Dua for Friday

Dua of Sayyeda Fatima Al Zahra, on Fridays.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

O Allah, (please do) send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad.

No. 1 O Allah! Render us among the nearest of those who seek nearness to You and the most illustrious of those who turn to You and the most successful of those who ask from You and beseech You. O Allah render us among those who it as if they see you until the day of Judgment when they will meet You and do not let us die except with your pleasure. O Allah render us among those who demonstrate their sincerity towards You in their actions and those who love you (the most) among Your creation. O Allah bless Muhammad and his family and forgive us with a resolute forgiving after which we do not return to committing any sins, mistakes or errors. O Allah bless Muhammad and his family with a blessing that is increasing, eternal, pure, consecutive and continuous by Your mercy O the most merciful of those who display mercy.

No. 2 O Allah many a person arranges, prepares, sets up, and gets ready, to receive someone, hoping for his support, in search of his gift and reward. So for You, my Lord,  is my arranging and my preparation, hoping for Your grace and seeking Your gift and reward. So do not disappoint my prayers  O He who does not reject a supplicant, nor is He decreased by giving. Surely I did not come to You, confident of a good deed I have done, nor to receive intercession of one of your creation, in whom I have hope that I may seek nearness through his intercession except the intercession of Muhammad and his family Your blessings be on him and on them. I come to You hoping in the greatness of Your pardon with which you turned to those who indulged in sins and the length of their indulgence did not prevent You from granting them forgiveness. You are my Chief the Oft-returning to blessings and I am the oft-returning to mistakes. I ask You for the sake of Muhammad and his family, the Purified that You forgive me the mighty sins for none forgives the mighty [sins]  except the Mighty.O Mighty, O Mighty, O Mighty O Mighty, O Mighty, O Mighty!

Al Kahf (The Cave) - With translation

An excellent mellow recitation from Br. Imam Feysal Muhammad, Darul Quran, Chicago, IL. May Allah bless him and accept his recitation. 

[mashable]

In the Himalayan mountains in the Kashmir valley lives a community of nomads. 

The Kashmiri nomads are tied with tradition and sustain a great sense of community. They move across the land in search of greener pastures for their livestock, devoting much of their time to family and faith.

So what did everyone have for Suhoor?

I'm curious what people choose to eat in different countries and cultures: share, share, share your stories!

[rukn-e-yamani-blog]

Supplications for Suhoor

Here are a number of links to duas to be read often, sometimes daily, throughout the month during Suhoor. It is difficult to read them all, and so alternating between them may be an option. If you search the names, then you can also find them on youtube, and so you can listen to them whilst you may be eating. Please reblog so that they can be of benefit to everyone.

Dua e Iftitah - To be read every night

Du' al-Iftitah was taught by the Imam Mahdi (ajtfs)  to recite every night during the month Ramadhan. The Du'a is excellent for moulding man's attitude towards his Creator, as it discusses many aspects of the wretchedness of the human being, and the grace of Allah (swt).

O Allah: I begin the glorification of You with praising You:

اللّهُمَّ إنِّي أَفْتَتِحُ الثَّنَاءَ بِحَمْدِكَ

And You always guide us to the right out of Your favouring upon us.

وَأَنْتَ مُسَدِّدٌ لِلصَّوَابِ بِمَنِّكَ،

And I am certain that You are the most Merciful of all those who show mercy in situations of pardon and mercy

وَأَيْقَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْعَفْوِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ،

But You are very exacting in situations of giving exemplary punishment and chastisement (to the wrongdoers),

وَأَشَدُّ الْمُعَاقِبِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ النَّكَالِ وَالنِّقِمَةِ،

And You are the greatest Omnipotent in the domain of absolute power and might.

وَأَعْظَمُ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ.

O Allah: You have permitted me to pray and beseech You.

اللّهُمَّ أَذِنْتَ لِي فِي دُعَائِكَ وَمَسْأَلَتِكَ،

So, listen, O the All-hearer, to my words of praise,

فَاسْمَعْ يَا سَمِيعُ مِدْحَتِي،

And please reply to my prayer; O the All-merciful.

وَأَجِبْ يَا رَحِيمُ دَعْوَتِي،

And please overlook my slips; O the Oft-Forgiving.

