Subscribe O my Allah, many a trouble Thou hath
removed; many a sorrow hath Thou
dispelled; many a misery hath Thou
mitigated; and at all times Thou spreadeth
out mercy, and cutteth short the tightening
circles of misfortunes.
All praise be to Allah, Who has not taken
unto Himself a wife, nor a son, and Who
has no partner in sovereignty, nor any
protecting friend through dependence.
Magnify Him with all magnificence.
All praise be to Allah, with full gratitude for
all his bounties.
All praise be to Allah, Who has no
opposition to His rule, nor any challenge to
His commands.
All praise be to Allah, Who has no counsel
to meddle with His operation of creation,
nor is there anything similar to Him in His
greatness.
All praise be to Allah, Whose
commandments operate in Creation; His
glory is evident through love and kindness.
His distinct overflowing generosity is freely
available through His unlimited bestowals
which do not exhaust His resources, and
He does not swell the numerous benefits
except because of generosity and
kindness. Verily He is mighty, generous.
O Allah, I ask for some from much, in the
midst of my very many needs for which I
entirely depend on Thee, and, since
eternity, Thou art able to do without it but
for me it is a titanic effort and for Thee is
very easy and simple.
O Allah, truly, when Thou pardon my sins,
overlook my mistakes, take a lenient view
of my disorderly conduct, cover up my foul
actions, show consideration in spite of my
many transgressions committed willfully or
negligently, I am tempted to ask for that
which I do not deserve, from Thee Who,
through Thy mercy, gives me the daily
bread provides me with that which is
suitable for me, through Thy control; and
distinguishes me with a favourable reply to
my requests.
So I persist in calling out, believing in
Thee, and I invoke Thee, talking familiarly,
not afraid, nor shy, but assured of Thy love
and kindness whenever I turn to Thee
A temporary setback, and I, out of
ignorance, begin to despair, although
perhaps slowing down may be a blessing in

the consequences. I know no generous
master who is more accommodating to
dissatisfied servants that Thou art to me.
O Lord, Thou giveth an invitation but I turn
it down. Thou becometh familiar with me
but I do not care for Thee. Thou loveth me
but I do not correspond to Thee as if Thou
are overreaching me. Yet Thou doth not
abstain from bestowing favours and
blessings on me from Thy mercy and
generosity so have mercy on Thy ignorant
servant Verily Thou art generous and kind.
Praise be To Allah the owner of
sovereignty, Who sets the course of the
skies and the stars controls the winds,
causes the daybreak, and administers
authority, the Lord of the worlds.
Praise be to Allah for His indulgence in the
wake of His all-awareness.
Praise be to Allah for His amnesty ensuing
from His omnipotence.
Praise be To Allah for the respite He allows
In spite of provocation.
He is able to do what He wills.
Praise be to Allah, the creator of all the
created beings, Who makes sustenance
freely available, starts the day, the owner
of glory, might, favours, and bounties,
Who is far away, invisible, and nearest, so
near that He is fully aware of the
whispered secrets, the Blessed, the
Praised.
Praise be to Allah, Who has no equal to
challenge Him, nor is there an image
comparable to Him, nor a helper to assist
Him.
He tames the powerful by His force, and
disgraced are the terrible before His
greatness; so He, through His power, fulfils
that which He wills.
Praise be to Allah, Who gives answer to me
whenever I call Him; covers up my
shortcomings yet I disobey Him; gives me
the largest part of the bounties yet I want
more. Many favours He has sanctioned;
many terrible dangers He has averted; and
many blossoming joys he has made
available for me. Therefore, I sing His
praises and recite His glorifications.
Praise be to Allah. None can disclose
anything hidden by Him; none can shut the
doors kept open by Him; no one who
makes a request is sent away disappointed
by Him; and no one who looks long and
attentively is deluded in his hopes.
Praise be to Allah, Who gives protection to
the frightened; comes to the help of the
upright; promotes the cause of the weak
and the enslaved; annihilates the
autocrats; destroys rulers and appoints the
'awaited savours' in their place.
