اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is inevitable. Your judgment concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or taught to any one of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my grief, and the solver of my worries.

How to Read
Begin with a sincere intention and a humble heart. Focus on the meaning of each phrase as you recite it. Imagine Allah's (SWT) infinite mercy and power. Understand that by seeking Him through His beautiful names and the Qur'an, you are tapping into the greatest source of solace and connection. Raising your hands slightly can be a gesture of earnest supplication, but sincerity in the heart is paramount.
Virtues & Benefits

This can transform feelings of awkwardness and being unseen into a deeper, internal connection with our Creator, providing true peace and contentment that transcends external circumstances.

Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'No one who has an atom's weight of arrogance in his heart will enter Paradise.' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what if a man likes his clothes to be neat and his shoes to be fine?' He said, 'Allah is Beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is to reject the truth and to look down on people.' Then, another man came to him and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have felt anxious and sad.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Shall I teach you words that, if you say them, Allah will remove your anxiety and debt?' He said, 'Yes.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your maidservant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is inevitable. Your judgment concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or taught to any one of Your creation, or revealed in Your Book, or have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, and the light of my chest, the banisher of my grief, and the solver of my worries.' A man said, 'O Messenger of Allah, should I learn these words?' He said, 'Yes, indeed! One should learn them.'
