There is no deity\nbut Allah, the Most High, the Sublime. Glory be to Allah, the Lord of\nseven Heavens and seven Earths, and things in them and in between\nthem, and the Lord of the Magnificent Throne. And all praise be to Allah,\nthe Lord of the Worlds. And Blessed be Allah the Best of Creators. And\nthere is no might and power but with Allah the High, the Sublime. O\nAllah! Bestow on me peace to make my life pleasant so that my past\nsins may not harm me, and be sufficient for me against the hardships of\nthis world and those of the Hereafter, till You cause me to enter\nParadise with Your Mercy. Verily, You are Powerful over all things. O\nAllah! You are aware of the condition of my heart, so kindly accept my\napology. And You know my wants, so kindly fulfill my needs and You\nknow whatever is my self, so kindly forgive my sins. O Allah! You know\nmy desires and You know my sins, so kindly fulfill all my desires, and\nforgive all my sins. O Allah! You are my Cherisher and I am the\ncherished, and You are my Master and I am Your slave. You are\nHonoured and I am disgraced. You are ever-living and I am mortal. You\nare Mighty and I am weak. You are Needless and I am needy towards\nYou. You are Everlasting and I will perish. You are the Grantor and I am\nthe seeker. You are All-forgiving and I am miscreant. You are my Lord\nand I am Your bondsman. You are All-knowing and I am ignorant. I\ndisobeyed because of my ignorance. I committed sins because of my\nignorance. I became unmindful of Your remembrance because of my\nignorance. I got inclined to the world because of my ignorance. I was\ndeceived by the pomp of this world because of my ignorance. And You\nare more Merciful to me than I am to myself, and You can vouchsafe for\nme better than I can do for myself. You kindly therefore forgive me and\nhave mercy on me and overlook that which You know about me. You\nand only You are most Honoured and Generous. O Allah! Guide me\ntowards the most correct affairs and protect me against my own evil. O\nAllah! Increase my livelihood, prolong my life, forgive my sins, and\ninclude me among those who fight in Your way for religion, and replace\nme not by someone else. O the Sympathetic! O the Great Benefactor! O\nthe Ever-living! O the Self-subsisting! Keep busy my heart exclusively\nfor Your remembrance. O Allah! The Lord of seven Heavens and the\nLord of seven Earths, and things in them and things in between them,\nthe Lord of seven oft repeated verses (i.e. Surah-e-Hamd) and of the\nGreat Quran, the Lord of Jibraeel, Mikaeel, Israfeel, the Lord of all\nAngels, Lord of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) the last of the Prophets and\nmessengers, bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny, and keep me\nindependent of the employment by Your creation, and give me ability for\ndevotional worship to You, grant me ease for worship, and keep me\nunder Your care, bestow on me contentment, and the true belief in\nreliance on You. O Allah! I beseech You through that great name of\nYours with which the Heavens, the earth, things in them and in between\nthem remain well set in their places, through the blessings of that name\nYou give life to the dead and cause death to the living, and through that\nname You have kept in Your knowledge the reckoning of periods, the\nweight of mountains and measurement of oceans. And with that name\nYou honour the disgraced and with it You disgrace the honoured. And\nthrough that name You do what You wish and say to a thing \"Be\" and\nthen there it is. And when the seekers request You with that name You\ngrant their requests and when the invokers invoke Your with that name,\nYou accept their invocations, and when the seekers of refuge seek\nrefuge with that name, You give protection to them, and You remove the\ndistress when those in distress invoke You for the sake of that name.\nAnd when the intercessors intercede with You, You accept their\nintercessions. And You help the criers for help when they cry for help\nfrom You with that name. And when those who present themselves\nbefore You with that name, You listen to their utterances and help them.\nAnd when the repentants come with that name, You accept their\npenitence. And I beseech You O my Master! O my Lord! O My Allah! O\nmy Strength! O my Hope! O my Refuge! O my Pride! O the Treasure for\nmy religion, my world and my Hereafter. And I beseech You with the\ngreater of the greatest and most sublime name of Yours, and I invoke\nYou with it for my sins which none can forgive save You, and for my\naffliction which none can dispel save You, and for the damage which\nnone can remove from me save You, and for those misdeeds with which\nI disobeyed You and felt not ashamed at the time of committing them.