Hazrat Fatimah az- Zahra’s (S.A.) Worship
By: Baqir Shareef al-Qurashi
The happiest times Fatimah (s.a.) had were the times when she
communicated with her Lord in prayer. When she offered the prayer, her
heart traveled high to the Divine Sphere, and her body shook out of the
fear of her Lord.
After each prayer, Fatimah (s.a.) devotedly supplicated to her Lord with some du’as. The following are some of those du’as:
Her Du’a after the Dhuhr (noon) Prayer
When Fatimah (s.a.) finished the Dhuhr Prayer, she recited this du’a,
“Glory be to the Glorious, High, Sublime One. Glory be to the One of the
great honor. Glory be to the One of the eternal, superior sovereignty.
Praise be to Allah by Whose blessing I have reached what I have had of
the knowledge of Him, the doing for Him, the turning to Him, and the
obeying of His command, and praise be to Allah Who has made me not deny
anything of His Book, and not confused in anything of His affair, and
praise be to Allah Who has guided me to His religion, and not made me
worship anything else than Him.
O Allah, I ask You for the
saying and the doing of repentants, the rescue and reward of mujahidin,
the faith and reliance of believers, ease at death and security at
reckoning.
O Allah, make death the best absentee I am waiting
for, and the best visitor that visits me, and endow me at the coming of
death, at its attacking, at its pangs, and when the soul comes down from
between the clavicles, and when it reaches the throat, and at my
leaving this world, and at that moment when I have no power over any
good or harm to myself, nor distress or ease, (endow me) with a mercy
from Your mercy, and a share from Your contentment, and a good tiding
from Your honor, before You take my life and make the Angel of Death
dominate over my soul, with a good tiding from You!
O my Lord,
there is no one other than You that pleases by it (mercy and good
tiding) my bosom, satisfies my soul, delights my eye, makes my face beam
with joy, my complexion shine, my heart feel safe, and all my body
rejoice at it that all those who see me from Your creation and hear
about me from Your people envy me it. You make by it the agonies of
death easy for me, relieve me from its grief, alleviate its severity,
save me from its trouble, take away from me its grief and regret, keep
me from its sorrow and sedition, protect me from its evil and the evil
of that which comes to its (death) people, and endow me by it with its
good and the good of that which comes with it and the good of that which
will come after it.
And then if You make me die and take my
soul, make my soul among the successful souls, and my spirit among the
good spirits, and my body among the purified bodies, and make my deeds
among the accepted deeds, and then grant me in my grave in the earth,
and the place of my shield where my flesh is entombed, and my bone is
buried, and I am left alone helplessly exiled by the land and deserted
by people, and when I miss Your mercy, and need my good deeds, and meet
what I have done for my afterlife and done in the days of my life,
(grant me) a success from Your mercy, and a gleam from Your light, and a
confirmation from Your honor with the firm word in this worldly life
and in the hereafter, You cause the unjust to go astray and do what You
please. Then bless my resurrection and reckoning when the ground is
split to me and people abandon me, the cry befalls me, the gust
frightens me, and You resurrect me after death and send me for
reckoning. Send with me, O my Lord, a light from Your mercy moving
before me and on my right hand to reassure me with it, make my heart
steadfast (with it), show my excuse, honor my face, confirm my speech,
declare my proof, take me to the firm handhold of Your mercy, and put me
in the high rank of Your paradise, and grant me the companionship of
Muhammad Your slave and messenger in the highest rank of the Paradise,
and its best virtue, best gift, and most successful aspiration with
those upon whom You have bestowed favors from among the prophets, the
truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous, and a goodly company are they.
O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad the last of the prophets, and on
all the prophets and the messengers, and all the angels, and on his
good, pure progeny, and on all the imams of guidance; Amen, O Lord of
the worlds.
