Dua Wearing Clothes

From Clothing Azkar — Hisnul Muslim

The clothing azkar open with this brief dua, said every time a Muslim puts on a garment, tying the everyday blessing of being clothed back to its true source: Allah's provision alone. It is one of the shortest yet most frequently repeated remembrances in a Muslim's day, said with nearly every act of dressing.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَسَانِي هَذَا الثَّوْبَ وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ.

Alhamdu lillahil-ladhi kasani hadhath-thawba wa razaqaneehi min ghayri hawlin minni wa la quwwah.
