On Going to Bed Allahumma bismika amootu wa ah-yaa O Allah, in your name I die (sleep) and I become alive (awake). ( Bukhari Kitab-ud- Da`awaat). Prayer No. 1 in this section has already told us that the state of sleep is similar to the state of death. Since God alone controls the span of our life and He alone decides about the hour of our eventual death, therefore we entrust ourselves to God before we retire for sleep. 4. 2 4. 2 4. 2 4. 2 4. 2 P P P P P RA RA RA RA RAYERS YERS YERS YERS YERS — P — P — P — P — P RA RA RA RA RAYERS YERS YERS YERS YERS OF OF OF OF OF THE THE THE THE THE H H H H H OL OL OL OL OLY Y Y Y Y P P P P P ROPHET ROPHET ROPHET ROPHET ROPHET SA SA SA SA SA