O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad as You have
guided us by him, send blessings on Muhammad as You have had mercy on us
by him, send blessings on Muhammad as You have preferred us by him,
send blessings on Muhammad as You have honored us by him, send blessings
on Muhammad as you have enlightened us by him, and send blessings on
Muhammad as You have saved us from a brink of an abyss of Fire.
O
Allah, honor his face, exalt his rank, make his authority prevail,
perfect his light, make his scales heavy, confirm his proof, grant him
until he is pleased, make him get to the high degree and means in the
Paradise, take him to the praised position that You have promised him,
make him the best of prophets and messengers to You in rank and means,
make us follow him, give us to drink from his cup, make us get to his
pond, resurrect us in his company, make us die on his religion, make us
follow his paths, and carry out his Sunna being not abased, regretful,
doubtful or apostate.
O You, that Your door is opened for Your
suppliants, and Your screen is raised for those who hope for You, O You,
the Concealer of bad things, and Healer of wounded hearts, do not
expose me in the stand of the (Day of) Resurrection with sins, and do
not turn Your honored face away from me from among people.
O
You, the aim of the distressed poor, and the Healer of broken bones,
forgive me my great sins and do not expose my inner sins, clean my heart
from the burden of errors, and grant me with good preparedness for the
coming of death.
O You the Most Generous of the generous, and
the utmost hope of the begging ones, You are my Lord; You have opened to
me the door of supplication and repentance, so do not close before me
the door of acceptance and responding, and save me by Your mercy from
Fire, put me up in the abodes of the Gardens, make me cling to the
firmest handhold, make my end a happy one, and make me live with peace.
O Most Gracious, Most Perfect, Most Glorious, Most Lofty, do not let an
enemy or envier rejoice at my misfortune, and do not let an oppressive
ruler overpower me nor a mutinous devil, by Your mercy O the Most
Merciful of the merciful, and there is no power save in Allah, the Most
High, the Most Great, and may Allah send blessings and peace on Muhammad
and his progeny.”26
Her Du’a after the Asr Prayer
After the Asr (afternoon) Prayer, Fatimah (s.a.) supplicated to Allah with the following du’a:
“Glory be to Him Who is aware of what the hearts (minds) obtain! Glory
be to Him who knows the exact count of sins! Glory be to Him to Who
nothing in the earth or in the heaven is unknown! Praise be to Allah Who
has not made me ungrateful to His blessings, nor a denier to His favor.
All good is from Him and He is the most fit for it! Praise be to Him
for His irrefutable authority over all that He has created from those
who obey and do not obey Him. If He shows mercy, it is from His favor,
and if He punishes, it is for what people themselves have committed, and
Allah wills no injustice to His creatures.
Praise be to Allah the most high in place, of most exalted erection, of
strongest pillars, of most glorious authority, most greatest position,
of clear proof, the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Giver, the Benefactor.
Praise be to Allah Who has hidden from every creature that sees Him by
the truth of Deity, and the power of Oneness; so sights cannot
comprehend Him, nor can news include Him. No measurement can measure
Him, and no mind can imagine Him because He is the Almighty Sovereign.
O Allah, verily You see my place, hear my speech, know of my affairs,
know what there is inside my soul, and nothing of my affairs is hidden
to You. I have come to You offering my request, asking You for my need,
beseeching You for my demand, and asking You due to poverty and
neediness, meanness and distress, and misery and wretchedness.
You are the Lord Who is Generous of forgiveness; You can find another
than me to punish him, but I cannot find another than You to forgive me.
You can do without my punishment, but I cannot do without Your mercy. I
beg You by my need to You and Your doing without me, and by Your power
over me and my weakness before You to make this supplication of mine
receive a response from You, and this standing of mine receive a mercy
from You, and this request of mine receive a success. (O my Lord)
whatever difficulty I fear, make it easy to me, and whatever failure I
fear, afford it to me, and whoever from all the creatures intends evil
to me, defeat him; Amen O the Most Merciful of the merciful. (O my Lord)
make easy to me what I fear its severity, and relieve me from what I
fear its distress, and make easy to me what I fear its hardship, Amen O
the Lord of the Worlds!
