Dua e Arafa

By
AL_MATAM

@AL_MATAM

In the name of Allah

the Beneficent, the
Merciful.
@AL_MATAM

O Allh bless
Muhammad and the
family of
Muhammad.
@AL_MATAM

Praise belongs to
God whose decree
none may avert,
@AL_MATAM


and whose gift
none may
prevent.
@AL_MATAM




No fashioner's
fashioning is like
His fashioning,
@AL_MATAM


and He is the
Generous,
the All-embracing.
@AL_MATAM

He brought forth the
varieties of
unprecedented
creatures
@AL_MATAM

and perfected
through His
wisdom all He had
fashioned.
@AL_MATAM



Hidden not
from Him are
harbingers,
@AL_MATAM

10

nor lost with

Him are
deposits.
@AL_MATAM

11

He repays
every
fashioner,
@AL_MATAM

12



feathers the
nest of all who
are content
@AL_MATAM

13

and has mercy

upon all who
humble
themselves.
@AL_MATAM

14

He sends down
benefits and the
all-encompassing
Book
@AL_MATAM

15

in radiant light.

@AL_MATAM

16



He hears
supplications,
@AL_MATAM

17



averts afflictions,

@AL_MATAM

18



raises up in
degrees,
@AL_MATAM

19

and knocks down

tyrants.
@AL_MATAM

20

For there is no
god other than
He,
@AL_MATAM

21




nothing is equal
to Him,
@AL_MATAM

22

"Like Him there
is naught,
@AL_MATAM

23



and He is the
Hearing, the
Seeing"
@AL_MATAM

24

the subtle, the

Aware,
@AL_MATAM

25




and "He is
powerful over all
things".
@AL_MATAM

26



O God, I make
Thee my quest
@AL_MATAM

27

and bear witness

to Thy Lordship,
@AL_MATAM

28


acknowledging
that Thou art my
Lord
@AL_MATAM

29


and to Thee is
my return.
@AL_MATAM

30

Thou originated me
by Thy blessing
before I was a thing
remembered.
@AL_MATAM

31

Thou created me
from dust,
@AL_MATAM

32

then gave me a
place in the loins
(of my fathers),
@AL_MATAM

33

secure from
the uncertainty
of Fate
@AL_MATAM

34

and the vagaries

of the ages and
the years.
@AL_MATAM

35

I remained a
traveler from loin
to womb
@AL_MATAM

36



in a time
immemorial of
past days
@AL_MATAM

37

and bygone
centuries
@AL_MATAM

38

In Thy tenderness,
bounty
@AL_MATAM

39

and goodness
toward me
@AL_MATAM

40

Thou didst not send me

out into the empire of the
leaders of disbelief,
those who broke Thy
covenant
@AL_MATAM

41




and cried lies to
Thy messengers
@AL_MATAM

42




Rather, Thou sent me
out to that guidance
which had been
foreordained for me,
@AL_MATAM

43

the way which
Thou made
easy for me
@AL_MATAM

44

and in which
Thou nurtured
me.
@AL_MATAM

45

And before that Thou

wert kind to me
through Thy gracious
fashioning
@AL_MATAM

46

and abundant
blessings
@AL_MATAM

47



Thou originated my
creation from a
sperm-drop spilled
@AL_MATAM

48


and made me to
dwell in a threefold
gloom
@AL_MATAM

49


among flesh,
blood and skin.
@AL_MATAM

50



Thou gave me
not to witness
my creation,
@AL_MATAM

51




nor didst Thou
entrust me with
anything of my own
affair.
@AL_MATAM

52

Then thou sent me out
into the world for the
guidance that had
been fore ordained for
me,
@AL_MATAM

53

complete and
unimpaired.
@AL_MATAM

54

Thou watched over

me in the cradle as
an infant boy,
@AL_MATAM

55

provided me
with food,
wholesome milk,
@AL_MATAM

56

and turned the hearts
of the nurse-maids
toward me.
@AL_MATAM

57

Thou entrusted my
upbringing to
compassionate
mothers,
@AL_MATAM

58

guarded me from
the calamities
brought by the jinn
@AL_MATAM

59

and kept me
secure from
excess and lack.
@AL_MATAM

60



High art Thou, O
Merciful! O
Compassionate!
@AL_MATAM

61

Then when I
began to utter
speech
@AL_MATAM

62

Thou completed for

me Thy abundant
blessings.
@AL_MATAM

63

Thou nurtured
me more and
more each year,
@AL_MATAM

64

until when my
nature was
perfected
@AL_MATAM

65

and my strength
balanced,
@AL_MATAM

66


Thou made Thy
argument incumbent
upon me
@AL_MATAM

67


by inspiring me with
knowledge of Thee,
@AL_MATAM

68

awing me with
the marvels of
Thy wisdom,
@AL_MATAM

69





awakening me to the
wonders of Thy creation
which Thou had multiplied
in Thy Heaven and Thy
earth,
@AL_MATAM

