Evening Adhkar from the Quran
Ayat Al-Kursi
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan: ﴿Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of 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.﴾ [Al-Baqarah: 255]
The Last Two Verses of Surat Al-Baqarah
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan: ﴿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, His angels, His books, and His messengers. We make no distinction between any of His messengers. And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the final destination."﴾ ﴿Allah does not burden a soul beyond what it can bear. 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, do not lay upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with that which we have no ability to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.﴾ [Al-Baqarah: 285-286]
Surat Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, and An-Nas
Surat Al-Ikhlas: ﴿Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, Nor is there to Him any equivalent."﴾ (Three times) Surat Al-Falaq: ﴿Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak, From the evil of that which He created, And from the evil of darkness when it settles, And from the evil of the blowers in knots, And from the evil of an envier when he envies."﴾ (Three times) Surat An-Nas: ﴿Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind, The Sovereign of mankind, The God of mankind, From the evil of the retreating whisperer, Who whispers [evil] into the breasts of mankind, From among the jinn and mankind."﴾ (Three times)
