Amsaynā wa amsa-l-mulku lillāh, wa-l-ḥamdu lillāh, lā ilāha illā-llāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-ḥamdu wa huwa ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr.Rabbi as’aluka khayra mā fī hādhihi-l-laylah wa khayra mā ba‘dahā, wa a‘ūdhu bika min sharri mā fī hādhihi-l-laylah wa sharri mā ba‘dahā. Rabbi a‘ūdhu bika mina-l-kasali wa sū’i-l-kibar, rabbi a‘ūdhu bika min ‘adhābin fi-n-nāri wa ‘adhābin fi-l-qabr.

Translation

"We have entered the evening, and so has the entire kingdom of Allah. All praise is due to Allah alone; there is no deity but Him, He is One, and He has no partner. His is the sovereignty, and to Him belongs all praise. He is capable of everything. O my Lord! I ask You for the best of what this night holds and the best of what is to come after it. I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows. O my Lord! I seek refuge in You from laziness and the harm of old age. O my Lord! I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the Fire and the punishment of the grave." .

Allāhumma anta rabbī, lā ilāha illā anta, khalaqtanī wa anā ‘abduka, wa anā ‘alā ‘ahdika wa wa‘dika mā is-taṭa‘tu, a‘ūzu bika min sharri mā sana‘tu, abū’u laka bini‘matika ‘alayya, wa abū’u bidhambī, faghfir lī fa inna-hu lā yaghfiru-zhunūba illā anta.

Translation

"O Allah! You are my Lord, there is no deity but You. You created me, and I am Your servant. I am fulfilling my covenant and promise to You to the best of my ability. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I confess my sins. Therefore, forgive me, for indeed, none can forgive sins except You." .

Allāhumma innī as’alu-ka-l-‘afwa wal-‘āfiyah fī-d-dunyā wal-ākhirah. Allāhumma innī as’alu-ka-l-‘afwa wal-‘āfiyah fī dīnī wa dunyāy wa ahlī wa mālī. Allāhumma surr ‘awrātī, wa āmin raw‘ātī, Allāhumma ḥafiẓnī min bayni yadayy, wa min khalfī, wa ‘an yamīnī, wa ‘an shimālī, wa min fawqī, wa a‘ūzu bi-‘aẓamatika an-ughtāla min taḥtī.

Translation

"O Allah! Indeed, I ask You for pardon and safety in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah! Indeed, I ask You for pardon and safety in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family, and my wealth. O Allah! Conceal my faults and grant me peace in my moments of distress. O Allah! Protect me from in front of me, from behind me, from my right, from my left, and from above me. And I seek refuge in Your greatness from being suddenly destroyed from beneath me." .

Allāhumma fāṭira as-samāwāti wal-arḍi, ‘Ālima-l-ghaybi wash-shahādati, lā ilāha illā anta, rabbakulli shay’in wa malīkahū, a‘ūzu bika min sharri nafsī wa min sharri ash-shayṭāni wa shirkihī, wa an aqtarifa ‘alā nafsī sū’an aw ajurruhu ilā muslim.

Translation

"O Allah! O Creator of the heavens and the earth! O Knower of the unseen and the witnessed! There is no deity but You, the Lord and Sovereign of everything. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own soul, from the evil of Shaytan and his shirk, and from the harm of committing any wrongdoing against myself or leading it towards a Muslim." .

**Raḍītu billāhi rabban, wa bil-islāmi dīnan, wa bi-Muḥammadin ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam nabīyyan.**

Translation

"I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad (peace be upon him) as my Prophet." .
