(In the name of Allah, with Whose name nothing in the heavens or the earth can cause harm; He is the Hearing, the Knowing – repeat this three times).
(Glory is to Allah and praise is to Him – say this one hundred times).
(O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no deity but You; You created me, and I am Your servant, and I am on Your covenant and promise as much as I can; I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done; I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I confess my sins; forgive me, for indeed, no one can forgive sins except You).
(O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in this life and the Hereafter; O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly life, my family, and my wealth; O Allah, conceal my faults, calm my fears, and protect me from in front of me, behind me, to my right, to my left, and from above me; I seek refuge in You from being overwhelmed from below).
(O Allah, I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, from incapacity and laziness, from stinginess and cowardice, from the burden of debt, and the overwhelming of men).
