أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ

Aṣbaḥnā wa aṣbaḥa-l-mulku lillāh, wa-l-ḥamdu lillāh, lā ilāha illa-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr. Allāhumma asʾaluka khayra hādha-l-yawmi wa aʿūdhu bika min sharri hādha-l-yawmi wa sharri mā baʿdah. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-kasali wa sūʾi-l-kibar. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābin fi-n-nāri wa ʿadhābin fi-l-qabr.

We have entered the morning and the dominion belongs to Allah, and praise belongs to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this day, and I take refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil of what follows it. O Allah, I take refuge in You from idleness and the misery of old age. O Allah, I take refuge in You from a punishment in the Fire and a punishment in the grave.

اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا وَبِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا وَبِكَ نَحْيَا وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ

Allāhumma bika aṣbaḥnā, wa bika amsaynā, wa bika naḥyā, wa bika namūtu, wa ilayka-n-nushūr

O Allah, by You we enter the morning and by You we enter the evening, by You we live and by You we die, and to You is the resurrection.

اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ

Allāhumma mā aṣbaḥa bī min niʿmatin fa-minka waḥdaka lā sharīka lak, fa-laka-l-ḥamdu wa laka-sh-shukr.

O Allah, whatever blessing has come to me this morning is from You alone, with no partner; so Yours is the praise and Yours is the thanks.

Whoever says it in the morning has fulfilled the thanks due for his day; whoever says it in the evening has fulfilled the thanks due for his night.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ أُشْهِدُكَ وَأُشْهِدُ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَمَلاَئِكَتَكَ وَجَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَأَنَّ سَيِّدَنَا مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ

Allāhumma innī aṣbaḥtu ush-hiduka wa ush-hidu ḥamalata ʿarshika wa malāʾikataka wa jamīʿa khalqik, annaka anta-llāhu lā ilāha illā ant, wa anna sayyidanā Muḥammadan ʿabduka wa rasūluk.

O Allah, I have entered the morning calling You to witness, and calling to witness the bearers of Your Throne, Your angels and all Your creation, that You are Allah — there is no god but You — and that Sayyidinā Muhammad is Your servant and Your Messenger.

Said once, Allah frees a quarter of him from the Fire; twice, a half; three times, three quarters; and if he says it four times, Allah frees him from the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Allāhumma anta rabbī, lā ilāha illā ant, khalaqtanī wa anā ʿabduk, wa anā ʿalā ʿahdika wa waʿdika ma-staṭaʿt. Aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿt, abūʾu laka bi-niʿmatika ʿalayya wa abūʾu laka bi-dhanbī, fa-ghfir lī, fa-innahu lā yaghfiru-dh-dhunūba illā ant.

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 to You Your favour upon me and I acknowledge to You my sin, so forgive me — for none forgives sins but You.

Whoever says it during 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.

رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا وَبِسَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا

Raḍītu bi-llāhi rabban, wa bi-l-islāmi dīnan, wa bi-sayyidinā Muḥammadin nabiyyan.

I am content with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Sayyidinā Muhammad as Prophet.

Whoever says it in the morning and the evening, it becomes a promise from Allah to please him on the Day of Rising.

اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī badanī, Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī samʿī, Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī baṣarī, lā ilāha illā ant.

O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god but You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-kufri wa-l-faqr, Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi-l-qabr, lā ilāha illā ant.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I take refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is no god but You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ، وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي. اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِي، وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي. اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-ʿāfiyata fi-d-dunyā wa-l-ākhirah. Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-ʿafwa wa-l-ʿāfiyata fī dīnī wa dunyāya wa ahlī wa mālī. Allāhumma-stur ʿawrātī wa āmin rawʿātī. Allāhumma-ḥfaẓnī min bayni yadayya wa min khalfī, wa ʿan yamīnī wa ʿan shimālī, wa min fawqī, wa aʿūdhu bi-ʿaẓamatika an ughtāla min taḥtī.

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, my worldly affairs, my family and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, guard me from in front of me and behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me; and I take refuge in Your greatness from being taken unawares from beneath me.

حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

Ḥasbiya-llāhu lā ilāha illā huwa, ʿalayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa rabbu-l-ʿarshi-l-ʿaẓīm

Allah is enough for me; there is no god but He. In Him I place my trust, and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne.

Whoever says it seven times when he enters the morning and the evening, Allah suffices him in whatever concerns him.

These are the words of Abū ad-Dardāʾ رضي الله عنه, kept by the tradition among the adhkār of the morning.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَىْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Bismi-llāhi-lladhī lā yaḍurru maʿa-smihi shay'un fi-l-arḍi wa lā fi-s-samā'i wa huwa-s-samīʿu-l-ʿalīm

In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

Whoever says it three times in the morning and three times in the evening, nothing will harm him.

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

Aʿūdhu bi-kalimāti-llāhi-t-tāmmāti min sharri mā khalaq

I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.

A man complained of a scorpion that had stung him in the night. He said: had you said this when you entered the evening, it would not have harmed you.

اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ

Allāhumma ajirnī mina-n-nār.

O Allah, save me from the Fire.

Whoever says it after Maghrib seven times and dies that night is written as saved from the Fire; and the same after Fajr for the day.

