٥. A'udhu + Ayat al-Kursi
1×Quran 2:255
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ، لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ، لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ، مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ، يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ، وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ، وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ، وَلَا يَئُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا، وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
A'udhu billahi min ash-Shaytanir-Rajim.
Allahu la ilaha illa Huwal-Hayyul-Qayyum. La ta'khudhuhu sinatun wa la nawm. Lahu ma fis-samawati wa ma fil-ard. Man dhal-ladhi yashfa'u 'indahu illa bi'idhnih. Ya'lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum. Wa la yuhituna bi shay'in min 'ilmihi illa bima sha'. Wasi'a kursiyyuhus-samawati wal-ard. Wa la ya'uduhu hifzuhuma. Wa Huwal-'Aliyyul-'Azim.
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan.
Allah, there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence. Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is before them and what will be after them, and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High, the Most Great.
Ayat al-Kursi is the centrepiece of the Awrad. Recited after the Ta'awwudh.
٦. Amanar-Rasul (Last Two Verses of Al-Baqarah)
1×Quran 2:285-286
آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ، كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ، وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا وَإِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا، لَهَا مَا كَسَبَتْ وَعَلَيْهَا مَا اكْتَسَبَتْ، رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا، رَبَّنَا وَلَا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنَا إِصْرًا كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِنَا، رَبَّنَا وَلَا تُحَمِّلْنَا مَا لَا طَاقَةَ لَنَا بِهِ، وَاعْفُ عَنَّا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَارْحَمْنَا، أَنتَ مَوْلَانَا فَانصُرْنَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ
Amanar-rasulu bima unzila ilayhi mir-rabbihi wal-mu'minun. Kullun amana billahi wa mala'ikatihi wa kutubihi wa rusulihi la nufarriqu bayna ahadin mir-rusulih. Wa qalu sami'na wa ata'na ghufranaka rabbana wa ilaykal-masir.
La yukallifullahu nafsan illa wus'aha. Laha ma kasabat wa alayha mak-tasabat. Rabbana la tu'akhidhna in nasina aw akhta'na. Rabbana wa la tahmil alayna isran kama hamaltahu alal-ladhina min qablina. Rabbana wa la tuhammilna ma la taqata lana bih. Wa'fu anna, waghfir lana, warhamna, anta mawlana fansurna alal-qawmil-kafirin.
The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and so have the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, saying: "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say: "We hear and we obey. Grant us Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the final destination."
Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear. For it is what it has earned, and against it is what it has brought upon itself. Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we forget or make an error. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us, and forgive us, and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah at night, they will suffice him." (Sahih Bukhari 5010). These verses are a standard part of the Awrad recited after Ayat al-Kursi.
٧. Tasbeeh (Glorification)

MultipleAwrad-i-Fateha
لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلكُ وَلَهُ الحَمدُ يُحيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَدِيرٌ
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu yuhyi wa yumitu wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir
There is no god but Allah, alone, with no partner. To Him belongs the dominion and all praise. He gives life and causes death, and He has power over all things.

١٤. Central Dua (Praise Beyond Counting)
1×Sahih Muslim 486 / Awrad-i-Fateha
لَا أُحصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيكَ أَنتَ كَمَا أَثنَيتَ عَلٰى نَفسِكَ
اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّا نَسأَلُكَ رِضَاكَ وَالجَنَّةَ وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِن سَخَطِكَ وَالنَّارِ
اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّا نَسأَلُكَ خَيرَ هٰذَا اليَومِ وَخَيرَ مَا فِيهِ وَخَيرَ مَا بَعدَهُ
وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِن شَرِّ هٰذَا اليَومِ وَشَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَشَرِّ مَا بَعدَهُ
La uhsi thana'an alayka, anta kama athnayta ala nafsik.
Allahumma inna nas'aluka ridaka wal-jannah, wa na'udhu bika min sakhatika wan-nar.
Allahumma inna nas'aluka khayra hadhal-yawmi wa khayra ma fihi wa khayra ma ba'dah.
Wa na'udhu bika min sharri hadhal-yawmi wa sharri ma fihi wa sharri ma ba'dah.
I cannot enumerate Your praises. You are as You have praised Yourself.
O Allah, we ask You for Your pleasure and Paradise, and we seek refuge in You from Your anger and the Fire.
O Allah, we ask You for the good of this day and the good of what is in it and the good of what comes after it.
And we seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil of what is in it and the evil of what comes after it.
"La uhsi thana'an alayk" is from the Prophet's ﷺ own du'a, recorded in Sahih Muslim. He would pray it and say he cannot praise Allah as Allah deserves.

3×Quran 1:1-7
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا الضَّالِّينَ
Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim
Alhamdulillahi Rabbil-'alamin. Ar-Rahmanir-Rahim. Maliki yawmid-din. Iyyaka na'budu wa iyyaka nasta'in. Ihdinas-siratal-mustaqim. Siratal-ladhina an'amta 'alayhim ghayril-maghdubi 'alayhim wa lad-dallin.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
All praise is for Allah, Lord of all the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us to the straight path - the path of those You have blessed, not of those who have earned anger, nor of those who are astray.
The Awrad closes with Surah al-Fatiha recited three times. This is why the booklet is called "Aurad-e-Fateha" (the litanies of the Opening). Its recitation completes the circle: the Awrad opens with Bismillah from Fatiha and closes with Fatiha itself. Recite three times and blow gently.
All references are to authenticated narrations from the books of hadith. Where a source is listed as Quran, the text is from the Mushaf directly. The Awrad-e-Fateha is sourced from the published booklet of Khanqah-i-Mualla, Kashmir.
