He who sent down the clear Criterion (the Qur’an) to His servant ( ﷺpeace be upon
him) in order to make him a warner to the worlds; He who sent His noble messenger
to the two mighty races of jinn and mankind to give glad tidings and to warn; and
we are to this (truth) from among those who bear witness.
O Allah, guide us along with those whom You have guided aright; and grant us well-
being along with those whom You have granted well-being; and protect us with those
whom You have protected. Bless for us all that You have given us; and save us and
keep away from us any evil that You have decreed. O Allah, save us and keep away
from us any evil that You have decreed. O Allah, save us and keep away from us any
evil that You have decreed, for verily You decree in truth, and none can decree
over You. And none is abased whom You befriend, and none is honored whom You
oppose. Blessed are You, our Lord, Exalted. To You, O Allah, all praise is due for
what You have decreed, and to You, O Allah, is due all thanks for Your blessings
and bounty. We seek forgiveness from (You) Allah, and we repent to You. We seek
forgiveness from Allah, and we repent to You.
We seek forgiveness from You, O Allah, for every sin and every misstep (we have
taken), and we turn to You in repentance. We believe in You and rely on You. You
are the Rich, the Self-Sufficient and Free of Needs (al-Ghaniyy), and we are poor
and bereft before You. You are the Strong (al-Qawiyy), and we are weak and
vulnerable before You.

greeting (to one another) therein is, “Peace.” And the conclusion of their prayer
will be, “Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds.” (Qur’an,
10:10)
“Our Lord, condemn us not if we forget or fall into error. Our Lord, lay not on us
a burden like that which you laid on those before us. Our Lord, lay not on us a
burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us, and grant us forgiveness,
and have mercy on us. You are our Protector. Help us against those who stand
against faith.” (Qur’an, 2:286)
“Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us, and grant us mercy

for verily, Allah never fails in His promise.” (Qur’an, 3:8-9)
“Our Lord, forgive us our sins and anything we may have done that transgressed our
duty. Establish our feet firmly, and help us against those that resist Faith.”
(Qur’an, 3:147)

the unjust wrongdoers there are no helpers. Our Lord, indeed we have heard a
caller calling to faith, [saying], ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we have believed.
Our Lord, so forgive us our sins and remove from us our misdeeds and cause us to
die with the righteous. Our Lord, and grant us what You promised us through Your
messengers and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. Indeed, You do not
fail in [Your] promise.” (Qur’an, 3:192-194)

oppression; and save us, by Your mercy, from those who reject You.” (Qur’an, 10:8-
9)

repentance, and to You (Alone) is (our) final return. Our Lord, make us not a test
and a trial for the disbelievers, but forgive us, our Lord, for You are the Exalted
in might, the Wise.” (Qur’an, 60:4-5)
“Our Lord, forgive us and our brethren who came before us into the faith, and leave
not, in our hearts, ill feeling against those who have believed. Our Lord, You are
indeed full of kindness, most merciful.” (Qur’an, 59:10)
O Allah, to You we lovingly submit; and in You we believe; and upon You do we rely.
To You we turn (in repentance), and by You we argue (and advocate). Forgive us for
what we have sent forth (in deeds) and for what we have held back; for what we have
made known, and for what we have hidden; and for (our deeds) which You have more
knowledge of than we ourselves.
O Allah, be compassionate with us, for You are the One who shows us mercy. Do not
punish us for our sins, for You are the Powerful over us. Be gracious and kind to
us, Our Lord, for what has come to pass in our time and place; and (we ask You, O
Allah) to conclude our lives for us with a beautiful and joyful ending.
“Exalted is Your Lord, the Lord of Might and Honor, above what they describe; and
peace be on the messengers (of God); and all praise is due to Allah, the Lord and
Cherisher of the worlds.” (Qur’an, 37:180-182)
Send peace and blessings, O Allah, on our master Muhammad, and upon his blessed
family and noble companions. Ameen.
