Waking Up _ Dua

Bismillah (in the name of God)
~
There can be multiple Duas for each situation. The most common one(s) I will place at the top, and gradually the less common ones will follow.

Dua 1;

Arabic:

الحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

Romanization:

alhamdu lillaahil-ladhee ahyaanaa ba'da maa amaatanaa wa ilayhin-nushoor

Translation:

All praise is for Allah who gave us life after causing us to die, and unto Him is the resurrection.

Significance:

This dua was said to be recited by the Prophet Muhammad saw (the last prophet) when he woke up in Sahih-Al-Bukhari #6312 (Cite/ Resource)

Dua 2;

Arabic:

اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِيالسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاواتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

Romanized:

Allahu laaa ilaaha illaa huwal haiyul qai-yoom; laa taakhuzuhoo sinatunw wa laa nawm; lahoo maa fissamaawaati wa maa fil ard; man zallazee yashfa'u indahoo illaa be iznih; ya'lamu maa baina aideehim wa maa khalfahum; wa laa yuheetoona beshai 'immin 'ilmihee illa be maa shaaaa; wasi'a kursiyyuhus samaa waati wal arda wa la ya'ooduho hifzuhumaa; wa huwal aliyyual 'azeem.

Translation:

Allah! There is no god but He - the Living, The Self-subsisting, Eternal. No slumber can seize Him Nor Sleep. His are all things In the heavens and on earth. Who is there can intercede In His presence except As he permits? He has the knowledge of What (appears to His creatures As) Before or After or Behind them. Nor shall they compass Aught of his knowledge Except as He wills. His throne extends Over the heavens And on earth, and He flees No fatigue in guarding And preserving them, For He is the Most High. The Supreme (in glory)

Significance:

Holy Quran 2: 255 (Cite/ Resource)

This Dua is also called "Ayat-al Kursi" (Verse of the Throne) and is the 255th verse in the 2nd chapter of the Holy Quran, Surah (Chapter) Al-Baqarah (the Cow). It said to be (worth) a fourth of the Quran (because of its significance) and is the loftiest ayat (verse) in the Quran.

It is said that whoever reads this Dua in the Morning (after waking up) will be protected from the evil of Jinnats (evil people, jin's, satans.)

Also, there is a specific story about Ayat-al Kursi (Verse of the Throne) and it is narrated by Abu-Hurairah (a companion of the prophet) and has many different interpretations. To sum, it talks about him seeing a man (either he was in a strange animal-like form or he was stealing) and Abu-Hurairah says to the man "I'm taking you to the Prophet" the man then in-turn says, "Don't take me to him and I will tell you a few words that will benefit you. Read Ayat-al Kursi before you sleep and Allah will protect to you from Satan until dawn." Abu-Hurairah let him go and when he told the Prophet of the interaction, the Prophet commented, "Although he told you the truth, he is a liar (either from stealing or from the fact that he was satan); and it was Satan."
