O Allah, I ask You for the understanding of the prophets, the memory of the messengers, and the closeness of the angels. O Allah, take us out from the darkness of weakness, and honor us with the light of understanding. Open for us the doors of knowledge, beautify our character with forbearance, and grant us from Your generosity and treasures of mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
My Lord, expand for me my chest, ease for me my task, and untie the knot from my tongue, so that they may understand my speech. In the name of Allah, the Opener, the All-Knowing. O Allah, nothing is easy except what You make easy, and You can make difficulty easy, if You will.
There is no deity except You. Glory be to You! I was indeed among the wrongdoers. O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek help. My Lord, indeed adversity has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.
O Allah, I entrust You with what I have read, what I have memorized, and what I have learned. Bring it back to me when I need it. You are capable of all things. Allah is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs.
O Allah, O Gatherer of mankind on the Day in which there is no doubt, gather back to me what I have lost.
All praise is due to Allah who has guided us to this, and we would never have been guided had Allah not guided us.
