‘O Allah, verily You have created my soul and You shall take its life, to You belongs its life
and death. If You should keep my soul alive then protect it, and if You should take its life
then forgive it. O Allah, I ask You to grant me good health.’

‘O Allah, Knower of the seen and the unseen, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Lord
and Sovereign of all things I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except
You. I take refuge in You from the evil of my soul and from the evil and shirk of the devil,
and from committing wrong against my soul or bringing such upon another Muslim.’ shirk:
to associate others with Allah in those things which are specific to Him. This can occur in (1)
belief, e.g. to believe that other than Allah has the power to benefit or harm, (2) speech,
e.g. to swear by other than Allah and (3) action, e.g. to bow or prostrate to other than
Allah.

‘O Allah, I submit my soul unto You, and I entrust my affair unto You, and I turn my face
towards You, and I totally rely on You, in hope and fear of You. Verily there is no refuge nor
safe haven from You except with You. I believe in Your Book which You have revealed and
in Your Prophet whom You have sent.’
