You are the master of the Universe. There is no God except\nYou. And I am Your believer. I have oppressed myself. I confess my sins.\nSo forgive my sins There is no god but You, the forgiving. O Allah I\npraise You and You are deserving for this praise. You granted me\nwhatever I wished for and sent me Your best favours and made me\nhappy due to these favours and gave me Your favourable opinion. I\nreceived all these rewards. You removed my troubles. Give me good\nguidance and accept my supplications. As far as I pray to You with\nkeenness and call You with sincerity of intention and I extremely keep\nhopes from You and I find You present everywhere. You are never too\nlate to improve my dealings and take care of my condition and keep\nsecret my faults. Your kindness is never separated for a moment from\nme. From the time You destined that I should think of making a\npresentation to You, You showed Your favour because I was Your\nliberated slave. O my Lord! All troubles and all confusions and sorrows\nand sufferings attacked severely from everywhere for Your decisions\nand kept me occupied in hard troubles. I do not remember if You have\ndone anything except kindness and I have not seen anything except\nYour mercy. Your good vi rtues and Your grace continuously\naccompanied me. You bounties accompanied continuously. Fear did not\nfrighten me due to Your great favour. You fulfilled my desires and\naccompanied me in my travel and increased my honour in my stability,\nrecovery from illness and made my destination and relapse pleasant and\ndid not allow my enemies to mock me. You attack those who attack me,\nand prevent me from enemy's enmity. O my Lord! There were some\nhidden enemies who tried hard to kill me. They showed their enmity\nopenly and aimed at me to kill me and tried to mislead me. O My Lord!\nYou saw that I am unable to bear all these and I cannot stand face their\nchallenge and I am all alone and they are waiting for a chance and I am\nunable to succeed. Then O my Lord, You sent Your divine help and\ngave me support and made them weak. And in spite of their being\nnumerous made them alone and gave me strength to achieve eminence\nand returned them with sorrow and they could not satisfy their desires\nand could not suppress their anger and demand with constant taunting\nto hide their weakness. When he returned turning his face, his party\nbroke their promise and their desires became lifeless. O Allah! Many\nrebellious ones tried to be superior by their crafty tricks and tried to\ncatch me and came to me silently just as wild beasts come to their prey\nand the prey waiting for a chance to escape from it. He was showing his\nflattering smile on the face. O My Lord! When You find his fraud in his\nmind, gave his mortal wound on his brain and pushed him in the pit,\nwhich he dug by himself. You turned him back and wounded by stones\nand swords of his own and strangled his throat with his own ropes and\nchoked the throat of his own fraud and made him regret of his own. So\nhe became disappointed and weak. Though he was restive in the\nbeginning and now he became despicable and helpless. He was very\nstrong in the beginning and he has become disgraced and a prisoner.\nHe wanted to see me tied in the strings and if I would be caught and if\nYou would not send Your blessing, the same calamity would befall me\ninstead of him. Now all praise to Him Who has power over all things and\ncannot be entangled in it, and the reality of his guardianship is\nconsiderate. He is the Self-Existing and never inattentive. He is the\nforbearing and not debased. O my Lord! I call You and seek protection\nfrom You and rely on Your quick acceptance, and I know it very well that\nYou dispel my enemies and I know whoever comes under Your\nprotection, never becomes sad nor the hard troubles shake him. You\ngive him relief to those who take help from You. O my Lord! Make me\nfree by means of Your divine power and make me free from the enmities\nof the enemy. O Allah! There were so many evils in my way but You\ncleared them. There were so many bounties, that You granted and\nflowed the streams by Your divine power and there were so many\ncalamities on my way that You destroyed. You spread Your bounties\nand destroyed the darkness of sorrows. You dispersed the clouds of\ncalamities and put on the robes of honour. And established the future\nincidents when You will ask for anything, nothing can make You tired.\nWhenever I think of You, no one can prevent me. O Allah! Many jealous\npersons wanted to be superior and made me unhappy by facile tongue\nand looked at me with cursory glance and made me dishonoured and\nmade me habitual as he was before. But You helped me in this matter. O\nAllah, I had many good faiths and You proved it and removed my poverty\nand ignorance and increased my livelihood. You removed my weakness\nand gave me strength and solved difficulties. Also changed my poverty\nand bestowed bounties. We cannot ask what You are doing and there is\nno stinginess whatever You grant. You granted me whatever I asked\nand if I didn't ask, You preceded first and whenever I requested, You\nnever disappointed me. You refused to do anything except rewards,\nobligation and blessings and my situation is that I disobeyed Your\ncommands and didn't do anything. I exceeded Your limits and I became\nnegligent about Your wrath and devoted Your enemy (Shaitan). Even\nthen You abstained from executing Your rewards and did not prevent\n(unlucky) me from Your anger. O My Lord! This is the stage where Your\nconfessing accused has failed to confess. To pay Your dues and gives\nevidence that Your bounties and guardianship is completed. O My Lord!