    “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.”
