Pure is Allah Who sustains the great and\nthe unjust, the intelligent and the fools, when He is Merciful towards the\nnegligent and careless, why will He not be Merciful on those who invoke\nand beseech Him. There is no Lord except Allah and He bestows His\ngrace and Mercy on those who run away from His obedience so that\nthey may refrain from their tyranny and oppression and are prepared to\ndo good deeds with sincere people. And Allah is Great. He is tolerant\nand knowledgeable Who has such amazing and marvelous proofs in the\nuniverse which proves His Godhood, without a doubt. His recognition of\ndestinies and the excellent policies are adequate evidences and the just\nwitnesses are sufficient proof of His Oneness. O my Creator! O He Who\nwards off the misfortune, aware of the secrets, gives abundance in\nbestowal of rewards, I ask You, as the one who is ashamed of his sins\nand is persistently absorbed in disobedience. I don't find anyone other\nthan You who can grant me refuge in it? And there is none other than\nYou, with whom I can get my helplessness dispelled and can put forth\nmy grievances. O the Lord of Majesty Your obligations has spread over\nthe entire creation and Your vast bounties have covered them up, and\nYour complete bestowals are a source of happiness. O the Honourable\nand the Generous and the abundant forgiver, and the one to deal strictly\nwith the disobedient I confess the errors of my soul and I plead to You\nbecause I don't find a better place to seek pardon for my evil deeds,\nother than You. O the bestower of the favourite bounties, and the\nwarder of calamities and the foremost in making the wishes come true.\nThe foreheads are bowed before You, don't send them dejected. Indeed\nYou do what pleases You and command what You like. O My Lord! O\nmy Master! When sorrow and shame is open and the feeling of fear and\nchastisement has fallen down, then who is the lord from whom I can\nhave hopes, who is He to whom I can have hopes, who is He to whom I\ncan turn to and You are the Lord of forgiveness and the peak of Mercy.\nO My Lord! Will You put me among those who will be destroyed,\nwhereas You are the best concealer (of sins)? Will You question me for\nmy sins in everybody's presence, whereas You are aware of the secrets\nof the hearts? O Allah although I have been unjust on my soul, and have\noverlooked Your commands, and have indulged myself in sins, and have\nforgotten everything, but still You are the Owner of favours Who is\nextremely kind towards the sinners and is benevolent upon the evil\ndoers by Your Grace. Thus! O the great Merciful, be kind upon me, as\nYou are the one Who can give peace to the living heart and by Your\nfavours, make the wishes of the hopeful come true. Your mercy also\nshowers on the undeserving. Give me shade in those desires, where\nthere is the sign of despair, and such a hope, which is not destined by\nYour Chastisement. O He Who has covered everything by His\nknowledge, O my Master, now my state is such that from dawn to dusk I\nam begging at the door of Your Mercy and am away from asking from\nanyone else other than You. And Your immense grace is too great to\nreject the plea of a beggar, of a person who is imprisoned, one who is\ninflicted with problems, and one who impatiently awaits Your forgiveness\nto turn him down. O my Lord, the strength, intellect and thoughts are\nincapable to gather knowledge about You and the tongues are\ndumbstruck in praising You. Thus bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his\nprogeny by Your Grace and forgive my sins and grant me pure and\nexcellent and honourable sustenance by Your vast Grace. O the only\nsupport of hopeful, O the one having power on the Heavens and the\nEarth O the one to remain after the destruction of entire creation the\ndeeds on the day of reward and punishment, forgive my laxity O my\nLord! One who due to errors does not have trust on himself, then his\ntrust and the hope of the one who does not find any destination and the\nhope of the one who does not have any hopes left due to his deeds. O\nmy Lord save me from destruction by Your Mercy, and put me among\nYour appointed people, count me among the pious ones, forgive my sins\nof the night and days, O the Knower of the secrets of the hearts, O the\npossessor of grandeur and Majestic, the rights of my parents, brothers,\nand sisters which are obligatory upon me, You fulfill them and relieve me\nwith Your Mercy and include me among those believers, whose\nsupplication You have accepted from the believing men and women.\nIndeed You are Generous, Kind and an excessive forgiver. O Allah bless\nMuhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny and bestow Your best protection.","title":"The Alawite Book: His Supplication for Monday","type":"page"}
