مُقَدِّمَةُ الْمُؤَلِّفِ

Muqaddimatu al-muʾallifi

The author’s introduction

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّٰهِ الَّذِي دَعَانَا لِلْإِيمَانِ وَهَدَانَا بِالْقُرْآنِ،

Al-ḥamdu lillāhi alladhī daʿānā li-l-īmāni wahadānā bi-al-qurʾāni,

Praise belongs to Allah, who called us to faith and guided us through the Qurʾān,

وَأَجَابَ دَعْوَتَنَا بِالْفَضْلِ وَالْإِحْسَانِ،

Waʾajāba daʿwatanā bi-al-faḍli wa-al-iḥsāni,

and answered our prayers with grace and kindness.

وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى سَيِّدِ الْخَلْقِ الدَّاعِي إِلَى دَعْوَةِ الْحَقِّ،

Wa-al-ṣalātu wa-al-salāmu ʿalā sayyidi al-khalqi al-dāʿī ilā daʿwati al-ḥaqqi,

Blessings and peace be upon the master of creation, who calls people to the truth,

وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ، وَتَابِعِيهِ وَحِزْبِهِ،

Waʿalā ālihi waṣaḥbihi, watābiʿīhi waḥizbihi,

and upon his family, companions, followers and devoted community,

الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى كَلِمَتِهِ وَالرُّعَاةِ لِأُمَّتِهِ فِي مِلَّتِهِ.

Al-duʿāti ilā kalimatihi wa-al-ruʿāti liʾummatihi fī millatihi.

who call people to his message and care for his community within his religion.

أَمَّا بَعْدُ:

Ammā baʿdu:

To proceed:

فَيَقُولُ الْعَبْدُ الدَّاعِي مَغْفِرَةَ رَبِّهِ الْبَارِي:

Fayaqūlu al-ʿabdu al-dāʿī maghfirata rabbihi al-bārī:

The servant who asks forgiveness from his Lord, the Maker, says:

عَلِيُّ بْنُ سُلْطَانِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَارِي، سَتَرَ اللَّٰهُ عُيُوبَهُمَا، وَغَفَرَ ذُنُوبَهُمَا:

ʿaliyyu bnu sulṭāni Muḥammadin al-qārī, satara Allāhu ʿuyūbahumā, waghafara dhunūbahumā:

ʿAlī ibn Sulṭān Muḥammad al-Qārī—may Allah conceal his and his father’s faults and forgive their sins:

لَمَّا رَأَيْتُ بَعْضَ السَّالِكِينَ يَتَعَلَّقُونَ بِأَوْرَادِ الْمَشَايِخِ الْمُعْتَبَرِينَ،

Lammā raʾaytu baʿḍa al-sālikīna yataʿallaqūna biʾawrādi al-mashāyikhi al-muʿtabarīna,

I saw some spiritual seekers attach themselves to the litanies of respected masters

وَبِأَحْزَابِ الْعُلَمَاءِ الْمُكَرَّمِينَ،

Wabiʾaḥzābi al-ʿulamāʾi al-mukarramīna,

and the prayer collections of honoured scholars.

حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ بَعْضَهُمْ تَعَلَّقُوا بِالدُّعَاءِ السَّيْفِيِّ، وَالْأَرْبَعِينَ الِاسْمِيِّ،

Ḥattā raʾaytu baʿḍahum taʿallaqū bi-al-duʿāʾi al-sayfiyyi, wa-al-arbaʿīna al-ismiyyi,

I even saw some devoted to the Sword Supplication and the Forty Names.

وَوَجَدْتُ بَعْضَ الْعَوَامِّ يَتَقَيَّدُونَ بِقِرَاءَةِ نَحْوِ دُعَاءِ الْقَدَحِ،

Wawajadtu baʿḍa al-ʿawāmmi yataqayyadūna biqirāʾati naḥwi duʿāʾi al-qadaḥi,

I also found some ordinary people committed to reciting prayers such as the Supplication of the Cup,

وَيَذْكُرُونَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ مَا لَا شُبْهَةَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْوَضْعِ وَالْقَدْحِ،

Wayadhkurūna fī isnādihi mā lā shubhata fīhi mina al-waḍʿi wa-al-qadḥi,

while relating chains of transmission that are unmistakably fabricated and unsound.

