O Allah! O my beloved have mercy on me. O Lord! Your\nservant is in Your presence, O Lord! O Lord! For the sake of Your\ncreatures O my hope and wishes O the listener of complaints O the\nextreme pleasure. O the one to make the blood flow in my veins Your\ncreature and only Your creature is present before You. O My Lord! O\nthe master of the creatures Your servant is present in Your Domain. O\nthe center of hopes! O Master! O He! O He! O He! O Lord! O Lord! I am\nYour servant there is no one useful for this careless soul, neither gain\nnor loss is in his control and nor is there anyone who can do goodness\nto him, I have exhausted all my weapons of cheating, and all the evil has\nbeen exposed, now the world has left me isolated for You and so I am\nstanding. O my God You are aware of everything, then how will You\ntreat me. O that I knew! Although I do not know Your reply after listening\nto my supplication. Will You say 'yes' or 'no' and if You say 'no' then\nalas! Alas! Alas! I complain, I complain, I complain, oh my misfortune!\nUnlucky! Wretchedness! Oh Shame! Oh Shame! Oh Shame! Now\nwhere shall I go? Why and what for? Or with whom shall I seek refuge\nand from whom shall I have hopes. Is there anyone who shall have\ngrace upon me by his mercy, when it is You who have left me? O the\nexcessive forgiver. And if You say 'Yes your supplication is accepted'\nlike I believe it, then I am indeed lucky and worth compliments. I\ncongratulate that I deserve mercy O the one Who does mercy O the\ngenerous! O the one Who is Attentive! O the Master! O the Powerful! O\nthe one Who overpowers! I don't have a deed which can be a cause for\nthe acceptance of my prayers. I beseech You for the sake of Your\nnames which You have created from everything and is concealed by\nYour covering and this concealed name is known only to You, I seek of\nthat name of Yours which has never been utilised and will never be\nutilized. I ask You by Your name and by Yourself, as I don't possess\nanything other than these. Neither I meet anyone who could get me\nsome benefit from You. O the great and Ancient, O the Honourable! O\nHe Who has made me recognize my own soul. O He Who has granted\nme, my desires, O the one Who is called! O the one Who is questioned!\nO the one from whom one seeks the desires. O Allah I have left those\ncommands which You had reminded me, and I did not obey You, and if I\nhad obeyed You then before me being present here You would have\nappreciated my work. And I in spite of my sins, have hope from You so\ndon't let anything come between You and my hopes and return my\nhands full of Your grace, safety and goodness. By the sake of Your\nrights (ask for Your needs) O My store at the times of hardships. O my\nhope at the time of trials, O my guardian at the time of bounties, O my\nfulfiller of needs at the time of desires, O my refuge at the time of\ndestruction, O my saver at the time of annihilation, O my companion in\nsolitude, bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny and forgive my\nsins. Ease for me my transactions, bestow on me my spread to unity,\nsuccess in my aims, reformation of my self, and answer for my\nsupplications, success and solution in all my affairs. Don't take away\nsafety from me when You give me life and when You give me death. O\nMost Merciful of all the mercifuls.","title":"The Alawite Book: His supplication on the eve of Saturday","type":"page"}
