O my Allah! O He who sees clearly
through what hearts and minds desire secretly, makes good and
settles all complaints, knows full well the ins and outs of whatever
is kept undisclosed, the ultimate fulfillment of all desires! O He
who is the prime source of happiness for the (faithful) servants! O
He who deals with gently and grants favours! O He who overlooks with
subtle finesse! O He who gives without strings attached! O He who is
not unaware of the covering darkness of nights, the roaring clamour
of the seas, the supporting columns (substance) of the skies, the
locked, shut up hindrance of disorder! O He for whom (whatever is
in) darkness is as visible as (in) light! I beseech Thee in the name
of the splendour of Thy kind and gentle style that made bright the
"view" on the mountain, by leveling it to the ground, the flash of
which made Moosa prostrate himself in adoration; and in the name of
Thy name that has raised (suspended) the skies without (supporting)
pillars, and spread the earth on the stable surface of the water; in
the name of Thy pure name written clearly, kept well guarded and
treasured, which brings results whenever invoked, grants favours
whenever a request is made; in the name of Thy Holy, Sacred and
Decisive name which is superior to all lights, a "light" that lights
up all lights, the earth got split when came into contact with it,
the heavens made an opening when it reached there, and when it came
near the Arsh (Divine seat of authority) it went wild with joy (rapt
in delight); in the name of Thy name which makes Thy Angels change
to and fro with ease their movement. I beseech Thee in the name of
Jabra-eel, Meekaa-eel and Israafeel; in the name of Muhammad Al
Mustafa, blessings of Allah be on him and on his children, and on
all the Prophets and on the Angels; in the name of the name with
Khizr recited to walk over the tidal waves as he used to walk on the
hard level ground; in the name of Thy name which divided the sea
(laid open a track of land) for Moosaa but drowned Firawn and his
followers, and delivered safely (to the shore) Moosa son of Imran
together with those who were with him; in the name of Thy name which
summoned Moosa son of Imran to come to the blessed Toor, and gave
answer to his request, filled him with Thy love; in the name of Thy
name which Eesaa son of Maryam used for bringing the dead to life,
(which) made the just born (Eesaa) talk clearly (sitting) in his
cradle, (and when he grew up) cure the born blind and the lepers; in
the name of Thy name which makes the bearers of Thy Arsh, Jibraa-eel,
Meekaa-eel, Israafeel, Thy intimate friend and confidant, Muhammad
(blessings of Allah be on him and on his children), Thy confidential
Angels, the Prophets appointed by Thee, and Thy chosen upright
servants among the inhabitants of the heavens and the earths, pray
fro Thy blessings; in the name of Thy name Zunnoon (Yoonus) recited
to invoke Thee; (when he went off in anger and deemed that we had no
power over him but he cried out in the darkness, saying. "There is
no god save Thee. Be Thou glorified! Verily, I have been a
wrongdoer." Then We heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish.
Thus We save the believers, in the name of Thy great name Dawood
recited and prostrated himself in adoration, so Thou forgave him; in
the name of Thy name Aasiya wife of Firawn recited when she said:
"My Lord! Build for me a home with Thee in the Paradise, and deliver
me from Firawn and his work, and deliver me from evildoing folk;"
then Thou heard her prayer; in the name of Thy name Ayyoob recited
when he was surrounded by calamities and Thou removed that adversity
(from which he suffered), and Thou gave him his household (that he
had lost) and like thereof alongwith them, a mercy from Thy (store),
and remembrance for the worshippers; in the name of Thy name that
gave back sight to Yaqoob and also brought together him and the
apple of his eyes, Yoosuf; in the name of Thy name that bestowed on
Sulayman a Kingdom, such as did not belong to any after him, verily
Thou art the Bestower; in the name of Thy name which requisitioned "Buraaq"
(on which the Holy Prophet ascended to heaven) for Muhammad
(blessings of Allah and peace be for him and his children), when the
Praiseworthy said: Glorified be He who carried His servant by night
from the "inviolable place of worship" to the "Far distant place of
worship", and said he (the Holy Prophet): "Glorified be He who has
subdued these unto us, and we were not capable (of subduing them),
and verily, unto our Lord we return"; in the name of Thy name with
which Jibra-eel was commissioned to call upon Muhammad, blessings of
Allah be on him and on his children; in the name of Thy name Adam
recited to seek Thy forgiveness, so Thou overlooked his mistake, and
allowed him to stay in Thy Paradise. I beseech Thee in the name of
the evident proof of the glorious, decisive Holy Quran, in the name
of the preserving reason and good Muhammad, the last Prophet, has,