70



and instructing me
in Thy thanks and
remembrance.
@AL_MATAM

71




Thou made incumbent
upon me Thy
obedience and
worship,
@AL_MATAM

72




made me to
understand what
Thy messengers
had brought
@AL_MATAM

73



and made easy for me
the acceptance of Thy
good pleasure.
@AL_MATAM

74

Thou was gracious
to me in all of this,
through Thy succor
and kindness
@AL_MATAM

75

Then, since Thou

created me from
the best soil,
@AL_MATAM

76





Thou wert not satisfied,
my God, that I should
have one blessing
without another.
@AL_MATAM

77

Thou provided
me with varieties
of sustenance
@AL_MATAM

78

and kinds of garments
and Thy tremendous,
most tremendous,
graciousness to me
@AL_MATAM

79

and Thy eternal

goodness
toward me.
@AL_MATAM

80




And finally, when
Thou had completed
for me every
blessing
@AL_MATAM

81



and turned away
from me all
misfortunes,
@AL_MATAM

82



Thou wert not prevented by
my ignorance and audacity
from guiding me toward
that which would bring me
nigh to Thee
@AL_MATAM

83


or from giving me
success in that
which would bring
me close to Thee.
@AL_MATAM

84

For if I prayed to
Thee Thou
answered,
@AL_MATAM

85

if I asked of
Thee Thou
gave,
@AL_MATAM

86

if I obeyed Thee
Thou showed
Thy gratitude,
@AL_MATAM

87



and if I thanked
Thee Thou gave
me more.
@AL_MATAM

88



All of that was to
perfect Thy
blessings upon me
@AL_MATAM

89



and Thy
goodness
toward me.
@AL_MATAM

90

So glory be to
Thee; Glory be
to Thee,
@AL_MATAM

91


who are Producer
and Reproducer,
Laudable, Glorious.
@AL_MATAM

92

Holy are
Thy Names
@AL_MATAM

93




and
tremendous
Thy bounties.
@AL_MATAM

94




So which of Thy
blessings, my God, can I
enumerate by counting
and mentioning?
@AL_MATAM

95

For which of Thy

gifts am I able to
give thanks?
@AL_MATAM

96

Since they, O Lord,

are more than
reckoners can count
@AL_MATAM

97

or those who
entrust to memory
can attain by
knowledge.
@AL_MATAM

98

But the affliction and

hardship, O God, that Thou
turned and averted from me
is more than the health and
happiness that came to me.
@AL_MATAM

