We have entered the morning and at this very time the whole dominion belongs to Allah, and all praise is for Allah. There is no god but Allah alone, He has no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and to Him is praise, and He is over all things competent. O Allah, I ask You for the good of this day and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil that follows it. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the misery of old age. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the Fire and the punishment of the grave.
The morning testimony: sovereignty and praise belong to Allah as the day begins. Its twin closes the evening.
