Since day dreaming is brought on by Shaytaan to distract one from the
remembrance of Allah Ta’ala, so whenever one realises that he has been day
dreaming, he should recite ‘Ta’awwuz’ (Aoodhu billaah’.
You should also endervour to inculcate within yourself the quality of Dhikr
(to be constantly in the remembrance of Allah Ta’ala). Dhikr polishes and
brings an awareness into the heart. Begin with the 3 Masnoon Tasbeehaats to
be recited morning and evening, viz. 100 times third Kalimah, 100 times
Istighfaar and 100 times Durood Shareef. Try also to learn some of the
Masnoon Du’aas, e.g. before and after eating, drinking, etc. and recite them
at their appropriate times. Insha Allah, with punctuality, within a brief
period, you will notice a marked difference.
Hereunder are a few Du’aas you may recite whenever you wish:
1. Allaahumma inniy A’oodhu bika minal hamm wal hazan wal ajzi wal kasli wal
bukhl wal jubn wa dalaaid dayn wa ghalaabatir rijaal. (Hisnul Haseen pg.449;
Darul Ishaat)
2. Wa a’oddhu bika minal qaswati wal ghaflat wal ‘aylat wadh dhillat wal
maskanah (Ibid)
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