وَأَقِلْ يَا غَفُورُ عَثْرَتِي،

You, O my God, have relieved so many of my griefs,

فَكَمْ يَا إلهِي مِنْ كُرْبَةٍ قَدْ فَرَّجْتَهَا،

And You have dispelled so many of my sorrows

وَهُمُومٍ قَدْ كَشَفْتَهَا،

And You have overlooked so many of my slips,

وَعَثْرَةٍ قَدْ أَقَلْتَهَا،

And You have spread over me many of Your mercies

وَرَحْمَةٍ قَدْ نَشَرْتَهَا،

And You have unlocked so many of rings of misfortunes (in which I was detained).

وَحَلْقَةِ بَلاءٍ قَدْ فَكَكْتَهَا؟

All praise be to Allah Who has not betaken a wife or son,

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَداً

And Who has no partner in the sovereignty,

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ

nor has He any protecting friend through dependence. And Magnify Him with all magnificence.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً.

All praise be to Allah with full gratitude for all His bounties.

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ بِجَمِيعِ مَحَامِدِهِ كُلِّهَا، عَلَى جَمِيعِ نِعَمِهِ كُلِّهَا.

All praise be to Allah Who has no opposition in His rule,

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي لا مُضَادَّ لَهُ فِي مُلْكِهِ،

nor there is any challenge to His commands.

وَلا مُنَازِعَ لَهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ.

All praise be to Allah Who has no counsel to meddle with His operation of creation,

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ فِي خَلْقِهِ،

nor there is anything similar to Him in His greatness.

وَلا شَبِيهَ لَهُ فِي عَظَمَتِهِ.

All praise be to Allah Whose commandments are active in the creation and the praising of Whom is incumbent.

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الْفَاشِي فِي الْخَلْقِ أَمْرُهُ وَحَمْدُهُ،

His glory is evident through His kindness,

الظَّاهِرِ بِالْكَرَمِ مَجْدُهُ،

His distinct overflowing generosity is freely available,

الْبَاسِطِ بِالْجُودِ يَدَهُ،

His unlimited bestowals do not exhaust,

الَّذِي لا تَنْقُصُ خَزَائِنُهُ،

and He does not swell the numerous benefits except because of generosity and kindness.

وَلا تَزِيدُهُ كَثْرَةُ الْعَطَاءِ إلاَّ جُوداً وَكَرَماً

Verily He is Mighty, Generous.

إنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْوَهَّابُ.

O Allah, I ask for some from much,

اللّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ قَلِيلاً مِنْ كَثِيرٍ،

in the midst of my many needs for which I entirely depend on You,

مَعَ حَاجَةٍ بِي إلَيْهِ عَظِيمَةٍ

and You since eternity, are able to do without them, but for me it is a titanic effort

وَغِنَاكَ عَنْهُ قَدِيمٌ وَهُوَ عِنْدِي كَثِيرٌ،

and for You it is very easy and simple.

وَهُوَ عَلَيْكَ سَهْلٌ يَسِيرٌ.

O Allah, truly, as You pardon my sins,

اللّهُمَّ إنَّ عَفْوَكَ عَنْ ذَنْبِي،

And You overlook my mistakes;

وَتَجَاوُزَكَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي،

And You take a lenient view of my disorderly conduct,

وَصَفْحَكَ عَنْ ظُلْمِي،

And You cover up my foul actions,

وَسِتْرَكَ عَلَى قَبِيحِ عَمَلِي،

And You show consideration in spite of my many transgressions committed willfully or negligently,

وَحِلْمَكَ عَنْ كَثِيرِ جُرْمِي عِنْدَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ خَطَإي وَعَمْدِي

All that tempted me to ask for that which I do not deserve, from You, on account of Your mercy, that You may give me the daily bread;

أَطْمَعَنِي فِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لا أَسْتَوْجِبُهُ مِنْكَ الَّذِي رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ،

And You may provide with that which is suitable for me, through Your control;

وَأَرَيْتَنِي مِنْ قُدْرَتِكَ،

And You may distinguish me with favourable reply to my requests.

