Azaan Ke Baad Ki Dua is the prophetic supplication recited immediately after the Adhan (Azaan), the Islamic call to prayer. Once the adhan is completed, Muslims are encouraged to recite this dua after adhan, following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Adhan itself proclaims tawḥīd—the oneness of Allah—and His greatness, and the moments that follow it are an opportunity for dhikr and heartfelt supplication.
This dua after azaan is authentically recorded in Sahih Muslim. In it, believers ask Allah to bless His Messenger ﷺ, grant him the honored maqām al-maḥmūd (praised station), and make them among those who receive his shafāʿah (intercession) on the Day of Judgment. Through Azaan Ke Baad Ki Dua, the transition from call to prayer becomes an act of devotion, hope, and remembrance.

Azaan Ke Baad Ki Dua (Authentic Text — Arabic, Transliteration, Translation)
The dua after the Azaan is recorded in both Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that whoever recites it with sincerity will be blessed with his shafāʿah (intercession) on the Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Qiyāmah).
Arabic: اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ، وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ، آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ، وَالدَّرَجَةَ الرَّفِيعَةَ، وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ، وَارْزُقْنَا شَفَاعَتَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، إِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ Transliteration: Allāhumma Rabba hādhihi-d-daʿwati-t-tāmmah, waṣ-ṣalāti-l-qā’imah, ātī Muḥammadan al-wasīlata wa-l-faḍīlah, wa-d-darajata-r-rafīʿah, wabʿath-hu maqāman maḥmūdan allaḏī waʿadtah, wa-rzuqnā shafāʿatahu yawma-l-qiyāmah, innaka lā tukhlifu-l-mīʿād. English Translation: O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the established prayer, grant Muhammad ﷺ the Wasīlah (the loftiest rank in Paradise), the Faḍīlah (special virtue), and the highest degree, and raise him to the honored Maqām Maḥmūd (praised station) that You have promised him. And grant us his intercession on the Day of Resurrection, for surely You do not break Your promise.
Reciting this dua is a simple but powerful way of showing love for the Prophet ﷺ and turning the moments after the Azaan into worship. It is a reminder that every call to prayer is not only an invitation to salah but also a chance to seek Allah’s mercy and the Prophet’s ﷺ intercession.
Virtues of Reciting Dua After Azaan
The dua after the Azaan carries immense spiritual reward. In both Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that whoever recites this supplication with sincerity after the mu’azzin will be blessed with his shafāʿah (intercession) on the Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Qiyāmah). For a believer, this intercession is one of the greatest honors and a means of deliverance.
This dua also points to the elevated rank of the Prophet ﷺ, the Maqām Maḥmūd (Praised Station)—a station promised only to him. When a Muslim asks Allah to grant this rank to the Messenger ﷺ, it reflects love, loyalty, and recognition of his unique place in Islam. By reciting this dua, the simple act of responding to the Azaan becomes an act of dhikr, a hope for Allah’s mercy, and a renewal of faith.
How & When to Recite Dua After Azaan?
The dua after the Azaan should be recited right after the mu’azzin completes the call to prayer, and not while the Azaan is still being called. This applies to every Azaan—whether it is heard in the masjid, at home, or anywhere the call to prayer reaches.
There is no fixed requirement to raise the hands when making this dua, though some scholars mention it is allowed. What truly matters is ikhlāṣ—sincerity of intention—and khushūʿ—a heart that is humble and attentive. It may be recited softly, without the need to say it aloud.
This sunnah is encouraged for all Muslims, men and women alike. The wording is the same for each of the five daily prayers: Fajr, Dhuhr, ʿAsr, Maghrib, and ʿIshāʾ.
By keeping this practice, a believer not only responds to the call of prayer but also revives a beautiful sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and seeks his shafāʿah (intercession) on the Day of Resurrection (Yawm al-Qiyāmah)—a moment filled with hope and mercy.
