“O Allah, place light in my heart, and on my tongue light, and in my ears light and in my sight light, and above me light, and below me light, and to my right light, and to my left light, and before me light and behind me light.

Place in my soul light. Magnify for me light, and amplify for me light. Make for me light and make me a light.

O Allah, grant me light, and place light in my nerves, and in my body light and in my blood light and in my hair light and in my skin light.”

O Allah! Make for me a light in my grave and a light in my bones.

[Increase me in light, Increase me in light, Increase me in light]

[Grant me light upon light]

Al-Bukhari 11 / 116 (Hadith no. 6316) and by Muslim 1/526, 529-530 (Hadithno. 763).

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُوراً، وَفِي لِسَانِي نُوراً، وَفِي سَمْعِي نُوراً، وَفِي بَصَرِي

نُوراً، وَمِنْ فَوقِي نُوراً، وَمِنْ تَحْتِِي نُوراً، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي نُوراً، وَعَنْ شِمَالِي نُوراً،

وَمِن أَمَامِي نُوراً، وَمِنْ خَلْفِِي نُوراً، وَاجْعَلْ فِي نَفْسِي نُوراً، وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُوراً،

وَعَظِّمْ لِي نُوراً، وِاجْعَلْ لِي نُوراً، وَاجْعَلْنِي نُوراً، اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي نُوراً، وَاجْعَلْ فِي

عَصَبِي نُوراً، وَفِي لَحْمِي نُوراً، وَفِي دَمِي نُوراً، وَفِي شَعْرِي نُوراً، وَفِي بَشَرِي

نُوراً،” [“اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي نُوراً فِي قَبْرِي.. وَنُوراً فِي عِظَامِي”] [“وَزِدْنِي

نُوراً، وَزِدْنِي نُوراً، وَزِدْنِي نُوراً”] [“وَهَبْ لِي نُوراً عَلَى نُورٍ”]

Allaahummaj’al fee qalbee noora, wa fee lisaaanee noora, wa fee sam’ee noora, wa fee basaree noora, wa min fawqee noora, wa min tahtee noora, wa ‘an yameenee noora, wa ‘an shimaalee noora, wa min ‘amaamee noora, wa min khalfee noora, waj’alfee nafsee noora, wa ‘a’dhim lee noora, wa ‘adhdhim lee noora, waj’al lee noora, waj’alnee noora

Allaahumma ‘a’tinee noora, waj’al fee ‘asabee noora, wafee lahmee noora, wafee damee noora, wa fee sha’ree noora, wa fee basharee noora

Allaahum-maj’al lee noora fee qabree wa noora fi ‘idhaamee [ wa zidnee noora, wa zidnee noora, wa zidnee noora] [wa hab lee nooran ‘alaa noor]
