اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيِّمُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ لَكَ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ مَلِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ، وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ، وَقَوْلُكَ حَقٌّ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ، وَالنَّبِيُّونَ حَقٌّ، وَمُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ حَقٌّ، وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ. اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ، وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ، وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ، وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ، أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ. أَوْ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ.
O Allah, our Lord, to You is all praise. You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them. And to You is all praise. Yours is the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them. And to You is all praise. You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and whoever is in them. And to You is all praise. You are the King of the heavens and the earth. And to You is all praise. You are the Truth, and Your promise is Truth, and meeting You is Truth, and Your word is Truth, and Paradise is Truth, and the Fire is Truth, and the Prophets are Truth, and Muhammad ﷺ is Truth, and the Hour is Truth. O Allah, to You I have submitted, and in You I have believed, and upon You I have relied, and to You I have turned, and by You I have disputed, and to You I have appealed for judgment. So forgive me what I have sent forth and what I have delayed, and what I have concealed and what I have made public. You are the One Who sends forth and the One Who delays. There is no god but You. (Or: There is no god other than You.)
