Duas for various evening activities and settling down
In Your name, my Lord, I lay down my side, and in Your name I lift it. If You should take my soul, then have mercy upon it. And if You should return it, then protect it with what You protect Your righteous servants.
In Your name, my Lord, I lay down my side, and in Your name I raise it. If You should take my soul, then have mercy upon it. And if You should return it, then protect it with what You protect Your righteous servants.
O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, our Lord and Lord of all things, the Opener of the grain and the date-stone, the Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Furqan. I seek refuge in You from the evil of all things You seize by their forelocks. 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. Settle my debts for me and enrich me from poverty.
Praise be to Allah Who gave us death after He gave us life, and to Him is the return.

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.