O Allah, take self-deceit, hypocrisy,
haughtiness, oppression, envy, weakness, doubtfulness, faintness,
illnesses, diseases, treason, cunning, trickery, calamity and corruption
off my hearing and sight, and guide me to what You like and please, O
the Most Merciful of the merciful.
O Allah, send blessing on
Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and forgive my sin, cover my
defect, calm down my fear, relieve my distress, suffice my poverty, make
easy my need, pardon my slip, gather me with my family, and save me
from all what may distress me; what is unknown to me, known to me, and
all what I fear from You, O the Most Merciful of the merciful!
O
Allah, I have entrusted my affairs to You, delivered my back to You,
and handed over my self to You with all what I have committed against it
out of fear and desire, and You are the Generous One that do not let
down hope and do not disappoint supplication, so I ask You by the right
of Your friend Abraham, and Your speaker (with) Moses, and Your soul
Jesus, and Your choice and prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) not to
keep Your Face away from me until You accept my repentance and forgive
my errors, O the Most Merciful of the merciful!
O Allah, make my
revenge on him who has oppressed me and give victory on him who has
feuded me. O Allah, do not make my trial be in my faith, and do not make
the worldly life be my foremost interest or the end of my knowledge!
O Allah, better my faith which is the protection of my affairs, and
better my life in which my living is, and better my afterlife in which
my resurrection will be there, and make life to me a growth in every
good, and make death a relief to me from every evil!
O Allah, You are the Most Pardoner and You love pardoning, so pardon me!
O Allah, make me live if You know that life is better for me, and make
me die if death is better for me. I ask for (granting me) fearing You in
absence and presence, and fairness at anger and satisfaction, and I ask
You for (making me practice) economy in poverty and wealth, and I ask
You for a bliss that does not cease, and delight that does not stop, and
I ask You for satisfaction after (Your) judgment, and I ask You for the
pleasure of the looking at Your Face.
O Allah, I ask You to
guide me to my best affairs, and seek Your protection from the evil of
my soul. O Allah, I have done wrong and been unjust to myself, so
forgive me for that no one forgives sins except You. O Allah, I ask You
to hasten Your hale to me, give me patience toward Your trial, and take
me out of this life to Your mercy.
O Allah, I ask You, Your
angels, the carriers of Your Throne, and all there is in the heavens and
the earth to witness that You are Allah and there is no God but You
alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is Your slave and messenger. O
You, Who had been before the existence of anything, Who are the Creator
of everything, and Who will exist after when there will be nothing
existing.
And I ask You that praise is to You that there is no God but You, the Creator of the heavens and the earth.
O Allah, to Your mercy I have raised my sight, and to Your bounty I
have stretched my hand, so do not prevent me while I am begging You, and
do not punish me while I am asking You to forgive me. O Allah, forgive
me for You are aware of me, and do not punish me for You are powerful
over me by Your mercy, O the Most Merciful of the merciful.
O
Allah, the One of the vast mercy and the availing, exalting, and
purifying prayer, bless the best one of Your people to You, the most
beloved one of them to You, and the most prominent of them to You;
Muhammad, Your slave and messenger, who has been preferred with the
virtues of (being) the means, with the noblest, most perfect, most
exalted, greatest, and the best blessings that You have ever blessed a
messenger of You and a trustee of Your revelation.
O Allah, as
You have closed (ended) by him (Prophet Muhammad) blindness, and opened
by him guidance, make the methods of his ways brilliance to us, and the
proofs of his authority as means to us by which we come to You.
O
Allah, praise be to You inasmuch as the seven heavens and their layers,
and inasmuch as the seven earths and what there is between them, and
inasmuch as the Throne of our Generous Lord and the scales of our
Forgiving Lord, and inasmuch as the words of our Mighty Lord, and
inasmuch as the Paradise and the Fire, and inasmuch as the number of
soil, water, and all what is seen and what is not seen.
