O The Ever Living, The One Who sustains and protects all that exists; I seek assistance through Your mercy. Rectify all of my affairs and do not entrust me to myself for the blink of an eye.

Anas b. Malik (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that the Prophet said to Fatimah: “What is stopping you from listening to what I am advising you; that you say [the above] every morning and evening.” (Nasā’ī 10405)

اَللّٰهُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ بِيْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ

O Allah, all the favours that I or anyone from Your creation has received in the morning, are from You Alone. You have no partner. To You Alone belong all praise and all thanks.

Allāhumma mā aṣbaḥa bī min niʿmatin aw bi-aḥadim-min khalqik, fa-minka waḥdaka lā sharīka lak, fa laka-l-ḥamdu wa laka-sh-shukr.

Abdullah ibn Ghannam (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrates that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever says [the above] in the morning has fulfilled his obligation to thank Allah for that day. And whoever says it in the evening has fulfilled his obligation for that night.” (Abū Dāwūd 5073)

أَصْبَحْنَا عَلَىٰ فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ ، وَعَلَىٰ كَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ ، وَعَلَىٰ دِيْنِ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَعَلَىٰ مِلَّةِ أَبِيْنَا إِبْرَاهِيْمَ حَنِيْفًا مُسْلِمًا وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِيْنَ

We have entered the morning upon the natural religion of Islam, the word of pure faith (i.e. Shahādah), the religion of our Prophet Muhammad and upon the way of our father Ibrāhīm, who turned away from all that is false, having surrendered to Allah, and he was not of the polytheists.

Aṣbaḥnā ʿalā fiṭrati-l-islām. wa ʿalā kalimati-l-ikhlāṣ, wa ʿalā dīni Nabiyyinā Muḥammadin ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wa sallam, wa ʿalā millati abīnā Ibrāhīma ḥanīfam-muslima, wa mā kāna min-l-mushrikīn.

We have entered the morning and at this very time the whole kingdom belongs to Allah. All praise is due to Allah. There is no god but Allah, the One; He has no partner with Him. The entire kingdom belongs solely to Him, to Him is all praise due, and He is All-Powerful over everything. My Lord, I ask You for the good that is in this day and the good that follows it, and I seek Your protection from the evil that is in this day and from the evil that follows it. My Lord, I seek Your protection from laziness and the misery of old age. My Lord, I seek Your protection from the torment of the Hell-fire and the punishment of the grave.

We have entered the morning and at this very time the whole kingdom belongs to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this day: its victory, its help, its light, and its blessings and guidance. I seek Your protection from the evil that is in it and from the evil that follows it.

Aṣbaḥnā wa aṣbaḥa-l-mulku li-llāhi Rabbi-l-ʿālamīn, Allāhumma innī as’aluka khayra hādha-l-yawm, fatḥahū wa naṣrahū wa nūrahū wa barakatahū wa hudāhū, wa aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā fīhi wa sharri mā baʿdah.
