We have entered a new day and with it all the dominion which belongs to Allah, Lord of all that exists. O Allah, I ask You for the goodness of this day, its victory, its help, its light, its blessings, and its guidance. I seek refuge in You from the evil that is in it and from the evil that follows it.
‘Asbahnaa wa ‘asbahal-mulku lillaahi Rabbil-‘aalameen, Allaahumma ‘innee ‘as’aluka khayra haathal-yawmi: Fathahu wa nasrahu wa noorahu, wa barakatahu, wa hudaahu, wa’a’oothu bika min sharri maafeehi wa sharri maa ba’dahu.

Listen to the recitation of this dua
“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).
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
O you who have believed, repent to Allah with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remove from you your misdeeds and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow [on] the Day when Allah will not disgrace the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light will proceed before them and on their right; they will say, “Our Lord, perfect for us our light and forgive us. Indeed, You are over all things competent.”
Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak and Al-Hasan Al-Basri and other said, “This is the statement that the believers will say on the Day of Resurrection, when they witness the light of the hypocrites being extinguished.” Imam Ahmad recorded that a man from the tribe of Banu Kinanah said, “I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah during the year of the Conquest (of Makkah), and heard him say,
(O Allah! Please, do not disgrace me on the Day of Resurrection.)”
