So suffice me, and I have started my day poor to You, so enrich me
وَ أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أَعْرِفُ رَبّاً غَيْرَكَ
And I have started my day not knowing a lord other than You
فَاغْفِرْ لِي
So forgive me
وَ أَصْبَحْتُ مُقِرّاً لَكَ بِالرُّبُوبِيَّةِ
And I have started my day acknowledging Your lordship
مُعْتَرِفاً لَكَ بِالْعُبُودِيَّةِ
Confessing to You my servitude
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ
And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone without partner
إِلَهاً وَاحِداً أَحَداً صَمَداً لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً وَ لا وَلَداً
A god who is one, indivisible, eternal, who did not take a consort or a child
وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ
And that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger
أَرْسَلَهُ بِالْهُدى وَ دِينِ الْحَقِّ
He sent him with guidance and the religion of truth
لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
To make it prevail over all religion, even if the polytheists dislike it
فَبَلَّغَ رِسَالاتِهِ وَ نَصَحَ لِأُمَّتِهِ
So he conveyed His messages and advised his nation
وَ جَاهَدَ فِي اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهَادِهِ
And strove in the way of Allah as is due
وَ عَبَدَهُ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ الْيَقِينُ
And worshiped Him until certainty came to him
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ
May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لا رَيْبَ فِيها
And I bear witness that the Hour is coming, there is no doubt about it
وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ
And that Allah will resurrect those in the graves
وَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَ النَّارَ حَقٌّ
And that Paradise is true and the Fire is true
وَ الْبَعْثَ حَقٌّ
And the resurrection is true
وَ إِنِّي أُومِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ
And I believe in Allah and His messenger
صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ
May Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace
وَ بِمَلائِكَتِهِ وَ كُتُبِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ
And in His angels, His books, and His messengers
لا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ رُسُلِهِ
We do not differentiate between any of His messengers
اللَّهُمَّ فَاكْتُبْ لِي هَذِهِ الشَّهَادَةَ عِنْدَكَ
O Allah, write this testimony for me with You
وَ لَقِّنِّيهَا عِنْدَ حَاجَتِي إِلَيْهَا
And make me recite it when I need it
وَ أَحْيِنِي عَلَيْهَا
And give me life upon it
وَ ابْعَثْنِي عَلَيْهَا
And resurrect me upon it
وَ احْشُرْنِي عَلَيْهَا
And gather me upon it
وَ اجْزِنِي جَزَاءَ مَنْ لَقِيَكَ بِهَا مُخْلِصاً غَيْرَ شَاكٍّ فِيهَا
And reward me as You reward those who meet You with it, sincere and not doubting
وَ لَا مُرْتَدٍّ عَنْهَا وَ لَا مُبَدِّلٍ لَهَا
And not turning away from it, and not altering it
آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Ameen, Lord of the worlds
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ
May Allah bless Muhammad and his pure and good family
وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً
And grant them much peace
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest
وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ غَفَّارُ الذُّنُوبِ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
And I seek forgiveness from Allah, who there is no god but He, the Forgiver of sins, and I repent to Him
وَ أَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيَّ
And I ask Him to accept my repentance
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
And there is no power and no strength except by Allah, the Most High, the Most Great
