Allāhumma-j‘al fī qalbī nūrā, wa fī lisānī nūrā, wa-j‘al fī sam‘ī nūrā, wa-j‘al fī baṣarī nūrā, wa-j‘al min khalfī nūrā, wa amāmī nūrā, wa-j‘al min fawqī nūrā, wa min taḥtī nūrā, Allāhumma a‘ṭinī nūrā.

We relate in the Ṣaḥīḥ of Muslim the long hadith of Ibn ‘Abbās about a night he spent in the house of his aunt Maymūnah . He mentions the hadith about the Tahajjud prayer of the Messenger and says: “The mu’adhdhin called the adhān for Ṣubḥ, and he went out to the mosque saying: ‘O Allah, put light in my heart, light in my tongue, light in my hearing, and light in my sight. Put light behind me and put light in front of me. Put light above me and put light beneath me. O Allah, grant me light.’” ^[1].
