اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّيْ عَبْدُكَ، اِبْنُ عَبْدِكَ، اِبْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِيْ بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُــــلِّ اِسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِيْ كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِيْ عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيْعَ قَلْبِيْ، وَنُوْرَ صَدْرِيْ، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِيْ، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّيْ

Allaahumma 'innee 'abduka, ibnu abdika, ibnu 'amatika, naasiyatee biyadika, maadhin fiyya hukmuka, 'adlun fiyya qadhaa'uka, 'as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, 'aw 'anzaltahu fee kitaabika, 'aw 'allamtahu'ahadan min khalgika, 'awista'tharta bihi fee 'ilmil-ghaybi 'indaka, 'an taj'alal-Qur'aana rabee'a qalbee, wa noora sadree, wa jalaa'a huznee, wa thahaaba hammee.

Oh Allaah! Indeed I am Your servant Son of Your male servant and female servant, My forelock is in Your Hand, And Your Judgment upon me is assured, and Your Decree upon me is just, l ask you with every name that You have named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book (Quraan), or taught to any of Your creation, or kept with Yourself in the knowledge of the unseen that is with You, that you make the Quraan the life of my heart, and the light of my chest and the banisher of my sadness and the reliever of my distress.

[Ahmad]