اللَّهُمَّ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ

Allāhumma ʿālima-l-ghaybi wa-sh-shahādah, fāṭira-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍ, rabba kulli shayʾin wa malīkah, ash-hadu an lā ilāha illā ant. Aʿūdhu bika min sharri nafsī, wa min sharri-sh-shayṭāni wa shirkih, wa an aqtarifa ʿalā nafsī sūʾan aw ajurrahu ilā muslim.

O Allah, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Lord of everything and its Sovereign — I bear witness that there is no god but You. I take refuge in You from the evil of my own self, and from the evil of Satan and his incitement to associate others with You, and from bringing evil upon myself or drawing it upon a Muslim.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ʿamiltu wa min sharri mā lam aʿmal.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from the evil of what I have done, and from the evil of what I have not done.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَالْقِلَّةِ وَالذِّلَّةِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-faqri wa-l-qillati wa-dh-dhillah, wa aʿūdhu bika min an aẓlima aw uẓlam.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from poverty, from want and from humiliation; and I take refuge in You from wronging or being wronged.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ سَمْعِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ بَصَرِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ لِسَانِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ قَلْبِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَنِيِّي

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min sharri samʿī, wa min sharri baṣarī, wa min sharri lisānī, wa min sharri qalbī, wa min sharri maniyyī.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from the evil of my hearing, from the evil of my sight, from the evil of my tongue, from the evil of my heart, and from the evil of my desire.

أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ: فَتْحَهُ، وَنَصْرَهُ، وَنُورَهُ، وَبَرَكَتَهُ، وَهُدَاهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ

Aṣbaḥnā wa aṣbaḥa-l-mulku lillāhi rabbi-l-ʿālamīn. Allāhumma innī asʾaluka khayra hādha-l-yawm: fatḥahu wa naṣrahu wa nūrahu wa barakatahu wa hudāh, wa aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā fīhi wa sharri mā baʿdah.

We have entered the morning, and the dominion of the morning belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this day — its opening, its help, its light, its blessing and its guidance — and I take refuge in You from the evil in it and the evil of what comes after it.

Asks for the day itself rather than for protection from it — the five things a day is asked to be filled with.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا، وَرِزْقًا طَيِّبًا، وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً

Allāhumma innī as'aluka ʿilman nāfiʿan, wa rizqan ṭayyiban, wa ʿamalan mutaqabbalan

O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that benefits, provision that is wholesome, and a deed that is accepted.

Said after the Fajr prayer.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

Subḥāna-llāhi wa bi-ḥamdih

Glory be to Allah, and His is the praise.

Whoever says it a hundred times in a day has his sins forgiven, though they were like the foam of the sea.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

Subḥāna-llāhi wa bi-ḥamdih, ʿadada khalqih, wa riḍā nafsih, wa zinata ʿarshih, wa midāda kalimātih

Glory be to Allah and His is the praise — as many as His creation, as pleases Him, as the weight of His Throne, and as the ink of His words.

These words outweigh all the dhikr said since the morning.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهْوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu wa huwa ʿalā kulli shay'in qadīr

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things.

Whoever says it a hundred times in a day has the reward of freeing ten slaves, a hundred good deeds written for him and a hundred bad deeds erased, and it is a shelter from Satan for that day.

Both counts are transmitted for these words. A hundred is the reward above; ten times carries the reward of freeing four souls from the children of Ismāʿīl. Choose either.

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

Astaghfiru-llāha wa atūbu ilayh

I seek the forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance.

The Prophet ﷺ said: I ask Allah for forgiveness and turn to Him a hundred times a day.

يَا رَبِّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ وَلِعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ

Yā rabbi laka-l-ḥamdu kamā yanbaghī li-jalāli wajhika wa li-ʿaẓīmi sulṭānik

My Lord, Yours is the praise as befits the majesty of Your face and the greatness of Your sovereignty.

A servant said it, and the two angels did not know how to write it down; so they carried it up, and it was written as the servant said it.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَبَارِكْ وَسَلِّمْ

Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā sayyidinā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa bārik wa sallim.

O Allah, send blessings upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and his companions, and bless them and grant them peace.

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.

أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَسُوءِ الْكِبَرِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِي النَّارِ وَعَذَابٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ

Amsaynā wa amsa-l-mulku lillāh, wa-l-ḥamdu lillāh, lā ilāha illa-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr. Allāhumma asʾaluka khayra hādhihi-l-laylati wa aʿūdhu bika min sharri hādhihi-l-laylati wa sharri mā baʿdahā. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-kasali wa sūʾi-l-kibar. Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābin fi-n-nāri wa ʿadhābin fi-l-qabr.

We have entered the evening and the dominion belongs to Allah, and praise belongs to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this night, and I take refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows it. O Allah, I take refuge in You from idleness and the misery of old age. O Allah, I take refuge in You from a punishment in the Fire and a punishment in the grave.

اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا وَبِكَ نَحْيَا وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ وَإِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ

Allāhumma bika amsaynā, wa bika naḥyā, wa bika namūtu, wa ilayka-n-nushūr.

O Allah, by You we enter the evening, by You we live and by You we die, and to You is the resurrection.

اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَمْسَى بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ

Allāhumma mā amsā bī min niʿmatin fa-minka waḥdaka lā sharīka lak, fa-laka-l-ḥamdu wa laka-sh-shukr.

O Allah, whatever blessing has come to me this evening is from You alone, with no partner; so Yours is the praise and Yours is the thanks.

