اللَّـهمّ إني عَبْدُكَ ابنُ عَبْدِكَ ابنُ أَمَتِك

“O Allah, I am Your slave, the son of Your slave.

Our position is not that of a Master.

We are a slave, our mother and father are slaves,

we are all slaves of Allah.

ناصيتي بِيَدك ماضٍ فيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضاؤكَ

My forelock is in Your Hand. Your judgment of me is inescapable. Your trial of me is just.

There is no escape from Allah except to Him alone.

  أَسألك بِكُلِّ اسمٍ هو لكَ سمّيْتَ به نفسَكَ أو أنزلْتَه في كتابِكَ أو عَلَّمتَه أحداً من خَلْقِك أو استأثَرْتَ به في عِلْمِ الغَيب عندك

I am invoking You by all the names that You call Yourself, that You have mentioned in Your Book, that You have taught to anyone in Your creation, or that You have kept unknown.

We need attachment, and that is to Allah and His Names.

When we attach to Him, we will be free, and we ask Allah by

all His Names, what we know and do not know.

أَنْ تجعلَ القرآنَ ربيعَ قلبي، ونورَ صدري وجلاءَ حزني وذهابَ هَمِّي

Let the Qur’an be the delight of my heart, the light of my chest, the remover of my sadness and the pacifier of my worries.”

We ask Allah to make the Qur'an the spring of our heart so that we are always lively, happy and looking forward to a bright future.

Being a slave to Allah + Attaching to Him + The Qur’an =

Removal of all sadness and worries

and replacement with happiness
