Surah al-Fatiha (Recite this Surah once)

In the Name of Allāh, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

All praise be to Allāh, Lord of the worlds.

The Beneficent, the Merciful Owner of the Day of Judgment

You only do we worship, and You only do we beg for helpage

Guide us on the straight path.

The path of those whom You have favoured;

not (the path) of those who earn Your anger

nor of those who go astray. (Surah1: verse 1-7)

Āyah al-Kursi (Recite once)

موات وما ف األرض من ذا الذي ي اهلل ال إلو إال وم ال تأخذه سنة وال ن وم لو ما ف الس عنده ىو الي القي شفيطون بشيء من علمو إال إال بإذنو ي علم ما ب ي أيديهم وما خلفهم موات وال ي رسيو الس ا شآء وس

واألرض وال ي ؤده حفظهما وىو العلي العظيم.

Allāh! None is worthy of worship but He,

The Ever-Living, The Self-Subsisting by Whom all subsist;

Slumber overtakes Him not, nor sleep;

to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens

and whatever is in the earth; who is he that can intercede with Him

except by His permission? He knows what is before them

and what is behind them, and they encompass nothing

of His knowledge, except what He wills;

His Seat extends over the heavens and the earth,

and He is never weary of preserving them both;

and He is the Most High, the Supreme. (Surah2: verse255)

Surah Baqarah 285-286: (Recite once)

آ أنزل إليو من ربو وال تبو ورسلو ال ن فرق ب ي أحد من رسلو وقالوا آمن الرسول ل آمن باهلل ومآلئكتو و مؤمن ون ر عنا وأطعنا غفرانك رب نا وإليك المصي س

The (Prophetic) Messenger believed

in what was revealed to him from his Lord,

and (so did) the believers; they all believed in Allāh

and His Angels and His Books and His (Prophetic) Messengers;

(they said) we make no distinction

between any of His (Prophetic) Messengers;

and they said: we hear and we obey,

(Grant us) Your forgiveness Our Lord,

and to You is the eventual return

تسبت رب نا ال ت ؤاخذنآ إن نس ها ما ا سبت وعلي نآ أو أخطأنا رب نا وال ال يكلف اهلل ن فسا إال وسعها لا ما ي نا إ ما حلتو على الذين من تمل علي لنا ماال طاقة لنا بو واعف عنا واغفر لنا وارحنآ ق بلنا رب نا وال صرا تم

أنت موالنا فانصرنا على القوم الكافرين Allāh does not place on any soul a burden

but to the extent of its capacity;

for it is (the benefit of) what it has earned,

and against it (the evil of) what it has wrought:

Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake,

Our Lord! Do not lay on us such a burden as You did lay

on those before us; Our Lord! Do not impose upon us

that which we do not have the strength to bear;

and pardon us and grant us forgiveness and have mercy on us,

You are our Protector, so help us against the unbelieving people.

death and He has Power over everything
