O Reliever of worry! O Remover of grief! O Merciful in this world and the next and Compassionate in both! Bless Muhammad and his Household, relieve my worry, and remove my grief!

يَا وَاحِدُ يَا اَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهٗ كُفُواً اَحَدٌ، اعْصِمْنِي وَطَهِّرْنِي، وَاذْهَبْ بِبَلِيَّتِي

O One, O Unique, O Eternal Refuge! O He Who has not begotten, nor has been begotten, and equal to Him is not any one! Preserve me, purify me, and take away my affliction!

Here recite [Ayat al-Kursi](A4), [Surah al-Falaq](A117), [Surah al-Nas](A118) and [Surah al-Tawhid](A116), then continue:

اللَّهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْاَلُكَ سُؤَالَ مَنِ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتُهٗ، وَضَعُفَتْ قُوَّتُهٗ، وَكَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُهٗ، سُؤَالَ مَنْ لَا يَجِدُ لِفَاقَتِهٖ مُغِيثاً، وَلَا لِضَعْفِهٖ مُقَوِّياً، وَلَا لِذَنْبِهٖ غَافِراً غَيْرَكَ، يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْاِكْرَامِ اَسْاَلُكَ عَمَلًا تُحِبُّ بِهٖ مَنْ عَمِلَ بِهٖ، وَيَقِيناً تَنْفَعُ بِهٖ مَنِ اسْتَيْقَنَ بِهٖ حَقَّ الْيَقِينَ فِي نَفَاذِ اَمْرِكَ

O God, I ask Thee with the asking of him whose neediness is intense, whose strength is frail, whose sins are many, the asking of one who finds no helper in his neediness, no strengthener in his frailty, no forgiver of his sin other than Thee, O Possessor of majesty and munificence! I ask of Thee a work through which Thou wilt love him who works it and a certainty by which Thou wilt profit him who is certain with the truth of certainty concerning the execution of Thy command!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَاقْبِضْ عَلَى الصِّدْقِ نَفْسِي، وَاقْطَعْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَاجَتِي، وَاجْعَلْ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ رَغْبَتِي شَوْقاً اِلَى لِقَائِكَ، وَهَبْ لِي صِدْقَ التَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ

O God, bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, take my soul while it is firm in sincerity, cut off my need for this world, make my desire for what is with Thee become a yearning to meet Thee, and give me true confidence in Thee!

اَسْاَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ كِتَابٍ قَدْ خَلَا، وَاَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كِتَابٍ قَدْ خَلَا، اَسْاَلُكَ خَوْفَ الْعَابِدِينَ لَكَ، وَعِبَادَةَ الْخَاشِعِينَ لَكَ، وَيَقِينَ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْكَ، وَتَوَكُّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْكَ

I ask of Thee the good of the writ that has been made and I seek refuge with Thee from the evil of the writ that has been made. I ask of Thee the fear of the worshipers, the worship of those humbly fearful of Thee, the certainty of those who have confidence in Thee, and the confidence of those who have faith in Thee.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ رَغْبَتِي فِي مَسْاَلَتِي مِثْلَ رَغْبَةِ اَوْلِيَائِكَ فِي مَسَائِلِهِمْ، وَرَهْبَتِي مِثْلَ رَهْبَةِ اَوْلِيَائِكَ، وَاسْتَعْمِلْنِي فِي مَرْضَاتِكَ عَمَلًا لَا اَتْرُكُ مَعَهٗ شَيْئاً مِنْ دِينِكَ مَخَافَةَ اَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

O God, make my desire in my asking like the desire of Thy friends in their asking, and my fear like the fear of Thy friends! Employ me in Thy good pleasure through works in which I will not leave aside anything of Thy religion fearing any of Thy creatures!

اللَّهُمَّ هٰذِهِ حَاجَتِي فَاَعْظِمْ فِيهَا رَغْبَتِي، وَاَظْهِرْ فِيهَا عُذْرِي، وَلَقِّنِّي فِيهَا حُجَّتِي، وَعَافِ فِيهَا جَسَدِي

O God, this is my need, so make my desire for it great, within it make manifest my excuse, through it instil me with my argument, and by means of it make well my body!

اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ اَصْبَحَ لَهٗ ثِقَةٌ اَوْ رَجَاءٌ غَيْرُكَ، فَقَدْ اَصْبَحْتُ وَاَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَرَجَائِي فِي الْاُمُورِ كُلِّهَا، فَاقْضِ لِي بِخَيْرِهَا عَاقِبَةً، وَنَجِّنِي مِنْ مَضَلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O God, some rise in the morning having trust or hope in other than Thee. I rise in the morning, and Thou art my trust and my hope in all affairs, so decree for me those which are best in outcome and deliver me from misguiding trials, O Most Merciful of the merciful!
