His supplication for the twenty-fourth of the
month
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O Allah! Protect my faith, protect my body, and protect my hearing, and
seeing and let these two be my inheritors. O the Creator! You have no
beginning. O the Everlasting! You have no end. O the Ever-living! Death
touches You not. O Who gives life to the dead! O Who watches the
deeds of every soul! Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny, and
do with me in the manner befitting Your dignity. O Allah! The Cleaver of
the dawn Who has made the night for rest, and the sun and the moon
for reckoning (time), repay my loan, and protect me from poverty, and
make the faculties of hearing and seeing beneficial for me, and bestow
upon me enough strength to strive in Your way, O the Most Merciful! O
Allah! You are the Most Merciful, There is no god save You, and
innovator like to You, before You, Everlasting with no end, Ever-living
Whom death touches not, the Creator of what is seen and of what is not
seen. Every day You are in a new splendorous manifestation. Bless
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny. Your dignity demands that there
should be forgiveness from You for me, my parents, my children and my
brothers, O the Most Merciful! O Allah! You are All-knowing without
being informed. All Praise be therefore to You. O Allah! O Allah! Allah is
my Lord. I do not associate anything with Him. He is All-hearing,
All-seeing. Vision perceives Him not and He perceives all vision. He is
the Subtle, All-aware. O Allah! I beseech You and You do what You wish
and I turn to You through Muhammad Your Prophet, Prophet of mercy
(s.a.w.a.). O Muhammad (s.a.w.a.)! I turn through you to Allah, your Lord
and my Lord, for the fulfillment of my needs, and that He may bless you
and your pure and purified progeny, and O Allah! Deal with me as it
befits You. O Allah! I beseech You with that name of Yours with which
walking is possible on water in the manner one walks on leveled ground.
And I beseech You with that name of Yours which Musa (a.s.) invoked
You from the auspicious Mount Sinai, and the invocation was accepted
by You and You cast down upon him love from You. And I beseech You
with that name of Yours with which Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) invoked You
and You thereupon forgave him the past, and perfected on him Your
bounties. Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny and do with me
that which befits You. O Allah! I beseech You in the name of the
honoured portions of Your Throne and in the name of utmost mercy of
Your Book. And I beseech You with Your sublime name, Your glory,
Your perfect words from the influence of which neither the pious nor the
non-virtuous can escape. And I beseech You, O Allah, O the Beneficent,
O the merciful, O the Glorious, O Allah the One, the matchless, the
Unique, the Needles, Firm in justice, There is no god save You the
Mighty and All-wise, You are Peerless, the Great and the Sublime to
bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny, and to make me enter the
Paradise, forgiven without any reckoning and bestow on me out of Your
blessings, generosity compassion, mercy and favours such that it befits
You. O Allah! Spoil not my name and disfigure not my body, break not
my back with trials and let not my enemies mock at me, O the Generous!
O Allah! I seek refuge with You from riches making me rebellious against
You and from poverty making me forget everything - Commands and
Prohibitions, and from desires leading me to ruination and from deeds
causing disgrace. I believe in One and Matchless Lord - I associate
none with Him and call none other than Him as deity nor do I accept
anyone else beside Him as my Master. O Allah! Bless Muhammad
(s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny, and make those things easy for me the
hardships of which I am afraid of, and lighten those affairs which I feel
difficult, and make those things non-fatiguing which are tiring and help
me to overcome the harshness of problems I am afraid of, and with Your
pleasure grant me happiness in exchange of distress in the worldly life
and in the life of Hereafter. O Allah! Grant me the sincerity of Prophets
in my reliance on You, and the efficacy of accepted invocations in my
invocations and make my deeds like the deeds which find acceptance
with You. O Allah! Grant me ability to carry out the commands the
burden whereof You lay on me, and lay not on me the burden of the
commands which I am unable to carry out. Allah is sufficient for me as
the Most Excellent Protector. O Allah! Send help for me and not against
me. Decide in my favour against those who behave unjustly with me,
devise for me and contrive not against me. Guide me and make the
guidance easy for me. O Allah! I entrust to You under Your trusteeship
my belief, my trust the result of my deeds, and all the bounties of the
world and those of the Hereafter bestowed upon me by You, verily You
do not lose the trust of others. There is neither anyone to protect me
against You nor do I have any refuge beside You. O Allah! Bless
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny and leave me not alone to myself
even for the winking of an eye. And take not back the good which You
have bestowed upon me, for verily none can withhold that which You
bestow, and none can bestow that which You withhold. The good luck of
any striver makes him not independent of You. O our Lord! Grant us
good in this world and good in the Hereafter and save us from the
torment of Hellfire. And bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his virtuous
Progeny! O the Most Merciful!
