Recite supplications before sleeping or waking up .

This hadith speaks of the supplications that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to make when going to bed and waking up. When he went to bed, he would say "Bismika-Allahumma amut wa ahya" which translates as "With Your Name, O Allah, I die and return to life". When he woke up, he would say "Al-hamdu lillahilladhi ahyana ba'da ma amatana, wa ilaihin-nushur" which translates as "All praise belongs to Allah Who has restored us back to life after causing us to die; and unto Him shall we return". These supplications are a reminder for us of our mortality - that we will all eventually die - but also of the mercy of God in restoring us back into life each day. It is important for Muslims everywhere not only recite these words but also reflect on their meanings so they can appreciate the blessings bestowed on them by God.
