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

In the name of ALLAH,

from whom I hope for nothing but bounty,

and from whom I fear nothing but justice

I rely only upon His word,

and I cling only to His cord

In Thee I seek sanctuary

—O Possessor of pardon and good pleasure—

from wrong and enmity,

from the changes of time

and the recurrence of sorrows,

and from the striking of mishaps

from the expiration of my term before preparation and readiness.

From Thee I seek guidance to that wherein is righteousness and being set right.

From Thee I seek help in that which is linked to success and favorable response.

Thee I beseech for the garment of well-being and its completion and for the covering of health and its permanence.

I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, from the goadings of the SATANs,

and I seek protection in Thy sovereignty from the injustice of the sovereigns.

So accept my past prayers and fasting

and make my tomorrow and what is after better than my present hour and my today!

Exalt me in my clan and my people

and protect me in my waking and my sleeping!

For Thou art ALLAH, the Best Guardian,

and Thou art the Most Merciful of the merciful.

O ALLAH, I am quit before Thee

on this day of mine and on all Sundays that follow it of associating others with Thee and of heresy

I devote my supplication sincerely to Thee, addressing myself to Thy response.

So bless MUHAMMAD and the Household of MUHAMMAD,

the best of Thy creation, the summoner to Thy truth,

exalt me with Thy exaltation, which is never made to suffer loss,

protect me with Thy eye, which never sleeps,

and seal my affair by cutting me off from everything but Thee and my life with forgiveness!

Surely Thou art the All-forgiving, the All-compassionate!
