Dua of the Noon (Zuhr)

Text and Translation

It is recommended to perform the Noon Prayer at the beginning of its time. However, the first thing to do when it is midday (zuhr) is to say the following doxology (zikr):

سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَلَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَّلَا وَلَدًا وَّ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُ شَرِيْكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُ وَلِيٌّ مِّنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيْرًا۔

SUBHAANAL LAAHI WA LAAA ILAAHA ILLAL LAAHU WAL HAMDU LILLAAHIL LAZEE LAM YATTAKHIZ SAAHIBATAW WA LAA WALADAW WA LAM YAKUL LAHU SHAREEKUN FIL MULKI WA LAM YAKUL LAHU WALIYYUM MINAZ ZULLI WA KABBIRHU TAKBEERAA.

Glory be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and praise be to Allah, Who has taken no consort and no son, has no partner in dominion, and needs no protector out of weakness; so magnify Him with the greatest magnification.

It is reported that Imam al-Baqir (a) instructed Muhammad ibn Muslim to keep on saying this doxology just as he keeps his eyes from harm.

If you have not yet done the ritual ablution, you may hurry up and observe all the aforementioned etiquettes.
