﴿وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغَاضِباً	wa dh� alnn�ni idh dhahaba mugh��iban	And (mention) Dhu'n-N�n (Jonah), when he went off in anger
فَظَنَّ انْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ	fa�anna an lan naqdira `alayhi	and deemed that We would not suppress his sustenance.
فَنَادَىٰ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَاتِ	fan�d� f� al��ulum�ti	But he cried out in the darkness,
انْ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ	an l� il�ha ill� anta sub��naka	�There is no god save You. Be You Glorified!
إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ	inn� kuntu min al��lim�na	Lo! I have been a wrongdoer.�
فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلغَمِّ	fastajabn� lah� wa najjayn�hu min alghammi	Then we heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish.
وَكَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِي ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ﴾	wa kadh�lika nunj� almu'min�na	Thus do we save the believers.

In the second unit, you should recite, after S�rah al-F�ti�ah, the following verse (6:59):

﴿وَعِنْدَهُ مَفَاتِحُ ٱلْغَيْبِ	wa `indahu maf�ti�u alghaybi	And with Him are the keys of the Invisible.
لاَ يَعْلَمُهَا إِلاَّ هُوَ	l� ya`lamuh� ill� huwa	None but He knows them.
وَيَعْلَمُ مَا فِي ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ	wa ya`lamu m� f� albarri walba�ri	And He knows what is in the land and the sea.
وَمَا تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ إِلاَّ يَعْلَمُهَا	wa m� tasqu�u min waraqatin ill� ya`lamuh�	Not a leaf falls but He knows it,
وَلاَ حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ ٱلارْضِ	wa l� �abbatin f� �ulum�ti al-ar�i	not a grain amid the darkness of the earth,

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اَسْالُكَ بِمَفَاتِحِ ٱلْغَْيِبِ	all�humma inn� as'aluka bimaf�ti�i alghaybi	O Allah, I beseech You in the name of the Keys of the Invisible (world)
ٱلَّتِي لاَ يَعْلَمُهَا إِلاَّ انْتَ	allat� l� ya`lamuh� ill� anta	that none knows save You;
اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ وَ انْ�	an tu�alliya `al� mu�ammadin wa �lih��	(please) send blessings to Mu�ammad and his Household and...

وَٱلْقَادِرُ عَلَىٰ طَلِبَتِي	walq�diru `al� �alibat�	You have the power to respond to my request,
