When you awake from sleep, try to be awake before dawn, and let the first words in your heart and on your tongue be te remembrance of Allah Most High. Say at this time:

"Praise be to Allah, who has brought us back to life after causing us to die, and to Whom shall be the resurrection. We have entered the morning, as has the dominion, belonging to Allah. Grandeur and might belong to Allah. Magnificence and power belong to Allah. 

We have entered the morning upon the natural faith of submission, upon the Word of Sincerity, in the religion of our Prophet, Muhammad s.a.w.s, and the nation of our Father Abraham, a pure monotheist and one who submitted to God, who was not of the idolaters.

O Allah, by You we enter the morning, and by You we enter the evening. By You we live and by You we die, and the resurrection is to You. 

O Allah, we ask You to send us to every good thing on this day; and we seek Your protection from doing evil this day, from bringing it upon a Muslim, or from anyone bringing it upon us. 

We ask You for the good of this day, and the best of what it holds, and we seek refuge with You from the evil of this day, and the evil of what it holds."
