IslamQA: Is reciting the 3 quls and making dua obligatory before sleep?

Selam new Muslim, So I like to say 3 ajets before sleep Kul huveallahu ehad, Kull euzu bi rabbi and kul euzu rabbi n nas. So I like to use English version of it because I understand it and can better relate to it. So some one was telling me that it has to be in Arabic and I got to blow/whisper in my hands? But I don't have it memorized so I use copy that I hold in my hand. So was I wrong what I was doing can I do it in English and is this is mandatory to do before sleep? thank you

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

Welcome to Islam and may God make things easy for you. None of that is obligatory. You can read the Arabic transliteration followed by the English instead of saying it from memory, as this is allowed.

And God knows best.

Thanks for your answer, but I have only English translation of Quran, not transliteration. Is it OK to use only English language one?

Selam thanks for your answer. But I have only English version of Quran and not transliteration. So can I just use it that way just in English. God should hear us in any language I think.

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

If you want to perform the sunna deed then scholars would say it has to be in Arabic. But you can say it in English and God will surely accept your good intention and reward you for it inshaAllah. It will just technically not be the exact same sunna good deed.
