Has strengthened my back\nand the shoulders by His Generosity and Recognitions. He has not left\nme without obligation and favours when I am involved in sins and\ndisobedience. And was negligent in His obedience, and have not fulfilled\nthe right of His fear and His chastisement. Allah is Pure on Whom the\nbelievers rely and are devoted to Him in all the condition. No one is\nindependent of His grace. There is no god except Allah Who is attentive\nto the one who is negligent about Him. Who accepts the repentance of\nthe one who does sins excessively. And He is displeased on the one\nwho has lost hopes of His Vast Blessings and Mercy, and Allah is above\nall the things, Creator and Lord of all the things, the eradicator and\ndestroyer of all the things and Allah is Great, the greatness which He\ndeserves and it befits Him. O Allah bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) Your\nservant, Your prophet, Your messenger, Your trustworthy, Your witness,\nPure and noble and on his progeny the Purified. O Allah! I ask You like\nthe one who has confessed his sins and like the one who has followed\nthe evil desires and is now ashamed of it, and You are the one Who can\nbe depended upon for forgiveness, and the best for the sinners and evil\ndoers because the sins have pushed them in the dark valley of\ndestruction, and is surrounded by errors and mistakes now the position\nis such that I cannot consider the sins as insignificant. Now You are the\nonly place of hope and in hardships and ease You are the one on Whom\nI rely. You are the refuge for the fearful who are drowning, and the\nMerciful of all other mercifuls. O my Lord! I am presenting myself to You\nattentively, because You are the climax for those who seek and the most\nMerciful to accept the prayers of the sinners. O Allah! It is not difficult for\nYou to forgive the sins and cure the sorrow, although You are well\naware of the hidden things, You are the concealer of defects, and the\none to ward off the difficulties, because You are powerful, Everlasting\nand Merciful and Who has worn the dress of Godhood and has\naccepted the divinity of oneness. Now You are the pure from the status\nof nature, so nobody can explain You by Your attributes and the\nimagination of a man cannot comprehend You and the praise of people\nequal to the number of Your Bounties and Your thankfulness equal to\nthe number of rotation of day and night. O Allah all the goodness are in\nYour Power, and You are their Lord, the bestower of the cherished\nbounties. You are the climax of aims, for the sake of Your vast Mercy I\nseek nearness to You in which there is a place for everything. O Allah!\nYou are witnessing my status, aware of my heart, my affairs are not\nconcealed from You, and You are more nearer to me than my jugular\nvein, so please accept my repentance by which I cannot repeat those\nactions again which displease You, and grant me such a pardon after\nwhich I don't indulge in sins, O the most Honourable of all the\nHonourables. O my Lord, You have reformed the corrupted hearts and\nthey have changed and You are the one to oblige the deviated ones and\nguide them by Your Guidance, and reinstate those deviated from the\nright path and change their wrong deeds and laxity grant them Your\nlove, saved them from Your disobedience, bestowed on them the status\nof good doers, put them among the successful people, O Lord, O the\nmost merciful of all the mercifuls, attach me together with those people.\nO Allah I seek of You to bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and the progeny of\nMuhammad (s.a.w.a.) and increase my sustenance the clean, pure and\nsafe and grant me the initiative to do those actions, which makes me\nnearer to You, O Allah I present my helplessness as the one who is\nhelpless and has accepted his deviation. O the one Who forgives, I\nrepent to You, O the bestower of abundance bounties, do not make me\nunsuccessful due to my low deeds, O the most High and Majestic, You\nhave always dealt with the sinners by forgiveness, please conceal the\nevil deeds of this despised soul. O Lord, I have directed my attention\ntowards You, by the right which You have made obligatory on me,\nbecause I don't have any good deed with which I can present myself, the\nevils deeds are a barrier between me and the pious people, and as my\ndeeds are not such that can make me the companions of Your Prophets\nso by the names which I have beseeched You, You make me turn\ntowards them, O my Lord, will You turn me unsuccessful whereas You\nare my hope and will You turn me back empty-handed? In fact You are\nmy initial hope. O He Who is present and famous for Generosity, the\naffairs of entire creation will ultimately return to You. Bless Muhammad\n(s.a.w.a.) and his progeny and oblige me by taking me into their service\nwhose refuge is in Your neighbourhood, brothers, sisters, and include\nme among those whom Your mercy covers. Your signs are reserved for\nthem, and Your favours are exclusively for them, You have created them\npure, doers of good, pious and great. Make me reach Your prophet\nMuhammad (s.a.w.a.) Mustafa peace be on him and his progeny\nbecause he is on a station which is very nearer to You and O the\nBeneficent and the Merciful forgive me and the believers and their\nparents and their brothers and sisters.","title":"The Alawite Book: His supplication for Saturday","type":"page"}
