"O Allah, All Praise be to You, You are the Creator of all that is between the skies and the earth, Praise be to You for You light all that is between the skies and the earth. Praise be to You for You are the owner of all that is between the skies and the earth and praise be to You for You are Haqq (truth). Your promise is Haqq, and your meeting is Haqq, Your words are Haqq, Jannah and Jahannam are Haqq, All Nabies are Haqq, Muhammad is Haqq, and Qiyamah is Haqq. O Allah, I submit in obedience to You, believe in You and rely on You and turn towards You and with Your might I fought (the enemy) and made You the judge. Forgive my future and past sins, hidden and open sins and those sins of which you know of more than myself: You are the beginning and the end You are the Only one worthy of worship and no one besides You is worthy of worship.
