Duas for various evening activities and settling down
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and acceptable deeds.
O Allah, feed those who fed me, and give drink to those who gave me drink.
I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created.
O Allah, by You we enter the morning, and by You we enter the evening. By You we live, and by You we die, and to You is our return.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from distress and sorrow, I seek refuge in You from incapacity 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.
We have entered the evening, and the dominion belongs to Allah, and all praise is due to Allah. There is no deity except Allah alone, without any partner. To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things capable. My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what comes after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what comes after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the evil of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the torment of the Fire and the torment of the grave.
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things omnipotent. Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might nor power except with Allah.
O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this night and the goodness 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 the restlessness of the night and from falling into evil in property and family.
In the name of Allah, I lay down my side. By Your name, I raise it. If You seize my soul, then have mercy on it. If You release it, then protect it with that which You protect Your righteous servants. O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, goodly provision, and accepted deeds.
O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge, good provision, and accepted deeds.
All praise is due to Allah Who sufficed me and gave me shelter, and all praise is due to Allah Who fed me and gave me drink, and all praise is due to Allah Who favored me. There is no god but You, glory be to You; surely I have been of the wrongdoers.
In the name of Allah we enter, and in the name of Allah we leave, and upon our Lord we depend. O Allah, I ask of You the best of entry and the best of exit. In the name of Allah we start, and in the name of Allah we are provisioned. And upon our Lord we depend.
