In Islam, it is recommended to recite a specific dua (supplication) when wearing new clothes. The dua is as follows:
“Alhamdu lillaahil-lathee kasaanee haathaa (aththawba) wa razaqaneehi min ghayri hawlim-minnee wa laa quwwatin.”
This dua can be translated as:
“All praise belongs to Allah who adorned me with this (clothing) and provided it for me without any effort or power on my part.”
When reciting this dua, we express gratitude and acknowledge that it is Allah who has blessed us with new clothes. We recognize that it is solely by His grace and provision that we are able to possess and enjoy these garments. By saying this dua, we also seek to maintain a humble and thankful attitude towards the blessings in our lives.
It is worth mentioning that the specific wording of the dua can vary slightly, as there may be different versions or variations found in different sources or cultural practices. However, the essence and meaning remain the same – expressing gratitude and recognizing Allah’s blessings.
When it comes to personal experiences, I remember a time when I received a beautiful new outfit as a gift. As I eagerly tried it on, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of joy and gratitude. In that moment, I recited the dua for new clothes, feeling truly grateful to Allah for providing me with such a wonderful gift. It reminded me of the countless blessings I have been bestowed upon and the importance of expressing thankfulness in every aspect of my life.
The dua for wearing new clothes is a beautiful expression of gratitude towards Allah for His blessings. By reciting this dua, we acknowledge that all good things come from Him and it encourages us to maintain a thankful and humble attitude in our lives. May Allah bless us all with an abundance of His blessings and guide us on the path of gratitude.