Whoever says it in the evening has fulfilled the thanks due for his night.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ أُشْهِدُكَ وَأُشْهِدُ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَمَلاَئِكَتَكَ وَجَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَأَنَّ سَيِّدَنَا مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ

Allāhumma innī amsaytu ush-hiduka wa ush-hidu ḥamalata ʿarshika wa malāʾikataka wa jamīʿa khalqik, annaka anta-llāhu lā ilāha illā ant, wa anna sayyidanā Muḥammadan ʿabduka wa rasūluk.

O Allah, I have entered the evening calling You to witness, and calling to witness the bearers of Your Throne, Your angels and all Your creation, that You are Allah — there is no god but You — and that Sayyidinā Muhammad is Your servant and Your Messenger.

Said four times, Allah frees him from the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَىَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Allāhumma anta rabbī, lā ilāha illā ant, khalaqtanī wa anā ʿabduk, wa anā ʿalā ʿahdika wa waʿdika ma-staṭaʿt. Aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ṣanaʿt, abūʾu laka bi-niʿmatika ʿalayya wa abūʾu laka bi-dhanbī, fa-ghfir lī, fa-innahu lā yaghfiru-dh-dhunūba illā ant.

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 to You Your favour upon me and I acknowledge to You my sin, so forgive me — for none forgives sins but You.

Whoever says it at night with certainty in it and dies before morning is among the people of the Garden.

رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالإِسْلاَمِ دِينًا وَبِسَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا

Raḍītu bi-llāhi rabban, wa bi-l-islāmi dīnan, wa bi-sayyidinā Muḥammadin nabiyyan.

I am content with Allah as Lord, with Islam as religion, and with Sayyidinā Muhammad as Prophet.

It becomes a promise from Allah to please him on the Day of Rising.

اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī badanī, Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī samʿī, Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī baṣarī, lā ilāha illā ant.

O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god but You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-kufri wa-l-faqr, Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi-l-qabr, lā ilāha illā ant.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I take refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is no god but You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ، وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي. اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَاتِي، وَآمِنْ رَوْعَاتِي. اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَمِنْ خَلْفِي، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي وَعَنْ شِمَالِي، وَمِنْ فَوْقِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَتِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-ʿāfiyata fi-d-dunyā wa-l-ākhirah. Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-ʿafwa wa-l-ʿāfiyata fī dīnī wa dunyāya wa ahlī wa mālī. Allāhumma-stur ʿawrātī wa āmin rawʿātī.

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, my worldly affairs, my family and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, guard me from in front of me and behind me, from my right and my left, and from above me; and I take refuge in Your greatness from being taken unawares from beneath me.

حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

Ḥasbiya-llāhu lā ilāha illā huwa, ʿalayhi tawakkaltu wa huwa rabbu-l-ʿarshi-l-ʿaẓīm

Allah is enough for me; there is no god but He. In Him I place my trust, and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَىْءٌ فِي الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

Bismi-llāhi-lladhī lā yaḍurru maʿa-smihi shay'un fi-l-arḍi wa lā fi-s-samā'i wa huwa-s-samīʿu-l-ʿalīm

In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.

أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ

Aʿūdhu bi-kalimāti-llāhi-t-tāmmāti min sharri mā khalaq

I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.

Had you said this when you entered the evening, it would not have harmed you.

اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ

Allāhumma ajirnī mina-n-nār.

O Allah, save me from the Fire.

Said after the Maghrib prayer.

اللَّهُمَّ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي، وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ

Allāhumma ʿālima-l-ghaybi wa-sh-shahādah, fāṭira-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍ, rabba kulli shayʾin wa malīkah, ash-hadu an lā ilāha illā ant. Aʿūdhu bika min sharri nafsī, wa min sharri-sh-shayṭāni wa shirkih.

O Allah, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Lord of everything and its Sovereign — I bear witness that there is no god but You. I take refuge in You from the evil of my own self, and from the evil of Satan and his incitement to associate others with You.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَمِلْتُ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْمَلْ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ʿamiltu wa min sharri mā lam aʿmal.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from the evil of what I have done, and from the evil of what I have not done.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَالْقِلَّةِ وَالذِّلَّةِ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَظْلِمَ أَوْ أُظْلَمَ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-faqri wa-l-qillati wa-dh-dhillah, wa aʿūdhu bika min an aẓlima aw uẓlam.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from poverty, from want and from humiliation; and I take refuge in You from wronging or being wronged.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ سَمْعِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ بَصَرِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ لِسَانِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ قَلْبِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَنِيِّي

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min sharri samʿī, wa min sharri baṣarī, wa min sharri lisānī, wa min sharri qalbī, wa min sharri maniyyī.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from the evil of my hearing, from the evil of my sight, from the evil of my tongue, from the evil of my heart, and from the evil of my desire.

أَمْسَيْنَا وَأَمْسَى الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ: فَتْحَهَا، وَنَصْرَهَا، وَنُورَهَا، وَبَرَكَتَهَا، وَهُدَاهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهَا

Amsaynā wa amsa-l-mulku lillāhi rabbi-l-ʿālamīn. Allāhumma innī asʾaluka khayra hādhihi-l-layla: fatḥahā wa naṣrahā wa nūrahā wa barakatahā wa hudāhā, wa aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā fīhā wa sharri mā baʿdahā.

