Bless Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhammad. I beseech\nYou, O the Lord of the seven Heavens, seven Earths, the things in them\nand in between them, the Lord of all seven quatrains (Surah-e-Hamd)\nand the great Quran, the Lord of Jibraeel, Mikaeel, Israfil, Lord of all the\nAngels, Lord of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) the last of the Prophets and the\nMessengers and the Lord of the whole creation. O Allah! I beseech You\nwith Your name with which the Heavens remain well set in their places\nand so do the Earth, with the blessing of that name, and through that\nname You have kept in Your knowledge the measurement of the\noceans, and the weight of the mountains, and with it You cause death to\nthe living, and give life to the dead, and with that name You create the\nclouds, and through it You send forth the wind, and through it provide\nthe bondsmen with sustenance, and reckoned through it the particles of\nsand, and do what You wish and whereby You say to a thing \"Be\" and it\ncomes into existence, so remove my poverty with Your Needlessness,\nand accept my invocation, and bestow on me my wants, and fulfill my\nhopes, and favour me with happiness as a blessing for me out of Your\nMercy, and grant me peace in place of fears, and keep me alive with\nperfect bounties, comfort, the best of sustenance, affluence and a happy\nlife. And enable me to offer thanks to You for what You have bestowed\nupon me, and continue this without any break throughout my life till You\nchange it with the bounties of the Hereafter. O Allah! Lies within Your\ncontrol the destiny of the World, Hereafter, the day and night, the life\nand death and so also the success, failure, virtue and vice are controlled\nby You. O Allah! Bless me in Faith on which depends my affair and\nbless me in this world the source of my livelihood, and bless me in my\nHereafter to which is my return and bless me in all my affairs. O Allah!\nYou are Allah, There is no god save You. Your promise is true and so is\nour presence before You. I seek refuge with You from the evils of life\nand death. I seek refuge with You from the abhorrent affairs of the world\nand those of the Hereafter. And I seek refuge with You from the evils of\nDajjal. And I seek refuge with You against skepticism, vices, slackness\nand defeat. And I seek refuge with You from miserliness and prodigality.\nO Allah! It has passed what was to happen as a sequel to my past\ndeeds performed against my own self. O my Lord! You are my Lord, You\nhave control over me and I do not have. O my Lord! You created me\nhelpless and I am nothing but due to You. There is no goodness except\nfrom You and I could never avert any evil save that which You dispelled.\nTo dispel the evil was neither within my power nor could I think of doing\nso. O my Lord! You took me where I could not hope to reach and\nbestowed upon me O' my Lord! that for which I had lost all hopes Praise\nbe therefore to You. O the Forgiver of sins! Forgive me and cast into my\nheart Your pleasure so as to render easy for me the most difficult\nsituations in the world O my Lord! Bestow upon me all the means of\nhappiness, comfort and goodness. O Allah! Grant me such means and\nguide me towards it and show me the way to get out of the difficulties. O\nAllah! From those of Your bondsmen to whom You delegated power to\nexercise on me and authority to settle my affair, You take that control\nfrom them within Your possession from their hearts, tongues, ears eyes,\nfrom their front, from behind them, from above them, from underneath\ntheir feet, from their right, from their left, and from where You wish, and\nin the manner You desire till none can reach me with evil intention. O\nAllah! Keep me under Your protection and near You for Your nearness\nis honoured, Your praise is great. There is no god save You. You are all\npeace and peace emanates from You. O the Glorious and Gracious! I\nbeseech You to save me from the Hell-fire and accommodate me in the\nabode of peace. O Allah! I request You to grant me all the good of this\nworld and of the Hereafter, and I seek refuge with You against all the\nevils of this world and that of the Hereafter known to me or not. And I\nask You all the good requested for and all the good not requested for.\nAnd I seek Your protection against all evils I fear or I have not feared\nthereof. And grant me sustenance from sources I can think of and from\nsources I cannot think of. O Allah! I am Your bondsman the son of Your\nbondsman and the son of Your maid. Within Your control is my destiny.\nYour decisions are just. I beseech You with every name of Yours\nwhereby You have named Yourself, or which You have sent down in\nany of Your revealed Books, or taught anyone of Your Creation, or\nPreserved it in the Knowledge of the Unseen with You. Bless\nMuhammad (s.a.w.a.), Your Ummi Prophet, bondsman, Messenger and\nthe chosen one from Your Creation, and his pure and virtuous Progeny,\nand have mercy on Muhammad and his Progeny and have mercy on\nthem in the manner You blessed, favoured and showed mercy to Ibrahim\nand his Progeny, verily You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. And make\nthe Quran the light for my heart soul, and through it make easy for me\nmy affairs, and expand my chest through it, and make it a delight of my\nheart, consolation of my grief, and through it dispel my sadness and\nworries, and make pleasant by its blessing my eating and drinking, and\nguide me through it in my hearing and seeing, and make it a light for my\nmind, bones, nerves hairs, nails, and skin, in front of me, above me,\nbelow me, on my right and on my left. And let it act as light at my death,\nand a light in my grave, and a light at the time of reckoning, and a light in\neverything till You convey me to Paradise, O the Illuminator of the\nHeavens and the Earth. You are as You have praised Yourself in Your\nBook. Allah is the Illuminator of the Heavens and the Earth; the\nsimilitude of His Light is as a niche in which is a lamp. The lamp is in a\nglass; the glass is as it were a star shinning bright, lit from blessed olive\ntree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof almost glows forth of\nitself, and even though fire touches it not. Light upon Light Allah guides\nto His Light whomsoever He wills. Allah sets parables for people and\nAllah is All-Aware of all things. O Allah! Guide me through Your Light\nand appoint on the day of resurrection a light in front of me, behind me,\non my right side, and on my left side, to guide me to the abode of peace,\nO the Glorious and the Gracious! O Allah! I seek forgiveness and\ncomfort for me for my people, for my children, and protection for my\nwealth in this world and in the Hereafter. O Allah! Bless Muhammad\n(s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny and protect me from the front, from the back,\nfrom the right side, from the left side, from above, and from below. I seek\nrefuge with You. O Allah! Master of the realm! You give the realm to\nwhomsoever You like, and take away the realm from whomsoever You\nlike, in Your hands lies all the good; verily! You are over all things\nMighty. You cause the night to pass into the day and You cause the day\nto pass into the night. You bring forth the living out of the dead and You\nbring forth the dead out of the living, and You give sustenance to\nwhomsoever You like without measure. O the beneficent and the\nMerciful in this world and the Hereafter! You bestow Your beneficence\nand Mercy on whomsoever You like withhold the same for whomsoever\nYou like. Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny and have mercy\non me, repay my loan, forgive my sins and fulfill my needs, verily! You\nare Powerful over all things. O Allah! I beseech You for You are the\nMaster of everything and what You wish does happen. O Allah I seek\nfrom You true belief strong conviction without any skepticism, humility\nwith no element of pride in it, mercy which should lead me to the honour\nof Your grace in this world and in the Hereafter. Verily You are Powerful\nover all things. Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his pure and purified\nProgeny with Your mercy, O the most Merciful!","title":"The Alawite Book: His supplication for the twenty-sixth of the month","type":"page"}
