أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ غَضَبِهِ وَعِقَابِهِ، وَشَرِّ عِبَادِهِ، وَمِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّياطِينِ وَأَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ

Aʿūdhu bi-ka-li-māti llāhi at-tāmmāti min ghaḍabihi wa ʿiqābihi, washarri ʿibādihi, wamin hamazāti ash-shayṭīni waʾan yaḥḍurūn

I take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from His anger and punishment, and from the evil of His servants, and from the madness and appearance of devils.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ القُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلاَءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي

Allāhumma innī ʿabduka, ibnu ʿabdika, ibnu amatika, nāṣiyatī bi-yadika, māḍin fīa ḥukmuka, ʿadlun fīa qaḍāʾuka, asʾaluka bikulli ismin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fī kitābika, aw ʿallamtahu aḥadan min khalqika, awi istaʾtharta bihi fī ʿilmi l-ghaybi ʿindaka, an tajʿala l-qurʾāna rabīʿa qalbī, wa nūra ṣadrī, wa jalāʾa ḥuznī, wa dhahāba hammī

O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant, my forelock is in Your hand i.e. You have total mastery over, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quran the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ، وَالْعَجْزِ وَالْكَسَلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلَعِ الدَّيْنِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina l-hammi wa-l-ḥazani, wa-l-ʿajzi wa-l-kasali, wa-l-bukhli wa-l-jubni, wa ḍalaʿi ad-dayni wa ghalabati ar-rijāl

O Allah, I take refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, the burden of debts and from being over powered by men.

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ

Lā ilāha illā llāhu l-ʿaẓīmu l-ḥalīmu, lā ilāha illā llāhu rabbu l-ʿarshi l-ʿaẓīmi, lā ilāha illā llāhu rabbu as-samawāti warabbu l-ʾarḍi warabbu l-ʿarshi l-karīm

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah Forbearing. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the magnificent throne. None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the Earth and Lord of the noble throne.

اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو، فَلاَ تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ، وَأَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Allāhumma raḥmataka arjū, falā takilnī ilā nafsī ṭarfata ʿaynin, wa aṣliḥ lī shaʾnī kullahu, lā ilāha illā ant

O Allah, it is Your mercy that I hope for, so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for a blink of an eye and rectify for me all of my affairs. None has the right to be worshipped except You.

اللَّهُمَّ لاَ سَهْلَ إِلاَّ مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً، وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الْحَزْنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلاً

Allāhumma lā sahla illā mā jaʿaltahu sahlan, wa anta tajʿalu l-ḥazna idhā shiʾta sahlā

O Allah, there is no ease except in that which You have made easy, and You make the difficulty, if You wish, easy.

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ، اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي، وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرَاً مِنْهَا

Innā li-llāhi wa innā ilayhi rājiʿūna, allāhumma jurnī fī muṣībatī, wa akhlif lī khayrā minhā

To Allah we belong and unto Him is our return. O Allah, recompense me for my affliction and replace it for me with something better.
