Invocations for the beginning of the prayer
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ جِبْرَائِيلَ، وَمِيْكَائِيلَ، وَإِسْرَافِيلَ، فَاطِرَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، عَالِمَ الغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ أَنْتَ تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِيمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخْتَلِفُونَ. اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقيمٍ
Allāhumma rabba jibrāʾīla, wa mīkāʾīla, wa isrāfīla, fāṭira as-samawāti wa-l-ʾarḍi, ʿālima l-ghaybi wa ash-shahādati anta taḥkumu bayna ʿibādika fīmā kānū fīhi yakhtalifūn. ihdinī limā ikhtulifa fīhi mina l-ḥaqqi bi-idhnika innaka tahdī man tashāʾu ilā ṣirāṭin mustaqym
O Allah, Lord of Jibra-eel, Meeka-eel and Israfeel great angles, Creator of the heavens and the Earth, Knower of the seen and the unseen. You are the arbitrator between Your servants in that which they have disputed. Guide me to the truth by Your leave, in that which they have differed, for verily You guide whom You will to a straight path.