\nO Cherisher! Grant me that, which I can reach by means of Your bounty\nand guidance for Your obedience and can be safe from Your wrath,\nbecause You can do whatever You like and can order whatever You\nlike. You have power over all things. O my Lord! My praise is for You\nand will remain forever till centuries with various purities by way of\nglorifications. I shall praise You only for Your remembrance and Your\npermission and I shall mention Your Greatness in a friendly manner. I\nshall mention Your qualities for a long time to falsify idolatry. As no one\nis Your helper and no one is Your partner in Your sovereignty. None\ncould see You when You bound down the things for different intention.\nYou have created the whole universe of different type so that the human\nbeing cannot tear the curtains of the invisible world. I believe in You but I\nam beseized in Your grandeur. There is no particular of Your eternal\nexistence and no possibilities of Your personal appearance and no high\nsimilarity of status can reach to You and no deep mental thoughts can\nreach to You and no observer's eyes can see Your omnipotence. Your\ndivine attribute is highest than human attributes. Your honour and\ngrandeur is more eminent than human attributes. If You want to\nincrease, it cannot decrease and if You want to decrease, it cannot\nincrease. There was no one when You created the world. There was no\nrisk of any opposition then You sent the spirits in the world. According to\nthe law of attributes the dumb and senses are tired in Your actual mystic\nknowledge. How can attributes come at Your court or how can\npoisonous nature enclose You? Because You are the Powerful and\nPure and Eternal and the invisible hand of Heaven forever. You are\nUnique. No one is there and no one will be there except You. The\ndeepest ways and entangled in worries in Your domination and eyes of\nprudence are tired to understand You and the kings are bent down and\nare helpless and hang their faces down in shame and beseech before\nYour dignity and bowed down their heads in shame. Everything is\nobedient in comparison of Your nature and the necks of all people are\nbent before Your sovereignty and on the basis of Your colourful\nattributes, mentally efforts are misled. That is why whoever think for\nYour praise his eyes turn back and his sense confused and amazed. O\nAllah! Your Praise is coherent, continuously and strong forever and\nnever perish. The praise in Your limited world would not become less to\nintimate the knowledge of God. Your praise in beautiful nights and bright\ndawn, in dryness and wetness, in the morning, noon and night daily\nrepeating. O Allah! You made me free from Your Guidance and took me\nin Your protection and did not force me more than my strength because\nYou are pleased by my obedience. If I give thank You verbally or make\nan attempt, I cannot fulfill Your magnificent rights with either thanks nor\nchanges in Your mercy because there is no other god except You.\nNothing is concealed in Your sight. Nothing is secret for You. You\ncannot lose the absorbed properly in the darkness of concealment. Of\ncourse, when You want to do anything, it flourished before saying let\nthere be and before intending. O Allah! Your praise, by which You have\npraised Yourself and praiseworthy people praise You and the great\npeople praise Your grandeur, respected people mentioned Your\ngreatness. Hence I am all alone in a twinkling of an eye or less than this\ntime. I praise You more than others and all who have sincerity of\nintention and who love to have an intimate knowledge of You and all\ncreated people and animals, I praise You is less. O Allah! You have\ngiven strength in my tongue to praise You. I thank for it, because\nwhatever trouble You have given me for this matter is very less and\nwhat You have promised me after expressing this is very great. You\ngranted me Your favour from the very beginning was Your graciousness.\nThen You commanded to thank for Your graciousness was Your\njustification and promised to give great rewards. You granted me my\nlivelihood so that You can take trial of me and granted me more instead\nof less and an ordinary debt and kept me in Your safety and did not\nentrust me in Your hard trial. You bestowed me good livelihood and\nhealth and granted me more grace and promised to grant a high position\nalong with conveying good news of great grade of safety and chosen me\nfor intercession of our great and best of all Prophets, Muhammad\nMustafa (s.a.w.a.) our Holy Prophet (as the friend of God, intercessor in\nhereafter, Companion of sinners and the venerable person (s.a.w.a.). O\nMy Lord! Forgive my sins. There is no other place for forgiveness. No\none can obliterate without Your forgiveness. Give me surely in this\nmoment so that all the worldly troubles are easy to bear. Make one a\nrighteous person for Your inclination and forgive me. Grant me miracles\nand give me the guidance to thank for Your bounties. As You are my\nLord, the High and Unique and the knower. No one can disobey Your\ncommand and no one can prevent You from Your judgment. I have faith;\nYou are my Lord and the Provider. You are the Master of the earth and\nthe Heaven, invisible and the knower and the Great. O Allah! Show me\nthe right way. I pray and thanks