His supplication for the twenty-eighth of the
month
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O Allah! I seek refuge with You against everything other than You. O
Allah! You are the Greatest. O Allah! Deprive me not of the goodness of
what You have bestowed and make me not suffer any evil what You
have not bestowed. O Allah! I beseech You to bestow upon me family,
wealth, faith, trust, and various children better than bestowed upon Your
bondsmen. O Allah! I am dependent on You, and am afraid of You, and
seek protection from You. O Allah! Protect me against any change in my
name, and disfigure not my body, involve me not in trials, and impose
not on me calamities after calamities. O Allah! I seek refuge with You
from riches leading me to any revolt against You, from egoistic
inclinations of any ruining and from disgracing performances. O Allah!
Forgive my sins, accept my penitence, make me manifest my arguments,
conceal my defects and make Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his chosen
Progeny my Masters and solicitors of Your Mercy for me. O Allah! I seek
refuge with You against any utterance leading me to disobedience to
You and to seek pleasure of other than You. O Allah! I seek refuge with
You that any person other than me should become more auspicious in
respect of what You have bestowed on me. O Allah! I seek refuge with
You from the evil of Satan, from the evil of those in power and from the
orders promulgated by the writing of pens. And I beseech You for
virtuous deeds, life full of bliss and sustenance flowing abundantly. O
Allah! You record the sin, and are well aware of our secrets, and
intervene between the hearts, and the hearts are turned towards You,
and our secrets are manifest before You. Verily, Your command, when
You intend anything, is only that You say it "Be" and there it is. O Allah! I
beseech You in the name of Your Mercy to infuse the spirit of obedience
to You, in every part of my body that I may act obediently, and then
never take this spirit away. O Allah! I beseech You in the name of Your
Mercy to remove disobedience to You from all the parts of my body that
may abstain from disobedience to You and let it not ever return to me. O
Allah! You are a symbol of kindness, and You like forgiveness, so
please forgive me. O Allah! You were and nothing was there to be
perceived and You will survive everything. You are Ever-living,
Self-subsisting. The eyes sleep and the stars set down but neither
slumber nor sleep seizes You. Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his
Progeny, and dispel my grief and anxiety, and enable me to come out
from every affair that grieves me, and make me firm in the belief in
making You my centre of hopes so as to dissuade me from entertaining
any hope from Your creation, and that I trust none save You. O Allah!
Drive me neither to a ruining place nor bring me nearer to it nor include
me among the unmindful persons. O Allah! I seek refuge with You
against my misguiding Your bondsmen and against entertaining any
uncertainty about Your accepting any invocation. O Allah! Your Book
has recorded my sins and Your knowledge has encompassed them and
Your awareness has gone to the detail of it. I am miscreant sinner and
You are Forgiving, Benevolent Lord. I am ready of offer my penitence to
You. I confess what has passed. Kindly overlook what has happened
and forgive my past sins. For Verily, You turn mercifully toward Your
bondsmen. O Allah! None can be better than You in showing Mercy to
me, so kindly be compassionate to me, and impose not anyone in this
world and in the Hereafter on me who may not show mercy towards me.
O Allah! Call me not to account for the misdeeds of mine which You
have kindly concealed so as to punish me on the Day of Resurrection
and let not Your entire creation mock at me. O my Lord! Forgive me in
both the worlds for You are All-forgiving, Merciful. O Allah! I deserve not
to reach Your Mercy but Your Mercy can reach me and take me under
its shelter for it has taken everything within its fold; it should therefore
take me under its fold, O the Most Merciful! O Allah! There are some of
Your privileged bondsmen who obey Your Commands and carry out that
for which You have created them. This ability of theirs is under Your
obligation, bestowed by none other than You. O the Most Merciful! Your
Blessing them with Your Mercy preceded their obedience to You. O
Allah! O my Master! O my Lord! O my Allah! O my Shelter! O my
Protection! O my Strength! O the Comfort of my heart! O my Creator! O
my Providence! Bless me with the privilege given to them with ability to
perform which they were made able and show to me All-embracing
Perfect Mercy as shown to them, O the Most Merciful! O You! Whom
multiple voices do not confuse O You! Whom the requests of the
seekers do not put in the wrong. O You! Whom the pressing solicitations
of persistent requesters do not annoy, make me taste the coolness of
Your Forgiveness and Sweetness of Your Remembrance and Your
Mercy. O Allah! I beseech You for Your Forgiveness of my sins for which
I turned penitent to You but committed the same again. And I seek
forgiveness for disobedience to You, the strength thereof I derived with
Your Bounties bestowed on me. And I seek Your forgiveness for all such
deeds performed to derive Your pleasure but got me mingled with the
things which did not befit You. And I seek Your forgiveness for the
promise which I made but I broke my promise. And I seek Your
forgiveness for deeds committed under the urge of my self-seeking soul
to take advantage of the respite granted by You, through the
performance of such deeds during the respite is not permitted, O the
Glorious and the Gracious! O You! Who bestowed upon me the
knowledge of His Self, occupy me not in anyone else other than You,
and entrust me not to anyone save You, and make me independent of
Your creation save You, O the Most Merciful! Bless Muhammad
(s.a.w.a.) and his purified Progeny.
