اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ، لاَ أَدْرِي فِيهِمَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَرْأَةِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا أَحَاطَ بِمَا فِيهَا، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْمَرْأَةِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا خَرَجَ مِنْهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا أَحَاطَ بِمَا فِيهَا، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ، وَفَتْحَهُ، وَنَصْرَهُ، وَنُورَهُ، وَبَرَكَتَهُ، وَهُدَاهُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ، وَشَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ.
O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, my Lord and the Lord of all things, I bear witness that You are Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who was not begotten and has no equal. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this day and the good of what follows it. I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil of what follows it. O Allah, I ask You for bounty in this world and the Hereafter. O Allah, I ask You for pardon and well-being in my religion, my worldly affairs, my family and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my faults and allay my fears. O Allah, protect me from in front of me, from behind me, from my right, from my left, and from above me. I seek refuge in Your might from being annihilated from beneath me.
Allahumma, Fāṭir as-samāwāti wal-arḍ, 'Ālim al-ghaybi wash-shahādah, lā adrī fīhimā. Allahumma, innī as'aluka khayra al-madīnati wa khayra mā fīhā, wa khayra mā kharaja minhā, wa khayra mā aḥāṭa bimā fīhā. Wa a'ūdhu bika min sharri al-madīnati wa sharri mā fīhā, wa sharri mā kharaja minhā, wa sharri mā aḥāṭa bimā fīhā. Allahumma, innī as'aluka khayra hādhā al-yawmi, wa fatḥahu, wa naṣrahu, wa nūrahu, wa barakatahu, wa hudāhu. Wa a'ūdhu bika min sharri mā fīhi, wa sharri mā ba'dahu.
