When one awake in the night, recite the following invocations [doa] and
wipe your face with your hand, (Remember! One knot will be untied)
1. All praises and thanks belong to Allah who raised us up after
death and to Whom we return to.
2. We are present this morning in the Kingdom of Allah, the
Authority and Sovereignty of Allah, the Glory and the Power of
Allah, Lord of the Universe.
3. We are present this morning facing nature in Islam, with the true
speech, and upon the religion of our Prophet Muhammad, may
Allah’s blessing be upon him and his family, and grant them
peace. And upon our forefather Ibrahim, who was true in faith
and submitted his will (which is Islam) to Allah and he joined
not partners with Allah.
4. O Allah, today we seek from You a delegation of all good
things, and today I seek refuge from committing any sins
(offenses) or commit a crime towards a believer.
5. O Lord, we are with You this morning, and with You in the
evening, with You when we live, with You when we die, and
only to You do we return to.
6. Today, we seek good tidings, and whatever good that it may
offer, and we seek you refuge from the negative events of this
day and whatever bad things that it may offer.
Then recite the Surah 3 al-Imran Verses 190 - 200 during this period. If
you do not memorize them then it is best to do so after ablution [wudhu]
but before commencing the Tahajjud/Night/Witr Prayers.
Dress well and put some musk [atar] perfume.
