Supplications for the mosque and prayer

اللّهُـمَّ اجْعَـلْ فِي قَلْبـي نُوراً ، وَفي لِسَـانِي نُوراً، وَفِي سَمْعِي نُوراً, وَفِي بَصَرِيِ نُوراً, وَمِنْ فََوْقِي نُوراً , وَ مِنْ تَحْتِي نُوراً, وَ عَنْ يَمِينيِ نُوراَ, وعَنْ شِمَالِي نُوراً, وَمْن أَماَمِي نُوراً, وَمِنْ خَلْفيِ نُوراَ, واجْعَلْ فِي نَفْسِي نُوراً, وأَعْظِمْ لِي نُوراً, وَعظِّمْ لِي نُوراً, وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُوراً, واجْعَلنِي نُوراً, أللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي نُوراً, واجْعَلْ فِي عَصَبِي نُوراً, وَفِي لَحْمِي نُوراً, وَفِي دَمِي نُوراً وَفِي شَعْرِي نُوراً, وفِي بَشَرِي نُوراً (أَللَّهُمَّ اجِعَلْ لِي نُوراً فِي قّبْرِي وَ نُوراَ فِي عِظاَمِي) (وَزِدْنِي نُوراً, وَزِدْنِي نُوراَ , وَزِدْنِي نُوراً) (وَهَبْ لِي نُوراً عَلَى نُوراً )

Allâhumma j`al fî qalbî nûran, wa fî lisânî nûran, wa fî sam`î nûran, wa fî basarî nûran, wa min fawqî nûran, wa min tahtî nûran, wa `an yamînî nûran, wa `an shimâlî nûran, wa min amâmî nûran, wa min khalfî nûran. Wa j`al fî nafsî nûran, wa a`zim lî nûran, wa `azzim lî nûran. Wa j`al lî nûran, wa j`alnî nûran. Allâhumma a`tinî nûran, wa j`al fî `asabî nûran, wa fî lahmî nûran, wa fî damî nûran, wa fî sha`rî nûran, wa fî basharî nûran.

[Wa hab lî nûran `alâ nûr.]

‘O Allaah, place within my heart light; and upon my tongue light; and within my ears light; and within my eyes light; and place above me light; and beneath me light; and on my right light; and on my left light; and in front of me light; and behind me light; and place light within my soul; and augment light for me; and greaten light for me; and grant me light and make me light. O Allaah, bestow upon me light; and place light in my tendons; and light in my flesh; and light in my blood; and in light in my hair and light in my skin.’ [O Allaah, place light for me in my grave and light in my bones]. [And increase me with light and increase me with light and increase me with light]. [And grant me light upon light.]’.

أَعوذُ باللهِ العَظيـم وَبِوَجْهِـهِ الكَرِيـم وَسُلْطـانِه القَديـم مِنَ الشّيْـطانِ الرَّجـيم،[ بِسْـمِ الله، وَالصَّلاةُ وَالسَّلامُ عَلى رَسولِ الله]، اللّهُـمَّ افْتَـحْ لي أَبْوابَ رَحْمَتـِك

A`ûdhu bi-l-lâhi-l-`azîmi, wa bi-wajhihi-l-karîmi, wa sultânihi-l-qadîmi, mina sh-shaytâni r-râjim.
[Bismi l-lâhi, wa s-salâtu wa s-salâmu `alâ rasûli l-lâhi]. Allâhumma ftah lî abwâba rahmatik.

I take refuge with Allah, The Supreme and with His Noble Face, and His eternal authority from the accursed devil. In the name of Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, open the gates of Your mercy for me.

بِسمِ الله وَالصّلاةُ وَالسّلامُ عَلى رَسولِ الله، اللّهُـمَّ إِنّـي أَسْأَلُكَ مِـنْ فَضْـلِك، اللّهُـمَّ اعصِمْنـي مِنَ الشَّيْـطانِ الرَّجـيم

Bismi l-lâhi, wa s-salâtu wa s-salâmu `alâ rasûli l-lâhi. Allâhumma innî as'aluka min fadlika. Allâhumma `simnî mina sh-shaytani r-rajîm.

In the name of Allah, and prayers and peace be upon the Messenger of Allah. O Allah, I ask You from Your favour. O Allah, guard me from the accursed devil.