99

And I witness, my
God, by the truth of
my faith,
@AL_MATAM

100

the knotted
resolutions of
my certainty,
@AL_MATAM

101

my pure and
unadulterated
profession of
Unity,
@AL_MATAM

102

the hidden
inwardness of my
consciousness,
@AL_MATAM

103

the places to which

the streams of light
of my eyes are
attached,
@AL_MATAM

104

the lines on my
forehead's
surface,
@AL_MATAM

105

the openings for

my breath's
channels,
@AL_MATAM

106

the parts of my
nose's soft
point,
@AL_MATAM

107

the paths of my
ears' canals,
@AL_MATAM

108

what my lips close
upon and
compress,
@AL_MATAM

109

the movements of
my tongue in
speaking,
@AL_MATAM

110

the joint at the

back of my
mouth and jaw,
@AL_MATAM

111

the sockets of
my molar teeth,
@AL_MATAM

112

the place where I

swallow my food
and drink,
@AL_MATAM

113

that which
bears my
brain,
@AL_MATAM

114

the hollow
passages of my
neck's fibers,
@AL_MATAM

115

that which is
contained in my
breast's cavity,
@AL_MATAM

116


the carriers of
my aorta,
@AL_MATAM

117

the places where
my heart's curtain
is attached,
@AL_MATAM

118

the small pieces
of flesh around
my liver,
@AL_MATAM

119

that which the

ribs of my sides
encompass,
@AL_MATAM

120

the sockets of
my joints,
@AL_MATAM

121




the contraction
of my
members,
@AL_MATAM

122

the tips of my
fingers, my
flesh, my blood,
@AL_MATAM

123

my hair, my
skin,
@AL_MATAM

124

my nerves,
my windpipe,
@AL_MATAM

125


my bones, my
brain, my veins,
@AL_MATAM

126

and all of my
members,
@AL_MATAM

127




what was knitted upon
them in the days when I
was a suckling baby,
@AL_MATAM

128

what the earth
has taken away
from me,
@AL_MATAM

129

my sleep,
my waking,
@AL_MATAM

130

my being still, and

the movements of
my bowing and
prostrating,
@AL_MATAM

131

that had I
taken pains
@AL_MATAM

132

and had I striven

for the duration
of the epochs
@AL_MATAM

133

and ages were my life to

be extended through
them to deliver thanks
for one of Thy
blessings,
@AL_MATAM

134




I would not have
been able to do so,
except by Thy
grace,
@AL_MATAM

135





which alone makes
incumbent upon me
never-ending and ever
renewed gratitude to
Thee,
@AL_MATAM

136

and fresh and

ever present
praise.
@AL_MATAM

137

Indeed, and were I

and the reckoners
among Thy
creatures
@AL_MATAM

138

ever so eager to
calculate the extent
of Thy bestowal of
blessings,
@AL_MATAM

139



whether past or
approaching, we
would fail to
encompass it through
numbers
@AL_MATAM

140



or to calculate
its
boundaries.
@AL_MATAM

141






Never how could it
ever be done! For
Thou announces in
Thy eloquent Book
@AL_MATAM

142

and truthful
Tiding,
@AL_MATAM

143

"And if you count
God's blessing, you
will never number it"
@AL_MATAM

144

Thy Book, O God,

Thy Message, has
spoken the truth!
@AL_MATAM

145

And Thy prophets

and messengers
delivered
@AL_MATAM

146


Thy revelation
that Thou had
sent down upon
them
@AL_MATAM

147



and the religion that
Thou had
promulgated for them
and through them.
@AL_MATAM

148

And I witness, my
God, by my effort,
my diligence,
@AL_MATAM

149

and the extent of

my obedience
and my capacity,
@AL_MATAM

150

and I say as a
believer possessing
certainty,
@AL_MATAM

151

"Praise belongs to
God, who has not
taken to Him a son"
that He might have an
heir,
@AL_MATAM

152

"and who has not

any associate in
His dominion"
@AL_MATAM

153

who might
oppose Him in
what He creates,
@AL_MATAM

154

"nor any protector out of

humbleness" who would
aid Him in what He
fashions.
@AL_MATAM

155

So glory be to
Him, glory be to
Him!
@AL_MATAM

156

"Why, were there gods in
earth and heaven other
than God, they would
surely go to ruin" and be
rent.
@AL_MATAM

157

Glory be to God, the Unique, the
One, "the Everlasting Refuge"
who "has not begotten, nor has
He been begotten, and equal to
Him there is none"
@AL_MATAM

158

Praise belongs to God,

praise equal to the
praise of the angels
stationed near to Him
@AL_MATAM

159

and the
prophets sent
by Him.
@AL_MATAM

160

And God bless His

elect, Muhammad,
the Seal of the
Prophets,
@AL_MATAM

161

and his virtuous, pure

and sincere
household, and give
them peace.
@AL_MATAM

162

Then he [The Imam]

began to supplicate.
He occupied himself
with prayer as tears ran
from his blessed eyes.
Then he said:
@AL_MATAM

163

O God, cause me
to fear Thee as if I
were seeing Thee,
@AL_MATAM

164


give me felicity
through piety
toward Thee,
@AL_MATAM

165



make me not
wretched by
disobedience
toward Thee,
@AL_MATAM

166


choose the best
for me by Thy
decree (qadha')
@AL_MATAM

167

and bless me by
Thy determination
(qadar),
@AL_MATAM

168

that I may love not the

hastening of what Thou
hast delayed, nor the
delaying of what Thou
hast hastened
@AL_MATAM

169

O God, appoint
for me sufficiency
in my soul,
@AL_MATAM

170

certainty in
my heart,
@AL_MATAM

171

sincerity in
my action,
@AL_MATAM

172

light in my
eyes,
@AL_MATAM

173

and insight in
my religion.
@AL_MATAM

174

Give me
enjoyment of my
bodily members,
@AL_MATAM

175

make my hearing
and my seeing my
two inheritors,
@AL_MATAM

176

help me against
him who wrongs
me,
@AL_MATAM

177

show me in him
my revenge and
my desires,
@AL_MATAM

178

and console
thereby my
eyes.
@AL_MATAM

179

O God, remove my

affliction,
@AL_MATAM

180



veil my
defects,
@AL_MATAM

181

forgive my
offence,
@AL_MATAM

182

drive away
my Satan,
@AL_MATAM

183



dissolve my
debt,
@AL_MATAM

184

and give me, my God,

the highest degree in
the world to come and
in this world.
@AL_MATAM

185

O God, to Thee belongs

the praise, just as Thou
created me and made me
to hear and to see;
@AL_MATAM

186

and to Thee belongs the

praise, just as Thou
created me and made me
a creature unimpaired as
a mercy to me,
@AL_MATAM

