray to Allah for guidance and success for you and all of us in what pleases Him.”
