بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ .

Bismil Laahir Rahmaanir Raheem.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

اَللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِىْ بِتَرَكِ مَعَاصِيْكَ اَبَدًا مَا اَبْقَيْتَنِىْ فَارْحَمْنِىْ مِنْ تَكَلُّفِ مَا يَعِنِيْنِىْ وَ ارْزُقْنِىْ حُسْنَ الْمَنْظَرِ فِيْمَا يُرْضِيْكَ عَنِّىْ وَ اَلْزِمُ قَلْبِىْ حِفْظُ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِىْ وَ ارْزُقْنِىْ. اَنْ اَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى النَّجْوِ الَّذِيْ يُرْضِيْكَ عَنِّىْ.

Allaahummar h’amnee bitaraki maa’a’s’eeka abadam maa abqaitanee farh’amni min takallufi maa yai’neenee warzuqnee h’usnal manz’ari feemaa yurz”eeka a’nnee walzim qalbee h’ifz’a kitaabika kamaa a’llamtanee warzuqnee wa atluwahu a’lan naj’willadhee yurz”eeka a’nnee.

O Allah bestow upon me Your mercy so that I am away from Your disobedience always, and bestow the grace that I am not involved in unbearable difficulties, and grant me the goodness for deeds which make You happy with me, and make the memorizing of Your book (the Holy Quran) obligatory on me as You have granted me it’s knowledge, and bestow Your grace so that I recite it in the way Your pleasure is gained.

اَللَّهُمَّ نَوِّرْ بَصَرِىْ وَ اشْرَحْ بِهِ صَدْرِىْ وَ فَرِّجْ بِهِ قَلْبِىْ وَ اطْلِقْ بِهِ لِسَانِىْ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْ بِهِ بَدَنِىْ وَ قَوِّنِىْ عَلٰى ذَالِكَ وَ اَعِنِّىْ عَلَيْهِ اِنَّهُ لاَ مُعِيْنَ عَلَيْهِ اِلاَّ اَنْتَ لاَ اِلٰهِ اِلاَّ اَنْتَ.

Allaahumma nawwir bas’aree washrah’ bihi s’adree wa farrij bihi qalbee wat’liq bihi lisaanee wasta’mil bihi badanee wa qawwinee a’laa dhaalika wa aa’nnee a’laihi innahu laa mue’e’na a’laihi illaa anta laa ilaaha illaa ant.

O Allah illuminate my eyes, expand my breast, illuminate my heart and my tongue flows with the Holy Quran.Give me the strength so that I use my body for the Holy Quran, grant me Your help because there is no helper other than You and there is no god other than You
