I ask You in the capacity of the one who is helpless and\npowerless. I ask You as the one who is indigent and in troubles. I plead\nas the one who is weak and I present myself as the one who is\ndegraded and is immersed in sins. I ask You as the one who has\npledged his soul to You sincerely, covered his face with dust, have put\nhis forehead in Your presence, whose tears flow continuously due to\nYour fear, who is crying in Your presence, who has accepted his evil\ndeeds in Your presence, who has forgotten Your advice, all his\narguments are rendered useless. By the right of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.)\nand his progeny and by Your right which is great and is pertaining to\nthese Holy personalities, send blessings on them as per Your splendor\nand send blessing on the progeny of Your Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and grant\nme better than what You have granted to those believers who have\npreceded me and better than that which You have given to other\nbelievers, and better than that which You will be granting to Your\nservants who will be born till the Day of Judgment all the goodness in\nthis world and the Hereafter. O Generous! Pardon my past sins in this\nsitting and grant me help to abstain from sins in future, and grant me\nDivine help to do Hajj and Umrah this year and that Hajj and Umrah,\nwhich is accepted by You. O Generous One. And grant me this privilege\nas long as I am alive. O Generous! O Generous! Help me in fulfilling the\nneeds of my family. Help me in fulfilling my duties and responsibilities\nprotect me from the mischief of the Arabs and non-Arabs. Save me from\nthe mischief of deviation from the jinns and the humans. Protect me from\nthe harm of every walking creature on the land as You are the Lord of\ntheir destiny. Surely my Lord is on the right (truth) path.","title":"The Alawite Book: His Dua expressing helplessness before the Almighty","type":"page"}