أَسْـتَغْفِرُ الله . (ثَلاثاً) اللّهُـمَّ أَنْـتَ السَّلامُ ، وَمِـنْكَ السَّلام ، تَبارَكْتَ يا ذا الجَـلالِ وَالإِكْـرام

Astaghfiru l-lâha (3 fois). Allâhumma anta s-salâmu wa minka s-salâmu, tabârakta yâ dhâ-l-jalâli wa-l-ikrâm.

I ask Allah for forgiveness.(three times) (O Allah, You are As-Salam and from You is all peace, blessed are You, O Possessor of majesty and honour.) (AS-Salam: The One Who is free from all defects and deficiencies.).

لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وحدَهُ لا شريكَ لهُ، لهُ المُـلْكُ ولهُ الحَمْد، وهوَ على كلّ شَيءٍ قَدير، اللّهُـمَّ لا مانِعَ لِما أَعْطَـيْت، وَلا مُعْطِـيَ لِما مَنَـعْت، وَلا يَنْفَـعُ ذا الجَـدِّ مِنْـكَ الجَـد

Lâ ilâha illâ l-lâhu, wahdahu lâ sharîka lahu, lahu-l-mulku wa lahu-l-hamdu wa huwa `alâ kulli shay'in qadîr. Allâhumma lâ mâni`a limâ a`tayta wa lâ mu`tiya limâ mana`ta wa lâ yanfa`u dhâ-l-jaddi minka-l-jaddu.

None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner, to Him belongs all sovereignty and praise and He is over all things omnipotent.O Allah, none can prevent what You have willed to bestow and none can bestow what You have willed to prevent, and no wealth or majesty can benefit anyone, as from You is all wealth and majesty.

اللّهُـمَّ إِنِّـي أَسْتَخيـرُكَ بِعِاْـمِك، وَأسْتَقْـدِرُكَ بِقُـدْرَتِـك، وَأَسْـألُـكَ مِنْ فَضْـلِكَ العَظـيم، فَإِنَّـكَ تَقْـدِرُ وَلا أَقْـدِر، وَتَـعْلَـمُ وَلا أَعْلَـم، وَأَنْـتَ عَلاّمُ الغُـيوب، اللّهُـمَّ إِنْ كُنْـتَ تَعْـلَمُ أَنَّ هـذا الأمْـرَ- وَيُسَـمِّي حاجَتَـه - خَـيْرٌ لي في دينـي وَمَعـاشي وَعاقِـبَةِ أَمْـري، فَاقْـدُرْهُ لي وَيَسِّـرْهُ لي ثـمَّ بارِكْ لي فيـه، وَإِنْ كُنْـتَ تَعْـلَمُ أَنَّ هـذا الأمْـرَ شَـرٌ لي في دينـي وَمَعـاشي وَعاقِـبَةِ أَمْـري، فَاصْرِفَهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْـدُرْ لي الخَـيْرَ حَيْـثُ كانَ ثُـمَّ أَرْضِـني بِـه

Allâhumma innî astakhîruka bi-`ilmika wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, wa as-aluka min fadlika-l-`azîmi. Fa-innaka taqdiru wa lâ aqdiru, wa ta`lamu wa lâ a`lamu, wa anta `allâmu-l-ghuyûbi. Allâhumma in kunta ta`lamu anna hâdhâ-l-amra (que l'on explicite) khayrun lî fî dînî wa ma`âshî, wa `âqibati amrî (ou : `âjilihi wa âjilihi) fa-qdurhu lî, wa yassirhu lî, thumma bârik lî fîhi. Wa in kunta ta`lamu anna hâdhâ-l-amra (que l'on explicite) sharrun lî fî dînî wa ma`âshî, , wa `âqibati amrî (ou : `âjilihi wa âjilihi) fa-srifhu `annî, wa srifnî `anhu, wa qdur lî-l-khayra haythu kâna thumma arddinî bihi.

Jabir ibn Abdullah — may Allah be pleased with them both — reported: “The Messenger of Allah used to teach us to seek guidance (Istikharah) in all matters, just as he taught us a surah of the Quran.” He would say: “When one of you resolves to do something, let him pray two rak'ahs beyond the obligatory prayers, then say:

O Allah, I seek Your guidance through Your knowledge, and I seek ability through Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty, for You are able and I am not, and You know and I do not, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know this matter — and he names it — to be good for me in my religion, my livelihood and the outcome of my affairs, then decree it for me, ease it for me, and bless me in it. And if You know this matter to be bad for me in my religion, my livelihood and the outcome of my affairs, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is good wherever it may be, and make me content with it.”
