أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ السَّمِيعِ العَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ﴿١﴾ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّـهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ﴿٢﴾الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴿٣﴾مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ﴿٤﴾إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ ﴿٥﴾اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ ﴿٦﴾صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ ﴿٧﴾

I seek refuge with Allāh, the All-Hearer, the All-Knower, from the rejected satan.
In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious; the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allāh, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds; the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful; Master of the Day of Judgement. You alone do we worship, and Your help alone do we seek. Guide us to the Straight Path. The path on those whom You have favored, not of those who have incurred Your wrath nor of those who are astray. (Quran, 1:1-7)

﴿ بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ﴾
الم ﴿١﴾ ذَٰلِكَ الْكِتَابُ لَا رَيْبَ ۛ فِيهِ ۛ هُدًى لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ ﴿٢﴾الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَيُقِيمُونَ الصَّلَاةَ وَمِمَّا رَزَقْنَاهُمْ يُنفِقُونَ ﴿٣﴾ وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا أُنزِلَ مِن قَبْلِكَ وَبِالْآخِرَةِ هُمْ يُوقِنُونَ ﴿٤﴾ أُولَـٰئِكَ عَلَىٰ هُدًى مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ ۖ وَأُولَـٰئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ ﴿٥﴾

In the name of Allāh, the Most Gracious; the Most Merciful. Alif Lam Mim. This is the Book in which there is no doubt, in it is guidance for those who fear (Allāh). Who believe in the unseen, establish the ritual prayer, and spend out of what We have given them. And who believe in that which is sent down to you, and that which was sent down before you, and have certain faith in the Hereafter. They are on true guidance from their Lord, and it is they who are successful. (Quran, 2:1-5)

3. Ayat al-Kursi

اللَّـهُ لَا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ ﴿٢٥٥﴾ لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِّ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِن بِاللَّـهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَىٰ لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا وَاللَّـهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ﴿٢٥٦﴾ اللَّـهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَوْلِيَاؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِ أُولَـٰئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ ﴿٢٥٧﴾

Allāh! There is no god but He, the Living, the Sustainer. Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him. His is what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission ? He knows what is before them and behind them and they can grasp only that part of His knowledge He wills. His Throne embraces the heavens and the earth and it tires Him not to uphold both. For He is the Most High, the Formidable. Let there be no compulsion in religion. True guidance has become distinct from error. But whoever disbelieves in false gods and believes in Allāh, has grasped the most strong handhold that will never break. And Allāh is Hearing, Knowing. Allāh is the Protector of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness and into light. As for those who disbelieve, their supporters will be false gods, who bring them out of the light into darkness. Such are the dwellers of the Fire, abiding therein perpetually. (Quran, 2:255)

4. Last verses of Surah al-Baqarah - Sufficiency for the believer

لِّلَّـهِ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِن تُبْدُوا مَا فِي أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ يُحَاسِبْكُم بِهِ اللَّـهُ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَن يَشَاءُ وَيُعَذِّبُ مَن يَشَاءُ وَاللَّـهُ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ ﴿٢٨٤﴾ آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّـهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ ﴿٢٨٥﴾ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّـهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ﴿٢٨٦﴾

To Allāh belongs all that the heavens and all that the earth contain. Whether you make known what is in your souls or hide it, Allāh will bring you to account for it. He forgives whom He will and punishes whom He will; Allāh has power over all things. The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him by his Lord, and so do the believers. They all believe in Allāh and His angels, His books and His Messengers: “We make no distinction (they say) between any of His Messengers.” And they say: “We hear and we obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord; to You is the end of all journeys.” On no soul does Allāh place a burden greater than it can bear. It shall be requited for whatever good and whatever evil it has done: “Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector; so give us victory over the disbelieving people. (Quran, 2:284-87)

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْقُلُوبَ قَدْ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى مَحَبَّتِكَ
وَالْتَقَتْ عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ
وَتَوَحَّدَتْ عَلَى دَعْوَتِكَ
وَتَعَاهَدَتْ عَلَى نُصْرَةِ شَرِيعَتِكَ

اللَّهُمَّ آمِين
وَصَلِّ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ

Say: “O Allah. Lord of Power and Rule, You grant power to whom You please, and You take power away from whom You please. You endow with honor whom You please, and You abase whom You please. In Your hand is all good. Verily, You have power over all things. You cause the night to envelop the day, and You cause the day to envelop the night; You bring the Living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living; and You give sustenance to whom You please, without measure.”

O Allah, this is the coming of Your night and the turning away of Your day and the voices of the callers to You, so forgive me.

O Allah, You know that these hearts have come together in loving You, met together in Your obedience, united for Your message, and entered together in a covenant to support Your way. O Allah, strengthen the bonds between these hearts, make permanent the affection between them, guide them to their paths, fill them with Your light that never diminishes, comfort their hearts with the flood of faith in You, and a beautiful trust in You, keep them alive with knowledge of You, and give them their death in martyrdom for You. Truly You are the best protector and the best to give victory. O Allah. Ameen.
