Morning & evening

Sayyid al-Istighfar — the best way to seek forgiveness

اللّٰهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ، وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ، أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ، وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي، فَاغْفِرْ لِي، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Allahumma anta Rabbi la ilaha illa ant, khalaqtani wa ana ‘abduk, wa ana ‘ala ‘ahdika wa wa‘dika mastata‘t, a‘udhu bika min sharri ma sana‘t, abu’u laka bi-ni‘matika ‘alayya, wa abu’u laka bi-dhanbi, faghfir li, fa-innahu la yaghfirudh-dhunuba illa ant
O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant, and I keep Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favour upon me and I acknowledge my sin, so forgive me, for none forgives sins but You.
Bukhari 6306 — whoever says it with certainty in the day and dies before evening, or at night and dies before morning, is of the people of Paradise.

Protection by the name of Allah (3 times)

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ، وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma‘asmihi shai’un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama’i, wa huwas-Sami‘ul-‘Alim
In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing on earth or in the heavens can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
Abu Dawud 5088, Tirmidhi 3388 — said three times morning and evening, nothing will harm him.

Contentment with Allah, Islam and the Prophet ﷺ (3 times)

رَضِيتُ بِاللّٰهِ رَبًّا، وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا، وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ نَبِيًّا
Raditu billahi Rabba, wa bil-Islami dina, wa bi-Muhammadin ﷺ nabiyya
I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion and Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet.
Abu Dawud 5072, Tirmidhi 3389

Morning remembrance (in the evening say “amsayna wa amsal-mulku lillah”)

أَصْبَحْنَا وَأَصْبَحَ الْمُلْكُ لِلّٰهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Asbahna wa asbahal-mulku lillah, wal-hamdu lillah, la ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ‘ala kulli shai’in qadir
We have reached the morning and so has the dominion of Allah; praise be to Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, without partner; His is the dominion and the praise, and He has power over all things.
Muslim 2723

O Ever-Living, O Sustainer

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ، أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ، وَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ
Ya Hayyu ya Qayyum, bi-rahmatika astaghith, aslih li sha’ni kullahu, wa la takilni ila nafsi tarfata ‘ain
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help: set right all my affairs and do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye.
al-Hakim 2000 (hasan)

Allah is sufficient for me

فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَقُلْ حَسْبِىَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ ١٢٩Fa in tawallaw faqul lhasbiyal laahu laaa ilaaha illaa Huwa 'alaihi tawakkkaltu wa Huwa Rabbul 'Arshil 'AzeemBut if they turn away, [O Muhammad], say, "Sufficient for me is Allah; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne."Surah At-Tawbah 9:129
