5.Recite the following Qur'anic texts:

(1) Surah al-Hamd (i.e. al-Faatehah No. 1),
 (2) Ayah al-Kursi (2:255-257),
ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ
Allah—there is no god except Him—is the Living One, the All-sustainer. Neither drowsiness befalls Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that may intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge except what He wishes. His seat embraces the heavens and the earth and He is not wearied by their preservation, and He is the All-exalted, the All-supreme.Holy Quran 2:255

لَآ إِكْرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشْدُ مِنَ ٱلْغَىِّ ۚ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
There is no compulsion in religion: rectitude has become distinct from error. So one who disavows fake deities and has faith in Allah has held fast to the firmest handle for which there is no breaking; and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.Holy Quran 2:256

ٱللَّهُ وَلِىُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُمُ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ ۗ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ
Allah is the wali of the faithful: He brings them out of darkness into light. As for the faithless, their awliya are the fake deities, who drive them out of light into darkness. They shall be the inmates of the Fire, and they will remain in it [forever]Holy Quran 2:257.

(3) Verses of Bearing Witness (Ayat al-Shahadah; 3:18-19),
شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ قَآئِمًۢا بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ
Allah, maintainer of justice, the Almighty and the All-wise, besides whom there is no god, bears witness that there is no god except Him, and [so do] the angels and those who possess knowledge.Holy Quran 3:18

إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ۗ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ
Indeed, with Allah religion is Islam, and those who were given the Book did not differ except after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves. And whoever denies Allah’s signs [should know that] Allah is swift at reckoning.Holy Quran 3:19

(4) Verses of Kingdom (Ayah al-Mulk; 3:26-27),
قُلِ اللّٰهُمَّ مٰلِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِى الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَآءُ وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَآءُ‌ ؕ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ‌ؕ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ‏

(5) Verses of Subservience (Ayah al-Sakharah 7:54-56).

اُدْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخُفْيَةً‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِيْنَ‌ ۚ‏
وَلَا تُفْسِدُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوْهُ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًا‌ ؕ اِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللّٰهِ قَرِيْبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ‏

14.It is narrated in an inscription handwritten by Shaykh al-Shahid
that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Whoever desires that Almighty Allah will not show him his evildoings (that he did in this world) on the Resurrection Day and will not open the record of his evildoings, should say the following prayer after each obligatory prayer:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ أَرْجَىٰ مِنْ عَمَلِي
allahumma inna maghfirataka arja min `amali
O Allah, Truly, I hope for Your forgiveness more than I trust my deed.

وَإِنَّ رَحْمَتِكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَنْبِي
wa inna rahmataka awsa`u min dhanbi
Your mercy is verily more expansive than my sin.

اَللَّهُمَّ إنْ كَانَ ذَنبِي عِنْدَكَ عَظِيماً
allahumma in kana dhanbi `indaka `aziman
O Allah, If my sin is grave in Your view,

فَعَفْوُكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبِي
fa`afwuka a`zamu min dhanbi
then Your pardon is greater than my sin.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَهْلاً أَنْ أَبْلُغَ رَحْمَتَكَ
allahumma in lam akun ahlan an ablugha rahmataka
O Allah, If I do not deserve to attain Your mercy,

فَرَحْمَتُكَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَبْلُغَنِي وَتَسَعَنِي

then Your mercy is so liberal that it can reach and include me,

لِأَنَّهَا وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ
li-annaha wasi`at kulla shay'in
because it has included all things;

بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمينَ

[Let it be] by Your mercy; O most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِيْ لِلهِ وَ الْـحَمْدُ لِلهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلهِ وَ لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللهُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ وَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلٰى مُـحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ الْهَاشِمِيِّ وَ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلٰی جَمِيْعِ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ وَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ حَتّٰى يَرْضَى اللهُ.

