باسمك ربي وضعت جنبي ، وبك أرفعه، فإن أمسكت نفسي فارحمها ، وإن…

بِاسْمِكَ رَبِّـي وَضَعْـتُ جَنْـبي ، وَبِكَ أَرْفَعُـه، فَإِن أَمْسَـكْتَ نَفْسـي فارْحَـمْها ، وَإِنْ أَرْسَلْتَـها فاحْفَظْـها بِمـا تَحْفَـظُ بِه عِبـادَكَ الصّـالِحـين.

In Your name, my Lord, I lie down, and through You I rise. If You take my soul, have mercy on it; if You return it, protect it as You protect Your righteous servants.

اللّهُـمَّ إِنَّـكَ خَلَـقْتَ نَفْسـي وَأَنْـتَ تَوَفّـاهـا لَكَ ممَـاتـها وَمَحْـياها ، إِنْ أَحْيَيْـتَها فاحْفَظْـها ، وَإِنْ أَمَتَّـها فَاغْفِـرْ لَـها . اللّهُـمَّ إِنَّـي أَسْـأَلُـكَ العـافِـيَة.

O Allah, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Creator of the heavens and earth, Lord and Sovereign of everything, I testify that none is worthy of worship except You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own soul, from the evil of Satan and his association of partners with You, and from committing wrong against myself or bringing it upon another Muslim.

الإخلاص والمعوذتان

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيم قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ أَحَدٌ، ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌۢ. بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيم قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلْفَلَقِ، مِن شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ، وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ، وَمِن شَرِّ ٱلنَّفَّٰثَٰتِ فِى ٱلْعُقَدِ، وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ. بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيم قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ ٱلنَّاسِ، مَلِكِ ٱلنَّاسِ، إِلَٰهِ ٱلنَّاسِ، مِن شَرِّ ٱلْوَسْوَاسِ ٱلْخَنَّاسِ، ٱلَّذِى يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُورِ ٱلنَّاسِ، مِنَ ٱلْجِنَّةِ وَٱلنَّاسِ.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say: He is Allah, the One. Allah, the One upon whom all depend. He neither begets nor was born, and none is comparable to Him. In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of what He created, from the evil of darkness as it settles, from the evil of those who blow on knots, and from the evil of an envious person when they envy. In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the retreating whisperer, who whispers in people’s hearts, from among jinn and mankind.

خواتيم سورة البقرة

أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ. لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ.

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed. The Messenger believes in what his Lord has revealed to him, as do the believers. They all believe in Allah, His angels, His books, and His messengers: “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” They say: “We hear and obey. Our Lord, grant us Your forgiveness; to You is our final return.” Allah burdens no soul beyond its capacity. It benefits from the good it earns and bears the consequences of the evil it earns. Our Lord, do not hold us to account if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place upon us a burden like that placed upon those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector; give us victory over those who disbelieve.

آية الكرسي

أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ اللّهُ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلاَّ بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاء وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلاَ يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ.

I seek refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed. Allah: none is worthy of worship except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. Everything in the heavens and on earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him without His permission? He knows what lies before them and behind them. They grasp nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Kursi encompasses the heavens and earth, and preserving them does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent.

دعاء الأرق

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and all they shelter, Lord of the earths and all they carry, and Lord of the devils and all they mislead: be my protection against the evil of all Your creation, so that none oversteps or wrongs me. Mighty is Your protection and exalted is Your praise; none is worthy of worship except You.
