    Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. Al-Baqarah 2:255

    Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa-l-ḥayyu-l-qayyūm. Lā taʾkhudhuhu sinatun wa lā nawm. Lahu mā fi-s-samāwāti wa mā fi-l-arḍ. Man dha-lladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahu illā bi-idhnih.

    The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination." Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people." Al-Baqarah 2:285–286

The right course has become clear from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in Taghut and believes in Allah has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allah is Hearing and Knowing. Allah is the ally of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are Taghut. They take them out of the light into darknesses. Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein. Al-Baqarah 2:255–257

    To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. Whether you show what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will bring you to account for it. Then He will forgive whom He wills and punish whom He wills, and Allah is over all things competent. The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey.

Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people." Al-Baqarah 2:284–286

    Whoever recites ten verses of al-Baqarah in a house, no devil enters that house that night until morning: four from its opening, Āyat al-Kursī and the two after it, and its closing verses.

    So exalted is Allah when you reach the evening and when you reach the morning. And to Him is [due all] praise throughout the heavens and the earth. And [exalted is He] at night and when you are at noon. He brings the living out of the dead and brings the dead out of the living and brings to life the earth after its lifelessness. And thus will you be brought out. Ar-Rūm 30:17–19

    Fa-subḥāna-llāhi ḥīna tumsūna wa ḥīna tuṣbiḥūn. Wa lahu-l-ḥamdu fi-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍi wa ʿashiyyan wa ḥīna tuẓhirūn. Yukhriju-l-ḥayya mina-l-mayyiti wa yukhriju-l-mayyita mina-l-ḥayyi wa yuḥyi-l-arḍa baʿda mawtihā, wa kadhālika tukhrajūn.

    Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great. Al-Baqarah 2:255

    He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed. He is the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. He is Allah, other than whom there is no deity, the Sovereign, the Pure, the Perfection, the Bestower of Faith, the Overseer, the Exalted in Might, the Compeller, the Superior. Exalted is Allah above whatever they associate with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Inventor, the Fashioner; to Him belong the best names. Whatever is in the heavens and earth is exalting Him. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise. Al-Ḥashr 59:22–24

    Allah appoints seventy thousand angels to pray for him until evening, and if he dies that day he dies a martyr; whoever says it in the evening has the same standing.

    We have entered the evening, and all dominion has entered the evening belonging to Allah, and all praise is Allah’s. There is no god but Allah alone, without partner; His is the dominion and His the praise, and He has power over all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good that is in this night and the good of what follows it, and I take refuge in You from the evil that is in this night and the evil of what follows it. My Lord, I take refuge in You from laziness, from decrepitude and from the miseries of old age, and from the trial of this world. My Lord, I take refuge in You from a punishment in the Fire and a punishment in the grave.

    We have entered the evening upon the natural way of Islam, upon the word of sincere faith, upon the religion of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and upon the way of our father Ibrāhīm, who turned wholly to Allah in submission and was not of those who set up partners with Him.

    O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the next. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion and my worldly life, in my family and my wealth. O Allah, cover my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, guard me from in front of me and from behind me, from my right and from my left, and from above me; and I take refuge in Your greatness from being seized from beneath me.

    He ﷺ never left these supplications, morning or evening.

  15. This night is a new creation

    أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِالنَّهَارِ وَجَاءَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَنَحْنُ مِنْهُ فِي عَافِيَةٍ، اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا خَلْقٌ لَكَ جَدِيدٌ قَدْ جَاءَ، فَمَا عَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ سَيِّئَةٍ فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهَا، وَمَا عَمِلْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ فَتَقَبَّلْهَا وَأَضْعِفْهَا أَضْعَافًا مُضَاعَفَةً، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ بِجَمِيعِ حَاجَتِي عَالِمٌ، وَإِنَّكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ نَجْحِهَا قَادِرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْجِحِ اللَّيْلَةَ كُلَّ حَاجَةٍ لِي، وَلَا تَزِدْنِي فِي دُنْيَايَ، وَلَا تَنْقُصْنِي فِي آخِرَتِي

    We have entered the evening, and all dominion belongs to Allah, the One, the All-Compelling. Praise be to Allah, who has taken the day away and brought the night while we are in well-being from Him. O Allah, this is a new creation of Yours that has come: whatever wrong I do in it, pass over it; whatever good I do in it, accept it and multiply it many times over. O Allah, You know every need I have, and You are able to fulfil every one of them: O Allah, fulfil every need of mine tonight. Do not give me more of this world, and do not give me less of the next.

    He ﷺ said this in the evening, and in the morning said the same.

    O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I hold to Your covenant and Your promise as far as I am able. I take refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge before You Your favour upon me, and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me — for none forgives sins but You.

    Whoever says it in the day with certainty in it and dies that day before evening is among the people of the Garden; and whoever says it at night with certainty in it and dies before morning is among them too.

    Whoever says it three times in the morning and the evening, it is a right upon Allah to please him on the Day of Rising. And of the one who says it in the morning, he ﷺ said: “I am his guarantor: I will take him by the hand until I bring him into the Garden.”

    Whoever sends blessings on me ten times when he enters the morning and ten when he enters the evening will be reached by my intercession on the Day of Rising.

  39. Save me from the Fire

    ×7

    اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ

    Allāhumma ajirnī mina-n-nār.

    O Allah, save me from the Fire.

    Say it seven times after Maghrib: if you die that night, a protection from the Fire is written for you.

    Straight after the Maghrib prayer.