187

while Thou hadst

no need of my
creation
@AL_MATAM

188

My Lord, since Thou
created me and then
made straight my
nature;
@AL_MATAM

189

my Lord, since Thou
caused me to grow
and made good my
shape;
@AL_MATAM

190

my Lord, since Thou

didst good to me and
gave me well-being in
my soul;
@AL_MATAM

191

my Lord, since
Thou preserved
me and gave me
success;
@AL_MATAM

192

my Lord, since
Thou blessed me
and then guided
me;
@AL_MATAM

193

my Lord, since
Thou chose me
and gave me of
every good;
@AL_MATAM

194

my Lord, since
Thou gave me to
eat and drink;
@AL_MATAM

195

my Lord, since
Thou enriched me
and contented me;
@AL_MATAM

196

my Lord, since
Thou aided me and
exalted me;
@AL_MATAM

197

my Lord, since
Thou clothed me
with Thy pure
covering
@AL_MATAM

198




and smoothed the
way for me by Thy
sufficient
fashioning:
@AL_MATAM

199

Bless Muhammad
and the household
of Muhammad,
@AL_MATAM

200

aid me against
the misfortunes
of time
@AL_MATAM

201




and the
calamities of
nights and days,
@AL_MATAM

202

deliver me from the

terrors of this world
and the torments of
the world to come
@AL_MATAM

203

and spare me from the

evil of that which the
evildoers do in the
earth.
@AL_MATAM

204

O God, as for
what I fear, spare
me from it,
@AL_MATAM

205

and as for what I
seek to avoid, guard
me against it.
@AL_MATAM

206

in my traveling
protect me,
@AL_MATAM

207

in my soul and
my religion
watch over me,
@AL_MATAM

208



in my family and my
property appoint for
me a successor,
@AL_MATAM

209

in what Thou hast

provided for me
bless me,
@AL_MATAM

210

in my soul
humble me,
@AL_MATAM

211

in the eyes of
men magnify
me,
@AL_MATAM

212

from the evil of

jinn and men
preserve me,
@AL_MATAM

213

for my sins disgrace

me not, for my
inward secrets
shame me not,
@AL_MATAM

214

for my action
try me not,
@AL_MATAM

215

of Thy
blessings
deprive me not
@AL_MATAM

216

and to other than
Thee entrust me
not.
@AL_MATAM

217

My God, to whom
wouldst Thou entrust
me? To a relative? He
would cut me off.
@AL_MATAM

218


Or to a stranger? He
would look at me
with displeasure.
@AL_MATAM

219

Or to those who
act toward me with
arrogance?
@AL_MATAM

220

But Thou art my

Lord and the
sovereign over my
affair.
@AL_MATAM

221

I would complain to
Thee of my exile and
the remoteness of
my abode,
@AL_MATAM

222

and that he whom

Thou hast made
sovereign over me
despises me.
@AL_MATAM

223

My God, so cause
not Thy wrath to
alight upon me.
@AL_MATAM

224

If Thou become not

wrathful with me I
will have no care,
@AL_MATAM

225

Glory be to Thee But

Thy protection is
more embracing.
@AL_MATAM

226

So I ask Thee, O Lord, by

the Light of Thy Face by
which the earth and the
heavens are illuminated,
@AL_MATAM