فَخَطَرَ بِبَالِي أَنْ أَجْمَعَ الدَّعَوَاتِ الْمَأْثُورَةَ فِي الْأَحَادِيثِ الْمَنْشُورَةِ

Fakhaṭara bibālī an ajmaʿa al-daʿawāti al-maʾthūrata fī al-aḥādīthi al-manshūrati

So I thought of collecting the transmitted supplications found in the circulated hadith reports,

مِنَ الْكُتُبِ الْمُعْتَبَرَةِ الْمَشْهُورَةِ كَالْأَذْكَارِ لِلنَّوَوِيِّ، وَالْحِصْنِ لِلْجَزَرِيِّ،

Mina al-kutubi al-muʿtabarati al-mashhūrati ka-al-adhkāri li-l-nawawiyyi, wa-al-ḥiṣni li-l-jazariyyi,

from well-known, respected books such as al-Nawawī’s al-Adhkār and al-Jazarī’s al-Ḥiṣn,

وَالْكَلِمِ الطَّيِّبِ، وَالْجَامِعَيْنِ وَالدُّرِّ لِلسُّيُوطِيِّ،

Wa-al-kalimi al-ṭayyibi, wa-al-jāmiʿayni wa-al-durri li-l-suyūṭiyyi,

al-Kalim al-ṭayyib, and al-Suyūṭī’s two Jāmiʿ collections and al-Durr,

وَالْقَوْلِ الْبَدِيعِ لِلسَّخَاوِيِّ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّٰهُ تَعَالَى،

Wa-al-qawli al-badīʿi li-l-sakhāwiyyi raḥimahumu Allāhu taʿālā,

and al-Sakhāwī’s al-Qawl al-badīʿ—may Allah Most High have mercy on them.

مُقَدِّمًا لِلدَّعَوَاتِ الْقُرْآنِيَّةِ،

Muqaddiman li-l-daʿawāti al-qurʾāniyyati,

I begin with the supplications of the Qurʾān

وَخَاتِمًا بِكَيْفِيَّاتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمُحَمَّدِيَّةِ الْمُصْطَفَوِيَّةِ النُّورَانِيَّةِ،

Wakhātiman bikayfiyyāti al-ṣalawāti al-muḥammadiyyati al-muṣṭafawiyyati al-nūrāniyyati,

and end with the luminous forms of invoking blessings upon Muḥammad, the Chosen One.

رَاجِيًا دُعَاءَ مَنْ يَدْعُو لِلدَّاعِي، فَإِنَّ الدَّالَّ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ كَالسَّاعِي،

Rājiyan duʿāʾa man yadʿū li-l-dāʿī, faʾinna al-dālla ʿalā al-khayri ka-al-sāʿī,

I hope that those who pray will pray for this supplicant, for one who points to good shares in its pursuit.

وَأَسْأَلُ اللَّٰهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ سَعْيِي مَشْكُورًا، وَقَصْدِي مَبْرُورًا،

Waʾasʾalu Allāha an yajʿala saʿyī mashkūran, waqaṣdī mabrūran,

I ask Allah to accept my effort and bless my intention,

وَهَٰذَا الْجَمْعَ الَّذِي هُوَ مَعْدِنُ الدُّعَاءِ وَمَنْبَعُ الثَّنَاءِ

Wahādhā al-jamʿa alladhī huwa maʿdinu al-duʿāʾi wamanbaʿu al-thanāʾi

and to make this collection, a treasury of supplication and a spring of praise,

عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ الطَّالِبِينَ مَذْكُورًا،

ʿalā alsinati al-ṭālibīna madhkūran,

constantly remembered on the tongues of seekers,

عَنْ تَحْرِيفِ الْمُبْطِلِينَ وَتَصْحِيفِ الْمُلْحِدِينَ مَهْجُورًا،

ʿan taḥrīfi al-mubṭilīna wataṣḥīfi al-mulḥidīna mahjūran,

and kept free of the distortions of falsifiers and the corrupt readings of those who deviate.

وَسَمَّيْتُهُ: «الْحِزْبَ الْأَعْظَمَ وَالْوِرْدَ الْأَفْخَمَ»

Wasammaytuhu: «al-ḥizba al-aʿẓama wa-al-wirda al-afkhama»

I have named it The Greatest Litany and the Most Sublime Devotional Recitation,

لِانْتِسَابِهِ وَاسْتِنَادِهِ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ الْأَكْرَمِ

Lintisābihi wastinādihi ilā al-rasūli al-akrami

because it derives from and rests upon the most noble Messenger,

صَلَّى اللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَشَرَّفَ وَكَرَّمَ،

Ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama washarrafa wakarrama,

may Allah bless him, grant him peace, and increase his honour and nobility.

