Another of his Supplication (Munajat)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Here I am! Here I am! You are the Master!
Have mercy on this helpless creature whose
refuge is Your realm.
O the Owner of heights I have faith in You.
Blesses is the one whose Master You are.
Fortunate is the one who is himself repentant
and who keeps awake at night.
And mentions his afflictions to the Lord of
Majesty and Honor.
He neither has a sickness nor a disease.
One who has collected the treasure of his
Master.
When he prays with fervour in loneliness in the
dark nights.
Allah accepts his supplications and says
Labbaik. (Here I am).
One of his Dua in Nahjul Balagha
O’ my Allah! You are the most attached to Your lovers and the
most ready to assist those who trust in You. You see them in
their concealments, know whatever is in their consciences, and
are aware of the extent of their intelligence. Consequently, their
secrets are open to You and their hearts are eager for You. If
loneliness bores them, Your remembrance gives them solace. If
distresses befall them, they beseech Your protection, because
they know that the reins of affairs are in Your hands, and that their
movements depend upon Your commands.
O’ my Allah! If I am unable to express my request or cannot see
my needs, then guide me towards my betterment and take my
betterment and take my heart towards the correct goal. This is not
against (the mode of) Your guidance nor anything new against
Your ways of support.
O’ my Allah! Deal with me through Your forgiveness and do not
deal with me according to Your justice.
