In the Name of Allāh, The Beneficent, The Merciful.
Say! (O Prophet Muhammad). I take refuge with the
Lord of the day-break;
from the evil of what He has created;
from the evil of the darkness when it gathers;
from the evil of the women who blow on knots (practicing
witchcraft);
and from the evil of the envious when he envies. (113:1-5)

Say! (O Prophet Muhammad). I take refuge with The

(To be recited once)
Did you then think that We created you in vain,
and that you would not be returned to Us?
But Exalted is Allāh, the True King,
there is no god but He, Lord of the Honoured Throne.
And whosoever calls upon any other god besides Allāh
has no authority for this,
and his reckoning is with his Lord;
undoubtedly, the non-believers will not be successful.
And say (O Prophet Muhammad)! My Lord! Forgive and have
mercy
and You are the Best of those who show mercy. (23:115-118)

So glorify Allāh
when you reach the time of the evening and the time of the
morning.
And His is the Praise in the heavens and the earth,

mid-day.
He brings forth the living from the dead,
And He brings forth the dead from the living,
and He gives life to the earth after its death,
and in like manner you shall be brought forth (from the
dead). (30:17-19)

If We had sent down this Qur’ān upon a mountain
you would certainly have seen it humbled, split asunder
out of the fear of Allāh;
and such examples We set forth for mankind
that they may reflect.
He is Allāh, there is no god but He,
The Knower of the invisible and the visible;
He is The Beneficent, The Merciful.
He is Allāh, there is no god but He,
The King, The Most Holy, The Bestower of Peace, The Granter
of Security,
The Guardian, The Mighty, The Compeller, The Supreme in
Greatness;
Transcendent is Allāh beyond what they ascribe as
partner (with Him).
He is Allāh, The Creator, The Maker, The Shaper;
to Him belong the Most Beautiful Names;
all that is in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him,
and He is The Mighty, The Wise. (59:21-24)
