Complete Nighttime Supplications – The Serenity of the Soul Before Sleep

When night gently spreads its veil and eyes begin to close, the heart finds peace in the divine embrace, and breaths of tranquility rise with the remembrance of Allah before sleep — a quiet worship between the servant and his Lord.

Ayat al-Kursi – A Shield from Satan:
Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
(Surat Al-Baqarah: 255)

The Last Two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah:
The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” And they say, “We hear and we obey. [Grant us] Your forgiveness, our Lord. To You is the [final] destination.”
Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. “Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our Protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.”

The Three Quls (Protection Chapters):
Say: He is Allah, the One.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak.
Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind.

Supplication Before Sleep:
In Your name, O Allah, I live, and in Your name I die.

Remembrance Upon Turning During the Night:
There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion, and His is the praise, and He is over all things competent. Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. There is no power and no strength except with Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.

The Master Supplication for Forgiveness Before Sleep:
O Allah, You are my Lord, there is no god but You. You created me and I am Your servant. I abide by Your covenant and promise as best I can. I seek refuge in You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I acknowledge my sins. So forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.

Supplication When Lying Down to Sleep:
O Allah, protect me from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your servants.

Surrender and Contentment:
O Allah, I submit myself to You, and I entrust my affairs to You. I turn my face toward You, longing and fearful of You. There is no refuge and no escape from You except to You. I believe in Your Book which You revealed, and in Your Prophet whom You sent.

Tasbeeh Before Sleep (The Prophet’s ﷺ Advice to Fatimah):
Subhan Allah (33 times),
Alhamdulillah (33 times),
Allahu Akbar (34 times).

Conclusion of Nighttime Supplications:
O Allah, make our sleep a rest for our bodies and a serenity for our souls. Let us awaken to a new dawn filled with Your light and pleasure, and fill our hearts with certainty that You are the Protector who never sleeps.
