When retiring for sleep
“Allahumma aslamtu nafsi ilaika, wafawwatu amri ilaika, wa wajjahtu wajhi ilaika,
wa alja‘tu žahri ilaika, raghbatan wa rahbatan ilaika la malja wala manja minka illa
ilaika, aamantu bi-kitabik-alladhi anzalta wa bi-nabiyyik-alladhi arsalta”
(O Allah, I submit my soul unto You, and I entrust my affair unto You, and I turn my
face towards You, and I put my trust in You, in hope and fear of You. Verily there is
no refuge or safe haven from You except with You. I believe in Your Book which You
have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent).
“Alhamdu lillaahilladhi at’amana wa saqaana wa kafaana wa aawaana fakam mimman
la kaafia lahu wa la mu‘wi” (Praise is for Allah who fed us and satisfied our thirst and
sufficed us and gave us refuge and how many people are there that do not have anyone to
suffice them and give them refuge).
“Allahumma qini ‘adhaabaka yauma tab’athu ibaadak” (O Allah save me from your
punishment the day Your slaves are resurrected).
“Subhaanak-Allahumma rabbi bika wa’atu janbi ,bika arfa’uhu in amsakta nafsi
faghfir laha wa in arsaltaha fahfaž-ha bima tahfaž bihi ibaadak-as-saaliheen” (Glory
be to you O Allah, O my Lord, by your name I lie down and by your name I get up. If
you hold back my soul, forgive it and if you send it back, protect it the way you
protect your righteous slaves).
He reads the last two surahs of the Qur’an – al-Falaq and an-Naas – and blows on the
palms of his hands and wipes all over his body.

When going for prayer
“Allahumma baa’id baini wabaina khataayaaya kama ba’adta bainal-mashriqi
walmaghribi, Allahumma naqqini min khataayaaya kama yunaqqath-aubulabyau
min-ad-danas, Allahummaghsilni min khataayaaya bith-alji wal ma‘i
wal-barad” (O Allah, distance me from my sins just as You have distanced the
East from the West. O Allah, purify me of my sins as a white robe is purified of
filth. O Allah, cleanse me of my sins with water, snow and hail).
“Allahumm-aj’al fi qalbi noora wafi lisaani noora, waj’al fi sam’i noora waj’al fi
basari noora wa min fauqi noora wamin tahti noora wa ’an yameeni noora wa ’an
shimaali noora wa min amaami noora wa min khalfi noora, waj’al fi nafsi noora wa
a’ažim li noora, wa azdhim li noora waj’al li noora waj’alni noora. Allahumma
a’atini noora waj’al fi asabi noora wa fi lahmi noora wa fi dami noora wa fi sha’ri
noora wa fi basari noora” (O Allah, place within my heart light, and upon my tongue
light, and within my ears light, and within my eyes light, and place above me light and
beneath me light and on my right light and on my left light and in front of me light and
behind me light and place in me light and make the light great for me and make my
light brighter and make light for me and make me light. O Allah, bestow upon me light
and make light in my nerves and light in my flesh and light in my blood and light in
my hair and light in my skin).
