MUSLIM MORNING PRAYERS
                       ======================

 [Say 3 times]
 I begin the day in the name of Allah 
 by whose name nothing on earth and in the heavens 
 can cause harm. 
 He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.

 [Say 3 times]
 I seek protection by the excellent words of Allah
 from the injuries caused by his creation.

 [Say 3 times]
 I seek the protection of Allah -
 the All-Hearing,
 the All-Knowing -
 from the accursed Shaytaan.

 Surah Hashr
 -----------
 Allah is He besides whom none is worthy of worship but He.
 He is the Knower of the unseen and open. 
 He is most Kind, Most Merciful. 
 Allah is He besides whom none is worthy of worship but He -
    The Sovereign, 
    The Holy, 
    The Source of Peace and Perfection,
    The Giver of Peace,
    The Guardian,
    The Exalted,
    The Mighty,
    The Supreme.
 Glory be to Allah.
 He is above the partners they attribute to Him.
 Allah is He The Creator,
 The Evolver,
 The Giver of shapes.
 To Him belong The Most Beautiful Names.
 Whatever is in the heavens and earth, declare His praises and
    glory and He is Exalted and Mighty.
 
 [Say 3 times]
 Glorify Allah during evening and morning.
 And for Him is all praise in the heavens and on earth after sunset
    and at noon.
 He takes out the living from the dead and the dead from the living
    and makes alive the earth after it is dead; and so will you be
    raised alive (on the Day of Judgement). 

 Aayatul-Kursi
 -------------
 Allah!
 There is no deity save He, The Ever-Living, The Eternal.
 No slumber can overpower Him nor sleep.
 His are all things in the heaven and on earth.
 Who is there that can interceed in His presence except by His
     permission?
 He knows what appears to His creatures before or after them.
 Nor shall they encompass anything pertaining to His knowledge
    except as He wills.
 His throne extends over the heavens and the earth and He feels
    no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.
 For He is The Most High, The Supreme.

 Surah Ghaafir
 -------------
 Haa Meem.
 The revelation of The Book is from Allah,
 The Exalted,
 The All-Knowing.
 The Forgiver of Sin,
 The Acceptor of Repentence,
 The Strict in Punishment,
 The Long Reach (in all things).
 There is no deity but He: to Him is the final return.

 We, together with the entire universe, have spent the morning
    for (the devotion of) Allah.

  None is worthy of worship besides Allah.
  He is Unique.  
  He has no partner.
  To Him belongs the entire universe.
  And for Him is due all praises.
  And He has power over all things.

 Allah is Pure and all praises are due to Him.
 There is no power to do good except with His help.
 Whatever Allah has willed, has happened 
 and whatever He has not willed, will not happen.
 I know that Allah has power over all things
 and that Allah comprehends all things with His knowledge.

 O The Ever-Living, The Eternal!
 We fervently invoke Your mercy so that You may set aright all my
 affairs and may not leave me to myself for the twinkling of an eye.

 [with Ta'aw-wuz]
 O Allah!
 You are my Cherisher.
 There is no deity except You.
 You have created me and I am Your servant and, as far as possible,
     I abide by my solemn promise and covenant (which I made to You).
 I fully acknowledge the grace You have bestowed upon me and I
     confess my faults.
 So pardon me as none besides You can pardon sins.
 I seek Your protection against the consequences of my wrong-doing.

 O Allah!
 Of all the things remembered, You are Most Rightful to be remembered;
 and of all those adorned, You are The Fittest to be adorned;
 and of all those from whom help is sought, You are The Best from
     whom help could be sought;
 and of all the owners, You are The Kindest;
 and of all those who are looked up to for favor, You are The Most 
     Generous;
 and of all those who give, You are the Most Affluent.

 O Allah!
 You are The Sovereign and You have no partner;
 and You are one with no parallel;
 all things are mortal except Your Personality;
 You cannot be obeyed except with Your permission;
 You cannot be disobeyed except with Your knowledge;
 obedience does please You and You forgive acts of disobedience.

 You are the nearest of all those who are present;
 You are The Closest amongst all protectors -
     acting as a curtain for souls against evil desire;
 the forelock is in Your Hands (and power);
 You have reduced the future doings of creatures to preconceived
     writings;
 You have predetermined the ages of living beings;
 the hearts of creatures are open things for You and all secrets
     are plainly known to You;
 permitted (halaal) things are only those that You have so
     specified and likewise, prohibited (haraam) things are
     strictly those that You have so specified.

 The Deen (Faith) is one which You have propounded;
 the decree is that which You have ordained;
 all creation is Yours and all servants are Yours;
 and You are Allah, The Kind, The Merciful.

 I invoke the light of Your Personality 
 which has illumined the heavens and earth 
 and (I invoke) the right (of being worshipped) which You possess 
 and the right which You have allowed beggars (to beg of You), 
 that You be pleased to forgive me this morning 
 and that You be pleased to grant me salvation 
 from the fire of hell 
 through Your power. 
 
 [Say 7 times]
 Allah is sufficent for me as there is no god besides Him;

 There is no deity besides Allah;
 He is One;
 He has no partner;
 The Domain is His;
 to Him alone is due all praise.
 And He has power over all things. 
 
 [Say 100 times]
 Pure is Allah, The Great and all praises are due to Him only.
