بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.
‏﴿ الٓمٓ ۝ ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْكِتَـٰبُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ۝ ٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱلْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَـٰهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ۝ وَٱلَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ۝ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحُونَ ﴾‏
Alif Lām Mīm. This is the Book! There is no doubt about it—a guide for those mindful ˹of Allah˺, who believe in the Unseen, and are steadfast in prayer, and spend from what We have provided for them, and who believe in what has been revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ and what was revealed before you, and have sure faith in the Hereafter. It is they who are rightly guided, and it is they who will succeed.
‏﴿ وَإِلَـٰهُكُمْ إِلَـٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌ ۖ لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ ﴾‏
Your God is One God. There is no god but Him. He is the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُقَدِّمُ إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ كُلِّ نَفَسٍ وَلَمْحَةٍ وَلَحْظَةٍ وَخَطْرَةٍ وَطَرْفَةٍ يَطْرِفُ بِهَا أَهْلُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَكُلِّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ فِي عِلْمِكَ كَائِنٌ أَوْ قَدْ كَانَ، أُقَدِّمُ إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَي ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ:
O Allāh! Before every breath, every instant, every moment, every passing thought, and every blink of the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, and before everything that is or has ever been, all of it encompassed by Your knowledge, I present to You:
‏﴿ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ ﴾‏
Allāh! There is no god but Him; the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting, the Eternal One. Neither slumber nor sleep can overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the Heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is there that can intercede in His Presence, except by His Permission? He knows what will happen to (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter; nor shall they comprehend anything at all of His Knowledge except as He wills. His Throne encompasses the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not burden Him in the slightest. He is the Exalted, the Magnificent.
‏﴿ لِلَّهِ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ وَإِن تُبْدُوا۟ مَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ ٱللَّهُ ۖ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَآءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَآءُ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ۝ ءَامَنَ ٱلرَّسُولُ بِمَآ أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِۦ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ ءَامَنَ بِٱللَّهِ وَمَلَـٰٓئِكَتِهِۦ وَكُتُبِهِۦ وَرُسُلِهِۦ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِۦ ۚ وَقَالُوا۟ سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ ۝ لَا يُكَلِّفُ ٱللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا ۚ لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا ٱكْتَسَبَتْ ۗ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَآ إِن نَّسِينَآ أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَآ إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا ۚ رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِۦ ۖ وَٱعْفُ عَنَّا وَٱغْفِرْ لَنَا وَٱرْحَمْنَآ ۚ أَنتَ مَوْلَىٰنَا فَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَـٰفِرِينَ ﴾‏
To Allāh belongs all that is in the Heavens and that is on earth. Whether you disclose what is within your selves or conceal it, Allāh will call you to account for it. He forgives whom He wishes and punishes whom He wishes; He has power over all things. The Messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers. Each of them believes in Allāh, His Angels, His Books and His Messengers. They say: “We do not differentiate between any of His Messengers. We hear and we obey. We ask Your forgiveness, our Lord; to You is our return." Allāh does not burden any soul with more than it can bear. It has [the good] it has earned, and [the evil] it commits. “Our Lord, do not take us to task if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place on us a burden like the one You placed on those before us. Our Lord, do not place on us what we have no strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us — You are our Master, so grant us victory over those who deny the truth.”
‏﴿ شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ قَآئِمًۢا بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴾ وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ بِمَا شَهِدَ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَأُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، وَأَسْتَوْدِعُ اللَّهَ هَذِهِ الشَّهَادَةَ، وَهِيَ لِي عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَدِيعَةٌ، أَسْأَلُهُ حِفْظَهَا حَتَّى يَتَوَفَّانِي عَلَيْهَا‏
Allāh bears witness that there is no god but He; as do the Angels and those who possess knowledge. He is the Upholder of Justice. There is no god but He, the All-Mighty, the Wise. And I bear witness to that which Allāh bears testimony to; and I take Allāh as witness, and I entrust this testimony to His safekeeping; and I ask Allāh to safeguard it until He takes my soul while I hold fast to it.
‏﴿ إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ﴾ ﴿ قُلِ ٱللَّهُمَّ مَـٰلِكَ ٱلْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِى ٱلْمُلْكَ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتَنزِعُ ٱلْمُلْكَ مِمَّن تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَن تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَن تَشَآءُ ۖ بِيَدِكَ ٱلْخَيْرُ ۖ إِنَّكَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ۝ تُولِجُ ٱلَّيْلَ فِى ٱلنَّهَارِ وَتُولِجُ ٱلنَّهَارَ فِى ٱلَّيْلِ ۖ وَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْحَىَّ مِنَ ٱلْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ ٱلْمَيِّتَ مِنَ ٱلْحَىِّ ۖ وَتَرْزُقُ مَن تَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ ﴾‏
Indeed, the religion in the Sight of Allāh is Islām. Say: “O Allāh! Owner of all sovereignty. You bestow sovereignty on whom You will, and You take it away from whom You please. You exalt whoever You will, and humiliate whoever You will. In Your hands alone is all goodness. Indeed, You have power over all things. You cause the night to follow the day, and cause the day to follow the night; You bring forth the living from the dead, and bring forth the dead from the living; You give sustenance to whom You will, without measure.
رَحْمَٰنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيمَهُمَا، تُعْطِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْهُمَا وَتَمْنَعُ مَنْ تَشَاءُ، أَنْتَ تَرْحَمُنَا فَارْحَمْنَا رَحْمَةً تُغْنِينَا بِهَا عَنْ رَحْمَةِ مَنْ سِوَاكَ، اللَّهُمَّ اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ، وَتَوَفَّنَا عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَالْجِهَادِ فِي سَبِيلِكَ
O Compassionate and Merciful Lord of this world and the Hereafter. You give from it to whom You will and withhold it from whom You will. O Allāh! have mercy on us, a mercy that makes us free of need for any besides You. O Allāh, free us from debts and save us from poverty, cause us to die in a state of obedience and striving in Your cause.
