• اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ، لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ، لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ، مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ، يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ، وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ، وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ، وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا، وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ

  Allah — there is no god but Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth … His Kursī extends over the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent.

  Qur'an 2:255 (Āyat al-Kursī)

• ﴿قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ …﴾ ﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ …﴾ ﴿قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ …﴾

  The three protective sūrahs (al-Ikhlāṣ, al-Falaq, an-Nās), three times each. Whoever says them morning and evening, they will suffice him in everything.

  We have entered the evening, and the dominion belongs to Allah; all praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner; His is the dominion and the praise, and He has power over all things. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good that follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil that follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the misery of old age; my Lord, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.