فَعَلَيْكَ بِحِفْظِ مَبَانِيهِ، وَالتَّأَمُّلِ فِي مَعَانِيهِ، وَالْعَمَلِ بِمَضْمُونِ مَا فِيهِ،

Faʿalayka biḥifẓi mabānīhi, wa-al-taʾammuli fī maʿānīhi, wa-al-ʿamali bimaḍmūni mā fīhi,

Preserve its wording, reflect on its meanings, and act upon what it contains.

فَإِنَّهُ شَامِلٌ لِلْمُنْجِيَاتِ، وَحَافِلٌ لِلْمُهْلِكَاتِ

Faʾinnahu shāmilun li-l-munjiyāti, waḥāfilun li-l-muhlikāti

It encompasses the means of salvation and addresses the causes of ruin,

لِأَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَآلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ،

Liʾannahu ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wasallama waʾālihi waṣaḥbihi,

for he—may Allah bless him and grant peace, and bless his family and companions—

لَمْ يَتْرُكْ خَصْلَةً حَمِيدَةً، وَلَا خَلَّةً سَعِيدَةً

Lam yatruk khaṣlatan ḥamīdatan, walā khallatan saʿīdatan

left no praiseworthy quality or blessed virtue

إِلَّا طَلَبَهَا مِنَ اللَّٰهِ تَعَالَى وَسَأَلَهَا،

Illā ṭalabahā mina Allāhi taʿālā wasaʾalahā,

without seeking and asking for it from Allah Most High,

وَلَا فَعْلَةً قَبِيحَةً، وَفِطْرَةً رَدِيَّةً إِلَّا اسْتَعَاذَ بِهِ مِنْهَا

Walā faʿlatan qabīḥatan, wafiṭratan radiyyatan illā istaʿādha bihi minhā

and no ugly deed or corrupt disposition without seeking refuge in Him from it,

إِجْمَالًا وَتَفْصِيلًا، وَإِكْمَالًا وَتَكْمِيلًا،

Ijmālan watafṣīlan, waʾikmālan watakmīlan,

both generally and in detail, with completeness and thoroughness,

وَتَذْيِيلًا وَتَتْمِيمًا، وَإِعْلَامًا وَتَعْلِيمًا،

Watadhyīlan watatmīman, waʾiʿlāman wataʿlīman,

adding clarification and completion, making things known and teaching them.

زَادَهُ اللَّٰهُ شَرَفًا وَتَعْظِيمًا وَإِجْلَالًا وَتَكْرِيمًا.

Zādahu Allāhu sharafan wataʿẓīman waʾijlālan watakrīman.

May Allah increase him in honour, greatness, majesty and nobility.

فَهَٰذَا كَمَالُ طَرِيقِ الْمُتَابَعَةِ النَّبَوِيَّةِ، وَزُبْدَةُ الْمَقَامَاتِ الْعَلِيَّةِ،

Fahādhā kamālu ṭarīqi al-mutābaʿati al-nabawiyyati, wazubdatu al-maqāmāti al-ʿaliyyati,

This is the fulfilment of the path of following the Prophet and the essence of the exalted spiritual stations

الْمَنْسُوبَةِ إِلَى السَّادَةِ الصُّوفِيَّةِ الصَّفِيَّةِ،

Al-mansūbati ilā al-sādati al-ṣūfiyyati al-ṣafiyyati,

attributed to the noble, pure-hearted Sufi masters.

فَإِنْ قَدَرْتَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عَلَى قِرَاءَتِهَا فَبِهَا وَنِعْمَتْ،

Faʾin qadarta kulla yawmin ʿalā qirāʾatihā fabihā waniʿmat,

If you can recite these prayers every day, that is excellent.

وَإِلَّا فَفِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ، وَإِلَّا فَفِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ،

Waʾillā fafī kulli jumuʿatin, waʾillā fafī kulli shahrin,

Otherwise, recite them each week, or each month,

وَإِلَّا فَفِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ، وَإِلَّا فَفِي الْعُمْرِ مَرَّةً أَيْضًا غَنِيمَةٌ،

Waʾillā fafī kulli sanatin, waʾillā fafī al-ʿumri marratan ayḍan ghanīmatun,

or each year. Even once in a lifetime is a precious gain.

وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ قِرَاءَتَهَا فِي عَرَفَاتٍ، فَزِدْ فِيهِ

Waʾidhā aradta qirāʾatahā fī ʿarafātin, fazid fīhi

If you wish to recite them at ʿArafāt, add the following:

«lā ilāha illā Allāhu waḥdahu lā sharīka lahu,

“There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner.

Allāhumma raḍḍinī biqaḍāʾika, wabārik lī fīmā quddira lī

O Allah, make me content with Your decree and bless what has been allotted to me,

حَتَّى لَا أُحِبَّ تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ وَلَا تَأْخِيرَ مَا عَجَّلْتَ.

Ḥattā lā uḥibba taʿjīla mā akhkharta walā taʾkhīra mā ʿajjalta.

so that I do not wish to hasten what You delay or delay what You hasten.

اللَّٰهُمَّ لَا عَيْشَ إِلَّا عَيْشُ الْآخِرَةِ.

Allāhumma lā ʿaysha illā ʿayshu al-ākhirati.

O Allah, there is no true life but the life of the Hereafter.

اللَّٰهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مِسْكِينًا، وَأَمِتْنِي مِسْكِينًا، وَاحْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ الْمَسَاكِينِ.

Allāhumma aḥyinī miskīnan, waʾamitnī miskīnan, waḥshurnī fī zumrati al-masākīni.

O Allah, let me live in humble poverty, die in humble poverty, and be raised among the poor.

اللَّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَحْسَنُوا اسْتَبْشَرُوا، وَإِذَا أَسَاؤُوا اسْتَغْفَرُوا.

Allāhumma ijʿalnī mina alladhīna idhā aḥsanū istabsharū, waʾidhā asāʾū istaghfarū.

O Allah, make me one of those who rejoice when they do good and seek forgiveness when they do wrong.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ تَهْدِي بِهَا قَلْبِي،

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka raḥmatan min ʿindika tahdī bihā qalbī,

O Allah, I ask You for mercy from Yourself through which You guide my heart,

وَتَجْمَعُ بِهَا أَمْرِي، وَتَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعَثِي،

Watajmaʿu bihā amrī, watalummu bihā shaʿathī,

unite my affairs and gather together my scattered state,

وَتُصْلِحُ بِهَا غَائِبِي، وَتَرْفَعُ بِهَا شَاهِدِي،

Watuṣliḥu bihā ghāʾibī, watarfaʿu bihā shāhidī,

set right what is hidden in me and elevate what is outward,

وَتُزَكِّي بِهَا عَمَلِي، وَتُلْهِمُنِي بِهَا رُشْدِي،

Watuzakkī bihā ʿamalī, watulhimunī bihā rushdī,

purify my deeds and inspire me to sound judgement,

وَتَرُدُّ بِهَا أُلْفَتِي، وَتَعْصِمُنِي بِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ،

Wataruddu bihā ulfatī, wataʿṣimunī bihā min kulli sūʾin,

restore my bonds of affection and protect me from every evil.

اللَّٰهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي إِيمَانًا لَا يَرْتَدُّ، وَيَقِينًا لَيْسَ بَعْدَهُ كُفْرٌ،

Allāhumma aʿṭinī īmānan lā yartaddu, wayaqīnan laysa baʿdahu kufrun,

O Allah, give me faith that never turns back and certainty never followed by disbelief,

وَرَحْمَةً أَنَالُ بِهَا شَرَفَ كَرَامَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ،

Waraḥmatan anālu bihā sharafa karāmatika fī al-dunyā wa-al-ākhirati,

and mercy through which I attain the honour of Your favour in this world and the Hereafter.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْفَوْزَ فِي الْعَطَاءِ [وَيُرْوَى: فِي الْقَضَاءِ]،

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka al-fawza fī al-ʿaṭāʾi [wayurwā: fī al-qaḍāʾi],

O Allah, I ask You for success in what You bestow [another narration says: in what You decree],

وَنُزُلَ الشُّهَدَاءِ، وَعَيْشَ السُّعَدَاءِ، وَالنَّصْرَ عَلَى الْأَعْدَاءِ،

Wanuzula al-shuhadāʾi, waʿaysha al-suʿadāʾi, wa-al-naṣra ʿalā al-aʿdāʾi,

the hospitality granted to martyrs, the life of the blessed, and victory over enemies.

إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ،

Innaka samīʿu al-duʿāʾi,

You hear every prayer.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أُنْزِلُ بِكَ حَاجَتِي وَإِنْ قَصُرَ رَأْيِي، وَضَعُفَ عَمَلِي،

Allāhumma innī unzilu bika ḥājatī waʾin qaṣura raʾyī, waḍaʿufa ʿamalī,

O Allah, I lay my need before You, though my understanding is limited and my deeds are weak.

افْتَقَرْتُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ،

Iftaqartu ilā raḥmatika,

I am in need of Your mercy.

فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا قَاضِيَ الْأُمُورِ، وَيَا شَافِيَ الصُّدُورِ،

Faʾasʾaluka yā qāḍiya al-umūri, wayā shāfiya al-ṣudūri,

I ask You, O Decider of all affairs, O Healer of hearts,

كَمَا تُجِيرُ بَيْنَ الْبُحُورِ، أَنْ تُجِيرَنِي مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ،

Kamā tujīru bayna al-buḥūri, an tujīranī min ʿadhābi al-saʿīri,

as You keep the seas apart, to protect me from the punishment of the blazing Fire,

وَمِنْ دَعْوَةِ الثُّبُورِ، وَمِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقُبُورِ،

Wamin daʿwati al-thubūri, wamin fitnati al-qubūri,

from crying out for destruction, and from the trial of the graves.

اللَّٰهُمَّ مَا قَصُرَ عَنْهُ رَأْيِي وَضَعُفَ عَنْهُ عَمَلِي،

Allāhumma mā qaṣura ʿanhu raʾyī waḍaʿufa ʿanhu ʿamalī,

O Allah, whatever lies beyond my understanding and beyond the reach of my deeds,

وَلَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ نِيَّتِي، وَلَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ مَسْأَلَتِي

Walam tablughhu niyyatī, walam tablughhu masʾalatī

whatever my intention has not reached and my requests have not encompassed,

مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَعَدْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

Min khayrin waʿadtahu aḥadan min khalqika

whether good You have promised to any of Your creatures

أَوْ خَيْرٍ أَنْتَ مُعْطِيهِ أَحَدًا مِنْ عِبَادِكَ،

Aw khayrin anta muʿṭīhi aḥadan min ʿibādika,

or good You will bestow upon any of Your servants,

فَإِنِّي أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ وَأَسْأَلُكَهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

Faʾinnī arghabu ilayka fīhi waʾasʾalukahu biraḥmatika rabba al-ʿālamīna.

I long for it from You and ask You for it through Your mercy, Lord of all worlds.

اللَّٰهُمَّ ذَا الْحَبْلِ الشَّدِيدِ، وَالْأَمْرِ الرَّشِيدِ،

Allāhumma dhā al-ḥabli al-shadīdi, wa-al-amri al-rashīdi,

O Allah, Possessor of the unbreakable covenant and the perfectly guided command,

أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمْنَ يَوْمَ الْوَعِيدِ، وَالْجَنَّةَ يَوْمَ الْخُلُودِ،

Asʾaluka al-amna yawma al-waʿīdi, wa-al-jannata yawma al-khulūdi,

I ask You for safety on the Day of warning, and Paradise on the Day of everlasting life,

مَعَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ الشُّهُودِ، الرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ، الْمُوفِينَ بِالْعُهُودِ،

Maʿa al-muqarrabīna al-shuhūdi, al-rukkaʿi al-sujūdi, al-mūfīna bi-al-ʿuhūdi,

with those brought near who bear witness, who bow and prostrate, and who fulfil their covenants.

أَنْتَ رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ، وَإِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تُرِيدُ،

Anta raḥīmun wadūdun, waʾinnaka tafʿalu mā turīdu,

You are merciful and loving, and You do whatever You will.

اللَّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا هَادِينَ مُهْتَدِينَ، غَيْرَ ضَالِّينَ وَلَا مُضِلِّينَ،

Allāhumma ijʿalnā hādīna muhtadīna, ghayra ḍāllīna walā muḍillīna,

O Allah, make us guides who are rightly guided, neither astray nor leading others astray,

سِلْمًا لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ، وَحَرْبًا لِأَعْدَائِكَ،

Silman liʾawliyāʾika, waḥarban liʾaʿdāʾika,

at peace with Your friends and at war with Your enemies.

نُحِبُّ بِحُبِّكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ، وَنُعَادِي بِعَدَاوَتِكَ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ،

Nuḥibbu biḥubbika man aḥabbaka, wanuʿādī biʿadāwatika man khālafaka,

Through love of You, we love those who love You; through opposition to Your enemies, we oppose those who defy You.

