In the name Of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. There is no deity except Allaah, the Unique, He has no associate. His is the kingdom and praise, He gives and takes life (as He likes). He is Ever-
living, to Him belong all goodness and He has power over all things.
Oh our Lord! Who fulfills the needs of petitioners, and knows best the
thoughts of the quiet. Oh You besides Whom no other master can be called upon, and beside Whom there is no hope. There is no creator above
Him to be feared. Oh our Lord! our request is that of one in dire need and we humble ourselves before You as sinners. We call on You in our state of distress.,
have compassion on us, You are the best to request from and the best to
grant.
Oh Lord! Give us the grace of guidance and adorn us with piety, forgive us
our iniquities here and the hereafter. Oh Lord! Let there be light in our
hearts, in our ears, in our sights, above us, beneath us and behind us.
Oh Lord! purify our heats, make our mission easy forus to accomplish.
You are best to implore for help and the most gentrous of all givers. We
implore You Who no request can confuse His listening to requests, neither
can multiplicity of voices obscure His attention.
The demands (ofHis servants) are neveE AMbiguous to Him. You are fhe
begining and nothing is before You. The Last and nothing after You. yon
are the Apparent and nothing is above You, the Hidden and nothing besides
You. Oh Lord! You know the innermost secrets, You hear the most silent
yoice, You are the one to resurrect the dead, the best in answering
supplications, One Who grants request, the Creator of Heaven and the
Earth. You are Allaah, there is no god except You, the only One, the
Unique, the Absolute, the Benevolent Who is never stingy. We request you
to grant us useful knowledge, expansive provision, remembering and
righteous acts and sound faith (0 Allaah). Let our last days be the best
days of our lives, let our last deeds be the best and let the best day be the
day we meet You.
(0Allaah) strengthen us with Your command, empower us with Your help,
save us from Your punishment on the Day You resurrect Your servants.O
Allaah! Grant that we conclude our affairs gloriously, make our aspiration
realised by Your grace. Make casy for us attainment ofYour pleasure in all
our ways.
O our Lord! Don't leave out, in this our situation, a single sin except that
You forgive it, likewise a distress unremoved, and no absent member
except that You bring him back (to us) safely, and no sorrow unremoved,
leave no debt to us unpaid, and no enemy without shielding us from his evil
and no corruption without reforming it and no sickness uncured, leave no
gap (in our lives) unfilled, likewise, leave no need to us unattended here
and in the hereafter. We ask because You often guide to the right path and
enrich the poor.
0 Allaah) we cannot escape our return to You. make our excuses acceptable (to You), and our sins forgiven, and our effort appreciatea.
Lord give us the good in this life and in the hereafter, and i save us from the
punishment of Hell fire. Forgive us, and our parents, our grand parents, our
offsprings, all male and female Muslims, male and female faithΕul.
