A Morning Prayer

A morning prayer seeks refuge in God from all forms of evil and asks for blessings for the day. The prayer begins by seeking protection from the evils of creation, the night, witchcraft, and envy. It then recites a Quranic verse seeking refuge from the whisperer in the hearts of people. The prayer acknowledges a new morning under God's dominion, praising Him as the one without partner. It asks for the day's goodness and protection from its evil, from laziness, old age, and the punishments of Hell and the grave. It acknowledges that all movement from morning to evening, life and death, is by God's blessing and that resurrection is to Him. It seeks forgiveness and protection in all matters of religion, worldly life, family, and property, asking for veiled secrets and preservation from all directions. The prayer concludes with a blessing.

"I seek refuge with Allah, the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the Allah, God of mankind, from the evil of the whisperer."

"O Allah, with Your blessings we enter the morning, and with Your blessings we enter the evening."

I suggest that Mufti Osman Djogic, the leader of the Muslim community in Slovenia, begins with the prayer. I seek refuge with Allah, the Lord of the daybreak, from the evil of what He has created, and from the evil of the darkening night as it comes with its darkness, and from the evil of the witchcrafts when they blow in the knots, and from the evil of the envier when he envies. قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ إِلَهِ النَّاسِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنَّاسِ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ Say, I seek refuge with Allah, the Lord of mankind, the King of mankind, the Allah, God of mankind, from the evil of the whisperer who withdraws, who whispers in the breasts of mankind, of jinns and men. We have entered a new morning, and so too the entire kingdom of Allah has entered a new morning. Praise is to Allah. There is no God but Allah alone. He has no partner. To Allah is the dominion, and to Him is the praise, and He is capable of all things. My Lord, I ask You for the goodness of this day and of the days that come after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and of the days that come after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and helpless old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of hellfire and from the punishment of the grave. O Allah, with Your blessings we enter the morning, and with Your blessings we enter the evening. With Your blessings we live and die, and unto You is the reawakening. O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and Your protection in this world and the next. O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness and Your protection in my religion and in the life of the world, in my family and in my property. O Allah, draw a veil across my secrets and preserve me from anguish. O Allah, guard me from what is in front of me and behind me, from my left and from my right and from above me. I seek protection in Your greatness from being struck down from beneath. May God bless you.