وَعَرَّفْتَنِي مِنْ إجَابَتِكَ،

So, I persist in calling out, believing in You,

فَصِرْتُ أَدْعُوكَ آمِناً،

and I invoke You, talking familiarly, not afraid, nor shy,

وَأَسْأَلُكَ مُسْتَأْنِساً لا خَائِفاً وَلا وَجِلاً،

but assured of Your love and kindness whenever I turn to You.

مُدِلاً عَلَيْكَ فِيمَا قَصَدْتُ فِيهِ إلَيْكَ،

A temporary setback and I, out of ignorance, begin to despair,

فَإنْ أَبْطَأ عَنِّي عَتَبْتُ بِجَهْلِي عَلَيْكَ،

although perhaps slowing down may be a blessing in disguise, because You alone knows (all) the consequences.

وَلَعَلَّ الَّذِي أَبْطَأَ عَنِّي هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي لِعِلْمِكَ بِعَاقِبَةِ الأُمُورِ،

I do not know a generous Master who is more accommodating to the dissatisfied servants than You are to me.

فَلَمْ أَرَ مَوْلَىً كَرِيماً أَصْبَرَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ لَئِيمٍ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ،

O Lord! You give an invitation but I turn down,

يَارَبِّ، إنَّكَ تَدْعُونِي فَأُوَلِّي عَنْكَ،

And You become familiar with me but I do not care for You,

وَتَتَحَبَّبُ إلَيَّ فأَتَبَغَّضُ إلَيْكَ،

And You show affection to me but I do not correspond to You

وَتَتَوَدَّدُ إلَيَّ فَلا أَقْبَلُ مِنْكَ

as if  You are overreaching me!

كَأَنَّ لِيَ التَّطَوُّلَ عَلَيْكَ،

Yet You do not abstain from having mercy upon me and doing favours to me

فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ ذلِكَ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِي وَالإحْسَانِ إلَيَّ،

and blessing me out of Your magnanimity and generosity,

وَالتَّفَضُّلِ عَلَيَّ بِجُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ،

So, (please) have mercy on Your ignorant servant and bestow upon him with the favours of Your beneficence

فَارْحَمْ عَبْدَكَ الْجَاهِلَ وَجُدْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ إحْسَانِكَ

Verily, You are Generous and Kind.

إنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ.

All praise be to Allah: the owner of the sovereignty,

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ مَالِكِ الْمُلْكِ،

Who sets the course of skies and the stars,

مُجْرِي الْفُلْكِ،

Who controls the winds,

مُسَخِّرِ الرِّيَاحِ،

Who causes the daybreak,

فَالِقِ الإصْبَاحِ،

and Who administers the authority:

دَيَّانِ الدِّينِ،

the Lord of the worlds.

رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

All praise be to Allah for His indulgence although He has full acquaintance with all things.

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ عَلَى حِلْمِهِ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهِ،

All praise be to Allah for His amnesty although He has full power over all things.

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ عَلَى عَفْوِهِ بَعْدَ قُدْرَتِهِ،

All praise be to Allah for the respite that He allows in spite of provocation.

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ عَلَى طُولِ أَنَاتِهِ فِي غَضَبِهِ

He is able to do whatever He wills.

وَهُوَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى مَا يُرِيدُ.

All praise be to Allah, the Creator of all the created beings,

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ خَالِقِ الْخَلْقِ،

Who makes the sustenance freely available,

بَاسِطِ الرِّزْقِ،

Who starts the day,

فَالِقِ الإصْبَاحِ،

Who is the Owner of glory, might, favours, and bounties,

ذِي الْجَلالِ وَالإكْرَامِ وَالْفَضْلِ وَالإنْعَامِ

And Who is so far away that none can ever see Him,

الَّذِي بَعُدَ فَلا يُرَى،

And, at the same time, He is so near that He is fully aware of even the whispering secrets.

وَقَرُبَ فَشَهِدَ النَّجْوَى،

Blessed and Exalted be He.

تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى.

All praise be to Allah Who has no equal to challenge Him,

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ مُنَازِعٌ يُعَادِلُهُ،

nor is there an image comparable to Him,

وَلا شَبِيهٌ يُشَاكِلُهُ،

nor is there a helper to assist Him.

