• 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

  Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa l-ḥayyu l-qayyūm, lā taʾkhudhuhu sinatun wa lā nawm…

  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)

• ﴿آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ … رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ، وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا، أَنْتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانْصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ﴾

  Āmana r-rasūlu bimā unzila ilayhi min rabbihi wa-l-muʾminūn…

  The last two verses of sūrat al-Baqarah: “The Messenger believes in what was revealed to him from his Lord …” Whoever recites them at night, they will suffice him.

  Bismika rabbī waḍaʿtu janbī wa bika arfaʿuh, fa-in amsakta nafsī fa-rḥamhā, wa in arsaltahā fa-ḥfaẓhā bimā taḥfaẓu bihi ʿibādaka ṣ-ṣāliḥīn

  In Your name, my Lord, I lay down my side, and by You I raise it. If You take my soul, have mercy on it; and if You return it, protect it as You protect Your righteous servants.

• اللَّهُمَّ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ، وَوَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي إِلَيْكَ، وَأَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ، رَغْبَةً وَرَهْبَةً إِلَيْكَ، لَا مَلْجَأَ وَلَا مَنْجَا مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، آمَنْتُ بِكِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ، وَبِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتَ

  Allāhumma aslamtu nafsī ilayk, wa fawwaḍtu amrī ilayk, wa wajjahtu wajhī ilayk, wa aljaʾtu ẓahrī ilayk…

  O Allah, I submit my soul to You, entrust my affair to You, turn my face to You and rest my back upon You — in hope of You and in fear of You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You revealed and in Your Prophet whom You sent. (Whoever dies that night dies upon the fiṭrah.)

  al-Bukhārī 6313, Muslim 2710

  Al-ḥamdu lillāhi lladhī aṭʿamanā wa saqānā wa kafānā wa āwānā, fa-kam mimman lā kāfiya lahu wa lā muʾwī

  All praise is due to Allah, who fed us and gave us drink, who sufficed us and gave us shelter — how many are there with none to suffice them and none to shelter them.

  Muslim 2715

• اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ … أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنَّا الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ

  Allāhumma rabba s-samāwāti s-sabʿ wa rabba l-ʿarshi l-ʿaẓīm… iqḍi ʿannā d-dayna wa aghninā mina l-faqr

  O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things … You are the First, so nothing is before You; the Last, so nothing is after You; the Manifest, so nothing is above You; the Hidden, so nothing is nearer than You. Settle our debt for us and free us from poverty.

  Muslim 2713

• الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَ مَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

  Al-ḥamdu lillāhi lladhī aḥyānā baʿda mā amātanā wa ilayhi n-nushūr
