Peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and all his Companions. I seek Your forgiveness and I repent unto You. All I praise is upon You for what You decide. And none whom You have taken as an enemy shall taste glory. Surely, You hold the command and are not commanded, and none whom You have committed to Your care shall be humiliated. Protect me from the evil You have ordained. Take me to Your care with those whom You have taken to Your care. O Allah, guide me with those whom You have guided, and grant me wellbeing with those whom You have granted wellbeing.