We have entered the evening, and the dominion of the evening belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this night — its opening, its help, its light, its blessing and its guidance — and I take refuge in You from the evil in it and the evil of what comes after it.

The hadith gives the wording for the morning and then says: “and when evening comes, let him say the like of that.” This is that, put into the evening.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

Subḥāna-llāhi wa bi-ḥamdih

Glory be to Allah, and His is the praise.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَرِضَا نَفْسِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ

Subḥāna-llāhi wa bi-ḥamdih, ʿadada khalqih, wa riḍā nafsih, wa zinata ʿarshih, wa midāda kalimātih

Glory be to Allah and His is the praise — as many as His creation, as pleases Him, as the weight of His Throne, and as the ink of His words.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهْوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu wa huwa ʿalā kulli shay'in qadīr

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things.

Both counts are transmitted for these words. A hundred is the reward above; ten times carries the reward of freeing four souls from the children of Ismāʿīl. Choose either.

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

Astaghfiru-llāha wa atūbu ilayh

I seek the forgiveness of Allah and turn to Him in repentance.

يَا رَبِّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ وَلِعَظِيمِ سُلْطَانِكَ

Yā rabbi laka-l-ḥamdu kamā yanbaghī li-jalāli wajhika wa li-ʿaẓīmi sulṭānik

My Lord, Yours is the praise as befits the majesty of Your face and the greatness of Your sovereignty.

A servant said it, and the two angels did not know how to write it down; so they carried it up, and it was written as the servant said it.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَبَارِكْ وَسَلِّمْ

Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā sayyidinā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa bārik wa sallim.

O Allah, send blessings upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and his companions, and bless them and grant them peace.

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.

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ

Astaghfiru-llāh

I seek the forgiveness of Allah.

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلاَمُ وَمِنْكَ السَّلاَمُ تَبَارَكْتَ ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ

Allāhumma anta-s-salāmu wa minka-s-salām, tabārakta dha-l-jalāli wa-l-ikrām.

O Allah, You are Peace and from You is peace. Blessed are You, Possessor of Majesty and Honour.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهْوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، اللَّهُمَّ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ

Lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr. Allāhumma lā māniʿa limā aʿṭayt, wa lā muʿṭiya limā manaʿt, wa lā yanfaʿu dha-l-jaddi minka-l-jadd.

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. O Allah, none can withhold what You give and none can give what You withhold, and no fortune avails its owner against You.

اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ

Allāhumma aʿinnī ʿalā dhikrika wa shukrika wa ḥusni ʿibādatik

O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You well.

The Prophet ﷺ told Muʿādh: do not leave this at the end of every prayer.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-kufri wa-l-faqri wa ʿadhābi-l-qabr.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from disbelief, from poverty, and from the punishment of the grave.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ

Subḥāna-llāh

Glory be to Allah.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

Al-ḥamdu lillāh

All praise belongs to Allah.

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

Allāhu akbar

Allah is greater.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu wa huwa ʿalā kulli shay'in qadīr

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things.

Whoever says this after every prayer has his sins forgiven, though they were like the foam of the sea.

اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ

Allāhumma ajirnī mina-n-nār.

O Allah, save me from the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ، اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّنِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْ خَطَايَاىَ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ

Allāhumma bāʿid baynī wa bayna khaṭāyāya kamā bāʿadta bayna-l-mashriqi wa-l-maghrib. Allāhumma naqqinī mina-l-khaṭāyā kamā yunaqqa-th-thawbu-l-abyaḍu mina-d-danas. Allāhumma-ghsil khaṭāyāya bi-l-māʾi wa-th-thalji wa-l-barad.

O Allah, put distance between me and my sins as You have put distance between the east and the west. O Allah, cleanse me of my sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt. O Allah, wash away my sins with water, snow and hail.

Said quietly after the opening takbīr, before the Fātiḥah.

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ

Subḥāna rabbiya-l-ʿaẓīm.

Glory be to my Lord, the Magnificent.

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى

Subḥāna rabbiya-l-aʿlā.

Glory be to my Lord, the Most High.

سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ، رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ

Samiʿa-llāhu li-man ḥamidah. Rabbanā wa laka-l-ḥamd.

Allah hears whoever praises Him. Our Lord, and to You belongs the praise.

The imām says samiʿa-llāhu li-man ḥamidah; those behind him say rabbanā wa laka-l-ḥamd.

التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِينَ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

At-taḥiyyātu li-llāhi wa-ṣ-ṣalawātu wa-ṭ-ṭayyibāt. As-salāmu ʿalayka ayyuha-n-nabiyyu wa raḥmatu-llāhi wa barakātuh. As-salāmu ʿalaynā wa ʿalā ʿibādi-llāhi-ṣ-ṣāliḥīn. Ash-hadu an lā ilāha illa-llāh, wa ash-hadu anna Muḥammadan ʿabduhu wa rasūluh.

All greetings, prayers and good things belong to Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muḥammad is His servant and His Messenger.

Said sitting, in every sitting of the prayer. The Companions learned it as they learned a sūrah of the Qurʾan.

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي، رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي

Rabbi-ghfir lī, rabbi-ghfir lī.

My Lord, forgive me. My Lord, forgive me.

