Refuge in the Lord of humankind
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of humankind, the King of humankind, the God of humankind, from the evil of the retreating whisperer who whispers into people’s hearts, from among jinn and people.

Light all around me
O Allah, place light in my heart, light in my tongue, light in my hearing and light in my sight. Place light above me and below me, on my right and on my left, before me and behind me. Place light within my soul. Make my light great, magnify my light, give me light, and make me a light. O Allah, grant me light. Place light in my nerves, in my flesh, in my blood, in my hair and in my skin.

His most beautiful names
He is Allah: there is no god but Him, Knower of the unseen and the seen. He is the Most Merciful, the Giver of mercy. He is Allah: there is no god but Him, the King, the Holy, the Source of Peace, the Granter of Security, the Guardian, the Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to Allah, far above anything they associate with Him. He is Allah, the Creator, the Originator, the Shaper. His are the most beautiful names. Everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.
Source: Qur’an 59:22–24
Pardon and well-being in every part of life
O Allah, grant me pardon and well-being in this world and the Hereafter, in my religion, my life, my family, and my wealth. Cover my vulnerabilities and calm my fears. Protect me from before and behind, right and left, and above. I seek refuge in Your greatness from being overtaken from beneath.
