اللَّهُمَّ اعْجِبْنِي بِالإِسْلامِ إِذَا تَرَكُونِي، وَاعْجِبْنِي بِالإِسْلامِ إِذَا لَمْ يَرَونِي، وَلا تَجْعَلْ أَحَدًا أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي، وَلا تَفْقُرْنِي فِي دِينِي، وَلا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ مَنْ لا يَرْحَمُنِي، اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الأَرْضِ، رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَأَغْنِنِي مِنْ فَقْرٍ.
O Allah, make Islam pleasing to me when others abandon it, and make Islam pleasing to me when others do not see it. And do not make anyone poorer than me, and do not impoverish me in my religion. And do not give power over me to anyone who does not have mercy on me. O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of the magnificent Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things. The One who splits the grain and the date-seed, and the Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Furqan. I seek refuge in You from the evil of all things You are seizing by the forelock. O Allah, You are the First, and there is nothing before You. You are the Last, and there is nothing after You. You are the Outwardly Apparent, and there is nothing above You. You are the Inwardly Hidden, and there is nothing beyond You. Settle my debt and enrich me from poverty.
Allahumma 'ajibni bil-Islami idha tarukuni, wa 'ajibni bil-Islami idha lam yarawni, wa la taj'al ahadan afqara minni, wa la tafqurni fi dini, wa la tusallit 'alayya man la yarhamuni. Allahumma Rabba as-samawati wa Rabba al-ardi, Rabba al-'arshil-'adheem, Rabbana wa Rabba kulli shay'. Faliq al-habbi wan-nawa, wa munzil at-Tawrati wal-Injili wal-Furqan. A'udhu bika min sharri kulli shay'in anta akhidhun binasiyatihi. Allahumma Anta al-Awwalu falaysa qablaka shay'. Wa Anta al-Akhiru falaysa ba'daka shay'. Wa Anta adh-Dhahiru falaysa fawqaka shay'. Wa Anta al-Batinu falaysa doonaka shay'. Iqdi 'anni dayni wa aghnini min faqr.