227


shadows are
removed,
@AL_MATAM

228

and the affairs of the

ancients and the
later folks are set
aright,
@AL_MATAM

229

not to cause me to
die when Thy wrath
is upon me,
@AL_MATAM

230



nor to send down
upon me Thy
anger.
@AL_MATAM

231

The pleasure is Thine

The pleasure is Thine,
to be satisfied with me
before that.
@AL_MATAM

232


There is no
god but Thou,
@AL_MATAM

233

Lord of the Holy

Land, the Sacred
Monument,
@AL_MATAM

234

and the Ancient

House, upon which
Thou caused blessing
to descend
@AL_MATAM

235

and which Thou

made a sanctuary
for mankind.
@AL_MATAM

236

O He who pardons
the greatest sins by
His clemency!
@AL_MATAM

237

O He who lavishes
blessings by His
bounty!
@AL_MATAM

238

O He who gives
abundance by His
generosity!
@AL_MATAM

239


O Sustenance
to me in my
adversity!
@AL_MATAM

240


O Companion to
me in my solitude!
@AL_MATAM

241


O Aid to me in
my affliction!
@AL_MATAM

242


O Benefactor to
me in my
blessing!
@AL_MATAM

243

O my God and God of

my fathers, Ebrahim,
Ismail, Ishaac and
Yaquob!
@AL_MATAM

244

Lord of Gabriel,
Michael and
Israfil!
@AL_MATAM

245

Lord of Muhammad, the

Seal of the Prophets,
and his household, the
chosen ones!
@AL_MATAM

246


Revealer of the
Torah, the
Gospel,
@AL_MATAM

247

the Psalms
and the
Criterion,
@AL_MATAM

248


and Sender
down of Kaf Ha'
Ya' Ayn Sad,
@AL_MATAM

249

Ta' Ha', Ya' Sin,

and the Wise
Quran!
@AL_MATAM

250





Thou art my cave (of
refuge) when the roads
for all their amplitude
constrict me
@AL_MATAM

251

and the land for all
its breadth is strait
for me.
@AL_MATAM

252

If not for Thy mercy,

I would have been
among the
perishing,
@AL_MATAM

253



and Thou
annuls my
slip.
@AL_MATAM

254

If not for Thy

covering me, I would
have been among
the disgraced,
@AL_MATAM

255

and Thou confirms

me with help
against my
enemies.
@AL_MATAM

256






And if not for Thy
helping me, I would
have been among those
overcome.
@AL_MATAM

257

O He who
appropriated
loftiness and
exaltation to Himself,
@AL_MATAM

258

so His friends
(awliya') are mighty
through His might!
@AL_MATAM

259

O He before whom
kings place the yoke
of abasement
around their necks,
@AL_MATAM

260

for they fear His
overwhelming
power!
@AL_MATAM

261

"He knows the

treachery of the eyes
and what the breasts
conceal"
@AL_MATAM

262

and the unseen

brought by time
and fate.
@AL_MATAM

263


O He about whom
none knows what
He is but He!
@AL_MATAM

264


O He whom none
knows but He!
@AL_MATAM

265

O He who
squeezed the earth
onto the water
@AL_MATAM

266

and held back
the air with the
sky!
@AL_MATAM

267

O He to whom
belong the noblest
Names!
@AL_MATAM

268

O He who
possesses
kindness, which will
never be cut off!
@AL_MATAM

269

O He who assigned
the cavalcade to
Yusuf in the barren
land,

270

O He who assigned
the cavalcade to
Yusuf in the barren
land,
@AL_MATAM

271

brought him out of

the well and made
him a king after
slavery!
@AL_MATAM

272

O He who returned him to

Yaqub after "his eyes were
whitened with sorrow that
he was suppressing"
@AL_MATAM

273

O He who removed
affliction and
tribulation from
Ayub
@AL_MATAM

274

and restrained Abraham's

hands from the sacrifice
of his son after he had
reached old age
@AL_MATAM

275

and his life

had passed
by!
@AL_MATAM

276

O He who answered the
prayer of Zachariah and
bestowed upon him
Yahya,
@AL_MATAM

277


not leaving him
childless and
alone!
@AL_MATAM

278

O He who brought
Yunus out from the
stomach of the fish!
@AL_MATAM

279

O He who parted the

sea for the Children
of Israel, then saved
them
@AL_MATAM

280

and drowned
Firawn and his
hosts!
@AL_MATAM

281

O He who sends
winds heralding
His mercy!
@AL_MATAM

282

O He who does not

hurry (to act) against
those of His creatures
who disobey Him!
@AL_MATAM

283

O He who rescued
the sorcerers after
(their) long denial!
@AL_MATAM

284


They had early
benefited from His
blessing, eating His
provision
@AL_MATAM

285



and worshipping
other than Him;
@AL_MATAM

286

they had opposed,
denied and cried lies
to His messengers.
@AL_MATAM

287


O God!
O God!
@AL_MATAM

288



O Beginner,
O Creator
@AL_MATAM

289


with no
compeer!
@AL_MATAM

290


O Everlasting
who has no
end!
@AL_MATAM

291



O Living when
nothing was
alive!
@AL_MATAM

292


O Quickener of
the dead!
@AL_MATAM

293




O "He Who is aware
of the deserts of
every soul"
@AL_MATAM

294



O He toward whom
my gratitude was
little, yet He deprived
me not!
@AL_MATAM

295

My transgression
was great, yet He
disgraced me not!
@AL_MATAM

296



He saw me committing
acts of disobedience,
yet he made me not
notorious!
@AL_MATAM

