Another of his supplications to be recited in
the morning
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Praise for Allah Who has not left me dead or sick in the morning, neither
my veins have any sign of defect nor He has accounted me for my
horrible deeds. Neither He has discontinued my sequence nor made me
a disbeliever nor I am a denier of my Lord, neither I am terrified of my
faith nor do I doubt my intellect nor punished in the chastisment the
earlier nations. I am like the one who has done injustice on his soul. My
Lord, Your proof is upon me and no proof of mine is upon You. I do not
possess the power that I gain something except Your religion in which
nobody is saved, except whom You save. O Allah! I seek refuge that in
spite of Your Self-Sufficiency I remain dependent and I remain deviated
after Your guidance or I remain degraded in Your kingdom or I remain
oppressed in Your domain. O Allah! My soul is the best bounty from
among Your bounties which You will take from me. O Allah I seek refuge
in You, that without Your permission I do not put my foot down and that
is the first bounty which You will take from the other bounties or else be
a target of corruption and deviation, or our wishes makes us Your
obedient other than that guidance which has come to us through You.
