Waking Up at Night

Source: Sahih al-Bukhari 1154

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ، وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ، اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي

Transliteration

La ilaha illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir. Alhamdulillah, wa subhanAllah, wa la ilaha illallah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah. Allahummaghfir li.

Translation

There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He is able to do all things. All praise belongs to Allah, glory be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest, and there is no power except with Allah. O Allah, forgive me.