297

O He who watched
over me in
childhood!
@AL_MATAM

298


O He who
provided for me in
my adulthood!
@AL_MATAM

299

O He whose favors
toward me cannot
be reckoned
@AL_MATAM

300


and whose
blessings cannot
be repaid!
@AL_MATAM

301

O He who has
confronted me with
the good and the
fair,
@AL_MATAM

302

and I have confronted
Him with evil and
disobedience in
return!
@AL_MATAM

303

O He who led me to
faith before I had come
to know gratitude for
His gracious bestowal
@AL_MATAM

304

O He upon whom I
called when I was
sick and He healed
me,
@AL_MATAM

305

when naked and
He clothed me,
@AL_MATAM

306

when hungry
and He satisfied
me,
@AL_MATAM

307

when thirsty and
He gave me to
drink,
@AL_MATAM

308

when abased
and He exalted
me,
@AL_MATAM

309

when ignorant
and He gave me
knowledge,
@AL_MATAM

310

when alone and He
increased my
number,
@AL_MATAM

311



when away and
He returned me,
@AL_MATAM

312

when emptyhanded and He
enriched me,
@AL_MATAM

313

when in need of
help and He
helped me,
@AL_MATAM

314

and when rich
and He took not
from me.
@AL_MATAM

315

I refrained from (calling

upon Thee in) all of that
and Thou caused me to
begin (to call).
@AL_MATAM

316

Thine are the
praise and the
gratitude!
@AL_MATAM

317



O He who
overlooked my
slip,
@AL_MATAM

318

relieved my
distress,
@AL_MATAM

319




heard my
prayer,
@AL_MATAM

320



covered my
defects,
@AL_MATAM

321

forgave my
sins,
@AL_MATAM

322



caused me to
reach my
desire,
@AL_MATAM

323

and helped me
against my
enemy!
@AL_MATAM

324



If I were to count Thy
blessings, favors and
generous acts of kindness I
would not be able to reckon
them.
@AL_MATAM

325



O my Protector!
Thou art He who
was gracious,
@AL_MATAM

326


Thou art He
who blessed,
@AL_MATAM

327

Thou art He
who worked
good,
@AL_MATAM

328


Thou art He
who was kind,
@AL_MATAM

329

Thou art He who

was bounteous,
@AL_MATAM

330


Thou art He
who
perfected,
@AL_MATAM

331



Thou art He
who provided,
@AL_MATAM

332

Thou art He
who gave
success,
@AL_MATAM

333



Thou art He
who bestowed,
@AL_MATAM

334


Thou art He
who enriched,
@AL_MATAM

335

Thou art He
who
contented,
@AL_MATAM

336


Thou art He
who
sheltered,
@AL_MATAM

337



Thou art He
who sufficed,
@AL_MATAM

338


Thou art He
who guided,
@AL_MATAM

339

Thou art He
who preserved
(from sin),
@AL_MATAM

340

Thou art He
who covered
(my sins),
@AL_MATAM

341



Thou art He
who forgave,
@AL_MATAM

342


Thou art He
who
overlooked,
@AL_MATAM

343


Thou art He who
established (in the
earth),
@AL_MATAM

344


Thou art He
who exalted,
@AL_MATAM

345


Thou art He
who aided,
@AL_MATAM

346

Thou art He
who
supported,
@AL_MATAM

347


Thou art He
who
confirmed,
@AL_MATAM

348

Thou art He
who helped,
@AL_MATAM

349

Thou art He
who healed,
@AL_MATAM

350



Thou art He
who gave
well-being,
@AL_MATAM

351


Thou art He
who honored
@AL_MATAM

352



blessed art
Thou and high
exalted!
@AL_MATAM

353


So Thine is the
praise
everlastingly,
@AL_MATAM

354



and Thine is
gratitude
enduringly and
forever!
@AL_MATAM

355

Then I, my God,
confess my sins,
so forgive me for
them.
@AL_MATAM

356

I am he who
did evil,
@AL_MATAM

357



I am he who
made
mistakes,
@AL_MATAM

358


I am he who
purposed
(to sin),
@AL_MATAM

359


I am he who
was
ignorant,
@AL_MATAM

360

I am he who
was
heedless,
@AL_MATAM

361

I am he who
was
negligent,
@AL_MATAM

362

I am he who relied
(upon other than
Thee),
@AL_MATAM

363

I am he who
premeditated,
@AL_MATAM

364

I am he who
promised,
@AL_MATAM

365

I am he who
went back on
his word,
@AL_MATAM

366

I am he who
confessed
(my sins)
@AL_MATAM

367


and I am he
who
acknowledged
@AL_MATAM

368





Thy blessings upon
me and with me and
then returned to my
sins.
@AL_MATAM

369

So forgive me
for them,
@AL_MATAM

370

O He who is not
harmed by the
sins of His
servants
@AL_MATAM

371

nor needs He
their obedience.
@AL_MATAM

372

He gives success
through His aid and His
mercy to whomsoever of
them works
righteousness.
@AL_MATAM