Said in the sitting between the two prostrations, which he ﷺ made about as long as the prostration itself.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi-l-qabr, wa min ʿadhābi-n-nār, wa min fitnati-l-maḥyā wa-l-mamāt, wa min fitnati-l-masīḥi-d-dajjāl.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, from the punishment of the Fire, from the trial of life and of death, and from the trial of the False Messiah.

He would seek refuge from these four before giving the salām.

سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ بِحَوْلِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ

Sajada wajhī li-lladhī khalaqahu wa shaqqa samʿahu wa baṣarahu bi-ḥawlihi wa quwwatih.

My face has prostrated to the One who created it and gave it its hearing and its sight, by His power and His strength.

Said in the prostration made on reaching an ayah of prostration, whether in the prayer or outside it.

اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَعَافِنِي فِيمَنْ عَافَيْتَ وَتَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَقِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَلاَ يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ وَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَذِلُّ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ وَلاَ يَعِزُّ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَتَعَالَيْتَ

Allāhumma-hdinī fī-man hadayt, wa ʿāfinī fī-man ʿāfayt, wa tawallanī fī-man tawallayt, wa bārik lī fī-mā aʿṭayt, wa qinī sharra mā qaḍayt. Innaka taqḍī wa lā yuqḍā ʿalayk, wa innahu lā yadhillu man wālayt, wa lā yaʿizzu man ʿādayt. Tabārakta rabbanā wa taʿālayt.

O Allah, guide me among those You have guided, grant me well-being among those You have granted well-being, take me into Your care among those You have taken into Your care, bless me in what You have given, and protect me from the evil of what You have decreed. For You decree and none decrees against You; and none is abased whom You befriend, and none is honoured whom You oppose. Blessed are You, our Lord, and exalted.

سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ

Subḥāna-l-maliki-l-quddūs.

Glory be to the King, the Most Holy.

Said three times when the witr is finished, drawing out the third.

بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا

Bismika-llāhumma amūtu wa aḥyā

In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live.

اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لاَ مَلْجَأَ وَلاَ مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ

Allāhumma aslamtu nafsī ilayk, wa fawwaḍtu amrī ilayk, wa wajjahtu wajhī ilayk, wa aljaʾtu ẓahrī ilayk, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilayk, lā maljaʾa wa lā manjā minka illā ilayk. Āmantu bi-kitābika-lladhī anzalt, wa bi-nabiyyika-lladhī arsalt.

O Allah, I surrender myself to You, I entrust my affair to You, I turn my face to You, and I place my back under Your protection — out of hope in You and fear of You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You sent down, and in Your Prophet whom You sent.

If you die that night you die upon the fiṭrah; and make them the last words you say.

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبِّي بِكَ وَضَعْتُ جَنْبِي وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُهُ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتَ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لَهَا وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَاحْفَظْهَا بِمَا تَحْفَظُ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ الصَّالِحِينَ

Subḥānaka-llāhumma rabbī, bika waḍaʿtu janbī wa bika arfaʿuh. In amsakta nafsī fa-ghfir lahā, wa in arsaltahā fa-ḥfaẓhā bi-mā taḥfaẓu bihi ʿibādaka-ṣ-ṣāliḥīn.

Glory be to You, O Allah, my Lord. By You I lay my side down and by You I raise it. If You take my soul, forgive it; and if You send it back, protect it with that by which You protect Your righteous servants.

اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ

Allāhumma qinī ʿadhābaka yawma tabʿathu ʿibādak

O Allah, guard me from Your punishment on the Day You raise Your servants.

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الأَرْضِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَىْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَىْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَىْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَىْءٌ اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ

Allāhumma rabba-s-samāwāti wa rabba-l-arḍi wa rabba-l-ʿarshi-l-ʿaẓīm, rabbanā wa rabba kulli shayʾ, fāliqa-l-ḥabbi wa-n-nawā, wa munzila-t-tawrāti wa-l-injīli wa-l-furqān. Aʿūdhu bika min sharri kulli shayʾin anta ākhidhun bi-nāṣiyatih. Allāhumma anta-l-awwalu fa-laysa qablaka shayʾ, wa anta-l-ākhiru fa-laysa baʿdaka shayʾ, wa anta-ẓ-ẓāhiru fa-laysa fawqaka shayʾ, wa anta-l-bāṭinu fa-laysa dūnaka shayʾ. Iqḍi ʿanna-d-dayna wa aghninā mina-l-faqr.

O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth and Lord of the mighty Throne, our Lord and the Lord of everything, Splitter of the grain and the date-stone, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel and the Criterion — I take refuge in You from the evil of every thing whose forelock You hold. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You; and You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; and You are the Manifest, so there is nothing above You; and You are the Hidden, so there is nothing beyond You. Settle our debt for us and enrich us out of poverty.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنَا وَسَقَانَا وَكَفَانَا وَآوَانَا فَكَمْ مِمَّنْ لاَ كَافِيَ لَهُ

Al-ḥamdu lillāhi-lladhī aṭʿamanā wa saqānā wa kafānā wa āwānā, fa-kam mimman lā kāfiya lah.

Praise belongs to Allah, who fed us and gave us drink, who sufficed us and gave us shelter — for how many are there who have none to suffice them.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ

Subḥāna-llāh

Glory be to Allah.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

Al-ḥamdu lillāh

All praise belongs to Allah.

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

Allāhu akbar

Allah is greater.

