‏ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيَّامُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَأَخَّرْتُ وَأَسْرَرْتُ وَأَعْلَنْتُ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ ‏

English translation

Ibn ‘Abbas said:

When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up for praying at midnight, he said: o Allah, be praise to You, You are the light of the heavens and the earth; and to You be praise; You are the maintainer of the heavens and the earth; and to You be praise, You are the heavens and the earth and what is between them; You are the truth, and Your statement is truth; and Your promise is the truth; and the visitation with You is true; and the Paradise is true and the Hell-fire is true and the Hour is true; O Allah, to You I turned my attention, and by You I disputed, and to You I brought forth my case, so forgive me my former and latter sins, and my secret and open sins, You are my deity, there is no deity but You.
