Evening Dhikr

ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

We have entered the evening and the dominion belongs to Allah, and all praise is for Allah. There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him is praise, and He is over all things competent. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the evil of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the Fire and the punishment of the grave.

اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا، وَبِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا،وَبِكَ نَحْيَا، وَبِكَ نَمُوتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيْرُ

O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no deity worthy of worship except You, You created me and I am Your servant. I will be true to my covenant and promise to You as much as I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favor upon me and I acknowledge my sin, therefore, forgive me. Indeed, there is no one who can forgive sins except You.

اَللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِيْ فِيْ بَدَنِيْ ، اَللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِيْ فِيْ سَمْعِيْ ، اَللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِيْ فِيْ بَصَرِيْ ، لَا إِلَـهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِوَالْفَقْرِ ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ، لَا إِلَـهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

O Allah, protect my body (from illness and from what I do not want). O Allah, protect my hearing (from illness and disobedience or from what I do not want). O Allah, protect my sight, there is no deity worthy of worship except You. O Allah, indeed I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, there is no deity worthy of worship except You.

O Allah, indeed I ask You for well-being and safety in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, indeed I ask You for well-being and safety in my religion, my world, my family and my wealth. O Allah, cover my flaws (faults and things that are not appropriate for others to see) and calm me from fear. O Allah, protect me from the front, behind, right, left and above me. I seek refuge in Your greatness, so that I am not snatched from below me (by snakes or swallowed by the earth, etc., which would cause me to fall).

اَللَّهُمَّ عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَاْلأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمَلِيْكَهُ، أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَـهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، أَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِيْ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَشِرْكِهِ، وَأَنْ أَقْتَرِفَ عَلَى نَفْسِيْ سُوْءًا أَوْ أَجُرَّهُ إِلَى مُسْلِمٍ

O Allah, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Lord of all things and their Sovereign. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except You.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِى لاَ يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَىْءٌ فِى الأَرْضِ وَلاَ فِى السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
