His supplication for the twenty-sixth of the
month
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O Allah! Bless Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhammad. I beseech
You, O the Lord of the seven Heavens, seven Earths, the things in them
and in between them, the Lord of all seven quatrains (Surah-e-Hamd)
and the great Quran, the Lord of Jibraeel, Mikaeel, Israfil, Lord of all the
Angels, Lord of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) the last of the Prophets and the
Messengers and the Lord of the whole creation. O Allah! I beseech You
with Your name with which the Heavens remain well set in their places
and so do the Earth, with the blessing of that name, and through that
name You have kept in Your knowledge the measurement of the
oceans, and the weight of the mountains, and with it You cause death to
the living, and give life to the dead, and with that name You create the
clouds, and through it You send forth the wind, and through it provide
the bondsmen with sustenance, and reckoned through it the particles of
sand, and do what You wish and whereby You say to a thing "Be" and it
comes into existence, so remove my poverty with Your Needlessness,
and accept my invocation, and bestow on me my wants, and fulfill my
hopes, and favour me with happiness as a blessing for me out of Your
Mercy, and grant me peace in place of fears, and keep me alive with
perfect bounties, comfort, the best of sustenance, affluence and a happy
life. And enable me to offer thanks to You for what You have bestowed
upon me, and continue this without any break throughout my life till You
change it with the bounties of the Hereafter. O Allah! Lies within Your
control the destiny of the World, Hereafter, the day and night, the life
and death and so also the success, failure, virtue and vice are controlled
by You. O Allah! Bless me in Faith on which depends my affair and
bless me in this world the source of my livelihood, and bless me in my
Hereafter to which is my return and bless me in all my affairs. O Allah!
You are Allah, There is no god save You. Your promise is true and so is
our presence before You. I seek refuge with You from the evils of life
and death. I seek refuge with You from the abhorrent affairs of the world
and those of the Hereafter. And I seek refuge with You from the evils of
Dajjal. And I seek refuge with You against skepticism, vices, slackness
and defeat. And I seek refuge with You from miserliness and prodigality.
O Allah! It has passed what was to happen as a sequel to my past
deeds performed against my own self. O my Lord! You are my Lord, You
have control over me and I do not have. O my Lord! You created me
helpless and I am nothing but due to You. There is no goodness except
from You and I could never avert any evil save that which You dispelled.
To dispel the evil was neither within my power nor could I think of doing
so. O my Lord! You took me where I could not hope to reach and
bestowed upon me O' my Lord! that for which I had lost all hopes Praise
be therefore to You. O the Forgiver of sins! Forgive me and cast into my
heart Your pleasure so as to render easy for me the most difficult
situations in the world O my Lord! Bestow upon me all the means of
happiness, comfort and goodness. O Allah! Grant me such means and
guide me towards it and show me the way to get out of the difficulties. O
Allah! From those of Your bondsmen to whom You delegated power to
exercise on me and authority to settle my affair, You take that control
from them within Your possession from their hearts, tongues, ears eyes,
from their front, from behind them, from above them, from underneath
their feet, from their right, from their left, and from where You wish, and
in the manner You desire till none can reach me with evil intention. O
Allah! Keep me under Your protection and near You for Your nearness
is honoured, Your praise is great. There is no god save You. You are all
peace and peace emanates from You. O the Glorious and Gracious! I
beseech You to save me from the Hell-fire and accommodate me in the
abode of peace. O Allah! I request You to grant me all the good of this
world and of the Hereafter, and I seek refuge with You against all the
evils of this world and that of the Hereafter known to me or not. And I
ask You all the good requested for and all the good not requested for.
And I seek Your protection against all evils I fear or I have not feared
thereof. And grant me sustenance from sources I can think of and from
sources I cannot think of. O Allah! I am Your bondsman the son of Your
bondsman and the son of Your maid. Within Your control is my destiny.
Your decisions are just. I beseech You with every name of Yours
whereby You have named Yourself, or which You have sent down in
any of Your revealed Books, or taught anyone of Your Creation, or
Preserved it in the Knowledge of the Unseen with You. Bless
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.), Your Ummi Prophet, bondsman, Messenger and
the chosen one from Your Creation, and his pure and virtuous Progeny,
and have mercy on Muhammad and his Progeny and have mercy on
them in the manner You blessed, favoured and showed mercy to Ibrahim
and his Progeny, verily You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. And make
the Quran the light for my heart soul, and through it make easy for me
my affairs, and expand my chest through it, and make it a delight of my
heart, consolation of my grief, and through it dispel my sadness and
worries, and make pleasant by its blessing my eating and drinking, and
guide me through it in my hearing and seeing, and make it a light for my
mind, bones, nerves hairs, nails, and skin, in front of me, above me,
below me, on my right and on my left. And let it act as light at my death,
and a light in my grave, and a light at the time of reckoning, and a light in
everything till You convey me to Paradise, O the Illuminator of the
Heavens and the Earth. You are as You have praised Yourself in Your
Book. Allah is the Illuminator of the Heavens and the Earth; the
similitude of His Light is as a niche in which is a lamp. The lamp is in a
glass; the glass is as it were a star shinning bright, lit from blessed olive
tree, neither eastern nor western, the oil whereof almost glows forth of
itself, and even though fire touches it not. Light upon Light Allah guides
to His Light whomsoever He wills. Allah sets parables for people and
Allah is All-Aware of all things. O Allah! Guide me through Your Light
and appoint on the day of resurrection a light in front of me, behind me,
on my right side, and on my left side, to guide me to the abode of peace,
O the Glorious and the Gracious! O Allah! I seek forgiveness and
comfort for me for my people, for my children, and protection for my
wealth in this world and in the Hereafter. O Allah! Bless Muhammad
(s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny and protect me from the front, from the back,
from the right side, from the left side, from above, and from below. I seek
refuge with You. O Allah! Master of the realm! You give the realm to
whomsoever You like, and take away the realm from whomsoever You
like, in Your hands lies all the good; verily! You are over all things
Mighty. You cause the night to pass into the day and You cause the day
to pass into the night. You bring forth the living out of the dead and You
bring forth the dead out of the living, and You give sustenance to
whomsoever You like without measure. O the beneficent and the
Merciful in this world and the Hereafter! You bestow Your beneficence
and Mercy on whomsoever You like withhold the same for whomsoever
You like. Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny and have mercy
on me, repay my loan, forgive my sins and fulfill my needs, verily! You
are Powerful over all things. O Allah! I beseech You for You are the
Master of everything and what You wish does happen. O Allah I seek
from You true belief strong conviction without any skepticism, humility
with no element of pride in it, mercy which should lead me to the honour
of Your grace in this world and in the Hereafter. Verily You are Powerful
over all things. Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his pure and purified
Progeny with Your mercy, O the most Merciful!
