In the Name of ALLAH, the All-merciful, the All-compassionate

'In the name of ALLAH', the word of those who hold fast to Him,

the speech of those who seek His protection

I seek refuge in ALLAH (high exalted is He) from

the injustice of the unjust,

the trickery of the enviers,

and the oppression of the wrongdoers,

and I praise Him beyond the praise of the praisers!

O ALLAH,

Thou art the One without partner,

and the King without having been made sovereign;

no one opposes Thee in Thy decree

and no one contests Thee in Thy kingdom

I ask Thee to

bless MUHAMMAD and his Household, Thy servant and Thy messenger,

inspire me with a thanksgiving for Thy favours which will take me to the utmost limit of Thy good pleasure,

help me through the gentleness of Thy solicitude to obey Thee, hold fast to worshiping Thee, and deserve Thy reward,

have mercy upon me, bar me from acts of disobedience toward Thee as long as Thou keepest me alive,

give me success in what profits me as long as Thou sparest me,

expand my breast through Thy Book,

lessen my burden through its recitation,

bestow upon me health in my religion and my soul,

estrange not my intimates from me,

and complete Thy beneficence in what is left of my lifetime,

just as Thou hast shown beneficence in that of it which has passed!

O Most Merciful of the merciful!