Praise be to Allah, Who breaks everything
belonging to the oppressors; puts an end
to the tyrants; watches over the fugitives;
brings assistance to those who cry out for
help; meets and clears up the demands of
the needy beseechers; supports the
faithful.
Praise be to Allah. In his awe-inspiring fear
the heavens and its dwellers tremble and
shiver; the earth and its inhabitants shake
and quiver; the oceans and all that floats
and swims in its waters flow together in
excitement and tumult.
Praise be to Allah, Who has guided us to
this. We could not truly have been led
aright if Allah had not guided us.
Praise be to Allah, Who creates but is not
created; gives subsistence but needs no
provisions; gives food to eat but takes no
nourishment; makes the living dead and
brings the dead to life; and He is the
everliving, there is no death for Him; in His
hands is all the good.
And He is able to do all things. O Allah,
send blessings on Muhammad, Thy
servant, Messenger, confidant, friend,
beloved intimate, mercy unto all the
created beings, bearer of Thy sacraments,
quotient of Thy messengers, the most
superior, the exquisite, the most
handsome, the most perfect, the upright,
the more prospering, the more pleasant,
the thoroughly purified, the sublime; who
has more and better blessings,
advantages, mercies, affections and
salutations than Thou made available to
any one of Thy servants, prophets,
messengers, friends, and those honoured
by Thee from among Thy created being.
O Allah send blessings on 'Ali the Leader of

servants, Thy trustworthy confidant on Thy
earth; blessings, numerous, and for ever.
O Allah, send blessings on the Custodian of
thy commandments, the vigilant Guardian,
the reliable Patron, the awaited Justice,
surrounded by Thy favourite angels,
assisted by the Holy Spirit.
O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, send him to
call the people unto Thy Book for
establishing Thy religion, and make him
succeed in the earth, as Thou caused those
who were before him to succeed, and
establish for him his faith which Thou has
approved for him, and give him in
exchange safety after fear. He serves Thee.
He ascribes nothing as partner unto Thee.
O Allah, give him power and authority, and
through him strengthen the people. Give
him the necessary assistance, and through
him support the people, and make him
prevail over allya final decisive victory, and
delegate him Thy controlling authority.
O Allah, give currency to Thy religion, and
the way of life of Thy Prophet, through him
till nothing which is just and genuine is
kept concealed from any human being.
O Allah, we ardently desire that in [his]
kind, just, and fair era, Thou should
reactivate Islam and stimulate its
followers, and humble and humiliate the
imposters and their double-dealing, and
include us among those who invite people
unto Thy obedience, and lead them to Thy
approved path, and give us the good of
this world and the world to come.
O Allah, let us bear out and hold up that
which Thou maketh known to us as the
truth, and let us be fully aware of that
which we fall short of doing.
O Allah, through him, set in order our
disorder; gather and unite our flock; stitch
together our sundered separation; turn our
want and poverty into sufficiency; lift us up
from our degradation; free us from our
misery; pull us out from our debts; help us
to get out from the ditch of cares and
sorrows; fill the gap created by confusion
among us; let our difficulties be easy to
deal with; refine our substance and style;
untie our ropes and straps; let our efforts
succeed well and secure success; make us
fulfill our promises; give answers to our
prayers; listen to our requests; cause us to
obtain the good of this world and the
hereafter; give us much and more than our
expectations, O the best of givers and
bestowers; and cleanse our hearts,
unburden our emotions from hate and
anger, and, in the event of dispute in the
matter of truth, show us the right path.
Verily, Thou guides whoever Thou will to
the right path. Let us, through him, get the
better of Thy enemies and our opponents,
O True God. Be it so.
O Allah, we feel uneasy about and are
disturbed by the departure of our Prophet,
Thy blessings be on him and on his family,
the absence of our guardian-friend, too
many enemies, our numerical scarcity,
widespread disorder, and the vicissitudes
of time.
So send blessings on Muhammad and on
his family, and help us to overcome this
state of affairs at once.
Disperse the ominous clouds hanging over
our heads; lend a helping hand to achieve
success; bring in the rule of justice and fair
play; make us bright, free from grief; and
take care of us. Through Thy mercy, O
most Merciful.
