Text and Translation

As mentioned in Iqbal al-A'mal, it is recommended to say the following doxology (zikr):

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ جَوَارِحَ الْقُلُوْبِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يُحْصِي عَدَدَ الذُّنُوْبِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَخْفٰى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِيْنَ سُبْحَانَ الرَّبِّ الوَدُوْدِ سُبْحَانَ الفَرْدِ الْوِتْرِ سُبْحَانَ العَظِيْمِ الْاَعْظَمِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَايَعْتَدِيْ عَلٰى اَهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يُؤَاخِذُ اَهْلَ الْاَرْضِ بِاَلْوَانِ الْعَذَابِ سُبْحَانَ الْحَنَّانِ الْمَنَّانِ سُبْحَانَ الرَّؤُوْفِ الرَّحِيْمِ سُبْحَانَ الْجَبَّارِ الجَوَادِ سُبْحَانَ الْكَرِيْمِ الْحَلِيْمِ سُبْحَانَ البَصِيْرِ الْعَلِيْمِ سُبْحَانَ البَصِيْرِ الْوَاسِعِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَلٰى اِقْبَالِ النَّهَارِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَلٰى اِدْبَارِ النَّهَارِ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ عَلٰى اِدْبَارِ اللَّيْلِ وَاِقْبَالِ النَّهَارِ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَالْمَجْدُ وَالْعَظَمَةُ وَالْكِبْرِيَاۤءُ مَعَ كُلِّ نَفَسٍ وَكُلِّ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ وَكُلِّ لَمْحَةٍ سَبَقَ فِي عِلْمِهِ سُبْحَانَكَ مِلْءَ مَا اَحْصٰى كِتَابُكَ سُبْحَانَكَ زِنَةَ عَرْشِكَ سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ۔

Glory be to Him Who is aware of what hearts and minds strive to obtain! Glory be to Him Who knows the exact count of sins! Glory be to Him from Whose view nothing in the heavens and the earths is concealed! Glory be to the Loving Lord! Glory be to the Unique and Single! Glory be to the Great and Greatest! Glory be to Him Who does not transgress against the inhabitants of His kingdom! Glory be to Him Who does not bring down any kind of punishment upon the inhabitants of the earth! Glory be to the Kind and Compassionate! Glory be to the Oft-Forgiving and Merciful! Glory be to the Omnipotent and All-magnanimous! Glory be to the Indulgent and Liberal! Glory be to the Discerning and Wise! Glory be to the Comprehending, the All-Vast! Glory be to Allah at the coming of the day! Glory be to Allah at the departing of the day! Glory be to Allah at the departing of the night and the coming of the day! To Him alone is praise, might, greatness, and majesty, with every breath, every twinkle of an eye, and every moment already registered in His all-embracing knowledge. Glory be to You, as full as Your Book has enumerated! Glory be to You, equal to the weight of Your Throne! Glory be to You, glory be to You, glory be to You!

It is worth mentioning that scholars have confirmed that the intention (niyyah) of fasting is preferably declared after the sahar meal. It is also permissible to intend fasting at any hour of the night. It is sufficient, for the achievement of intention, to intend to observe fasting the next day for the sake of Almighty Allah and to abstain from having or doing any of the things or acts that break the fast. It is also highly recommended not to neglect the famous Salat al-Layl (Night Prayer) and not to neglect the night worship.
