Fajr is considered the most important Salah of the day, with a slightly different Adhan. Muslims worldwide offer the Salah in the early morning, and they feel blessed the whole day.
There are dua after waking up and morning duas that we should recite before offering the Fajr Salah. This blog will discuss the best dua after the Fajr Salah, when to recite it, and its benefits.
Best Dua after Fajr (Recite three times)
اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Dua after Fajr in English: Allahumma ‘aafini fi badani, Allahumma ‘aafini fi sam’i, Allahumma ‘aafini fi basari, la ilaha illa anta. x3
Translation: O God, grant me soundness in my hearing; O God, grant me soundness in my sight. There is no god but Thee.
Hadith: Abd ar-Rahman b. Abu Bakra said that he remarked to his father that he had heard him say every morning, “O God, grant me soundness in my body; O God, grant me soundness in my hearing; O God, grant me soundness in my sight. There is no god but Thee, and he repeated it three times, morning and evening. He replied, “Sonny, I heard God’s messenger using these words as a supplication and I like to follow his practice.” —Mishkat al-Masabih 2413, Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 701, Sunan Abi Dawud 5090
Explanation: The Holy Prophet (PBUH) used this supplication after offering the Fajr prayer. In this supplication, he asked Allah to give power to the body so that he could spread Islam. He asked for the ability to listen and understand so he could listen to what the non-believers had to say about Islam and he asked for a perfect sight which can be translated into a vision.
We must follow the messenger and recite this dua daily after Fajr Salah. You can also recite the regular dua after Salah with it.

Numerous supplications can be made after the Fajr Salah. You can recite Alhamdulillah several times to start your day with Allah’s blessings, or you can read this guide on the dua for a good day.

Dua after Salat al-Fajr in English: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, `adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinatah `arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi
Translation: Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good Pleasure, equal to the weight of His Throne and equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise).
Hadith: Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith (May Allah be pleased with her), the Mother of the Believers, reported: The Prophet (PBUH) came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer. He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet (PBUH) said, “Are you still in the same position as I left you.” I replied in the affirmative. Thereupon the Prophet said, “I recited four words three times after I had left you. If these are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These are: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, `adada khalqihi, wa rida nafsihi, wa zinatah `arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi. —Riyad as-Salihin 1433