It is better for the two of you than a servant.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

Al-ḥamdu lillāhi-lladhī aḥyānā baʿda mā amātanā wa ilayhi-n-nushūr

All praise belongs to Allah, who gave us life after He caused us to die, and to Him is the resurrection.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي فِي جَسَدِي وَرَدَّ عَلَىَّ رُوحِي وَأَذِنَ لِي بِذِكْرِهِ

Al-ḥamdu lillāhi-lladhī ʿāfānī fī jasadī, wa radda ʿalayya rūḥī, wa adhina lī bi-dhikrih

All praise belongs to Allah, who restored my body to health, returned my soul to me, and permitted me to remember Him.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ. الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

Lā ilāha illa-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lah, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu wa huwa ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr. Al-ḥamdu lillāh, wa subḥāna-llāh, wa lā ilāha illa-llāh, wa-llāhu akbar, wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāh.

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner; His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. Praise belongs to Allah; glory be to Allah; there is no god but Allah; Allah is greatest; and there is no might and no power except by Allah.

Whoever wakes in the night and says this, then says "O Allah, forgive me" or makes a supplication, it is answered; and if he performs wuḍūʾ and prays, his prayer is accepted.

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ سَيِّدِنَا جِبْرَائِيلَ وَسَيِّدِنَا مِيكَائِيلَ وَسَيِّدِنَا إِسْرَافِيلَ فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ

Allāhumma rabba sayyidinā Jibrāʾīla wa sayyidinā Mīkāʾīla wa sayyidinā Isrāfīl, fāṭira-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍ, ʿālima-l-ghaybi wa-sh-shahādah, anta taḥkumu bayna ʿibādika fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn. Ihdinī li-mā-khtulifa fīhi mina-l-ḥaqqi bi-idhnik, innaka tahdī man tashāʾu ilā ṣirāṭin mustaqīm.

O Allah, Lord of Sayyidinā Jibrīl, Sayyidinā Mīkā'īl and Sayyidinā Isrāfīl, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen — You judge between Your servants concerning that in which they differed. Guide me, by Your leave, to the truth in what is disputed. You guide whom You will to a straight path.

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، لَكَ مُلْكُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ، وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ، وَقَوْلُكَ حَقٌّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، وَسَيِّدُنَا مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَقٌّ، وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ

Allāhumma laka-l-ḥamdu anta qayyimu-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍi wa man fīhinna wa laka-l-ḥamd. Laka mulku-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍi wa man fīhinn. Wa laka-l-ḥamdu anta nūru-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍ. Wa laka-l-ḥamdu anta-l-ḥaqq, wa waʿduka-l-ḥaqq, wa liqāʾuka ḥaqq, wa qawluka ḥaqq, wa-l-jannatu ḥaqq, wa-n-nāru ḥaqq, wa-n-nabiyyūna ḥaqq, wa sayyidunā Muḥammadun ﷺ ḥaqq, wa-s-sāʿatu ḥaqq.

O Allah, Yours is the praise: You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and all who are in them, and Yours is the praise. Yours is the dominion of the heavens and the earth and all who are in them. Yours is the praise: You are the Light of the heavens and the earth. Yours is the praise: You are the Truth, and Your promise is true, and the meeting with You is true, and Your word is true, and the Garden is true, and the Fire is true, and the prophets are true, and Sayyidinā Muhammad ﷺ is true, and the Hour is true.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ

Subḥāna-llāhi wa bi-ḥamdih, subḥāna-llāhi-l-ʿaẓīm

Glory be to Allah and His is the praise; glory be to Allah the Almighty.

Two words light on the tongue, heavy on the scale, beloved to the Most Merciful.

لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ

Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi-llāh

There is no power and no strength except with Allah.

It is a treasure from the treasures of the Garden.

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

Subḥāna-llāhi wa-l-ḥamdu lillāhi wa lā ilāha illa-llāhu wa-llāhu akbar.

Glory be to Allah; praise belongs to Allah; there is no god but Allah; and Allah is greatest.

They are dearer to me than everything the sun has risen upon.

رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَتُبْ عَلَىَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ

Rabbi-ghfir lī wa tub ʿalayya, innaka anta-t-tawwābu-r-raḥīm.

My Lord, forgive me and turn to me in mercy; You are the Ever-Relenting, the Most Merciful.

They would count a hundred of these in one sitting of the Prophet ﷺ.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ عَاجِلِهِ وَآجِلِهِ، مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَمَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَأَلَكَ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا عَاذَ بِهِ عَبْدُكَ وَنَبِيُّكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَا قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا مِنْ قَوْلٍ أَوْ عَمَلٍ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ كُلَّ قَضَاءٍ قَضَيْتَهُ لِي خَيْرًا

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka mina-l-khayri kullihi, ʿājilihi wa ājilih, mā ʿalimtu minhu wa mā lam aʿlam. Wa aʿūdhu bika mina-sh-sharri kullihi, ʿājilihi wa ājilih, mā ʿalimtu minhu wa mā lam aʿlam. Allāhumma innī asʾaluka min khayri mā saʾalaka ʿabduka wa nabiyyuk, wa aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā ʿādha bihi ʿabduka wa nabiyyuk. Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-jannata wa mā qarraba ilayhā min qawlin aw ʿamal, wa aʿūdhu bika mina-n-nāri wa mā qarraba ilayhā min qawlin aw ʿamal, wa asʾaluka an tajʿala kulla qaḍāʾin qaḍaytahu lī khayrā.