373


So praise belongs
to Thee, My God
and My Lord!
@AL_MATAM

374




My God, Thou
commanded me
and I disobeyed
@AL_MATAM

375





and Thou forbade
me and I committed
what Thou had
forbidden.
@AL_MATAM

376

I became such that I
neither possessed any
of guiltlessness that I
might ask forgiveness
@AL_MATAM

377

nor any power

that I might be
helped.
@AL_MATAM

378

Then by what means
shall I turn toward
Thee,
O my Protector!?
@AL_MATAM

379




What, by my
ears?
Or my eyes?
@AL_MATAM

380


Or my
tongue?
@AL_MATAM

381


Or my hand?
Or my leg?
@AL_MATAM

382

Are not all of them
Thy blessings
given to me?
@AL_MATAM

383

And with all of
them I disobey
Thee, O my
Protector!
@AL_MATAM

384

Thine is the
argument and the
means against me.
@AL_MATAM

385






O He who veiled me (my
sins) from fathers and
mothers lest they drive me
away,
@AL_MATAM

386

from relatives and
brothers lest they
rebuke me,
@AL_MATAM

387

and from kings

lest they punish
me!
@AL_MATAM

388





If they had seen, O my
Protector, what Thou hast
seen from me, they would not
have given me respite,

@AL_MATAM

389

they would have
abandoned me
and cut me off.
@AL_MATAM

390




So here I am,
O my God,
before Thee O Lord,
humbled, abased,
@AL_MATAM

391


constrained,
despised,
@AL_MATAM

392

neither possessing
guiltlessness that I
might ask
forgiveness
@AL_MATAM

393

nor possessing
power that I
might be helped.
@AL_MATAM

394

There is no
argument with
which I might
argue,
@AL_MATAM

395


nor can I say I
committed not
(sins)
@AL_MATAM

396

and worked
not evil.
@AL_MATAM

397

And denial, were I to
deny-my Protectorcould hardly profit
me.
@AL_MATAM

398

How could it ever do

that? For all of my
members are witness
against me for what I
have done.
@AL_MATAM

399

And I acted with

certainty and without any
doubt that Thou wilt ask
me about great affairs,
@AL_MATAM

400

and that Thou art the

equitable Judge who
does no wrong.
@AL_MATAM

401

Thy justice is
deadly for me
@AL_MATAM

402


and I flee from
Thy every just
act.
@AL_MATAM

403



If thou chastisest me, O
my God, it is for my sins
after Thy argument
against me;
@AL_MATAM

404

and if Thou pardonest

me, it is by Thy
clemency, generosity
and kindness.
@AL_MATAM

405

"There is no god but

my fathers, the ancients!
@AL_MATAM

417


My God, this is my
praise of Thee
exalting Thy majesty,
@AL_MATAM

418


my sincerity in
remembering Thee
by professing Thy
Unity,
@AL_MATAM

419


and my
acknowledgment of
Thy bounties by
enumeration,
@AL_MATAM

even though I
acknowledge that I
cannot reckon them for
their multitude, their
abundance,
@AL_MATAM

421


their manifest ness
and their existence
from ancient times
until a present
@AL_MATAM

in which Thou hast never
ceased to care for me through
them from when Thou created
me and brought me into
existence in the beginning of
(my) life,

423

by enriching from
poverty, relieving
affliction,

bringing
ease,

removing

dispelling

well-being in

Were all the world's

inhabitants, both the
ancients and the later folk,
to assist me in attempting
to mention Thy blessing,
@AL_MATAM

I would not be
able, nor would
they, to do so.

Holy art Thou and high
exalted, a generous,

the light-giving
lamp

which Thou gave to

surrender (almuslimeen)

O God, so bless

So appoint for us
a share this
evening, O God,

of every good
which Thou divides

every light by

transform us now into

men successful,
triumphant, pious, and
prosperous.

Set us not among
those who
despair,

empty us not
of Thy mercy,
@AL_MATAM

deprive us not of
that bounty of
Thine for which we
hope,

Reject us not with the

O Most
Magnanimous of

Generous of the

repairing to and
bound for Thy
Sacred House.