O Allah,
make Your blessings, benediction, favor, forgiveness, mercy,
pleasedness, peace, remembrance, light, honor, bounty, and good on
Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad as You had benediction, blessing,
and mercy on Abraham and the progeny of Abraham, You are Praised,
Glorious.
O Allah, give Muhammad the great means and the most
benefic of Your reward in the end until You honor him on the Day of
Resurrection, O the Lord of guidance.
O Allah, send blessings on
Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad, and on all of Your angels,
prophets and messengers. Peace be on Gabriel, Michael, Israfel, the
carriers of the Throne, Your Archangels, the noble recorders (angels),
the close angels and peace be on all of Your angels.
Peace be on
our father Adam and our mother Eve, and peace be on all the prophets,
the truthful, the martyrs, and the righteous, and peace be on all the
messengers, and praise be to Allah the Lord of the worlds, and there is
no power save in Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.”27
Her Supplication after the Maghrib (Sunset) Prayer
“Praise be to Allah Who sayers cannot come at His praise, and praise be
to Allah Who counters cannot count His bounties, and praise be to Allah
Who strivers cannot perform what He deserves.
There is no God
but Allah, the First and the Last, and there is no God but Allah the
Apparent and the Hidden, and there is no God but Allah the Giver of life
and the Maker of death. Allah is Most Great of Might, and Allah is Most
Great of Everlastingness.
Praise be to Allah Who knowers cannot
come at His knowledge nor do the ignorant disparage His patience, nor
can praisers come at His praise, nor can depicters depict His features,
nor can creatures well describe Him.
Praise be to Allah, the
Possessor of dominion and kingdom, of might and invincibility, of honor
and glory, of majesty and magnificence, of dignity and beauty, of power
and might, of might and strength, of bounty and dominance, of favor and
influence, of justice and truth, of creation and exaltedness, of
sublimity and grandeur, of virtue and wisdom, of richness and
generosity, of giving and preventing, of patience and knowledge, of
irrefutable argument, ample bounty, good, beautiful praise, gracious
blessings, the King of the life and the afterlife, of the paradise and
the fire and what there is in them, was He blessed and exalted.
Praise be to Allah Who knows the secrets of the unseen, and is aware of
what hearts earn. There is no escape or runaway from Him.
Praise
be to Allah, the Lofty in His dominion, the Glorious in His place, the
Predominant in His kingdom, the Powerful in His seizing, the High above
His throne, the Aware of His creation, the Doer of whatever He wills by
His knowledge. Praise be to Allah by Whose words the firmamental heavens
have been erected, the plain earths have been fixed, the firm mountains
have been set upright, the pollinating winds have been blown, the
clouds have moved in the sphere of the sky, the seas have restrained at
their boundaries, the hearts have been afraid of Him, and lords have
submitted to his deity.
Blessed You are, O the Counter of rain drops and tree leaves, and the Reviver of dead bodies for Resurrection.
Glory be to You, the Lord of glory and honor for whatever You do to the
poor stranger when he comes to You resorting, calling for help, and for
whatever You do to him who lodges in Your yard, looks forward to Your
content, and resorts to You, and he kneels before You complaining to You
of what is not unknown to You. O my Lord, let my chance in my
supplication not be deprivation, and my share in what I hope from You
not be disappointment!
O You Who had existed, is existing, and
will exist as He has still been over every soul with what it has earned.
O You Who has made the days of life to elapse, its months to change,
and its years to turn while You are Everlasting that neither do times
wear You out, nor do ages change You.
O You Whom each day with
You is new and each sustenance with You is ready for the weak, the
strong, and the severe. You have divided sustenance between the
creatures and equaled the ant with the sparrow.
