Du'a for wearing new clothes

When wearing something new we say “Allahumma lakal-hamdu anta kasawtanihi…” — thanking Allah for the clothes and asking for their good. Toddlers can begin with “Alhamdulillah”.

Teacher review under way.

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ كَسَوْتَنِيهِ، أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهُ وَخَيْرَ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَشَرِّ مَا صُنِعَ لَهُ

Allahumma lakal-hamdu anta kasawtanihi, as'aluka khayrahu wa khayra ma suni'a lah, wa a'udhu bika min sharrihi wa sharri ma suni'a lah

“O Allah, all praise is Yours. You have dressed me in this. I ask You for its good and the good it was made for, and I seek Your protection from its harm and the harm it was made for.”

Good to know: Toddlers can start with “Alhamdulillah”. The wording matches the NoorHop song “Brand-New Clothes”.

For little ones

What it means

“Thank You, Allah, for my new clothes — please let them bring only good things.”

The moment

When we say it

When we put on something new for the first time — Eid clothes, new shoes, a new coat.

Teach it

How to teach it in 3 steps

Step 1: Sing the “Brand-New Clothes” song while trying on something new.
Step 2: Little ones can say “Alhamdulillah!” — older children learn the first line, then the rest.
Step 3: Talk about children who need clothes, and pick something to give away together.

Questions parents ask

Is there a shorter du'a for getting dressed every day?

Yes — for everyday clothes many families say “Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi kasani hadhath-thawba wa razaqanihi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah” (Sunan Abi Dawud 4023). Ask your teacher which to start with.

I've seen “as'aluka min khayrihi…”. Which is right?

Both are reported: Jami' at-Tirmidhi has “as'aluka khayrahu…” (the wording on this page and in the song) and Sunan Abi Dawud has “as'aluka min khayrihi…”. They mean the same — pick one and keep it the same at home.