So help is with
our holy rites,

perfect for us
our pilgrimage,

pardon us, and
give us wellbeing,
@AL_MATAM

530

for we have extended

toward Thee our hands
and they are branded
with the abasement of
confession
@AL_MATAM

531

O God, so give us
this evening what
we have asked of
Thee
@AL_MATAM

532



and suffice us in that
in which we have
prayed Thee to
suffice us,

Thee.

Put into effect

536


encompassing
us is Thy
knowledge
@AL_MATAM

537

and just for us

is Thy decree.
@AL_MATAM

538

Decree for
us the good
@AL_MATAM

539



and place us
among the people
of the good!
@AL_MATAM

540



O God make incumbent
upon us through Thy
magnanimity the
mightiest wage,
@AL_MATAM

541

the most generous
treasure and the
lastingness of
ease.
@AL_MATAM

542

Forgive us our
sins, all of
them,
@AL_MATAM

543

destroy us not
with those who
perish,
@AL_MATAM

544

and turn not Thy

tenderness and
mercy away from
us,
@AL_MATAM

545

O Most
Merciful of the
merciful!
@AL_MATAM

546

O God, place us in this

hour among those who
ask of Thee and to
whom Thou givest,
@AL_MATAM

547

who thank Thee
and whom Thou
increase,
@AL_MATAM

548



who turn to Thee
in repentance and
whom Thou
accept
@AL_MATAM

549

and who renounce all

of their sins before
Thee and whom Thou
forgives,
@AL_MATAM

550

O Lord of
majesty and
splendor!
@AL_MATAM

551

O God, purify us,

show us the right way
and accept our
entreaty.
@AL_MATAM

552



O Best of those
from whom is
asked!
@AL_MATAM

553



And O Most Merciful
of those whose
mercy is sought!
@AL_MATAM

554

O He from whom is
not hidden the
eyelids' winking,
@AL_MATAM

555

the eyes'
glancing,
@AL_MATAM

556

that which
rests in the
concealed,
@AL_MATAM

557

and that which is

enfolded in hearts'
hidden secrets
@AL_MATAM

558

What, has not all of

that been reckoned
in Thy knowledge
@AL_MATAM

559


and embraced
by Thy
clemency?
@AL_MATAM

560

Glory be to Thee and high
indeed art Thou exalted
above what the evil-doers
say!
@AL_MATAM

561

The seven heavens

and the earths and
all that is therein
praise Thee,
@AL_MATAM

562

and there is not a

thing but hymns
Thy praise.
@AL_MATAM

563

So Thine is the
praise, the
glory
@AL_MATAM

564


and the
exaltation of
majesty,
@AL_MATAM

565

O Lord of
majesty and
splendor,
@AL_MATAM

566

of bounty and
blessing
@AL_MATAM

567

and of great
favor!
@AL_MATAM

568


And Thou art the
Magnanimous, the
Generous,
@AL_MATAM

569

the Tender,
the
Compassionate.
@AL_MATAM

570

O God, give me
amply of Thy
lawful provision,
@AL_MATAM

571


bestow upon me
well-being in my
body and my
religion,
@AL_MATAM

572


make me safe
from fear
@AL_MATAM

573

and deliver
me from the
Fire.
@AL_MATAM

574

O God, devise
not against me,
@AL_MATAM

575


lead me not
on step by
step,
@AL_MATAM

576

trick me
not
@AL_MATAM

577

and avert from me

the evil of the
ungodly among jinn
and men.
@AL_MATAM

578

Then he lifted his head and

eyes toward Heaven.
Tears were flowing from
his blessed eyes as if they
were two water-skins,
and he said in a loud
voice:
@AL_MATAM

579

O Most Seeing
of those who
behold!
@AL_MATAM

580

O Swiftest of
reckoners!
@AL_MATAM

581

O Most
Merciful of the
merciful!
@AL_MATAM

582

Bless Muhammad
and the household of
Muhammad, the
chiefs, the fortunate.
@AL_MATAM

583

And, I ask of Thee, O God,

my need. If Thou grantest it
to me, what Thou holdest
back from me will cause me
no harm;
@AL_MATAM

584

and if Thou holdest it

back from me, what
Thou grantest me will
not profit me.
@AL_MATAM

585

I ask Thee to
deliver us from
the Fire.
@AL_MATAM

586


There is no
god but Thou
alone,
@AL_MATAM

587



Thou hast no
associate.
@AL_MATAM

588


Thine is the
dominion, and
Thine is the
praise,
@AL_MATAM

589



and Thou art
powerful over
everything.
@AL_MATAM

590

.


O my Lord! O
my Lord!
@AL_MATAM

591

Then he said:

O my Lord O my Lord
O my Lord O my Lord
O my Lord O my Lord
over and over