O Allah, if
residing narrows to people, we seek Your protection from the narrowness
of residence. O Allah, if the Day of Resurrection is prolonged to
criminals, shorten that day to us as (the period) between a prayer and
another. O Allah, if the sun becomes close to the skulls and there is
between it and the skulls a measure of one mile and its heat is
increased to the heat of ten years, we ask You to shade us with clouds,
and erect for us pulpits and chairs to sit on and people get free in the
place, Amen O the Lord of the Worlds.
I ask You, O Allah, by
these praises to forgive me, pardon me, dress me with hale in my body,
and safety in my religion. I ask You and I am sure of Your response to
my request, and I call upon You and I know of Your listening to my call,
so listen to my supplication and do not end my hope, do not repel my
praising and do not disappoint my supplication. I am in need of Your
content and I am poor to Your forgiving. I ask You and I am desperate of
Your mercy, and I call upon You and I am not safe from Your wrath.
O my Lord, respond to me and favor me with Your pardon, and make me die
while I am Muslim, and join me to the righteous. O my Lord, do not
prevent Your favor from reaching me O All Gracious, and do not entrust
me to my-self forlornly, O All Compassionate.
O my Lord, extend
mercy, at the separation of lovers, to my dying, and at the quiet of the
grave to my loneliness, and at the wild of (the day of) Resurrection to
my forlornness, and before You standing for reckoning to my
destitution.
O my Lord, I ask You to rescue me from Fire, so
rescue me! O my Lord, I seek Your protection from Fire, so protect me! O
my Lord, I resort to You from Fire, so take me away (from it)! O my
Lord, I seek Your mercy out of my distress, so have mercy on me! O my
Lord, I ask You to forgive me what I have been ignorant of, so forgive
me! O my Lord, supplication has taken me forth for the need to You, so
do not disappoint me, O You the Generous One of favors, charity, and
pardoning!
O my Lord, Beneficent, Merciful, respond to my call
from among the suppliants to You, and pity, from among the weepers, my
tear, and make in the meeting with You, on the day when I leave this
world, my relief, and cover among the dead, O the Great Hoped One, my
defect, and pity me at the going alone to my hole (grave), You are my
hope, the place of need, and the Knower of what I want in directing my
request.
O the Provider of needs, provide my need! To You is the
complaint and You are the Helper and the Hoped One. I escape to You
from sins, so receive me, and I resort from Your justice to Your
forgiveness, so apprehend me, and I resort to Your pardon from Your
punishment, so protect me, and I hope Your mercy against Your punition,
so save me, and I want the closeness to You by Islam, so approach me (to
You), and from the great horror keep me safe, and in the shadow of Your
Throne shade me, and two portions of Your mercy grant to me, and from
this world protect me, and from darkness to light take me out, and on
the Day of Resurrection honor me and with easy reckoning reckon with me,
and do not expose me with my hidden defects, and against Your trials
make me patient, and as You had kept impurity and un-chastity away from
Yousuf (Joseph), keep it away from me, and whatever I cannot bear do not
burden me with, and to the Abode of Peace guide me, and by the Qur'an
benefit me, and by the true saying fix me, and from the cursed Satan
save me, and by Your power, might, and dominance protect me, and by Your
patience, knowledge, and vast mercy deliver me, and in Your Garden of
Paradise house me, and with the looking at Your face endow me, and to
Your prophet Muhammad join me, and from devils, their followers, and
from the evil of every evildoer rescue me!
O Allah, and my
enemies and whoever intends evil against me if they come by land, coward
their brave, scatter their gathering, blunt their weapons, hamstring
their mounts, afflict them with storms and thunderbolts forever until
You put them into Fire, degrade them from their forts, and make us
dominate over them, Amen O the Lord of the Worlds.
O Allah,
bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad with a blessing with which
bear witness the first ones of the righteous, the master of the
messengers, the last of the prophets, the leader of good, and the key of
mercy.
O Allah, the Lord of the Inviolable House and the
inviolable month, the Lord of the Sacred Monument, the Lord of the
Pillar and the Temple (of Abraham), and the Lord of consecration and the
breaking of consecration, send to the soul of Muhammad from us the
greeting and peace.
