Rukoo’ Du‘a #4
اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ رَكَعْتُ، وَبِكَ اٰمَنْتُ، وَلَكَ اَسْلَمْتُ، خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِيْ، وَبَصَرِيْ، وَمُخِّيْ، وَعَظْمِيْ، وَعَصَبِيْ، وَمَآ اَسْتَقَلَّتْ بِهِ قَدَمِيْ
O Allah! For You alone I have bowed, in You alone I have believed, and to You alone I have submitted. My hearing, my sight, my mind, my bones, my nerves— all have humbled themselves to You, and whatever my feet carry [meaning my whole being]— that too (is humbled to You).
Allaahumma laka raka‘tu, wa bika aamantu wa laka aslamtu. Khasha‘a laka sam‘ee wa basaree wa mukhkhee wa ‘azmee wa ‘asabee wa ma astaqallat bihi qadamee
