His Supplication for Wednesday
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Praise is for Allah Who is pleased with the one who invokes Him and
who supplicates to Him and in realizing his stubbornness His wrath is
concealed. Pure is Allah Who is aware of every whisper due to His
knowledge and is different from all the creatures possessing a body.
There is no Lord except Allah. He cannot be seen by imagination or with
eyes, and cannot be denied due to intellect and reason. Nor He can be
created by the heart. He is aware of the indication of eyes and the
secrets of the hearts and Allah is too great and Majestic Who is aware of
the Qualities of the creation and is aware of the secrets of the entire
Universe. O Allah! I seek from You like the one who does not fear his
lord while asking from Him, and I beseech You like the one who is
drowned in calamities and desires to come out of them. And I call upon
You, so restlessly as the one who is repenting on his sins and errors.
And You are the most merciful, Lord of the entire creation, creating
various creatures by Your Will. You have fixed their life span and their
sustenance creating of a creature is not difficult for You and designed
them as You desired. You are above everything so as not to be
dependant on anything, or that a partner be ascribed to You. We cannot
see You with eyes, no false belief can reach up to You, and You have
no partners, no opposite and no equal. You are one, alone and eternal.
You are the first, the last, the Knower, unconcerned and the everlasting,
You are not a son of anyone and no one is Your son. None is like You
and no one can understand You by praising or by imagination. No time,
no rotation of the earth can change You. You were Eternal and will
remain everlasting till end. You know what is concealed. Your
knowledge is same as for the apparent thing. O the one! O the one in
comparsion of Whose greatness the greatest personalities are nothing.
And before Whose might the mighty people are helpless. The words of
the litterateurs fail to reach His Being. The One Who has fixed the
course of action of everything. And the writings of the eloquent ones fail
to express His realities. O my Master! Would You punish me with the fire
while You are my aspiration? Or would You appoint the Hell Fire on me
while I confess to Your Oneness? And I humble myself to express my
helplessness and lowliness before you. Or my tongue would be
stammering at the time of the accounting while it were You Who had
forged the paths of Your glorification, praise and extolling. O Helper of
seekers, O Protector of frightened people who seek protection, of
frightened people who seek protection, O comforter to remove the sorry
state of afflicted persons. O cherisher, of learned people and O greatest
of all, O merciful, O my Lord, bless Muhammad Mustafa (s.a.w.a.) and
his progeny. Accept my repentance give me good health and do favour
for my livelihood and place me among the pious people. O Allah! You
considered me as a sinner, I cry for mercy and quote for the sake of
Your grace and honourable places and Your grandeur and magnificence
that no one can oppose You. O Allah, send Your blessings on
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) Mustafa and his progeny. O My Lord, make me
fortunate because all matters are in Your possession. You are giving
Your protection as there is no one except You who can give protection.
You have power over all things. You are Merciful and Knower of all
things. You know what is in my heart but I am not aware what is in your
heart. Of course You know all secrets very well. Bestow Your favour on
me, as You always bestowed Your blessings on whom who showed high
handedness. Do favour on me as You obliged on them who were lost in
an ocean of errors and their errors caused them to die. O the One Who
is forgiving to the sinners, forgive and overlook my sins. Because You
always do favour on the sinners, and You have always dealt with mercy
those who stumble over sins and those who have dared to defy Your
commands and became eligible for Hell. O the One Who is aware of the
secrets, O the Overpowering and the Powerful. O my Master! You
Yourself fulfill the rights of the parents and siblings that You have made
incumbent upon me. Please transfer this responsibility of mine on
Yourself, O the One possessing grace and majesty. Forgive the
believing men and women; indeed You are powerful over everything.