Peace be on you O messenger of Allah. Peace
be on you O the trustee of Allah. Peace be on You O Muhammad son of
Abdullah. Peace be on you and Allah’s mercy and blessings. He is, as You
have described him, to the believers most kind and merciful. O Allah,
give him (Muhammad) the best of what he has asked You for, and the best
of what You have been prayed for him, and the best of what is prayed for
him until the Day of Resurrection, Amen O the Lord of the Worlds.”28
Her Supplication after the Isha (evening) Prayer
Glory be to Him that everything is humble to His greatness. Glory be to
Him that everything is low to His glory. Glory be to Him that
everything submits to His command and dominance. Glory be to Him that
all affairs with their reins are subdued to Him.
Praise be to
Allah Who does not forget whoever remembers Him. Praise be to Allah that
whoever calls upon Him is not disappointed. Praise be to Allah Who
suffices whoever relies on Him.
Praise be to Allah the Raiser of
the heaven, the Leveler of the earth, the Blocker of seas, the Piler of
mountains, the Creator of living beings, the Maker of trees, the
Splitter of springs of the ground, the Manager of affairs, the Driver of
clouds, the Guider of winds, water and fire from the bottoms of the
earth rising in the space, and the Descender of hot and cold, by Whose
blessing good deeds are completed, and by thanking Him increases are
deserved, and by Whose command the heavens have been established, and by
Whose glory mountains have stabilized, beasts in the deserts and birds
in nests are glorifying.
Praise be to Allah the Highest of
ranks, the Revealer of signs, the Great in blessings, the Coverer of
defects, the Accepter of good deeds, the Pardoner of errors, the
Reliever of distresses, the Giver of blessings, the Responder to
prayers, the Reviver of the dead, and the God of whatever is in the
earth and the heavens.
Praise be to Allah for every praise and
remembrance, every thanking and patience, every prayer and zakat, every
reverence and worship, every happiness and blessing, every increase and
mercy, every bounty, honor, and obligation, every joy and distress,
every grief and ease, every calamity and affliction, every ease and
difficulty, every wealth and poverty, and in any case and at any
occasion and time, and in any abode, resort and residence.
O
Allah, I am resorting to You, so shelter me, and I am seeking Your
protection, so protect me, and asking for Your assistance, so assist me,
and calling for Your help, so help me, and praying to You, so respond
to me, and asking You for forgiveness, so forgive me, seeking Your
victory, so render victory to me, and asking You for guidance, so guide
me, and relying on You alone, so suffice me, and seeking refuge with
You, so house me, and clinking to Your covenant, so save me, and
depending on You, so suffice me, and make me in Your protection, guard,
refuge, shelter, watch, security, sanctum, safety, under Your shadow,
and under Your wing.
(O Allah) make on me a protective shield
from You, and make Your guard, watch, security and protection from
behind and before me, and on my right, my left, from above, under and
around me so that no one from the creatures can reach me with evil and
harm. There is no God but You. You are the All-Gracious, the Creator of
the heavens and the earth, the Lord of glory and honor.
O Allah,
suffice me against the envy of enviers, the wronging of wrongdoers, the
plotting of plotters, the cunning of cunning ones, the tricks of
tricksters, the assassination of assassinators, the backbiting of
backbiters, the injustice of the unjust, the oppression of oppressors,
the aggression of aggressors, the despise of despisers, the frowning of
frowners, the attack of attackers, the stinginess of the stingy, the
unfairness of the unfair, the erring of the erring ones, the slander of
slanderers, the tale-bearing of talebearers, the magic of magicians,
devils and Satan, and the oppression of rulers, and the evil of all
people.
