And He is Pure, He\nsubdues the strong and helps the weak and makes the poor rich and\naccepts ordinary deeds and bestows more his blessings. He has power\nover all things. And there is no other god except Allah. His perfectness\nof blessings, correct device, incontrovertible arguments and gives\nsecurity as Allah is Great. His kingdom is safe and its foundations are\nfirm. His arrangement is incomparable His settlement of account is very\nswift. And from all of His prophets Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) is best. O Allah\nbestow Your blessings on Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny. O My\nLord! On the day of resurrection one who is frightened or trembled or\nterrified to be caught in resurrection day, or one who was proud and\nnow felt ashamed and idolaters, afflicted in checking their accounts,\nterrified person pray to Allah. No shelter can hide him in this situation\nand no one can give them shelter except You. He was repenting for his\nbad deeds and was confessing for his great sins. Sorrows arrest him or\nan expansion of earth which becomes narrow for him and he is assured\nof his death and makes haste to repent before his death. If You do Your\nfavour on him and forgive, then O my Lord! When my desires dies You\nare my wish, You are my shelter when I do not find any shelter. O my\nLord, You are one and alone in faith and greatness and in Oneness.\nYou are great in grandeur and magnificence. O my Lord, all praise is for\nYou. No shelter can hide You. No time or circumstance can change You,\nYou have created various things together in one place and created the\nlight of dawn and avert the darkness of night and makes sweet and pure\nstreams from the hard rocks and cold showers from the clouds and\nmakes the Sun shine like a lamp and makes the moon and the stars like\nthe towers of light for the world and created the things in the very\nbeginning without any effort or without taking pain. As You are the\nmaster of all things and You are the Provider and Powerful over all\nthings. One can be said respectable only if You respect him and One\nwho is dishonoured by You is disgraced and if You make one fortunate\nhe is lucky and if You make him unfortunate he is miserable and if You\nmake one rich he is rich and if You make him dependant he is a beggar.\nO Allah! You are my guardian and my fortune and my sustenance is in\nYour hand. Send Your blessing on our chief, Muhammad and his\nprogeny (s.a.w.a.). And do good turn with me, which is worthy of Your\nsplendour. Be kind with one who is ignorant or falsehood has\nover-whelmed him and make a truce with the world and make\ncommission of prohibition and sins. O my Lord, settle me with those who\nseek protection by repentance. Repentance is an asylum of a sinful\nperson. Make me independent from the world by Your high power and\nkindness. Do not make me dependant of anyone. Forgive me on the Day\nof Judgment. No doubt You are kind and a more generous than others.\nYour esteem is honourable of all. O my Lord, Your Beautiful Names and\ngreat instances are overwhelming on the earth and the heaven. I in the\nhopeful manner turned my face towards You so do not send me empty\nhanded from Your bounties. No doubt You are generous, graceful and\nkind to all; and take care of the people. I beg You to bless Muhammad\nMustafa and his Progeny (s.a.w.a.) and increase my virtues and make\nthe last stage of my journey good, conceal my sins. O my Lord save me\nfrom Your severe chastisement. You are merciful and generous. O Allah,\nmy good and bad deeds keep me in between virtues and chastisement. I\nhope You shall conceal my bad virtues after confessing. O Forgiving, for\nthe sake of Your Mercy, forgive me for false steps taken. Because O my\nLord, there is no god except You to Whom I raise hope. No one is mine\nexcept You to Whom I raise hope. No one is mine except You that I\nrequest You to remove my poverty. O Forgiver of sins and troubles do\nnot turn me away without blessings. O my Lord! Make me happy, as I\nwill not be first one from the happiest men whom You made happy\nbefore. O Master of blessings and severe Chastiser, let me be so\nparticular for salvation that misfortune cannot pass by and confer on me\ngood fortune that no trouble can come near it. Send me divine help of\nlove and fear of You and keep me safe from destruction and do not\nallow the fire of hell over me. You are only worthy for salvation and\npiety. I pray to You and You have promised acceptance so do not make\nme disappointed. For the sake of Your blessings, favours and\nprovidence I pray to You. O Allah You have power over all things. The\nmatters of the world and resurrection have made me sad, so make me\nfree as You are hearing and merciful to whom You like. Keep me among\nthe pious and Your beloved people who will be along with Your\nApostles, sincere, and martyrs in Paradise. They will be good virtuous\npeople. How nice will be their companionship? O My Lord! Whatever the\nduties are on me, accomplish them especially the duties of my parents,\nbrothers and sisters and forgive me and them with all believing men and\nwomen. Indeed You are very near, knower and hearer of prayers and\nvery auspicious. O the kind, the most kind of all. My request is very easy\nfor You. O Allah! Grant complete safety with Your blessings on\nMuhammad Mustafa (s.a.w.a.) and his infallible and most pure Progeny.","title":"The Alawite Book: His Supplication for Thursday","type":"page"}
