Adhkar said after each obligatory Salah are also said after the Jumu`ah Prayer and the Two `Eid Prayers

Q 3: Are the Adhkar (invocations) said after each obligatory Salah (Prayer) the same to the Adhkar said after the Jumu‘ah (Friday) Prayer and the Two ‘Eid Prayers?


A: It is permissible to say the Adhkar and Du‘a’ (supplications) reported from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) after each obligatory Salah also after the Jumu‘ah Prayer, as it is a Salah prescribed in congregation, so it is similar to the rest of the enjoined Salah and included in the Hadith narrated by Al-Mughirah ibn Shu‘bah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to say after each obligatory Salah, “La ilaha illa Allah wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulk wa lahul hamd wa huwa ‘ala kuli shay’in qadir. Allahuma la mani‘ lima a‘tayt wala mu‘ty lima mana‘t wala yanfa‘u dhal-jad minka aljad (There is no god but Allah Alone, with no partner or associate. His is the Sovereignty and His is the Praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah! None can withhold what You give and none can give what You withhold, and no one’s wealth or might is of any avail before You).” It is Sunnah (supererogatory act of worship following the example of the Prophet) for a person who offers the Jumu‘ah Prayer to say the Adhkar and Du‘a’s prescribed after each obligatory Salah, such as the Zhuhr (Noon), ‘Asr (Afternoon) and ‘Isha’ (Night) Prayer. As for the Two ‘Eid Prayers, they do not have specific Adhkar and Du‘a’s after them.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