وَلا ظَهِيرٌ يُعَاضِدُهُ،

He tames the powerful by (His) force,

قَهَرَ بِعِزَّتِهِ الأَعِزَّاءَ،

and disgraced are the great ones before His Greatness,

وَتَوَاضَعَ لِعَظَمَتِهِ الْعُظَمَاءُ،

so He, through His power, fulfils that which He wills.

فَبَلَغَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ.

All praise be to Allah Who gives an answer to me whenever I call Him;

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي يُجِيبُنِي حِينَ أُنَادِيهِ،

And He covers up my shortcomings, yet I disobey Him;

وَيَسْتُرُ عَلَيَّ كُلَّ عَوْرَةٍ وَأَنَا أَعْصِيهِ،

And He gives me the largest part of the bounties, yet I do not show his gratitude.

وَيُعَظِّمُ النِّعْمَةَ عَلَيَّ فَلا أُجَازِيهِ،

Many an auspicious favour had He given me;

فَكَمْ مِنْ مَوْهِبَةٍ هَنِيئَةٍ قَدْ أَعْطَانِي،

And many a terrible dangers had He turned off,

وَعَظِيمَةٍ مَخُوفَةٍ قَدْ كَفَانِي،

And many a blossoming joys had He made available for me,

وَبَهْجَةٍ مُونِقَةٍ قَدْ أَرَانِي؟

Therefore, I sing His praises and recite His glorifications.

فَأُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ حَامِداً،

And mention Him with exaltation.

وَأَذْكُرُهُ مُسَبِّحاً.

All praise be to Allah Whose screen cannot be penetrated

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي لا يُهْتَكُ حِجَابُهُ،

And Whose door is not blocked;

وَلا يُغْلَقُ بَابُهُ،

And Whose beseecher is not rejected;

وَلا يُرَدُّ سَائِلُهُ،

And one who hopes Him is not disappointed.

وَلا يُخَيَّبُ آمِلُهُ.

All praise be to Allah Who secures the frightened ones,

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ الْخَائِفِينَ،

Who comes to the help of the upright ones,

وَيُنَجِّي الصَّالِحِينَ،

Who promotes the cause of the weak ones,

وَيَرْفَعُ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ،

annihilates the autocrats,

وَيَضَعُ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ،

Who destroys rulers and appoints others instead.

وَيُهْلِكُ مُلُوكاً وَيَسْتَخْلِفُ آخَرِينَ؛

All praise be to Allah; the Eradicator of the tyrants,

وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ قَاصِمِ الْجَبَّارِينَ،

The Terminator of the unjust ones,

مُبِيرِ الظَّالِمِينَ،

The Catcher of the fugitives,

مُدْرِكِ الْهَارِبِينَ،

The Punisher of the unjust ones,

نَكَالِ الظَّالِمِينَ،

The aide of the seekers of aid,

صَرِيخِ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِينَ،

The Settler of the needs of the beseechers,

مَوْضِعِ حَاجَاتِ الطَّالِبِينَ،

And the support of the the faithful believers.

مُعْتَمَدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

All praise be to Allah! In His awe-inspiring fear, the heavens and its dwellers tremble and shiver,

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي مِنْ خَشْيَتِهِ تَرْعُدُ السَّمَاءُ وَسُكَّانُهَا،

And the earth and its inhabitants shake and quiver,

وَتَرْجُفُ الأَرْضُ وَعُمَّارُهَا،

And the oceans and all that which float and swim in their waters flow together in excitement and tumult.

وَتَمُوجُ الْبِحَارُ وَمَنْ يَسْبَحُ فِي غَمَرَاتِهَا،

All praise be to Allah Who has guided us to this. We could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us.

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللّهُ.

All praise be to Allah Who creates but He is not created;

الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي يَخْلُقُ وَلَمْ يُخْلَقْ،

And He gives subsistence but He needs no provisions;

وَيَرْزُقُ وَلا يُرْزَقُ،

And He gives food to eat but He takes no nourishment,

وَيُطْعِمُ وَلا يُطْعَمُ،

And He makes the living dead

وَيُمِيتُ الأَحْيَاءَ،

And He brings the dead to life,

وَيُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى،

But He is the Everliving, there is no death for Him,

وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لا يَمُوتُ،

in His hands is all the good,

بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ،

and He is able to do all things.

وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

O the Lord of the worlds.

يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

O Allah: (please) choose him to be the caller to Your Book and the for establisher of Your religion,

اللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ الدَّاعِيَ إلَى كِتَابِكَ، وَالْقَائِمَ بِدِينِكَ،

اللّهُمَّ أَظْهِرْ بِهِ دِينَكَ وَسُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكَ

So that nothing which is just and genuine is kept concealed from anyone of the human beings.

حَتَّى لا يَسْتَخْفِيَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَخَافَةَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ.

O Allah: we ardently desire that You confer upon us a respectful government

اللّهُمَّ إنَّا نَرْغَبُ إلَيْكَ فِي دَوْلَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ

Through which You may reactivate Islam and stimulate its followers,

تُعِزُّ بِهَا الإسْلامَ وَأَهْلَهُ،

and humble and humiliate the imposters and their double-dealing shams,

وَتُذِلُّ بِهَا النِّفَاقَ وَأَهْلَهُ،

and include us among those who invite people to the obedience to You and lead them to Your approved path,

وَتَجْعَلُنَا فِيهَا مِنَ الدُّعَاةِ إلَى طَاعَتِكَ، وَالْقَادَةِ إلَى سَبِيلِكَ،

and give us the good of this world and the world to  come.

وَتَرْزُقُنَا بِهَا كَرَامَةَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ.

O Allah: let us bear out and hold up that which You make known to us as the truth,

اللّهُمَّ مَا عَرَّفْتَنَا مِنَ الْحَقِّ فَحَمِّلْنَاهُ،

and let us be fully aware of that which we fall short of doing.

وَمَا قَصُرْنَا عَنْهُ فَبَلِّغْنَاهُ.

O Allah: through him, set in order our disorder;

اللّهُمَّ الْمُمْ بِه شَعَثَنَا،

gather and unite our flock;

وَاشْعَبْ بِهِ صَدْعَنَا،

stitch together our ripped open separation;

وَارْتُقْ بِهِ فَتْقَنَا،

turn our want and poverty into enough,

وَكَثِّرْ بِهِ قِلَّتَنَا،

lift us up from our degradation;

وَأَعْزِزْ بِهِ ذِلَّتَنَا،

free us from our misery,

وَأَغْنِ بِهِ عَائِلَنَا،

pull us out from our debts,

وَاقْضِ بِهِ عَنْ مُغْرَمِنَا،

Set up our poverty

وَاجْبُرْ بِهِ فَقْرَنَا،

fill the gap created by confusion among us;

وَسُدَّ بِهِ خَلَّتَنَا،

let our difficulties be easy to deal with;

وَيَسِّرْ بِهِ عُسْرَنَا،

refine our substance and style,

وَبَيِّضْ بِهِ وُجُوهَنَا،

untie our ropes and straps;

وَفُكَّ بِهِ أَسْرَنَا،

let our efforts succeed well and secure success;

وَأَنْجِحْ بِهِ طَلِبَتَنَا،

make us fulfil our promises;

وَأَنْجِزْ بِهِ مَوَاعِيدَنَا،

give answer to our prayers;

وَاسْتَجِبْ بِهِ دَعْوَتَنَا،

listen to our requests;

وَأَعْطِنَا بِهِ سُؤْلَنَا،

cause us to obtain the good of this world and the Hereafter;

وَبَلِّغْنَا بِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ آمَالَنَا،

give us much and more than our expectations

وَأَعْطِنَا بِهِ فَوْقَ رَغْبَتِنَا،

O the Best of givers and bestowers;

يَا خَيْرَ الْمَسْؤُولِينَ، وَأَوْسَعَ الْمُعْطِينَ،

and cleanse our hearts,

اشْفِ بِهِ صُدُورَنَا،

unburden our emotions from hate and anger,

وَأَذْهِبْ بِهِ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِنَا،

and in the event of dispute in the matter of truth show us the right path,

وَاهْدِنَا بِهِ لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإذْنِكَ،

verily You guides whosoever You wills to the Right Path.

إنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ،

Let us, through him, get the better of Your enemies and our opponents,

وَانْصُرْنَا بِهِ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ وَعَدُوِّنَا

O the true God: Be it so!

إلهَ الْحَقِّ آمِينَ.

O Allah: we complain to You

اللّهُمَّ إنَّا نَشْكُو إلَيْكَ

About the departure of our Prophet —Your blessings be on him and on his Household—

فَقْدَ نَبِيِّنَا صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ،

And about the absence of our leader,

وَغَيْبَةَ وَلِيِّنَا،

And about the big numbers of our enemies,

وَكَثْرَةَ عَدُوِّنَا،

And about our few number,

وَقِلَّةَ عَدَدِنَا،

And about widespread disorder,

وَشِدَّةَ الْفِتَنِ بِنَا،

and about vicissitudes of time against us.

وَتَظَاهُرَ الزَّمَانِ عَلَيْنَا،

So, (please do) send blessings on Muhammad and on his Househod

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ،

And help us overcome all that through victory from You that You expedite

وَأَعِنَّا عَلَى ذلِكَ بِفَتْحٍ مِنْكَ تُعَجِّلُهُ،

And through relieving us from our injurites

وَبِضُرٍّ تَكْشِفُهُ،

And through Your help that You confirm

وَنَصْرٍ تُعِزُّهُ،

And through bringing in the rule of justice and fairplay,

وَسُلْطَانِ حَقٍّ تُظْهِرُهُ،

And through mercy that You expand over us

وَرَحْمَةٍ مِنْكَ تُجَلِّلُنَاهَا

And through good health that You cover us with,

وَعَافِيَةٍ مِنْكَ تُلْبِسُنَاهَا،

Out of Your mercy, O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

And the poor have resorted to Your refuge

وَوَقَفَتْ سَفِينَةُ المسَاكِينِ عَلَى سَاحِلِ بَحْرِ جُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ

And the ship of the needy have cast anchor near the coast of the sea of Your Magnanimity and Generosity

يَرْجُونَ الجَوَازَ إلَى سَاحَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَنِعْمَتِكَ.

Hoping for permission to enter the yard of Your Mercy and Favor

إلهِي إنْ كُنْتَ لا تَرْحَم فِي هَذا الشَّهْرِ الشَّرِيفِ إلاّ مَنْ أَخْلَصَ لَكَ فِي صِيَامِهِ وَقِيَامِهِ،

O my God: If You, in this holy month, will have mercy upon none but those who sincerely observe fasting and do acts of worship to You,

فَمَنْ لِلْمُذْنِبِ المُقَصِّرِ إذَا غَرِقَ فِي بَحْرِ ذُنُوبِهِ وَآثَامِهِ؟

Who will then stand for the sinful and the negligent who sinks into the ocean of his sins and offences?

إلهِي إنْ كُنْتَ لا تَرْحَم إلاّ المُطِيعِينَ فَمَنْ لِلْعاصِينَ؟

O my God: If you have mercy upon none but the obedient to You, who will then stand for the disobedient?

And if You accept none but those who do acts of worship to You, who will then stand for the negligent?

إلهِي رَبِحَ الصّائِمُونَ،

O my God: The observers of fasting have won

وَفَازَ القَائِمُونَ،

The doers of acts of worship to You have prospered

وَنَجَا الُمخْلِصُونَ،

And those who act sincerely have been saved

وَنَحْنُ عَبِيدُكَ المُذْنِبُونَ فَارْحَمْنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ،

But we, Your sinful servants, beseech Your mercy; so, (please do) have mercy upon us

وَأَعْتِقْنَا مِنَ النَّارِ بَعَفْوِك،

And release us from the chastisement of Hellfire, out of Your pardon

وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا

And forgive our sins

بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمِينَ

Out of Your mercy; O the most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

I seek refuge with the majesty of Your Honorable Face,

أَعُوذُ بِجَلالِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ

أَوْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِي هذِهِ

And there is still a sin or an offense in my record for which You may chastise me.

وَلَكَ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ أَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُعَذِّبُنِي عَلَيْهِ.

وَقَتْلاً فِي سَبِيلِكَ فَوَفِّقْ لَنَا،
