Supplication at the start of the prayer \after takbeer

Supplication at the start of the prayer (after takbeer) ‘O Allaah, distance me from my sins just as You have distanced The East from The West, O Allaah, purify me of my sins as a white robe is purified of filth, O Allaah, cleanse me of my sins with snow, water, and ice.’ ‘How perfect You are O Allaah, and I praise You. Blessed be Your name, and lofty is Your position and none has the right to be worshipped except You.’ ‘I have turned my face sincerely towards He who has brought forth the heavens and the Earth and I am not of those who associate (others with Allaah). Indeed my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are for Allaah, Lord of the worlds, no partner has He, with this I am commanded and I am of the Muslims. O Allaah, You are the Sovereign, none has the right to be worshiped except You. You are my Lord and I am Your servant, I have wronged my own soul and have acknowledged my sin, so forgive me all my sins for no one forgives sins except You. Guide me to the best of characters for none can guide to it other than You, and deliver me from the worst of characters for none can deliver me from it other than You. Here I am, in answer to Your call, happy to serve you. All good is within Your hands and evil does not stem from You. I exist by your will and will return to you. Blessed and High are You, I seek Your forgiveness and repent unto You.’ ‘O Allaah, Lord of Jibraa’eel,Meekaa’eel and Israafeel (great angels), 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.’ ‘Allaah is Most Great, Allaah is Most Great, much praise is for Allaah, much praise is for Allaah, much praise is for Allaah, and I declare the perfection of Allaah in the early morning and in the late afternoon.’ (three times) ‘I take refuge with Allaah from the devil, from the his pride, his poetry and his madness.’ The Prophet (S) would say (as an opening supplication in prayer) when rising from sleep to perform prayers during the night: ‘O Allaah, to You belongs all praise, You are the Light of the heavens and the Earth and all that is within them. To You belongs all praise, You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the Earth and all that is within them. To You belongs all praise. You are Lord of the heavens and the Earth and all that is within them. To You belongs all praise and the kingdom of the heavens and the Earth and tall that is within them. To You belongs all praise, You are the King of the heavens and the Earth and to You belongs all praise. You are The Truth, Your promise is true, Your Word is true, and the Day in which we will encounter You is true, the Garden of Paradise is true and the Fire is true, and the Prophets are true, Muhammad (S) is true and the Final Hour is true. O Allaah, unto You I have submitted, and upon You I have relied, and in you I have believed, and to You I have turned in repentance, and over You I have disputed, and to You I have turned for judgment. So forgive me for what has come to pass, and what I have hidden and what I have made public. You are Al-Muqaddim and Al-Mu’akhhir. None has the right to be worshipped except You, You are my Deity, none has the right to be worshipped except You.’
