I have entrusted my soul to You, and I have turned my face towards You, and I have entrusted my affairs to You, and I have taken You as my protector, desiring Your mercy and fearing Your punishment, and there is no refuge and no place of safety from You except with You. I have believed in the Book which You have revealed, and I have believed in the Prophet or Messenger whom You have sent.

I have entrusted my soul to You, and I have turned my face towards You, and I have entrusted my affairs to You, and I have taken You as my protector. I have believed in the Book You have revealed, and in the Prophet You have sent. You alone created my soul; for You alone is its living and its dying. If You cause it to die, then have mercy on it, and if You postpone its death, then protect it, along with safeguarding faith.

I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except You. I seek refuge in You from the evil of my own self, from Satan and his associates."

Hazrat Abu Huraira narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any of you intends to lie down on his bed, he should remove the extra clothes from underneath him, then he should dust off his bed, because he does not know what might have come onto his bed after him. Then he should lie down on his right side, then recite this supplication: My Lord, in Your name I have placed my side, and in Your name I will raise it. So if You take my soul, have mercy on it. And if You leave it alive, protect it with the protection with which You protect Your righteous servants.

I have entrusted my soul to You, and I have turned my face towards You, and I have entrusted my affairs to You, and I have taken You as my protector, desiring Your mercy and fearing Your punishment. There is no refuge and no place of safety from Your grasp except with You. I believe in the Book which You have revealed and in the Prophet whom You have sent.

For this Surah is a declaration of freedom from shirk (associating partners with Allah)."
