((اللَّهُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ
لاَ تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلاَ نَوْمٌ

يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ
وَلاَ يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلاَّ بِمَا شَاء
وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ

Allah! There is none worthy of worship but He, the Ever-Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists.
Neither slumber nor sleep overtakes Him.
To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth.
Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission?
He knows what happens to them in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter.
And they will never encompass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills.
His Throne extends over the heavens and the earth,
and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.
And He is the Most High, the Most Great.

Reference:
Al-Baqarah 2:255. Whoever reads this when he lies down to sleep will have a
guardian from Allah remain with him and Satan will not be able to come near
him until he rises in the morning. See Al-Bukhari, cf. Al-Asqalani,
Fathul-Bari 4/487.

Take me to Your care with those whom You have taken to Your care.
Bless me in what You have given me.
Protect me from the evil You have ordained.

You are Blessed, Our Lord, and Exalted.

The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and so do the believers.
Each one believes in Allah, His Angels, His Books, and His Messengers.
They say: “We make no distinction between any of His Messengers,”
and they say: “We hear, and we obey.
(We seek) Your Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the return.”
Allah burdens not a person beyond what he can bear.
He gets rewarded for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned.
Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error.
Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us.
Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have the strength to bear.
Pardon us and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us.
You are our Protector, and help us against the disbelieving people.