O Allah, I ask You for all of the good, its soon and its late, what I know of it and what I do not; and I take refuge in You from all of the evil, its soon and its late, what I know of it and what I do not. O Allah, I ask You for the best of what Your servant and Your prophet asked You for, and I take refuge in You from the evil he took refuge from. O Allah, I ask You for the Garden and every word and deed that brings me nearer to it, and I take refuge in You from the Fire and every word and deed that brings me nearer to it; and I ask You to make every decree You decree for me a good one.

He ﷺ taught this one to Sayyidatunā ʿĀʾishah رضي الله عنها — it asks for everything a person could not think to name.

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

Astaghfiru-llāha-lladhī lā ilāha illā huwa-l-ḥayyu-l-qayyūmu wa atūbu ilayh

I ask forgiveness of Allah, beside whom there is no god, the Living, the Sustainer, and I turn to Him.

Whoever says it is forgiven, even if he had fled from the battle line.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَالتُّقَى وَالْعَفَافَ وَالْغِنَى

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-hudā wa-t-tuqā wa-l-ʿafāfa wa-l-ghinā.

O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity and sufficiency.

اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَاىَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ

Allāhumma aṣliḥ lī dīniya-lladhī huwa ʿiṣmatu amrī, wa aṣliḥ lī dunyāya-llatī fīhā maʿāshī, wa aṣliḥ lī ākhiratī-llatī fīhā maʿādī, wa-jʿali-l-ḥayāta ziyādatan lī fī kulli khayr, wa-jʿali-l-mawta rāḥatan lī min kulli sharr.

O Allah, set right for me my religion, which is the safeguard of my affair; and set right for me my world, in which is my living; and set right for me my Hereafter, to which is my return. Make life an increase for me in every good, and make death a rest for me from every evil.

اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا

Allāhumma āti nafsī taqwāhā, wa zakkihā anta khayru man zakkāhā, anta waliyyuhā wa mawlāhā.

O Allah, give my soul its piety and purify it — You are the best of those who purify it; You are its Guardian and its Master.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿilmin lā yanfaʿ, wa min qalbin lā yakhshaʿ, wa min nafsin lā tashbaʿ, wa min daʿwatin lā yustajābu lahā.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that is not humbled, from a soul that is never satisfied, and from a supplication that is not answered.

اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي وَسَدِّدْنِي

Allāhumma-hdinī wa saddidnī.

O Allah, guide me and make me steady.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَتَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَفُجَاءَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ وَجَمِيعِ سَخَطِكَ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min zawāli niʿmatik, wa taḥawwuli ʿāfiyatik, wa fujāʾati niqmatik, wa jamīʿi sakhaṭik.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from the passing of Your favour, from the turning away of the well-being You granted, from the suddenness of Your reckoning, and from everything that brings Your displeasure.

اللَّهُمَّ انْفَعْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَعَلِّمْنِي مَا يَنْفَعُنِي وَزِدْنِي عِلْمًا

Allāhumma-nfaʿnī bi-mā ʿallamtanī, wa ʿallimnī mā yanfaʿunī, wa zidnī ʿilman.

O Allah, benefit me by what You have taught me, teach me what will benefit me, and increase me in knowledge.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي كُلَّهُ دِقَّهُ وَجِلَّهُ وَأَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ وَعَلاَنِيَتَهُ

Allāhumma-ghfir lī dhanbī kullah, diqqahu wa jillah, wa awwalahu wa ākhirah, wa ʿalāniyatah.

O Allah, forgive me all of my sin — the small of it and the great, the first of it and the last, and what of it was open.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ النَّارِ وَعَذَابِ النَّارِ، وَفِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min fitnati-n-nāri wa ʿadhābi-n-nār, wa fitnati-l-qabri wa ʿadhābi-l-qabr.

O Allah, I take refuge in You from the trial of the Fire and the punishment of the Fire, and from the trial of the grave and the punishment of the grave.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي وَجَهْلِي وَإِسْرَافِي فِي أَمْرِي، وَمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي هَزْلِي وَجِدِّي وَخَطَاىَ وَعَمْدِي، وَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي

Allāhumma-ghfir lī khaṭīʾatī wa jahlī, wa isrāfī fī amrī, wa mā anta aʿlamu bihi minnī. Allāhumma-ghfir lī hazlī wa jiddī, wa khaṭaʾī wa ʿamdī, wa kullu dhālika ʿindī.

O Allah, forgive me my error and my ignorance, and my going to excess in my affairs, and what You know better than I. O Allah, forgive me what I did in jest and in earnest, by mistake and deliberately — and all of that is in me.

اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي، وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرًا لِي

Allāhumma aḥyinī mā kānati-l-ḥayātu khayran lī, wa tawaffanī idhā kānati-l-wafātu khayran lī.

O Allah, keep me alive as long as living is better for me, and take me when death is better for me.

The Prophet ﷺ forbade wishing for death, and gave these words to say instead.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا، وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا، وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ يَسَارِي نُورًا، وَفَوْقِي نُورًا، وَتَحْتِي نُورًا، وَأَمَامِي نُورًا، وَخَلْفِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا

Allāhumma-jʿal fī qalbī nūran, wa fī baṣarī nūran, wa fī samʿī nūran, wa ʿan yamīnī nūran, wa ʿan yasārī nūran, wa fawqī nūran, wa taḥtī nūran, wa amāmī nūran, wa khalfī nūran, wa-jʿal lī nūrā.

