In the Madani Halqahs of Dawat-e-Islami’s Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ this week, the Du’a of ‘wearing a new garment’ will be taught as per the schedule. The Du’a is as following:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ الَّذِیْ کَسَانِیْ   ھٰذَا  وَ رَزَقَنِیْہِ  مِنْ  غَیْرِ   حَوْلٍ  مِّنِّیْ  وَ لَا  قُوَّ ۃٍ

Translation: All praises are for Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ who clothed me with this garment and blessed me with it without my power.
