Reciting the Three Qul Surahs Morning and Evening

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ. قُلْ هُوَ اللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ ، اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ ، لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُوْلَدْ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَّهُۥ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ. بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ. قُلْ أَعُوْذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ ، مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثَاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ. بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ. قُلْ أَعُوْذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ ، مَلِكِ النَّاسِ ، إِلٰهِ النَّاسِ ، مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ ، اَلَّذِيْ يُوَسْوِسُ فِيْ صُدُوْرِ النَّاسِ ، مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ.

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Say: He is Allah, One. Allah is the Eternal Refuge. He has not begotten, nor was He begotten, and there is none comparable to Him. In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, from the evil of what He has created, from the evil of darkness when it settles, from the evil of those who blow on knots, and from the evil of an envier when he envies. In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful. Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the God of mankind, from the evil of the whisperer who slinks away, who whispers in the hearts of mankind, from among the jinn and mankind.

Bismi-llāhi-r-raḥmāni-r-raḥīm. Qul huwa-llāhu aḥad. Allāhu-ṣ-ṣamad. Lam yalid wa-lam yūlad. Wa-lam yakun lahū kufuwan aḥad. Bismi-llāhi-r-raḥmāni-r-raḥīm. Qul aʿūdhu bi-rabbi-l-falaq. Min sharri mā khalaq. Wa-min sharri ghāsiqin idhā waqab. Wa-min sharri-n-naffāthāti fi-l-ʿuqad. Wa-min sharri ḥāsidin idhā ḥasad. Bismi-llāhi-r-raḥmāni-r-raḥīm. Qul aʿūdhu bi-rabbi-n-nās. Maliki-n-nās. Ilāhi-n-nās. Min sharri-l-waswāsi-l-khannās. Alladhī yuwaswisu fī ṣudūri-n-nās. Mina-l-jinnati wa-n-nās.

Forgive Us and Our Brothers in Faith

رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِيْنَ سَبَقُوْنَا بِالْإِيْمَانِ ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِيْ قُلُوْبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ رَءُوْفٌ رَّحِيْمٌ.

Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith, and do not place in our hearts any rancour toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.

Rabbanā-ghfir lanā wa-li-ikhwāninā-lladhīna sabaqūnā bi-l-īmān, wa-lā tajʿal fī qulūbinā ghillan li-lladhīna āmanū. Rabbanā innaka raʾūfun raḥīm.

رَبِّ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِيْنِ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَنْ يَّحْضُرُوْنِ.

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.

Seeking Help Through Allah's Mercy Morning and Evening

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيْثُ ، أَصْلِحْ لِيْ شَأْنِيْ كُلَّهُ ، وَلَا تَكِلْنِيْ إِلَىٰ نَفْسِيْ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ.

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

Help, Guidance and Repentance: Rabbi Aʿinnī

رَبِّ أَعِنِّيْ وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَيَّ ، وَانْصُرْنِيْ وَلَا تَنْصُرْ عَلَيَّ ، وَامْكُرْ لِيْ وَلَا تَمْكُرْ عَلَيَّ ، وَاهْدِنِيْ وَيَسِّرِ الْهُدَىٰ لِيْ ، وَانْصُرْنِيْ عَلَىٰ مَنْ بَغَىٰ عَلَيَّ ، رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِيْ لَكَ شَكَّارًا ، لَكَ ذَكَّارًا ، لَكَ رَهَّابًا ، لَكَ مِطْوَاعًا ، لَكَ مُخْبِتًا ، إِلَيْكَ أَوَّاهًا مُّنِيْبًا ، رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِيْ ، وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِيْ ، وَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِيْ ، وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِيْ ، وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِيْ ، وَاهْدِ قَلْبِيْ ، وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيْمَةَ صَدْرِيْ

My Lord, help me and do not help others against me; give me victory and do not give others victory over me; plan for me and do not plan against me; guide me and make guidance easy for me; and give me victory over whoever wrongs me. My Lord, make me ever thankful to You, ever remembering You, full of awe of You, most obedient to You, humble before You, and turning to You often in sorrow and repentance. My Lord, accept my repentance, wash away my sin, answer my prayer, make my argument firm, set my tongue straight, guide my heart, and draw out the rancour from my chest.

Asking for Contentment, Blessing and Good Replacement

اَللّٰهُمَّ قَنِّعْنِيْ بِمَا رَزَقْتَنِيْ ، وَبَارِكْ لِيْ فِيْهِ ، وَاخْلُفْ عَلَيٰ كُلِّ غَائِبَةٍ لِّيْ بِخَيْرٍ

O Allah, make me content with what You have provided me, bless me in it, and replace for me everything of mine that is absent with something good.

Allāhumma qanniʿnī bimā razaqtanī, wa bārik lī fīhi, wa-khluf ʿalā kulli ghāʾibatin lī bikhayr.