O Allah, place light in my heart, light in my sight, light in my hearing, light on my right, light on my left, light above me, light beneath me, light before me and light behind me — and make me light.

The supplication he made on the way to the Fajr prayer.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-jannata wa aʿūdhu bika mina-n-nār.

O Allah, I ask You for the Garden, and I take refuge in You from the Fire.

اللَّهُمَّ مَتِّعْنِي بِسَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَاجْعَلْهُمَا الْوَارِثَ مِنِّي وَانْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ يَظْلِمُنِي وَخُذْ مِنْهُ بِثَأْرِي

Allāhumma mattiʿnī bi-samʿī wa baṣarī, wa-jʿalhuma-l-wāritha minnī, wa-nṣurnī ʿalā man yaẓlimunī, wa khudh minhu bi-thaʾrī.

O Allah, let me have the use of my hearing and my sight, and let them remain with me to the end; grant me victory over whoever wrongs me, and take from him what is due to me.

يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ

Yā muqalliba-l-qulūb, thabbit qalbī ʿalā dīnik

O Turner of hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.

He would say it often. He said: the hearts are between two of the fingers of the Most Merciful.

اللَّهُمَّ مُصَرِّفَ الْقُلُوبِ صَرِّفْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ

Allāhumma muṣarrifa-l-qulūb, ṣarrif qulūbanā ʿalā ṭāʿatik.

O Allah, Turner of hearts, turn our hearts to Your obedience.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلاَ أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلاَ أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي ـ أَوْ قَالَ عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ ـ فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي ـ أَوْ قَالَ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ ـ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ

Allāhumma innī astakhīruka bi-ʿilmik, wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratik, wa asʾaluka min faḍlika-l-ʿaẓīm, fa-innaka taqdiru wa lā aqdir, wa taʿlamu wa lā aʿlam, wa anta ʿallāmu-l-ghuyūb. Allāhumma in kunta taʿlamu anna hādha-l-amra khayrun lī fī dīnī wa maʿāshī wa ʿāqibati amrī, fa-qdur-hu lī wa yassir-hu lī thumma bārik lī fīh. Wa in kunta taʿlamu anna hādha-l-amra sharrun lī fī dīnī wa maʿāshī wa ʿāqibati amrī, fa-ṣrif-hu ʿannī wa-ṣrifnī ʿanh, wa-qdur liya-l-khayra ḥaythu kān, thumma arḍinī bih.

O Allah, I seek Your guidance by Your knowledge, and Your strength by Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty — for You have power and I have none, You know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of all that is hidden. O Allah, if You know this matter to be good for me in my religion, my living and the outcome of my affair, then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and bless me in it. And if You know this matter to be bad for me in my religion, my living and the outcome of my affair, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me the good wherever it is, then make me content with it.

Pray two rakʿahs that are not the obligatory prayer, then say this and name your need.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا كَمَا نَقَّيْتَ الثَّوْبَ الأَبْيَضَ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ

Allāhumma-ghfir lahu wa-rḥamh, wa ʿāfihi wa-ʿfu ʿanh, wa akrim nuzulah, wa wassiʿ mudkhalah, wa-ghsilhu bi-l-māʾi wa-th-thalji wa-l-barad, wa naqqihi mina-l-khaṭāyā kamā naqqayta-th-thawba-l-abyaḍa mina-d-danas.

O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him, grant him well-being and pardon him, honour his resting place and widen his entry. Wash him with water, snow and hail, and cleanse him of his sins as a white garment is cleansed of dirt.

بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكَ وَجَمَعَ بَيْنَكُمَا فِي خَيْرٍ

Bāraka-llāhu lak, wa bāraka ʿalayk, wa jamaʿa baynakumā fī khayr.

May Allah bless you, and send blessings upon you, and join the two of you in good.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَشَاهِدِنَا وَغَائِبِنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكَرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا

Allāhumma-ghfir li-ḥayyinā wa mayyitinā, wa shāhidinā wa ghāʾibinā, wa ṣaghīrinā wa kabīrinā, wa dhakarinā wa unthānā.

O Allah, forgive our living and our dead, those of us present and those absent, our young and our old, our men and our women.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka bi-annī ash-hadu annaka anta-llāhu lā ilāha illā ant, al-Aḥadu-ṣ-Ṣamad, alladhī lam yalid wa lam yūlad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan aḥad.

O Allah, I ask You by my witnessing that You are Allah — there is no god but You, the One, the Eternal Refuge, who does not beget and was not begotten, and to whom none is equal.

He said: he has asked Allah by His Greatest Name, by which He gives when asked and answers when called upon.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka bi-anna laka-l-ḥamd, lā ilāha illā anta-l-Mannān, Badīʿu-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍ, yā Dha-l-Jalāli wa-l-Ikrām, yā Ḥayyu yā Qayyūm.

O Allah, I ask You by the fact that Yours is all praise — there is no god but You, the Bestower, Originator of the heavens and the earth, O Possessor of Majesty and Honour, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer of all.

He said: he has supplicated to Allah by His Greatest Name, by which He answers when called upon and gives when asked.