O Allah, I ask You by Your retained, good, pure name by
which the heavens and the earth have been set, to which darkness has
shone and the angels have glorified, and from which hearts are afraid,
and necks have submitted, and by which You have revived the dead, (I ask
You) to forgive me every error I have committed in the darkness of
night and in the light of day intendedly or inattentively, secretly or
openly, and to endow me with certainty, guidance, light, knowledge, and
understanding so that I fulfill Your Book, follow what You have made
lawful, refrain from what You have made unlawful, carry out Your
obligations, and fulfill the Sunna of Your Prophet Muhammad.
O
Allah, join me to the righteous of those who had passed away, make me
from the righteous of those who have remained, and end my deeds with the
best of them, You are Forgiving, Merciful. O Allah, if my age ends, the
days of my life elapses, and it is inevitable for me to meet You, I ask
You O Most Kind to give me from the Paradise an abode that the first
ones and the last ones envy me by it.
O Allah, accept my
praising, and pity my beseeching and my confession against myself, for I
have made You hear my voice from among the suppliants, and my devotion
among the devotees, my praising among the speakers, and my
glorifications among the praisers, and You are the Responder to the
distressed, the Assistant of those who ask for assistance, the Helper of
the desirous, the Resort of the runners away, the Succorer of the
believers, and the Pardoner of sinners, and may Allah have blessings on
the bringer of good tidings and the warner, and the shining lantern
(Prophet Muhammad), and on all the angels and the prophets.
O
Allah, the Expander of the expanded things, the Creator of the high
(heavens), the Molder of hearts on their natures; the happy and unhappy
ones, make the noblest of Your blessings, the greatest of Your
benedictions, and the most honorable of Your greetings on Muhammad Your
slave, messenger, and trustee over Your revelation, the undertaker of
Your authority, the defender of Your sanctum, the announcer of Your
command, the declarer of Your signs, and the fulfiller of Your vow.
O Allah, grant him (Muhammad) for every virtue of his virtues,
attribute of his attributes, state of his states, and a position of his
positions in which You have seen Muhammad a helper to You, patient with
Your bitter trials, an enemy to whoever has feuded You, a supporter to
whoever has supported You, faraway from what You have hated, and a
caller for what You have liked, (grant him) with favors from Your
reward, and special gifts from Your gifts and preference by which You
honor his affair and exalt his rank with the achievers of Your justice
and the defenders of Your sanctum, until no sublimity, splendor, mercy,
and glory remain but You grant to Muhammad, and take him to the highest
of ranks and most exalted of positions, Amen O the Lord of the worlds.
O Allah, I entrust You with my religion, soul, and all Your bounties on
me. O Allah, make me in Your protection, security, glory and guard.
Glorious is the resorter to You, sublime is Your praise, sanctified are
Your attributes, and there is no god but You. Sufficient to me You are
in prosperity and misfortune, ease and distress, and Most Excellent is
He Whom we rely on.
O our Lord, on You we have relied, to You we
have turned, and to You is the returning. O our Lord, do not make us a
lure to those who have disbelieved, and forgive us, You are the Mighty,
Wise.
O our Lord, turn away from us the punishment of hell,
surely the punishment thereof is a lasting anguish. Surely, it is an
evil abode and an evil place to rest in. Our lord, decide between us and
our people with truth, and You are the best of deciders.
Our
Lord, we have believed; therefore, forgive us our sins, and remit from
us our evil deeds, and make us die with the righteous. Our Lord, and
grant us what You have promised us by Your messengers, and disgrace us
not on the day of resurrection; surely You do not fail to perform the
promise.
Our Lord, do not punish us if we forget or make a
mistake. Our Lord, do not lay on us a burden as You did lay on those
before us. Our Lord, do not impose upon us that which we have not the
strength to bear, and pardon us and grant us protection and have mercy
on us, You are our Patron, so help us against the unbelieving people.
Our Lord, grant us good in this world and good in the hereafter, and
save us from the chastisement of the fire, and may Allah have blessing
and peace on our master Muhammad the Prophet and on his pure progeny.”29
