O Allah, all praise belongs to You. O Allah, no one can withhold what You have expanded, and no one can expand what You have withheld. No one can guide whom You allow to go astray, and no one can mislead whom You guide. No one can give what You prevent, and no one can prevent what You give. O Allah, cause us to die as Muslims and give us life as Muslims. O Allah, deal with those who deny Your messengers and block others from Your path, O God of Truth.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from senility, from death by falling from a height or being crushed to death; from dying of sorrow, being burnt or drowning to death. I seek Your protection from being struck by shayṭān at the time of death and that I am killed. I seek Your protection from dying whilst I am fleeing from the battlefield. I seek Your protection from dying from a venomous sting.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from the evil of what I have done, and from the evil of what I have not done.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from hunger, as it is indeed an evil companion and I seek Your protection from treachery, as it is an evil confidante.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from bad days, bad nights, bad moments, bad companions, and from bad neighbours in (permanent) places of residence.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from an evil neighbour; from a spouse who will age me ahead of time; from a child who will rule over me; from wealth that will become a punishment for me; from a cunning friend whose eyes see me yet his heart keeps guard over me: if he sees any good, he conceals it and if he sees any bad, he announces it.

O Allah, unite our hearts, set aright our relationships, and guide us to the paths of peace. Bring us out of darknesses into light and protect us from evident and hidden obscenities. Bless us in our hearing, our sight, our hearts, our spouses and our children. Accept our repentance. Indeed, You truly are the Acceptor of repentance, the Ever-Merciful. Make us of those who are grateful for Your blessings, who praise You for them and acknowledge them. Perfect (the blessings) and make them last forever for us.

O Allah, we beg You for the good which Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asked from You. We seek Your protection from the evil which Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sought protection for from You. You are the One whose assistance is sought and You are the Only One who provides and suffices. There is no power (to avert evil) nor strength (to do good) except by Allah.
