• اللَّهُمَّ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيكَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَـٰٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَشَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ. (أبو داود ٥٠٦٧)

allāhumma ʿālima al-ghaybi wal-shahādati, fāṭira al-samāwāti wal-arḍ, rabba kulli shayʾin wa-malīkah, ashhadu an lā ilāha illā anta, aʿūdhu bika min sharri nafsī, wa-sharri al-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 testify that there is no god except You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil of Satan and his shirk.

• بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ (٣) (أبو داود ٥٠٨٨)

bismi allāhi alladhī lā yaḍurru maʿa ismihi shayʾun fī al-arḍi wa-lā fī al-samāʾi wa-huwa al-samīʿu al-ʿalīm. (3)
In the Name of Allah, with whose Name nothing can cause harm on earth or in heaven, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (3)

• ﴿﷽ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ، مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ، إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ، اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ، صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ، غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ﴾ (البخاري ٥٠٠٧)

bismi allāh al-raḥmān al-raḥīm, al-ḥamdu li-llāhi rabbi al-ʿālamīn, al-raḥmāni al-raḥīm, māliki yawmi al-dīn, iyyāka naʿbudu wa-iyyāka nastaʿīn, ihdinā al-ṣirāṭa al-mustaqīm, ṣirāṭa alladhīna anʿamta ʿalayhim, ghayri al-maghḍūbi ʿalayhim wa-lā al-ḍāllīn.
All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all worlds, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate, Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path, the path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not those who have earned Your anger, nor those who have gone astray.

• ﴿﷽ اللهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ، لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ، لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ، مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ، يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ، وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاء، وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ، وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا، وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ﴾ (الكبرى للنسائي ٩٨٤٨ البخاري ٢٣١١)

bismi allāh al-raḥmān al-raḥīm, allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa al-ḥayyu al-qayyūm, lā taʾkhudhuhu sinatun wa-lā nawm, lahu mā fī al-samāwāti wa-mā fī al-arḍ, man dhā alladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahu illā bi-idhnih, yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wa-mā khalfahum, wa-lā yuḥīṭūna bi-shayʾin min ʿilmihī illā bimā shāʾ, wasiʿa kursiyyuhu al-samāwāti wal-arḍ, wa-lā yaʾūduhu ḥifẓuhumā, wa-huwa al-ʿaliyyu al-ʿaẓīm
Allah, there is no god except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. 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 before them and what is behind them, and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His dominion extends over the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Most Great.

• ﴿﷽ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ ۗ وَإِنْ تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ ۖ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
  آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ، كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ، لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ، وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا، غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ.
  لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا، لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ، رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا، رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا، رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ، وَاعْفُ عَنَّا، وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا، وَارْحَمْنَا، أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا، فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ﴾ (البخاري ٥٠٠٩)

bismi allāh al-raḥmān al-raḥīm, li-llāhi mā fī al-samāwāti wa-mā fī al-arḍ, wa-in tubdū mā fī anfusikum aw tukhfūhu yuḥāsibkum bihi allāh, fa-yaghfiru li-man yashāʾu wa-yuʿadhdhibu man yashāʾ. wa-allāhu ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīr
āmana al-rasūlu bimā unzila ilayhi min rabbihi wal-muʾminūn, kullun āmana bi-llāhi wa-malāʾikatihi wa-kutubihi wa-rusulih, lā nufarriqu bayna aḥadin min rusulih. wa-qālū samiʿnā wa-aṭaʿnā, ghufrānaka rabbanā wa-ilayka al-maṣīr.
lā yukallifu allāhu nafsan illā wusʿahā, lahā mā kasabat, wa-ʿalayhā mā iktasabat. rabbanā lā tuʾākhidhnā in nasīnā aw akhṭaʾn, rabbanā wa-lā taḥmil ʿalaynā iṣran kamā ḥamaltahu ʿalā alladhīna min qablinā, rabbanā wa-lā tuḥammilnā mā lā ṭāqata lanā bih, wa-ʿfu ʿannā, wa-ghfir lanā, wa-rḥamnā. anta mawlānā fa-nṣurnā ʿalā al-qawmi al-kāfirīn.
To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Whether you reveal what is within yourselves or conceal it, Allah will call you to account for it. Then He forgives whom He wills and punishes whom He wills. And Allah has power over all things.
The Messenger ﷺ has believed in what was sent down to him from his Lord, and so have the believers. All have believed in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers. We make no distinction between any of His messengers. They say, “We hear and we obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord; and to You is the final return.”
Allah does not burden any soul beyond its capacity. It will have the good it has earned, and it will bear the consequences of what it has committed. Our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place upon us a burden as You placed upon those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with what we have no strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people.

• ﴿حم، تَنْزِيلُ الْكِتَابِ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْعَلِيمِ، غَافِرِ الذَّنْبِ وَقَابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ ۖ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ﴾ (الدارمي ٣٤٢٩)

Ha Mim. The revelation of the Book is from Allah, the Exalted in Might, the Knowing. The forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. There is no deity except Him; to Him is the destination.

• ﴿﷽ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ، اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ﴾ (٣) (أبو داود ٥٠٨٢)

translation: Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of what He has created, from the evil of darkness when it settles, from the evil of those who blow on knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies. (3)

• ﴿﷽ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ، مَلِكِ النَّاسِ، إِلَٰهِ النَّاسِ، مِن شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ، الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ، مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ﴾ (٣) (أبو داود ٥٠٨٢)

bismi allāh al-raḥmān al-raḥīm, qul aʿūdhu bi-rabbi al-nās, maliki al-nās, ilāhi al-nās, min sharri al-waswāsi al-khannās, alladhī yuwaswisu fī ṣudūri al-nās, mina al-jinnati wa-l-nās (3)
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the whisperer who withdraws, who whispers in the hearts of mankind, from among the jinn and mankind. (3)

• «لاَ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِلاَّ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ كَانَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلاَهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لاَ يَنْفَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ وَمِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْبَعُ وَمِنْ دَعْوَةٍ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا» (مسلم ٢٧٢٢)

I am not going to say anything but only that which Messenger of Allah (may peace be upgn him) used to say. He used to supplicate:" O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from incapacity, from sloth, from cowardice, from miserliness, decrepitude and from torment of the grave. O Allah, grant to my soul the sense of righteousness and purify it, for Thou art the Best Purifier thereof. Thou art the Protecting Friend thereof, and Guardian thereof. O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the knowledge which does not benefit, from the heart that does not entertain the fear (of Allah), from the soul that does not feel contented and the supplication that is not responded."

• اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ، وَالْهَرَمِ، وَعَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ،

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from incapacity, laziness, cowardice, miserliness, old age, and the punishment of the grave.
O Allah, grant my soul its piety and purify it; You are the best to purify it. You are its Protector and its Master.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, from a heart that does not humble itself, from a soul that is never satisfied, and from a supplication that is not answered.

• اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ، وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ. (البخاري ٦٣٦٩)

My Lord, forgive me my sin and my ignorance, my excess in all of my affairs, and what You know better than I. O Allah, forgive me my sins, whether done deliberately or out of ignorance, in seriousness or in jest, for all of that is from me. O Allah, forgive me what I have sent ahead and what I have left behind, what I have concealed and what I have made public. You are the One who brings forward and the One who puts back, and You have power over all things.

Allah, there is no god except Him, the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. 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 before them and what is behind them, and they encompass nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His dominion extends over the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not burden Him. He is the Most High, the Most Great.
