I tie myself with the cord of Allah who is such that: there is no god but He, the ultimate cause, the only. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, the Ever-Alert, taking notice of how and why people earn a living, gather riches, and acquire knowledge. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He. He said to the heavens and the earth: “Come both, willingly or unwillingly. They both said: We come willingly.” I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, neither slumber takes hold of Him, nor sleep. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, the Beneficent, occupies the immaculate Throne, aware of the furtive glances, and secret thoughts. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, to He belongs whatsoever is in the heavens, and whatsoever is in the earth, and whatsoever is between them, and whatsoever is beneath the ground. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, sees, but is not seen, and He occupies the most sublime view, the Lord of the end and the beginning. I take refuge with Allah, there is not god but He, everything is humble before His Kingdom. I take refuge with Allah, there is not god but He, bows down everything before His greatness. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, near in His remoteness, far away in His nearness, and absolute in His authority. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, the Originator, the Sublime, the Everliving, The Everlasting, the Eternal, who never ceases to exist. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, words cannot define or describe the measure and dimension of His authority. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, the Everliving, the Everlasting, neither slumber takes hold of Him, nor sleep. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, the Compassionate, the Liberal Benefactor, the Lord of Majesty and Glory. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, the One and only Single, the Independent Everlasting Lord, “He begets not, nor is He begotten. And none is like Him.” I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, the most Kind, the most Great, the most High. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, in His hand is all good, and He is able to do all things. I take refuge with Allah; There is no god but He, Glorify Him whosoever is in the heavens and the earth; all are obedient to Him. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, the Everliving Wise, the Hearing, the Knowing, the Beneficent, the Merciful. I take refuge with Allah; there is no god but He, on Him I rely, He is the Lord of the great Arsh. In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Allah! I ask for Your help; and Your are aware of my problems, I am referring to You, and You are aware of my needs and wants, I long for, and You are the ultimate purpose of my desires, O the Knower of the unseen, the Raiser of the skies, the Disperser of the calamities! Needs and wants are in search of You, the Answerer of prayers and requests, send blessings on Muhammad, the last prophet, and on his pure and pious children. O Allah! Forgive me my mistakes and my over indulgence, in all my affairs altogether, and that which You know better than me. O Allah! Forgive me my errors and mistakes, (committed) willfully and out of ignorance, frivolously and seriously, because all these are done by me. O Allah! Forgive me that which has already been done, that which will be done, that which is done secretly, that which is done openly. You are the Former (The Eternal), You are the Final (The Everliving), You are able to do all things.
وَ اَیُّ عَبْدٍ لَکَ لَا اَلَمَّا اِنْ تَغْفِرِ اللّٰہُمَّ تَغْفِرْ جَمًّا
In Taghferil Laahumma Taghfir Jamman Wa Ayyo A’bdin Laka Laa Alamma
If You forgives, O Allah! Forgive fully, for,who, among Your servants, has not made mistakes?