\nHere I come therefore before You as a sinner and miscreant. Surely the\nearth is straitened for me with all its extensiveness. My power of\ndiscernment is lost and it has dawned on me that there is neither\nprotection nor refuge anywhere but with You. And here I am before You\nin a state well-entangled by sins and misdeeds and find none save You\nas forgiver, nor anyone to repair my loss except You, nor anyone to\ndispel my harm save You. And I say what was uttered by Your\nbondsman Yunus when You responded to him and delivered him from\nhis grief, with a hope to turn mercifully towards me and free me from the\nsins. O my Master! There is no God but You, glory be to You surely I\nwas of the unjust ones. And I beseech You with Your sublime name to\naccept my invocation, and to fulfill my wants, and to hasten relief for me\nwith Your mercy, and to change my fears into mental peace in perfect\nbounties, the best sustenance with affluence and residence, and keep\nme happy by its constant flow to me. O Allah! Grant me ability to offer\nmy thanks to You for what You have given me, and let this be\naccomplished in perfect manners till You keep me alive and forgive me\nmy sins, errors, my lavishment and my crimes at the time of death (i.e.\nwhen You take me away from the world), till You convey me to the\nhappiness of this world and of the world Hereafter. O Allah! Under Your\ncontrol is the destination of the night and day, sun and moon, and so\nalso You control vice and virtue. O Allah! So please bless me in my\nFaith, world, hereafter and in all my affairs! O Allah! There is no god\nsave You, Your promise is true and so is our attendance before You.\nBless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny and end my life with best\nof performances till You take me away from this world in a state that You\nbe pleased with me. O the Ever-living! O the Self-subsisting! O the\nDispeller of great agony! Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny\nand increase for me agreeable sustenance in accordance with Your\ngenerosity for verily You have taken the responsibility on Yourself to\nprovide me and every living creature with livelihood. O the Best to be\ninvoked! O the Best to seek from! O the Most Liberal Bestower! O the\nBest centre of hopes! So kindly increase sustenance for me and for my\nfamily. O Al lah! I beseech You to wri te in the book of Your\npredestination, and decree of inevitable, and wise affairs which You\ndecide in the Night of Greatness (Lailatul Qadr) and which neither could\nbe reversed nor could be changed, my name as one of the pilgrims of\nYour Sacred House whose performances of the pilgrim rites are\naccepted, their efforts are appreciated, their sins are forgiven, their\nmisdeeds are erased, who have plenty of livelihood, their bodies are\nhealthy, and their fears are allayed, and prolong my life, increase my\nsustenance. O the Ever-present! Present prior to the presence of\nEverything! O the Creator of Everything! The eyes sleep, the stars set\ndown, but You are Ever-living, Self-subsisting, neither slumber nor sleep\novertakes You. Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny, show\nmercy to them and bestow Your favours on them in the manner You\nBlessed, bestowed Your favours and showed mercy to Ibrahim and his\nProgeny. Verily Your are Praiseworthy and Great. O Allah! I beseech\nYou in the name of Your Glory, Forbearance, Greatness and\nGenerosity, to bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny , and to\nforgive me, my parents and have all-embracing mercy on them as they\nnurtured me when I was little, O the Most Merciful! O Allah! I beseech\nYou for You are an absolute sovereign. Verily You are Powerful over\neverything, and happens what You will, so forgive me, my believer\nbrothers and sisters. Verily You are Ever-kind and Merciful. All praise be\nto Allah Who fed us among the hungry. All praise be to Allah Who\ngranted us safety among the frightened ones. All praise be to Allah Who\nmade us guided among the ignorant ones. O the Hope of the believers!\nDisappoint me not in my expectation! O the Succourer of the believers!\nHelp me! O the Succourer of those who seek help from You! Come to\nmy rescue. O the Acceptor of penitence! Turn mercifully towards me!\nVerily You turn mercifully towards Your bondsmen. My Lord suffices me\nas a Cherisher better than the cherished ones. My Creator is sufficient\nfor me as compared to the created. My Master is better for me than the\nservants. My sustainer is more liberal for me than those who are\nsustained by Him. Sufficient is He for me Who is Eternal. Sufficient,\nSufficient is He Who suffices me.
