In another Hadith (Sunan Abi Dawud 5079), the Messenger of Allah(saw) said;

‘’When you finish the sunset prayer, say: 'O Allah, protect me from Hell" seven times; for if you say that and die that night, protection from it would be recorded for you; and when you finish the dawn prayer, say it in a similar way, for if you die that day, protection from it would be recorded for you.’’

The word ‘Ajirni’ means ‘save me’ and Ajirna meaning is ‘save us’. So, the meaning of Allah Huma Ajirni Minnaar is ‘O Allah save me from hellfire’, and the meaning of ‘Allahumma Ajirna Minan Naar’ is ‘O Allah save us from hellfire’.

Saves From Hellfire

“Your (ordinary) fire is one of 70 parts of the (Hell) Fire.” Someone asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (saw) This (ordinary) fire would have been sufficient (to torture the unbelievers),” Allah’s Apostle said, “The (Hell) Fire has 69 parts more than the ordinary (worldly) fire, each part is as hot as this (worldly) fire.

Connects to Allah

Obeying Sunnah

Reciting Allahumma Ajirni full dua after the Fajr and the Isha prayer is the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet (SAW), and whoever follows Sunnah enters paradise. The Prophet (saw) says in Hadith Jamia at Timizi 2678;

“Whoever revives my Sunnah then he has loved me. And whoever loved me, he shall be with me in Paradise.”

Source of Relief

Muslims believe that the concept of rewards and punishment is valid. Being human, Muslims indulge in committing sins. The imagination of severe punishment for sins burdens them with grieves. However, reading this dua relieves the grievances as it promises protection from fire.
