Guidance & Protection from Evil

Allāhumma laka aslamtu wa bika āmant, wa ʿalayka tawakkaltu wa ilayka anabtu wa bika khaṣamt, Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bi-ʿizzatika lā ilāha illā Anta an tuḍillannī, Anta-l-Ḥayyu-l-ladhī lā yamūt, wa-l-jinnu wa-l-insu yamūtūn.

O Allah, to You Alone I submit, in You Alone I believe, upon You Alone I place my trust, to You Alone I turn repeatedly in repentance, and for You Alone I advocate. O Allah, I seek protection – with Your honour, there is no god worthy of worship except You – from misguidance. You are the Ever-Living who does not die, whereas the jinn and mankind die.

Ya Muqallibal-qulub, thabbit qalbi ‘ala dinik

O Turner of hearts, make my heart firm upon Your religion.

Allāhumma Rabba Jabrā’īla wa Mīkā’īla wa Rabba Isrāfīl, aʿūdhu bika min ḥarri-n-Nār, wa min ʿadhābil-qabr.

O Allah, Lord of Jabrā’īl and Mīkā’īl, and the Lord of Isrāfīl, I seek Your protection from the heat of the Hell-fire and from the punishment of the grave.

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ḍīqi-d-dunyā wa ḍīqi yawmi-l-qiyāmah.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from the anguish of the world and the anguish of the Day of Judgement.

Allāhumma aḥsin ʿāqibatanā fi-l-umūri kullihā, wa ajirnā min khizyi-d-dunyā wa ʿadhābi-l-ākhirah.

O Allah, grant us the best outcome in all of our affairs, and protect us from the humiliation of this world and the punishment of the hereafter.

Allāhumma Rabba Jabrā’īla, wa Mīkā’īla, wa Isrāfīl, fāṭira-s-samāwāti wa-l-arḍ, ʿālima-l-ghaybi wa-sh-shahādah, Anta taḥkumu bayna ʿibādika fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn, ihdinī lima-khtulifa fīhi mina-l-ḥaqqi bi-idhnik, innaka tahdī man tashā’u ilā Ṣirāṭi-m-Mustaqīm.

O Allah, Lord of Jabrā’īl, Mīkā’īl and Isrāfīl, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and seen; You will judge between Your servants in what they used to differ. Guide me in what is contentious to the truth, by Your will. Indeed, You guide whomsoever You wish to a straight path.
