O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave and son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand, Your judgment is executed upon me, Your decree is just. I ask You by every name which belongs to You, by which You named Yourself, or revealed in Your Book, or taught to anyone of Your creation, or kept to Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen with You, to make the Quran the spring of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sadness and the reliever of my distress.

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from being crushed by a collapsing building, and I seek refuge in You from falling from a height, and I seek refuge in You from drowning, burning and decrepit old age. I seek refuge in You from Shaytan confusing me at the time of death, I seek refuge in You from dying while fleeing from Your path, and I seek refuge in You from dying of a poisonous sting.
رَبَّنَا أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ هَٰذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا وَاجْعَل لَّنَا مِن لَّدُنكَ نَصِيرًا

My Lord, prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. And if You do not avert from me their plan, I might incline toward them and [thus] be of the ignorant.
لَن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

O Allah, to You I have submitted, in You I believe, upon You I rely, to You I turn, and for You I dispute. O Allah, I seek refuge in Your might — there is no god but You — from Your letting me go astray. You are the Ever-Living who does not die, while jinn and mankind die.
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرَائِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَرَبَّ إِسْرَافِيلَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ حَرِّ النَّارِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ
O Allah, Lord of Jibril and Mika'il and Lord of Israfil, I seek refuge in You from the heat of the Fire and from the punishment of the grave.
