Despairing

O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the next. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly life, my family and my wealth. O Allah, cover my faults and calm my fears. O Allah, protect me from in front of me, from behind me, from my right, from my left and from above me; and I seek refuge in Your greatness from being struck down unseen from beneath me.

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-ʿāfiyata fi-d-dunyā wa-l-ākhira. Allāhumma innī asʾaluka-l-ʿafwa wa-l-ʿāfiyata fī dīnī wa-dunyāya wa-ahlī wa-mālī. Allāhumma-stur ʿawrātī wa-āmin rawʿātī. Allāhumma-ḥfaẓnī min bayni yadayya wa-min khalfī wa-ʿan yamīnī wa-ʿan shimālī wa-min fawqī, wa-aʿūdhu bi-ʿaẓamatika an ughtāla min taḥtī.

Allah is enough for me. There is no god but Him. In Him I have placed my trust, and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne.

Ḥasbiya-llāhu lā ilāha illā huwa, ʿalayhi tawakkaltu, wa-huwa rabbu-l-ʿarshi-l-ʿaẓīm.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful. Praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, Master of the Day of Recompense. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path, the path of those You have favoured, not of those who earned anger, nor of those who went astray.

Bismi-llāhi-r-raḥmāni-r-raḥīm. Al-ḥamdu li-llāhi rabbi-l-ʿālamīn. Ar-raḥmāni-r-raḥīm. Māliki yawmi-d-dīn. Iyyāka naʿbudu wa-iyyāka nastaʿīn. Ihdinā-ṣ-ṣirāṭa-l-mustaqīm. Ṣirāṭa-lladhīna anʿamta ʿalayhim ghayri-l-maghḍūbi ʿalayhim wa-lā-ḍ-ḍāllīn.

My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the whisperings of the devils, and I seek refuge in You, my Lord, lest they be present with me.

Rabbi aʿūdhu bika min hamazāti-sh-shayāṭīn, wa aʿūdhu bika rabbi an yaḥḍurūn.

My Lord, harm has touched me, and You are the most merciful of those who show mercy.

Rabbi annī massaniya-ḍ-ḍurru wa anta arḥamu-r-rāḥimīn

O Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining, I seek help through Your mercy. Set right all my affairs for me, and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.

Yā ḥayyu yā qayyūmu, bi-raḥmatika astaghīthu, aṣliḥ lī shaʾnī kullahu, wa-lā takilnī ilā nafsī ṭarfata ʿayn

O Allah, by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over creation, keep me alive as long as You know life to be good for me, and take me when You know death to be good for me. O Allah, I ask You for awe of You in the unseen and the seen, for the word of truth in contentment and anger, and for moderation in poverty and wealth. I ask You for bliss that does not run out, and for a delight of the eye that does not cease. I ask You for contentment after the decree, for a cool, easy life after death, for the pleasure of looking at Your Face, and for longing to meet You, without harmful hardship or misleading trial. O Allah, adorn us with the adornment of faith and make us guides who are themselves guided.

Allāhumma bi-ʿilmika-l-ghayba, wa-qudratika ʿalā-l-khalqi, aḥyinī mā ʿalimta-l-ḥayāta khayran lī, wa-tawaffanī idhā ʿalimta-l-wafāta khayran lī. Allāhumma wa-asʾaluka khashyataka fi-l-ghaybi wa-sh-shahādati, wa-asʾaluka kalimata-l-ḥaqqi fi-r-riḍā wa-l-ghaḍabi, wa-asʾaluka-l-qaṣda fi-l-faqri wa-l-ghinā, wa-asʾaluka naʿīman lā yanfadu, wa-asʾaluka qurrata ʿaynin lā tanqaṭiʿu, wa-asʾaluka-r-riḍā baʿda-l-qaḍāʾi, wa-asʾaluka barda-l-ʿayshi baʿda-l-mawti, wa-asʾaluka ladhdhata-n-naẓari ilā wajhika, wa-sh-shawqa ilā liqāʾika, fī ghayri ḍarrāʾa muḍirratin, wa-lā fitnatin muḍillatin. Allāhumma zayyinnā bi-zīnati-l-īmāni, wa-jʿalnā hudātan muhtadīn

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice, and I seek refuge in You from being sent back to the most worthless stage of life, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of this world, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave.

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika mina-l-bukhli, wa aʿūdhu bika mina-l-jubni, wa aʿūdhu bika an uradda ilā ardhali-l-ʿumri, wa aʿūdhu bika min fitnati-d-dunyā, wa aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi-l-qabr.

O Allah, I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand; Your command concerning me is carried out; Your decree concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that is Yours, by which You named Yourself, or taught to any of Your creation, or sent down in Your Book, or kept for Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You: make the Qur’an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the clearing away of my grief and the departure of my worry.

Allāhumma innī ʿabduka, wabnu ʿabdika, wabnu amatika, nāṣiyatī biyadika, māḍin fiyya ḥukmuka, ʿadlun fiyya qaḍāʾuka, asʾaluka bikulli-smin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw ʿallamtahu aḥadan min khalqika, aw anzaltahu fī kitābika, awi-staʾtharta bihi fī ʿilmi-l-ghaybi ʿindaka, an tajʿala-l-qurʾāna rabīʿa qalbī, wa nūra ṣadrī, wa jalāʾa ḥuznī, wa dhahāba hammī

There is no god but Allah, the Great, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no god but Allah, Lord of the heavens, Lord of the earth, and Lord of the Noble Throne.

Lā ilāha illa-llāhu-l-ʿaẓīmu-l-ḥalīm. Lā ilāha illa-llāhu rabbu-l-ʿarshi-l-ʿaẓīm. Lā ilāha illa-llāhu rabbu-s-samāwāti wa rabbu-l-arḍi wa rabbu-l-ʿarshi-l-karīm

O Allah, keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and take me when death is better for me.

O Allah, it is Your mercy I hope for, so do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye. and set right for me all my affairs. There is no god but You.

Allāhumma raḥmataka arjū, fa-lā takilnī ilā nafsī ṭarfata ʿayn, wa-aṣliḥ lī shaʾnī kullahu, lā ilāha illā ant.
