I seek refuge from shaitan the accursed, in the
name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds,
The Beneficent, the Merciful.
Master of the Day of J udgment,
Thee (alone) we worship; Thee (alone) we ask
for help.
Show us the straight path,
The path of those whom Thou hast favoured;
Not the (path) of those who earn Thine anger
nor of those who go astray.



In the name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.

Your God is One God; there is no God save
Him, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Allah! There
is no God save Him, the Alive, the Eternal.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtaketh Him. Unto
Him belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and
whatsoever is in the earth. Who is he that
intercedeth with Him save by His leave ? He
knoweth that which is in front of them and that
which is behind them, while they encompass
nothing of His knowledge save what He will.
His throne includeth the heavens and the earth,
and He is never weary of preserving them. He is
the Sublime, the Tremendous.

'alim. Ammana billahi, Sadaq Allah ul-Azim.

(59:22-24, 57:3)






In the name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.
The messenger believeth in that which hath
been revealed unto him from his Lord and (so
do) believers. Each one believeth in Allah and
His angels and His scriptures and His
messengers - We make no distinction between
any of His messengers - and they say: We hear,
and we obey. (Grant us) Thy forgiveness, our
Lord. Unto Thee is the journeying. Allah tasketh
not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that
which it hath earned, and against it (only) that
which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us
not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord!
Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on
those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us
that which we have not the strength to bear!
Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us,
Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the
disbelieving folk.


In the name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.
He is Allah, than Whom there is no other God,
the Knower of the Invisible and the Visible. He
is the Beneficent, Merciful. He is Allah, than
Whom there is no other God, the Sovereign
Lord, the Holy One, Peace, the Keeper of Faith,
the Guardian, the Majestic, the Compeller, the
Superb. Glorified be Allah from all that they
ascribe as partner (unto Him). He is Allah, the
Creator, the Shaper out of naught, the Fashioner.
His are the most beautiful names. All that is in
the heavens and the earth glorifieth Him, and He
is the Mighty, the Wise. He is the First and the
Last, and the Outward and the Inward; and He is
Knower of all things.

In the name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.

Have We not caused thy bosom to dilate,
And eased thee of the burden
Which weighed down thy back;
And exalted thy fame ?
But lo! with hardship goeth ease,
Lo! with hardship goeth ease;
So when thou art relieved, still toil
And strive to please thy Lord.



In the name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.

Say: He is Allah, the One!
Allah, the eternally Besought of all!
He begetteth not nor was begotten.
And there is none comparable unto Him.



In the name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of the Daybreak
From the evil of that which He created;
From the evil of the darkness when it is intense,
And from the evil of malignant witchcraft,
And from the evil of the envier when he envieth.



In the name of Allah Most Compassionate, Most
Merciful.

Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
The King of mankind,
The God of mankind,
From the evil of the sneaking whisperer,
Who whispereth in the hearts of mankind,
Of the jinn and of mankind
