O Allah! I ask You for all goodness, now and later on, that which I know and that which I do not know, and I seek refuge with You from all evil, now and later on, that which I know and that which I do not know. O Allah! I ask You the good that which your slave and Prophet (ﷺ) asked You for, and I seek refuge with You from the evil that from which your slave and Prophet (ﷺ) sought refuge. O Allah! I ask you for Paradise and what brings one closer to it of words or deeds, and I seek refuge from you from Hell and what brings one closer to it of words or deeds, and I ask you to make every destiny that You have prescribed for me good.
