Duas for various evening activities and settling down
Praise be to Allah Who gave us death after He gave us life, and to Him is the return.
O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and what they cover, Lord of the earths and what they hold, Lord of the devils and what they lead astray, be my neighbour from the evil of all Your creation, lest one of them should overreach me or transgress against me. Your protection is mighty, and blessed is Your name. There is no god but You, and there is no might nor power except with Allah the Most High, the Most Great.
I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.
In the name of Allah, with whose name nothing can cause harm on earth or in the heavens, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.
In the name of Allah, I seek refuge in Allah and His power from the evil of what I feel and what I fear.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from worry and grief, I seek refuge in You from helplessness and laziness, I seek refuge in You from cowardice and stinginess, and I seek refuge in You from the burden of debt and the oppression of men.
In the name of Allah, I have laid down on my side. O Allah, forgive me my sins, protect my soul, and save me from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your servants.
In the name of Allah. I seek refuge in Allah and in His perfect words from His anger and His punishment, and from the evil of His creation, and from the promptings of devils and from their presence.
O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best way.
O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, our Lord and Lord of all things, the Splitter of the grain and the date-stone, the Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Qur'an. I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything You are seizing by its forelock. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You; You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; You are the Apparent, so there is nothing above You; You are the Hidden, so there is nothing nearer than You. Discharge our debt and suffice us from poverty.
O Allah, I ask You to accept my deeds, both by night and by day.
