The evening azkar begin with this comprehensive supplication by which the Muslim greets his night, declaring that all dominion belongs to Allah alone. In it he asks his Lord for the good of the night and what follows it, and seeks refuge from its evil, from laziness, the misery of old age, and the punishment of the Fire and the grave — a blessed opening to the evening.

My Lord, I ask You for the good of this night and the good of what follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this night and the evil of what follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and the misery of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the Fire and punishment in the grave.
