Fever is one of the most common forms of physical suffering. It weakens the body, causes discomfort, and often leaves a person helpless. In Islam, illness is considered a test from Allah, and during such times, a Muslim is encouraged to turn toward Allah with full trust and sincerity.
Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua refers to the Islamic supplications recited during fever to seek relief and healing from Allah. These duas are taken from authentic Hadith and the Quran, and they were taught and practiced by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ himself.
Islam does not separate the physical from the spiritual. Seeking medical treatment and making dua together is the complete Islamic approach to illness. The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Make use of medical treatment, for Allah has not made a disease without appointing a remedy for it.”
So alongside medicine, reciting Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua is a powerful act of worship and reliance on Allah.

Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua in Urdu
اردو ترجمہ:
“اللہ کے بڑے نام سے شروع کرتا ہوں، میں اللہ عظیم کی پناہ مانگتا ہوں، ہر اس رگ کی برائی سے جو تکلیف دے، اور آگ کی گرمی یعنی بخار کی برائی سے۔”
Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua in Hindi
हिंदी अर्थ:
“अल्लाह के बड़े नाम से शुरू करता हूँ, मैं अल्लाह अज़ीम की पनाह माँगता हूँ, हर उस रग की बुराई से जो तकलीफ़ दे, और आग की गर्मी यानी बुखार की बुराई से।”
Explanation of This Dua
This Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua holds deep meaning. The phrase “every throbbing vein” refers to the veins in the body that carry heat and pain during fever. The phrase “heat of the Fire” is understood by Islamic scholars to refer to the burning sensation caused by fever.
The Prophet ﷺ also made a connection between fever and fire when he said:
“Fever is from the heat of Hell, so cool it with water.”
This hadith shows that the Prophet ﷺ acknowledged the severity of fever and advised both a physical remedy (cold water) and a spiritual one (dua). Together, they represent the balanced Islamic approach to health.
When reciting this dua, it is sunnah to place the hand on the forehead or chest of the sick person and recite it three times. This act of care combined with dua is a powerful expression of mercy and faith.

Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua in Quran
There is no single verse in the Quran specifically titled as a dua for fever. However, Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua in Quran is understood through verses that speak about healing and mercy from Allah.
وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
“And We send down of the Quran that which is a healing and a mercy for the believers.”
This verse clearly establishes that the Quran itself carries healing. Reciting Quranic verses during illness is a deeply rooted Islamic practice.
Surah Al-Fatiha is known as Umm ul-Kitab (the mother of the Book) and has been referred to as a source of healing. A companion of the Prophet ﷺ once treated a man by reciting Surah Al-Fatiha over him, and the man recovered. The Prophet ﷺ confirmed this act when the companion returned.
Surah Al-Falaq and Surah An-Naas are also recited for protection against all harm, illness, and evil. The Prophet ﷺ used to recite these three Surahs every night before sleeping, blow into his hands, and wipe over his body.
Bacho Ka Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua
Children are more vulnerable to fever, and seeing a child in pain is deeply distressing for parents. Islam has given a beautiful solution through the Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.
Bacho Ka Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua that the Prophet ﷺ recited for Hasan and Husain رضی اللہ عنہما is as follows:
Arabic Text:
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّةِ، مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَهَامَّةٍ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ
Transliteration:
A’oodhu Bi Kalimaatillahit Taammaati, Min Kulli Shaytaanin Wa Haammatin, Wa Min Kulli ‘Aynin Laammatin
English Meaning:
“I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and every poisonous creature and from every evil eye.”
The Prophet ﷺ used to place his blessed hand on the child and recite this dua. Parents today can follow this Sunnah by gently placing their hand on the child’s forehead and reciting this dua with full sincerity and trust in Allah.
Jaldi Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua
When fever is intense and relief is needed quickly, Jaldi Bukhar Utarne Ki Dua from the Hadith is recited. This is the dua the Prophet ﷺ recited directly over sick companions while placing his hand on them:

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النَّاسِ، أَذْهِبِ الْبَأْسَ، وَاشْفِ أَنْتَ الشَّافِي، لَا شِفَاءَ إِلَّا شِفَاؤُكَ، شِفَاءً لَا يُغَادِرُ سَقَمًا
Transliteration:
Allahumma Rabban Naas, Adhhibil Ba’s, Washfi Antash Shaafi, La Shifaa’a Illa Shifaa’uka, Shifaa’an La Yughaadiru Saqama
