O Allah, I am Your slave and the son of Your male
slave and the son of your female slave . My forehead
is in Your Hand (i.e. you have control over me) .
Your Judgment upon me is assured and Your Decree
concerning me is just . I ask You by every Name
that You have named Yourself with , revealed in Your
Book , taught any one of Your creation or kept unto
Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with
You , to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart,
and the light of my chest, the banisher of my
sadness and the reliever of my distress.
