حِصْنُ الْمُسْلِمِ

Ḥiṣn al-Muslim

The Fortress of the Muslim

Saʿīd ibn ʿAlī ibn Wahf al-Qaḥṭānī

About this edition

The Arabic, pronunciation guide, and English are arranged in matching three-line passage groups throughout. Longer passages will wrap across several printed lines. Some reports describe what to say or do rather than give a formula to recite; these too are presented in three lines when an Arabic source passage exists. Short source-data explanations without Arabic counterparts are marked “Context.”

This edition covers every numbered entry, 1–267, and all 132 topical chapters. It is a reading and study edition, not a facsimile: the author’s original preface and the detailed hadith citations and scholarly notes from the full Arabic printing are not translated here. The small “Arabic source p.” reference under each entry lets you consult those notes in the separate complete Arabic edition.

Arabic text is authoritative when learning a supplication. The Latin line is only a pronunciation aid and cannot encode every Arabic sound. Words in angle brackets are prompts to personalize a prayer; they are not meant to be recited literally. Numbered repetition counts and wording alternatives are identified above the relevant passage.

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَريكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ للَّهِ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكبَرُ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ، رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي

There is no deity worthy of worship but Allah alone, without partner. His is the dominion and His is the praise, and He has power over all things. Glory be to Allah, all praise belongs to Allah, there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest. There is no power or strength except through Allah, the Most High, the Supreme. My Lord, forgive me.

190 In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, are signs for people of understanding. 191 They remember Allah while standing, sitting, and lying on their sides, and they reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: “Our Lord, You did not create this without purpose. Glory be to You; protect us from the punishment of the Fire.” 192 “Our Lord, anyone You admit to the Fire is truly disgraced, and the wrongdoers will have no helpers.” 193 “Our Lord, we heard a caller inviting people to faith: ‘Believe in your Lord,’ and we believed. Our Lord, forgive our sins, erase our misdeeds, and let us die among the righteous.” 194 “Our Lord, grant us what You promised through Your messengers, and do not disgrace us on the Day of Resurrection. You never break Your promise.” 195 Their Lord answered them: “I will never let the work of any of you be lost, whether male or female; you are from one another. I will erase the misdeeds of those who emigrated, were driven from their homes, were harmed in My cause, fought, or were killed, and I will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow—a reward from Allah. With Allah is the finest reward.” 196 Do not be deceived by the freedom with which the disbelievers move through the land. 197 It is only a brief enjoyment; then Hell will be their home—and what a miserable resting place. 198 But those who are mindful of their Lord will have gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will remain: a welcome from Allah. What is with Allah is better for the righteous. 199 Among the People of the Scripture are those who believe in Allah, in what was revealed to you, and in what was revealed to them. They humble themselves before Allah and do not trade Allah’s revelations for a small price. Their reward is with their Lord; Allah is swift in reckoning. 200 Believers, be steadfast, outdo one another in steadfastness, remain ready, and be mindful of Allah so that you may succeed.

Context: It is also from the Sunnah to recite Āyat al-Kursī after each prayer: [Surah al-Baqarah, Aayah 255]

﴿اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الأَرْضِ مَن ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِمَا شَاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَلَا يَؤُودُهُ حِفْظُهُمَا وَهُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ﴾

Allāhu lā ilāha illā huwa l-ḥayyu l-qayyūmu lā taʾkhudhuhu sinatun walā nawmun llahu mā fī as-samawāti wamā fī l-ʾarḍi man dhā alladhī yashfaʿu ʿindahu illā bi-idhnihi yaʿlamu mā bayna aydīhim wamā khalfahum walā yuḥīṭūna bi-shayʾin mmin ʿilmihi illā bimā shāʾa wasiʿa kursiyyuhu as-samawāti wa-l-ʾarḍa walā yaʾūduhu ḥifẓuhumā wahuwa l-ʿaliyyu l-ʿaẓīm

Allah—there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all. Neither drowsiness nor sleep overtakes Him. Everything in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Him. Who can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what lies before people and what lies beyond them, while they grasp nothing of His knowledge except what He wills. His Kursi extends over the heavens and the earth, and preserving them does not tire Him. He is the Most High, the Magnificent.

Jābir ibn ʿAbdillāh said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, taught us how to seek Allah’s guidance in every matter as carefully as he taught us a surah of the Qur’an. He said: When one of you is considering a matter, let them pray two voluntary rakʿahs, then say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ العَظِيمِ؛ فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الأمْرَ ⟨حَاجَتُكَ⟩ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ، ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ

Each believes in Allah, His angels, His scriptures, and His messengers. “We make no distinction between any of His messengers.” They say, “We hear and obey. Our Lord, we seek Your forgiveness, and to You is the final return.” 286 Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. It receives the good it earns and bears the evil it commits. “Our Lord, do not hold us to account if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, do not place upon us a burden like the one You placed upon those before us. Our Lord, do not burden us with what we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector, so grant us victory over the disbelieving people.”

247 What to say to foil the devil's plots · Arabic source p. 141

أَعُوذُ بكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَلَا فَاجِرٌ: مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ، وَبَرَأَ وَذَرَأَ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْرُجُ فيهَا، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا ذَرَأَ فِي الْأَرْضِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فِتَنِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ طَارِقٍ إِلَّا طَارِقًا يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَنُ

Aʿūdhu bkalimāti llāhi at-tāmmāti allatī lā yujāwizuhunna barrun walā fājirun: min sharri mā khalaqa, wa baraʾa wa dharaʾa, wamin sharri mā yanzilu mina as-samāʾi, wamin sharri mā yaʿruju fyhā, wamin sharri mā dharaʾa fī l-ʾarḍi, wamin sharri mā yakhruju minhā, wamin sharri fitani l-layli wa an-nahāri, wamin sharri kulli ṭāriqin illā ṭāriqan yaṭruqu bi-khayrin yā raḥmān

I take refuge within Allah’s perfect words which no righteous or unrighteous person can transgress, from all the evil that He has created, made and originated. I take refuge from the evil that descends from the sky and the evil that rises up to it. I take refuge from the evil that is spread on Earth and the evil that springs from her, and I take refuge from the evil of the tribulations of night and day, and the evil of one who visits at night except the one who brings good, O Merciful One.
