Dua in Sajdah—From Hadith

In sujood, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would make many beautiful duas. The main hadith-based dua is

Arabic:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى

Transliteration:

Subḥāna Rabbiyal-A‘lā

Meaning:

“Glory is to my Lord, the Most High.”

🔹 Source: Sahih Muslim, Sahih Bukhari — The Prophet ﷺ would say this 3 times or more during every sajda in prayer.

Dua in Sujood During Fard Salah

In fard (obligatory) salah, you should at least say:

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الأَعْلَى (Subḥāna Rabbiyal-A‘lā)

You can also add extra duas after this — especially in the last sajda of the final rak’ah — though this is more common in sunnah/nafl prayers, not always during fard (depending on school of thought).

Some examples from Hadith:

Example 1:

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي
Allahummaghfir lī
“O Allah, forgive me.”

Example 2:

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ…
“O Allah, to You I have prostrated, in You I have believed, and to You I have submitted…”

Benefits of Sajde Ki Dua

In Islam, the supplications during sajda, or prostration, have their spiritual merits and are taken as the height of being closer to Allah. Below are some of the benefits one may get from sajda ki duaen:

Deep Humility: Sajda is a physical manifestation of humility, and the duas made during this position reflect the worshiper’s acknowledgment of his state of servitude and subordination before Allah. It is said to instill and inculcate a character of humbleness and modesty in a person’s personality.

Sajda is a special time to have direct conversation with Allah. The dua made while prostrating allows the Muslims to directly have their deepest thoughts, needs, and desires conveyed to the Creator.

Forgiveness and Repentance: Sajda is considered the time when a believer may seek repentance and forgiveness of one’s sins. These supplications during this act are generally directed for Allah’s mercy and pardon.

Gratitude and Thankfulness: One often finds praise for the blessings and favors bestowed by Allah in most of the duaen in sajda. This helps instill in the believer the habit of reflecting upon their blessings and appreciating the goodness in life.

Spiritual Cleansing: Prostration, along with the duaen recited during this act, is believed to have the effect of cleansing the soul from corruption. One of the most recurrent themes in these supplications is seeking forgiveness and purification from sins.

Protection from Evil: Some duaen while in sajda may include appeals for protection from harm, evil, and trials. The believers ask for Allah’s protection against physical and spiritual challenges.

Guidance and Wisdom: A great number of duaen made during sajda relate to seeking guidance, wisdom, and understanding. This proves an indication of human dependence upon Allah to show the path in treading along life’s complexities.

Dua in sajda reinforces faith and dependence on Allah. That is where the believer implores Allah, knowing full well that He has wisdom and capability and that his prayers are heard and answered.

Connection with Allah’s Names and Attributes: Most of the duas said in sajda mention specific names and attributes of Allah, especially those relevant to mercy, forgiveness, and benevolence. This looks to deepen the understanding of Allah’s qualities that the worshiper applies.
