Pure is Allah Who is aware of every whisper due to His\nknowledge and is different from all the creatures possessing a body.\nThere is no Lord except Allah. He cannot be seen by imagination or with\neyes, and cannot be denied due to intellect and reason. Nor He can be\ncreated by the heart. He is aware of the indication of eyes and the\nsecrets of the hearts and Allah is too great and Majestic Who is aware of\nthe Qualities of the creation and is aware of the secrets of the entire\nUniverse. O Allah! I seek from You like the one who does not fear his\nlord while asking from Him, and I beseech You like the one who is\ndrowned in calamities and desires to come out of them. And I call upon\nYou, so restlessly as the one who is repenting on his sins and errors.\nAnd You are the most merciful, Lord of the entire creation, creating\nvarious creatures by Your Will. You have fixed their life span and their\nsustenance creating of a creature is not difficult for You and designed\nthem as You desired. You are above everything so as not to be\ndependant on anything, or that a partner be ascribed to You. We cannot\nsee You with eyes, no false belief can reach up to You, and You have\nno partners, no opposite and no equal. You are one, alone and eternal.\nYou are the first, the last, the Knower, unconcerned and the everlasting,\nYou are not a son of anyone and no one is Your son. None is like You\nand no one can understand You by praising or by imagination. No time,\nno rotation of the earth can change You. You were Eternal and will\nremain everlasting till end. You know what is concealed. Your\nknowledge is same as for the apparent thing. O the one! O the one in\ncomparsion of Whose greatness the greatest personalities are nothing.\nAnd before Whose might the mighty people are helpless. The words of\nthe litterateurs fail to reach His Being. The One Who has fixed the\ncourse of action of everything. And the writings of the eloquent ones fail\nto express His realities. O my Master! Would You punish me with the fire\nwhile You are my aspiration? Or would You appoint the Hell Fire on me\nwhile I confess to Your Oneness? And I humble myself to express my\nhelplessness and lowliness before you. Or my tongue would be\nstammering at the time of the accounting while it were You Who had\nforged the paths of Your glorification, praise and extolling. O Helper of\nseekers, O Protector of frightened people who seek protection, of\nfrightened people who seek protection, O comforter to remove the sorry\nstate of afflicted persons. O cherisher, of learned people and O greatest\nof all, O merciful, O my Lord, bless Muhammad Mustafa (s.a.w.a.) and\nhis progeny. Accept my repentance give me good health and do favour\nfor my livelihood and place me among the pious people. O Allah! You\nconsidered me as a sinner, I cry for mercy and quote for the sake of\nYour grace and honourable places and Your grandeur and magnificence\nthat no one can oppose You. O Allah, send Your blessings on\nMuhammad (s.a.w.a.) Mustafa and his progeny. O My Lord, make me\nfortunate because all matters are in Your possession. You are giving\nYour protection as there is no one except You who can give protection.\nYou have power over all things. You are Merciful and Knower of all\nthings. You know what is in my heart but I am not aware what is in your\nheart. Of course You know all secrets very well. Bestow Your favour on\nme, as You always bestowed Your blessings on whom who showed high\nhandedness. Do favour on me as You obliged on them who were lost in\nan ocean of errors and their errors caused them to die. O the One Who\nis forgiving to the sinners, forgive and overlook my sins. Because You\nalways do favour on the sinners, and You have always dealt with mercy\nthose who stumble over sins and those who have dared to defy Your\ncommands and became eligible for Hell. O the One Who is aware of the\nsecrets, O the Overpowering and the Powerful. O my Master! You\nYourself fulfill the rights of the parents and siblings that You have made\nincumbent upon me. Please transfer this responsibility of mine on\nYourself, O the One possessing grace and majesty. Forgive the\nbelieving men and women; indeed You are powerful over everything.","title":"The Alawite Book: His Supplication for Wednesday","type":"page"}