for bounties and invoke blessings. I\nseek protection from enemies\u2019 tyranny, from traitors\u2019 rebellion, and from\nthe jealousy of a jealous one. O Allah! I attack my enemy with Your help\nand seek friendship of friends from You and I am hopeful for inefficient\nbenefits of Your blessings and various kinds of provisions and bounties,\nbecause You are Allah and there is no other Allah. Your praise is\neverywhere and Your hands are open for generosity. There is no one to\nchallenge Your commands. There is no one to dispute in Your world. No\none can appeal to anyone against Your commands. You can get hold of\nanyone. No one can become an owner without Your permission. You\nare the master of blessings and rewards, Unique and Able. Your purities\nare mentioned in Your pure light. You are respected with a robe of\nhonour. You are Great due to Your nature and grandeur. You have\nmastery over the splendid light. You continuously increase Your\nadornment of Your majesty. O Allah! Your magnificent praise, former\nobligations, great kingship, generosity and possession of nature are all\nelegant for You and continuously praise that never comes to end and\nfrom border to ever last never ended. Because You have created me\nfrom the progeny of Adam (a.s.) and made me healthy and spotless that\nI can see and hear properly and protect me from physical deformity and\nmental weakness. There is no trouble on my assimilation and no defect\nin my intellect. Your obligations, and good favours and bounties never\nprevent to do a favour. On the contrary, increased my livelihood and\nmade me superior on the worldly people and gave me the sense of\nhearing so that I can hear Your reinforcement properly and gave me\ngood sight that I can see Your natural phenomena. You became my\nhelper and bestowing a heart that can observe Your greatness, You\ngave me Your protection. The tongue confesses Your oneness.\nUndoubtedly I am very thankful for Your graciousness. I am a confessor\nof Your rights and I am a plaintiff in Your court for my troubles and\nobstacles, because You are Eternal and everlasting. You are the\ninheritor of the inhabitants of the earth and You and only one and best\namong the inheritors. O Allah! Do not restrain Your favours and do not\nsend Your wrath as a punishment. Do not make any changes whatever I\nhave and do not disappoint me from Your strong chastity. If I do not\nremember Your favours and rewards You remember Your forgiveness\nand it is very important for me. You accepted my prayer when I raised\nmy head for Your praise. (To raise the head was for Your praise only)\nand not for mention of my major share. If You increased it, there is no\nscarcity for You and if You decrease my livelihood in distribution, then it\nwould be excess in Your property. O Allah! Your expanse knowledge is\nequal to Your praise and according to quantity of Your expanse\nblessings is more than current existing things. The continuous repetition\nof Your praise is of equal weight of Your beautiful names and bounties.\nO My Lord! Complete Your favours in my remaining life as You obliged\nin my present life because I want to be reach by means of Your\nOneness and pronouncing Islamic Creed, and congregational prayers\nand by means of Your beautiful names I say, You have created human\nbeings by Your greatness and superiority. Now man cannot go\nanywhere leaving Your supremacy. O Allah! I pray by means of Your\nsecret names, do not deprive me from Your favours and benefits of Your\nmiracles, and do not entrust me to anyone except You. Do not entrust\nme in the hand of my enemy. Do not put me in the guardianship of my\nsoul and do Your favour from Your great favours. Make my good deeds\nbeautiful in the world, fulfill my desires here and make my last return in\nhereafter beautiful because You are not dependent on Your gifts and\npulling hand does not increase Your wealth of great blessings. Your\ngreat rewards do not decrease Your endowment and Your great favours\ndo not affect Your current rewards. You have no fear of the shame of\npoverty, that You pull Your hand from giving, and You have no danger of\npoverty so that benefit of Your kingdom should be less. O my Lord!\nMake my heart full of true faith on You and do not make me fearless\nfrom Your wrath and do not make me oblivious from Your remembrance\nand do not give up keeping a secret, do not make anyone superior on\nme except You, do not disappoint me from Your grace but hide me in\nYour efficiency, and do not disappoint me from Your beautiful rewards.\nBe my helper in my confusion and supporter in my embarrassment. Be\nmy redress and release me from all difficulties and errors and save me\nfrom all troubles and settled Your bounties and save me from my wrath\nand turn out all the difficulties, destructions and wrath from me, grant me\nhonour to secure the Holy Quran and improve my condition and help me\nin the world and in the hereafter, improve the condition of my children,\nincrease my livelihood in plenty, pay attention to me and do not be\ninattentive. O Allah! Make me achieve eminence, do not despise me.\nHave pity on me, do not curse me and help me, do not make me alone.\nMake me successful and do not make anyone succeed on me. Remove\nmy difficulties and give me spaciousness. Accept my prayer soon and\nremove my difficulties. You have power over all things. Everything is\neasy for You as You are the Generous and the Sovereign.","title":"The Alawite Book: Dua-e-Yamani","type":"page"}
