اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِي أَحْيَانَا بَعْدَمَا أَمَاتَنَا وَإِلَيْهِ النُّشُورُ

We have entered the morning, as has the dominion, belonging to Allah, Grandeur and might belong to Allah, Magnificence and power belong to Allah. We have entered the morning upon the natural faith of submission, upon the Word of Sincerity, in the religion of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and the nation of our Father Abraham, a pure monotheist & one who submitted to Allah, who was not of the idolaters.

أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلّٰهِ ، وَالْعَظَمَةُ وَالسُّلْطَانُ لِلّٰهِ ، وَالْعِزَّةُ وَالْقُدْرَةُ لِلّٰهِ ، أَصْبَحْنَا عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ ، وَعَلَى كَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ ، وَعَلَى دِيْنِ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيهِ وسَلَّمَ ، وَعَلى مِلَّةِ أَبِيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيْمَ حَنِيْفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ

O Allah, by You we enter the morning, and by You we enter the evening. By You we live and by You we die, and the resurrection is to You. O Allah, we ask You to send us to every good thing this day, and we seek Your protection from doing evil this day, from bringing it upon a Muslim, or from anyone bringing on us. We ask You for the good of this day, and the best of what it holds, and we seek refuge with You from the evil of this day, and the evil of what it holds.

اَللّٰهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا، وَبِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا ، وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ، وإِلَيْكَ النُّشُوْرُ ، اَللّٰهُمَّ إنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَبْعَثَنَا فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ إِلَى كُلِّ خَيْرٍ ، وَنَعُوْذُ بِكَ أَنْ نَجْتَرِحَ فِيْهِ سُوْءًا أَوْ نَجُرَّهُ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ أَوْ يَجُرَّهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَيْنَا ، نَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهِ ، وَنَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهِ

Praise be to Allah who has clothed me and provided me with this (garment) without ability or power on my part.

O my Lord, purify my heart from hypocrisy, and keep my private parts from wrong action.
