His supplication in asking for needs and
attaining Proximity to Allah
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I am linked with such a bond with Allah, there is no god but Him. He is
the one to give life to the dead and is their inheritor. I hold the robe of
such a Majestic Allah Who neither begets, Who looks after creatures
and is their custodian. I seek proximity to Allah Who does not have a
partner and he told the earth and the skies to be prepared for His
commands either willingly or unwillingly; both replied we are ready
willingly. I seek protection from Allah Who does not have a partner Who
is neither lazy nor sleeps. I seek nearness to Allah Who does not have a
partner. He is Beneficent Who rules in the skies Who is aware of the
action of the eyes and the secrets of the hearts. I seek refuge in Allah
Who does not have a partner and is aware of things in the Heavens and
the Earth and the things in between them and also that which is below
the crust of the earth. I seek protection from Allah Who does not have a
partner Who sees everyone but is not seen by anyone although He is at
a place of manifestation from the beginning to the end. I seek nearness
from Allah Who does not have a partner and in front of Whose Majesty
everything bow their head. I seek proximity to Allah Who does not have
a partner Who in spite of being near is on the great heights and
although being on great heights is near and is Powerful. I seek nearness
to Allah Who does not have a partner Whose power cannot be
described by tongues. I seek refuge in Allah Who does not have a
partner Who is living and eternal Who neither doses nor sleeps. I seek
nearness to Allah Who does not have a partner. He is extremely
beneficent and an obliger beyond measure; possessor of Grandeur and
Majesty. I seek proximity to Allah Who does not have a partner and is
self-sufficient that neither begets nor is begotten and there is no one like
Him. I seek refuge in Allah Who does not have a partner; all the
goodness is in His control and He has power over all things. I seek
closeness to Allah Who does not have a partner. Everything in the
Heavens and Earth glorify Him and everything is obedient to Him. I seek
proximity to Allah Who has no partner. He is Living and Wise, the
Hearing, the Knowing, the Beneficent, the Merciful. I seek closeness to
Allah Who does not have a partner. I rely on Him Who is the possessor
of the heavens. I begin in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
O Allah I ask from You, although You are well aware of my desires, I
seek from You whereas You know my wants. I have turned to You and
You are aware of my defects. O the one Who raises the skies, O the
averter of troubles, O the refuge of needy, O the one to fulfill the
desires. Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.), the seal of the Prophets, and his
pure progeny. O Allah forgive my sins and all those things which You
are aware of more than me. O Allah forgive those sins which I have
committed knowingly or in ignorance, in happiness or in sorrow,
purposely or unintentionally. O Allah! Forgive my sins which I have
committed or which I will commit in future in private or in public. Forgive
them as You are the first and the last and You have power over all
things. O Allah, if You pardon me, pardon me completely because who is
that creature who has never committed a sin?
