اللَّهُ الَّذي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَالأَرضَ وَأَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً فَأَخرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَراتِ رِزقًا لَكُم ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الفُلكَ لِتَجرِيَ فِي البَحرِ بِأَمرِهِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الأَنهارَ

It is God who created the heavens and the earth and sends down rain from the sky, thereby producing fruits for your sustenance. And He subjected to you the ships to sail through the sea by His command, and He subjected the rivers to you.

وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ الشَّمسَ وَالقَمَرَ دائِبَينِ ۖ وَسَخَّرَ لَكُمُ اللَّيلَ وَالنَّهارَ

Also, He subjected to you the sun and the moon, both diligently pursuing their courses, and He subjected the night and the day to you.

وَآتاكُم مِن كُلِّ ما سَأَلتُموهُ ۚ وَإِن تَعُدّوا نِعمَتَ اللَّهِ لا تُحصوها ۗ إِنَّ الإِنسانَ لَظَلومٌ كَفّارٌ

He gave you something of all that you requested. If you were to count God’s blessings, you could never enumerate them. Man is given to wrongdoing and ingratitude.

وَإِذ قالَ إِبراهيمُ رَبِّ اجعَل هـٰذَا البَلَدَ آمِنًا وَاجنُبني وَبَنِيَّ أَن نَعبُدَ الأَصنامَ

And when Abraham said, “My Lord, make this city safe, and keep me and my offspring from worshiping idols.”

رَبِّ إِنَّهُنَّ أَضلَلنَ كَثيرًا مِنَ النّاسِ ۖ فَمَن تَبِعَني فَإِنَّهُ مِنّي ۖ وَمَن عَصاني فَإِنَّكَ غَفورٌ رَحيمٌ

“My Lord, they have misled many among the people. So whoever follows me, then he is of me; and whoever disobeys me, then You are Forgiving and Merciful.”

رَبَّنا إِنَّكَ تَعلَمُ ما نُخفي وَما نُعلِنُ ۗ وَما يَخفىٰ عَلَى اللَّهِ مِن شَيءٍ فِي الأَرضِ وَلا فِي السَّماءِ

“Our Lord, You know what we conceal and what we declare. And nothing is hidden from God on the earth or in the heavens.”

الحَمدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذي وَهَبَ لي عَلَى الكِبَرِ إِسماعيلَ وَإِسحاقَ ۚ إِنَّ رَبّي لَسَميعُ الدُّعاءِ

“Praise be to God, Who, even in my old age, granted me Ishmael and Isaac. My Lord is the Hearer of prayers.”

رَبِّ اجعَلني مُقيمَ الصَّلاةِ وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتي ۚ رَبَّنا وَتَقَبَّل دُعاءِ

“My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and of my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.”

رَبَّنَا اغفِر لي وَلِوالِدَيَّ وَلِلمُؤمِنينَ يَومَ يَقومُ الحِسابُ

“Our Lord, forgive me, my parents, and the believers on the Day when judgment occurs.”

وَلا تَحسَبَنَّ اللَّهَ غافِلًا عَمّا يَعمَلُ الظّالِمونَ ۚ إِنَّما يُؤَخِّرُهُم لِيَومٍ تَشخَصُ فيهِ الأَبصارُ

Never think that God is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them to a Day when the eyes transfix.