in the name of the sincerity of Ibraheem, in the name of the just
and lawful decisions Thou will make on the Day of Judgement, in the
name of the "what is as it ought to be" comparison and compensation
system that will be set up; and the "books of accounts" which shall
be laid open, in the name of the real and true writing (Qalam); and
the slate (Lawh) contains, in the name of the Glory of the name Thou
and written on the borders of the "Arsh", two thousand years before
Thou created the sun, the moon, the earth and all that has been
created. I testify that there is no god save Allah, He is Single,
has no associate; and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. I
beseech Thee in the name of Thy name Thou keeps an eye on, safely
treasured in Thy unknowable depository, known to Thee alone, no one
from among Thy creation can (even) snatch a momentary view, nor the
nearby Angels, nor the appointed Prophets, nor any chosen servant. I
beseech Thee in the name of They name that separated the oceans,
hoisted the mountains, made day and night follow each other, for the
sake of "the twice revealed seven verses" (Al-Fatih'ah) and the
Great Quran, for the sake of the "noble scribes" "(Kiramul Kaatibeen-the
Angels who write down our deeds), for the sake of "Taha". "Yaa
Seen", "Kaf-Ha-Yaa-Ayyn- Saad", "Ha-Meem-Ayyn- Seen-Qaaf", for the
sake of Tawrayt, given to Moosaa; and Injeel, given to E'esaa and
Zuboor, given to Dawood; and the Holy Quran, given to Muhammad
(Allah's blessings be on him and on his children and on the
Messengers) and for the sake of ) "I am I" (Allah had said to Moosaa).
O my Allah! I beseech Thee, in the name of the conference that took
place between Thee and Moosaa son of Imran on the mountain of "Toor
Seenaa". I beseech Thee in the name of Thy name that gives a sign to
the "Angel of Death" at the time of taking away souls from the
bodies. I beseech Thee in the name of Thy name, written on the leaf
of (an) olive tree, the leaf (which) calmed down the flames of the
fire, (when) Thou said: "Be coolness and peace (for Ibraheem)." I
beseech Thee in the name of Thy name Thou wrote on the canopy,
covering the "surpassing glory and generosity". O He! Those (who)
make repeated requests, and those who get what they want, do not
make Him suffer loss. O He who is besought; and unto Him turn (all)
to take refuge. I beseech Thee in the name of "hard of understand"
rare but highly satisfying and loving kindness, out flowing from Thy
"seat of authority" (Arsh), and the endless mercy, outpouring form
Thy Book' in the name of Thy "Ismi Azam" (The Great Name of Allah),
They boundless resources, and Thy complete, perfect "words" of
highest excellence. O my Allah! Lord of the winds, (and of that
which they carry off, sprinkle and scatter), and the skies, (and of
that which they cover, shade and support), and the earth, (and of
that which it bears and carry), and of the devils, (and of that
which they cause to go astray and lose), and of the oceans and
rivers, (and of that which they urge to run, flow and cause to
circulate); for the sake of all truths, (everything) concerning Thee
is truth; for the sake of Thy confidential Angels, souls resting in
peace, celestial spirits, and those, singing Thy praise and glory
day and night, (who) never grow tired, slack or relax; for the sake
of Ibraheem, they close friend, and all Thy loving devotees (who
call upon and pray to Thee between Safa and Marwa, and Thou gives
answer to their prayers. O the fulfiller of prayers! I beseech Thee
in the name of all these names, and all these prayers, to show mercy
to us (forgive us) for that which we have done, (that which) we
shall do, (that which) we did not covered up, (that which) we did
and made public, (that which) we did seriously, (that which) we did
frivolously (light-mindedly). Art Thou not aware of (them) more than
us? Verily (no doubt there is) Thou art able to do all things; on
account of Thy mercy, O the most Merciful. O He who watches over
every wayfarer! O He who gives company to every forsaken lonesome! O
He Who defends every sick and weak (Makes grown strong O He who
comes to the help of every oppressed! O He Who gives livelihood to
every excluded outcast! O He Who cheers up every lonely solitaire! O
he Who goes with every traveling stranger! O He who supports every
settled inhabitant! O He Who overlooks faults and mistakes! O He who
lends a helping hand to whoso seeks help! O He Who brings assistance
to whoso cries out for help! O He Who makes less the agony and
anguish of the grieved! O He who gives comfort to whoso is an object
of sorrow and solicitude! O He who created the heavens and the
earths! O He who is the ultimate last resource of whatever is
desired and asked for! O He Who gives answer to whoso cries out in
desperation! O the Most Merciful! O the Lord of the worlds! O the
Requiter of the Day of Judgement! O the Most Generous! O the Most
Kind! O the Best Hearer! O the Best Seer! O the Most Powerful!
