His supplication for the twenty-fifth of the
month
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
I seek refuge with the perfect words of Allah from the influence of which
neither the pious nor the vicious can escape, from the evil of Everything
that grows in the earth or comes out of it, or descends down from the
Heavens, or ascends towards it, and from the evil of the misfortune of
the day and night (i.e. vicissitude of fortune), and from every mishap
save the mishap behind which is hidden good luck. O the Beneficent! O
the Most Merciful! O Allah! I aspire to have such a faith after which there
should be no turning to faithlessness, and aspire to have an everlasting
bounty and companionship of the Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and of
his virtuous and purified Progeny in the eternal garden of Paradise with
the Prophets, the truthfuls, the martyrs and the virtuous ones and
excellent are these as companion. O Allah! Give me peace in exchange
of fears and put a veil against my defects and overlook my lapses, for
You are Allah, There is no god save You - You are One and there is no
associate with You, for You is the absolute kingdom and for You is all
praise. And You are Powerful over everything. O Allah! I entreat You for
You are entreated, You are the praised, believed as One, Adorable, the
great Benefactor with eternal good, Originator of the Heavens and the
Earth, Glorious and Gracious, to forgive all my sins minor, major
committed intentionally or in unawareness and those which I have
forgotten personally, but You have preserved them. Verily You are
Merciful and turn towards Your bondsmen mercifully. O Allah! O the
Originator of the Heavens and the Earth! O the Glorious and the
Gracious! O the Succourer of those who seek Your help! O the
Redresser of grievances and the centre for those who love to be
inclined towards You. You are the Dispeller of the Agony of those in
distress. You are the Bestower of pleasure to the sad. You are the
Answerer to the call of those in distress. You are devotedly worshipped
by the Worlds! You are the Most Merciful. You are Dispeller of every
affliction and the destination for achievement of the desires. Bless
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny and treat me in the way that
befits Your honour. There is no deity save You my Lord. You are my
Master and I am Your slave, son of Your slave and son of Your maid. My
destiny is within Your control. I have been unjust to myself and I confess
my sins and misdeeds. I beseech You for it is Your right to bestow
favours, O the Great Benefactor! O the Innovator of the Heavens and
the Earth! O the Glorious and the Gracious! Bestow upon Muhammad
(s.a.w.a.) Your Bondsman and messenger and on his Progeny, the best
of Your blessings never bestowed on anyone of Your Creation. I
beseech You in the name of Your Power, whereby You split the sea for
the children of Israel, to protect me from every rebel, envious person, the
enemy and opponent. And I beseech You with the name of Yours with
which You shook the mountain over as if it were a covering, and people
thought that it was going to fall down upon them, to protect me against
what I fear. O Allah! With Your help I avert my fear for them. And I seek
refuge with You from their evil and seek Your protection against them. I
seek help from You against them. O Allah! Allah is my Lord - I associate
none with Him nor do I accept anyone as my Master. O Allah! Send Your
Blessings on Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny. Ameen.
