Night Prayer Opening: Guide Me to the Truth
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جَبْرَائِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ ، فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ ، أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ ، اِهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ ، إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَآءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ.

- O Allah, Lord of Jabrāʾīl, Mīkāʾīl and Isrāfīl, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the witnessed: You judge between Your servants in what they used to differ over. Guide me, by Your leave, to the truth in what has been differed over; indeed You guide whom You will to a straight path.