Forgive me my sins that swerve the flow of bounties. Forgive me my
sins that give birth to remorse. Forgive me my sins that bring upon
depression. Forgive me my sins that put asunder integrity. Forgive
me my sins that nullify prayers. Forgive me my sins that hold back
that which drops (mercy) from the heaven. Forgive me my sins that
urge to bring quickly nothingness and non-existence. Forgive me my
sins that draw near misery and distress. Forgive me my sins that
bring disorder and chaos in thought and purpose. Forgive me my sins
that expose and lay bare shelter and security. Forgive me my sins
that no one can forgive other than Thee. O Allah! Take off the load
(burden of sins) from my back belonging to any one from among Thy
creation; make haste in my affairs, freed of care, brought into
focus, and made easy; put into my heart sure and certain belief in
Thee, and impress into my mind hope in and quest for Thee, till I
turn to no one other than Thee. My Allah protect me, keep me safe in
my position, be my constant companion in darkness and light, in (the
hour of) comfort, in hardships, in success, in misfortune, in gain,
in loss, make easy my course, let conduct of life be good, do not
leave me in the lurch, forsaken in distress or difficulty, guide me
O the Best Guide, do not let me look repeatedly at my vain desires
while carrying out day to day work, let me find happiness every
where, make me team up with my family, happy and successful, in this
quickly passing life and at the appointed time; (there is no doubt)
certainly Thou art able to do all things. Give me the provisions of
life as much as Thy generosity approves, open up for me the doors of
Thy plenteous, good and clean store of possessions, put me to work
in Thy obedience, keep me safe from fire and fury, when I die be
merciful and direct my journey to Thy Paradise. O my Allah, in Thee
do I seek refuge from the disappearance of Thy bounties, from
discontinuation of welfare Thou made available for me, from the
torment that may come upon me, from the penalty that comes down upon
(us), from the disasters that vex and molest, from the misery (and
distress) that takes hold of and lingers on, from violent and
painful death, from the pride and joy of the enemies, from the evil
that falls down from the skies, from the evil which has been pointed
out in the revealed Book. O my Allah! Do not make me be among the
evildoers, nor be among the dwellers of Hell, do not keep me out of
enjoyment found in the company of the good; make me live a clear and
honest life, and die a tranquil death, unite me (after death) with
the select pious, let me keep company with the Prophets, in the
abode of good repute, near the omnipotent seat of authority. O my
Allah! (All) praise is for Thee (alone), (for) Thy smooth and fair
system of test and trail (so) clever and skilful. (All) praise is
for Thee (alone), (for) Islam, and (making all) follow the "way of
life" (of Muhammad (s.a.), O Lord, just as Thou had guided them to
Thy religion, and taught (revealed) them Thy Book, so guide us and
teach us as well. (All) praise is for Thee (alone), (for Thy smooth
and fair system of test and trail (so) clever and skilful,
particularly for me; just as Thou created me, (how wonderful is my
creation!) and taught me, how thorough is my learning!) and showed
me the right path, (how complete is the guidance I received!). (All)
praise is for Thee (alone), (for) Thy bounties bestowed upon me,
earlier and present. How my agonies, O my Master, Thou has
dispelled! How many sorrows, O my Master, Thou has hushed! How many
hardships, O my Master, Thou has put to flight! How many disasters,
O my Master, Thou has dispersed! How many defects, O my Master, Thou
has covered! So (all) praise is for Thee (alone), under all
circumstances, in every place, at all times, in chaos, and in order,
in the present moment and at all occasions. O Allah give me also
from the gifts Thy deserving servants win, and duly distributed
today, or the loss showed openly to them, or the evil sent away from
them, or the disaster warded off from them, or the good urged on to
reach them, or the mercy scattered and spread out, or the welfare
that mingles and gets around, so (there is no doubt) Thou art able
to do all things. In Thy hands are the treasures of the heavens and
the earth. Thou art One, the Kindest Giver who does not send away
one who makes a request to Him, nor disappoints one who expects to
get what one wants from Him, nor there is any defect or shortage in
what one obtains from Him, nor dries up and goes waste that which
comes from Him, on the contrary grows more and more, (is) clean,
freely given, (out of) generosity and favour. Give me from Thy
treasures that which never get exhausted, on account of Thy merciful
love and kindness; boundless and fathomless is Thy grant that
neither withholds nor is inaccessible. Thou art able to do all
things, through Thy mercy, O Allah! Send blessings on Muhammad and
on the children of Muhammad.
