’ All¡h! Surely You have revealed it (the nur}¡n) with Truth and surely You always reveal (with Truth).

O’ All¡h! Increase my attraction to it (the nur}¡n); and place it as a divine light for my eyes; and an intercession for my (spiritual) chest; and make it (the nur}¡n) that which removes my grief, sorrow and worries. O’ All¡h! Through the nur}¡n, beautify my tongue (that which I speak), and beautify my face, and strengthen my body, and make my scale of (good) deeds weighty, and grant me the ability to recite it as it should be recited in Your obedience - in the darkness of the night and the ends of the day, and raise me up with the Prophet, Mu¦ammad and his family members the chosen, glorified, the purified, by Your mercy. O’ the Most Merciful of those who are able to show mercy.

O

’ All¡h!

Surely I have recited that which You have decreed for me to recite from Your Book which You sent upon Your Prophet, may Your prayers be upon him and his family so then (all) praise belongs to You, our Lord. O’ All¡h! Place it (the nur}¡n) amongst those people who keep permitted that which You have made permissible, and who forbid that which You have made forbidden and who believe in the clear and apparent verses and the ambiguous verses and make it (the nur}¡n) an instrument of love in our grave and an instrument of love when we are raised up and raise the person who recites the verses, a stage from the highest of the high, through Your Mercy, O’ You who are the most Merciful of those who are able to show mercy.
