Duas for various evening activities and settling down
By Your Name we live and by Your Name we die. And when you see the evening, say: 'O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this night and the goodness of what is in it and the goodness of what comes after it. And I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what comes after it. O Allah, I ask You for well-being in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for forgiveness and well-being in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family, and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and secure me from what I fear. O Allah, protect me from before me and from behind me, from my right and from my left, and from above me. And I seek refuge in Your Magnificence lest I be consumed from beneath me.'
With Your Name, my Lord, I lie down. With Your Name, I rise. If You should take my soul, then have mercy upon it. And if You send it back, then protect it with what You protect Your righteous servants.
O Allah, help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best manner.
In the name of Allah. I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn from the evil of all that He has created, and from the evil of the darkening night as it falls, and from the evil of those who practice sorcery, and from the evil of the envier when he envies. In the name of Allah. I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.
I turn to Allah in repentance. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what is in it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what is in it, and I seek refuge in You from laziness and the evil of old age, three times.
In the name of Allah. O Allah, bless us in what You have provided us and save us from the punishment of the Fire.
"Our Lord, descend upon us a table [spread with food] from the heaven to be for us a festival for the first of us and the last of us and a sign from You. And provide for us, for You are the best of providers."
In the name of Allah, I rely on Allah, and there is no might nor power except with Allah.
In the name of Allah, I have placed myself on my side. O Allah, forgive me my sins, gather me with my company, and join me with the Highest Companion.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and acceptable deeds.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of all that You have created.
In the name of Allah, cover the vessel with a covering, tie the waterskin, extinguish the lamp, and put out the fire.