He said: you recite it after every day compulsory prayers and at any other time, it suffices you in your important requests and makes you reach your goal.
يا مَنْ إِذا تَضايَقَتِ الْاُمُورُ فَتَحَ لَها باباً لَمْ تَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ الْأَوْهامُ ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَافْتَحْ لِاُمُورِي الْمُتَضايِقَةِ باباً لَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ وَهْمٌ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .

ii)Invocation for the renewal of allegiance for Imam-e-zamaan (a.t.f.s.) after every obligatory daily prayers: Allama Majlisi in Behaar al-Anwaar, narrates from the book, “Al- Ikhteyaar” of Sayyed Ibn Baaqi, that Imam Sadeq (a.s.) said, “One who recites this supplication after every obligatory daily prayers, then he will certainly get the privilege of seeing Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.), in sleep or otherwise.

O Allah, remove this distress from this nation with his appearance,

إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيدًا وَ نَرَاهُ قَرِيبًا.

وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ.
Wa ṣallallāhu ʿalā Muḥammad wa ālih
And may Allah send His blessings upon Muhammad and his family.

iii)Supplication Enhances Longevity
 Among the deeds that are stressed upon, is to pray for the early reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) after every obligatory prayer. The author of Mikyaal al-Makaarim has supported this idea with the help of the following tradition which says, “Whoever recites the following invocation after every obligatory prayer, his life will be prolonged till he sees Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.).”
اََللّهُم صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,

اََللّهُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَكَ الصَّادِقَ الْمُصَدَّقَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ،
Allāhumma inna rasūlaka aṣṣādiqalmuṣaddaq ṣalawātuka ʿalayhi wa ālih
O Allah, indeed, Your truthful and trustworthy Messenger, Your blessings upon him and his family,

قَالَ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ: ’’مَا تَرَدَّدْتُ فِيْ شَيْءٍ أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ،
Qāla innaka qulta: "Mā taraddadtu fī shayʾin anā fāʿiluh
said that You have declared: "I have not hesitated in anything I do,

كَتَرَدُّدِيْ فِيْ قَبْضِ رُوْحِ عَبْدِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِ،
Kataraddudī fī qabḍi rūḥi ʿabdiya almuʾmin
as much as I hesitate to take the soul of My believing servant,

يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَ أَنَا أَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَهُ.‘‘
Yakrahu almawta wa anā akrahu masāʾatah
who dislikes death, while I dislike causing him sorrow."

اََللّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
Allāhumma faṣalli ʿalā Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad
O Allah, so send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,

وَعَجِّلْ لِوَلِيِّكَ الْفَرَجَ وَ النَّصْرَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ،
Wa ʿajjil liwaliyyika alfaraja wa annaṣra wa alʿāfiyah
and hasten relief, victory, and wellbeing for Your guardian,

وَلَا تَكِلْنِيْ إِلَىٰ نَفْسِيْ وَ لَا إِلَىٰ أَحَدٍ سِوَاكَ.
Wa lā takilnī ilā nafsī wa lā ilā aḥadin siwāk
and do not leave me to myself or to anyone besides You.

He (peace be upon him) said: "And you may mention whomever you wish." 1 Mikyaal al-Makaarim, vol. 2, p. 4; Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 61 narrating from Ikhteyaar of Ibn al-Baaqee.
iv ) Another Invocation for Longevity
 Allama Majlisi, in Kitab al-Salaat of Behaar al-Anwaar, narrates from “Falaah al-Saael” of the renowned scholar, Sayed Ibn Tawoos, who writes, “Abu Muhammad Haroon Ibn Musa relates from Abu al-Hasan Ali Ibn Yaqub al-Ajali al-Kesaai, from Ali Ibn al-Hasan Ibn Fazaalah, from Ja’far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Hakeem, from Jameel Ibn Darraaj, who recounts, “ A man came to the presence of Imam Sadeq (a.s.) and said, “O Master! I have become old and my relatives have died. I am afraid that I too may become a victim of the clutches of death while I don’t have anybody with whom I am acquainted and can refer to him.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Surely among your believing brothers, there is somebody who is very close to you in relation. Your closeness with him is to the extent of intimacy. Yet, it is necessary that after every prayer, you recite the following supplication:
اََللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
Allāhumma ṣalli ʿalā Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,

اََللّهُمَّ إِنَّ الصَّادِقَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ:
Allāhumma inna aṣ-Ṣādiqa ʿalayhi as-salām qāla: innaka qulta
O Allah, indeed, al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him) said that You have declared:

"مَا تَرَدَّدْتُ فِيْ شَيْءٍ أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ،
Mā taraddadtu fī shayʾin anā fāʿiluh
"I have not hesitated in anything I do,

كَتَرَدُّدِيْ فِيْ قَبْضِ رُوْحِ عَبْدِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِ،
Kataraddudī fī qabḍi rūḥi ʿabdī al-muʾmin
as much as I hesitate to take the soul of My believing servant,

يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَ أَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَهُ."
Yakrahu al-mawta wa akrahu masāʾatah
who dislikes death, while I dislike causing him sorrow."

اََللّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
Allāhumma faṣalli ʿalā Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad
O Allah, so send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,

وَعَجِّلْ لِوَلِيِّكَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ،
Wa ʿajjil liwaliyyika al-faraja wa al-ʿāfiyata wa an-naṣr
and hasten the relief, well-being, and victory for Your guardian,

وَلَا تَسُؤْنِيْ فِيْ نَفْسِيْ وَ لَا فِيْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَحِبَّتِيْ.
Wa lā tasuʾnī fī nafsī wa lā fī aḥadin min aḥibbatī
and do not afflict me in myself or in any of my loved ones.

If you want name them one by one, if you wish, name them separately or if you so desire, name them together.” The man said, “By Allah! I lived my life to the fullest.”
v) Supplication of Revenge ( (النتقام
 Imam Sadeq (a.s.) says, “Among our rights on our Shias is that they hold their beards and say after every obligatory prayer thrice,
يَا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَجِّلْ فَرَجَكَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
Yā Rabba Muḥammad, ʿajjil farajaka āli Muḥammad
O Lord of Muhammad, hasten Your relief for the family of Muhammad,

يَا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ، احْفَظْ غَيْبَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ،
Yā Rabba Muḥammad, iḥfaẓ ghaybata Muḥammad
O Lord of Muhammad, protect the concealment of Muhammad,

يَا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ، انْتَقِمْ لِبْنَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
Yā Rabba Muḥammad, intaqim libnata Muḥammad
O Lord of Muhammad, take vengeance for the daughter of Muhammad,

صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
Ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wa ālihi wa sallam
May Allah's blessings and peace be upon him and his family.

Yā wāhib al-ʿaṭāyā, yā muṭliq al-usārā, yā fakkāk al-riqāb min al-nār
O Giver of gifts, O Liberator of the captives, O One who frees the necks from the Fire.

اَسْاَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّیَ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَ اَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتِیْ مِنَ النَّارِ
As'aluka an tuṣallī ʿalā Muḥammad wa āli Muḥammad, wa an tuʿtiq raqabatī min al-nār
I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and to free my neck from the Fire.

و اَنْ تُخْرِجَنِیْ مِنَ الدُّنْیَا اٰمِنًا، وَ تُدْخِلَنِیْ الْجَنَّۃَ سَالِمًا
Wa an tukhrijanī min al-dunyā āminan, wa tudkhilanī al-jannata sāliman
And to take me out of this world in peace, and to enter me into Paradise safely.

و اَنْ تَجْعَلَ دُعَائِیْ اَوَّلَہٗ فَلَاحًا وَ اَوْسَطَہٗ نَجَاحًا وَ اٰخِرَہٗ صَلَاحًا
Wa an tajʿal duʿā'ī awwalahu falāḥan wa awsaṭahu najāḥan wa ākhirahū ṣalāḥan
And to make my prayer its beginning successful, its middle prosperous, and its end righteous.

اِنَّکَ اَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُیُوْبِ
Inna ka anta ʿallām al-ghuyūb
Indeed, You are the Knower of the unseen.

یَا مَنْ لَا یَشْغَلُہٗ سَمْعٌ عَنْ سَمْعٍ، یَا مِنْ لَا یُغَلِّطُہُ السَّائِلُوْنَ، وَ یَا مَنْ لَا یُبْرِمُہٗ اِلْحَاحُ الْمُلِحِّیْنَ، اَذِقْنِیْ بَرْدَ عَفْوِکَ، وَ مَغْفِرَتِکَ وَ حَلَاوَۃَ رَحْمَتِکَ.

O He Who is not distracted by a sound from hearing another sound! O He Who is not confused by the beseechers! O He Who is not annoyed by the insistence of those who entreat Him persistently! Make me taste the nice flavor of Your pardon and forgivenessand the sweetness of Your mercy.

Glory be to Him Who does not treat the people of His realm with transgression! Glory be to Him Who does not inflict on the inhabitants of the earth various sorts of torture! Glory be to the Affectionate, the Merciful! O Allah! Fill my heart with illumination, discernment, (faculty of) understanding, and knowledge. Verily, You have power over all things.

can count the same as what I have counted.

فَٱشْهَدْ يَا كَافِيَ ٱلشَّهَادَةِ

So, (please) bear witness, O He Whose witness is sufficient to me

يَا كَرِيمُ
ya karimu
O All-generous!

This supplicatory prayer is one of the thirty-one secret supplications of sacredness (i.e. supplications that are reported from Almighty Allah directly) that are said for winning this-worldly and the otherworldly requests.
Our master scholars have quoted these supplicatory prayers through connected chains of authority, and some of them are quoted in Shaykh al-Tusi’s Misbah al-Mutahajjid and al-Kaf`ami’s al-Misbah. To see all these thirty-one supplications, it is advisable to refer to al-Balad al-Amin, the Book of Supplications in Bihar al-Anwar, and al-Jawahir al-Saniyyah.
Twelfth: Al-Barqi, through an authenticated narration, reported Imam al-Sadiq (a. s. ) as saying, “Whoever repeats ten times the following statement after accomplishing his prayer and before moving his knees from their position, Almighty Allah will erase many of his sins, record for him rewards, and he will be regarded as having recited the Holy Qur’an entirely twelve times.
اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لا اِلهَ اِلا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ
اِلها واحِدا اَحَدا صَمَدا لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَدا.
I bear witness that there is no god save Allah, One and Only and having no associate with Him (in Godhead); He is the One God,the Unique, the Besought of all, and He has taken to Himself neither a wife nor a son.
Very much more merits have been reported for uttering this statement of professing Almighty Allah being the One and Only God (i. e. Tahlil) , especially after the Dawn and Evening Prayers and at sunrise and sunset.
Thirteenth: Al-Kulayni, Ibn Baabwayh, and others have reported through authentic chains of authority that Imam al-Sadiq (a. s. ) said, “Archangel Gabriel came to Prophet Joseph (a. s. ) who was in the prison and taught him to say the following supplicatory prayer after each prayer:
اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لى فَرَجا وَمَخْرَجا
وَارْزُقْنى مِنْ حَيْثُ اَحْتَسِبُ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لا اَحْتَسِبُ
O Allah, cause all my affairs to arrive at a relief and a way out and give me sustenance from whence I expect and from whence I do not expect.
Fifteenth: Al-Kaf’ami reports that a man complained to the Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) about his ailment and poverty. The Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) therefore taught him to say the following statement after the obligatory prayers:
تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَىِّ الَّذى لا يَمُوتُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً
وَلا وَلَدا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِىُّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبيرا.
I put my trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies. All praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a wife or a son and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace; and magnify Him with all magnificence.

According to another report, the Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) said, “Whenever a tribulation afflicted me, Archangel Gabriel would come to me and instruct me to say these words. ” According to other validly reported traditions, this doxology may be repeated for fending off evil inspirations, settling debts, and saving from poverty. According to other traditions, the following statement precedes the doxology involved:
لاحَوْلَ وَلاقُوَّةَ اِلاّ بِاللَّهِ.
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
Sixteenth: In his book of al-Muqni’ah, Shaykh al-Mufid has mentioned the following supplicatory prayer to be said after every prayer:
اَللّهُمَّ انْفَعْنا بِالْعِلْمِ وَزَيِّنّا بِالْحِلْمِ وَجَمِّلْنا بِالْعافِيَةِ وَكَرِّمْنا بِالتَّقْوى
اِنَّ وَلِيِّىَ اللَّهُ الَّذى نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصّالِحينَ
O Allah, (please) make us benefit by knowledge, adorn us with forbearance, beautify us with wellbeing, and honor us with piety. Surely, my guardian is Allah, Who revealed the Book, and He guards the righteous ones.