اللَّٰهُمَّ هَٰذَا الدُّعَاءُ وَعَلَيْكَ الِاسْتِجَابَةُ،

Allāhumma hādhā al-duʿāʾu waʿalayka al-istijābatu,

O Allah, this is our prayer; its answer rests with You.

وَهَٰذَا الْجُهْدُ وَعَلَيْكَ التُّكْلَانُ.

Wahādhā al-juhdu waʿalayka al-tuklānu.

This is our effort; in You we place our trust.

اللَّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا فِي قَبْرِي، وَنُورًا فِي قَلْبِي،

Allāhumma ijʿal lī nūran fī qabrī, wanūran fī qalbī,

O Allah, place light in my grave and light in my heart,

وَنُورًا مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ، وَنُورًا مِنْ خَلْفِي،

Wanūran min bayni yadayya, wanūran min khalfī,

light before me and light behind me,

وَنُورًا عَنْ يَمِينِي، وَنُورًا عَنْ شِمَالِي،

Wanūran ʿan yamīnī, wanūran ʿan shimālī,

light on my right and light on my left,

وَنُورًا مِنْ فَوْقِي، وَنُورًا مِنْ تَحْتِي،

Wanūran min fawqī, wanūran min taḥtī,

light above me and light beneath me,

وَنُورًا فِي سَمْعِي، وَنُورًا فِي بَصَرِي،

Wanūran fī samʿī, wanūran fī baṣarī,

light in my hearing and light in my sight,

وَنُورًا فِي دَمِي، وَنُورًا فِي عِظَامِي،

Wanūran fī damī, wanūran fī ʿiẓāmī,

light in my blood and light in my bones.

اللَّٰهُمَّ أَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا، وَأَعْطِنِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا،

Allāhumma aʿẓim lī nūran, waʾaʿṭinī nūran, wajʿal lī nūran,

O Allah, increase my light greatly, give me light, and appoint light for me.

وَزِدْنِي نُورًا، وَزِدْنِي نُورًا، وَزِدْنِي نُورًا،

Wazidnī nūran, wazidnī nūran, wazidnī nūran,

Increase me in light, increase me in light, increase me in light.

اللَّٰهُمَّ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ،

Allāhumma lā takilnī ilā nafsī ṭarfata ʿaynin,

O Allah, do not leave me to myself even for the blink of an eye,

وَلَا تَنْزِعْ مِنِّي صَالِحَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي.

Walā tanziʿ minnī ṣāliḥa mā aʿṭaytanī.

and do not take away the good You have given me.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ بِإِلَٰهٍ اسْتَحْدَثْنَاهُ،

Allāhumma innaka lasta biʾilāhin istaḥdathnāhu,

O Allah, You are not a god we have newly fashioned,

وَلَا بِرَبٍّ يَبِيدُ ذِكْرُهُ ابْتَدَعْنَاهُ،

Walā birabbin yabīdu dhikruhu ibtadaʿnāhu,

nor an invented lord whose remembrance passes away.

وَلَا عَلَيْكَ شُرَكَاءُ يَقْضُونَ مَعَكَ،

Walā ʿalayka shurakāʾu yaqḍūna maʿaka,

You have no partners imposed upon You who decree alongside You.

Walā aʿānaka ʿalā khalqinā aḥadun fanushrikahu fīka,

No one helped You create us, that we might associate that one with You.

تَبَارَكْتَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ، فَنَسْأَلُكَ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ اغْفِرْ لِي.

Tabārakta wataʿālayta, fanasʾaluka lā ilāha illā anta ighfir lī.

Blessed and exalted are You. We ask You—there is no god but You—forgive me.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي، وَتَرَى مَكَانِي،

Allāhumma innaka tasmaʿu kalāmī, watarā makānī,

O Allah, You hear my words and see where I am.

وَتَعْلَمُ سِرِّي وَعَلَانِيَتِي، وَلَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِي،

Wataʿlamu sirrī waʿalāniyatī, walā yakhfā ʿalayka shayʾun min amrī,

You know what I hide and what I reveal; nothing about me is hidden from You.

وَأَنَا الْبَائِسُ الْفَقِيرُ، الْمُسْتَغِيثُ الْمُسْتَجِيرُ،

Waʾanā al-bāʾisu al-faqīru, al-mustaghīthu al-mustajīru,

I am distressed and needy, crying for help and seeking protection,

الْوَجِلُ الْمُشْفِقُ، الْمُقِرُّ الْمُعْتَرِفُ بِذَنْبِي،

Al-wajilu al-mushfiqu, al-muqirru al-muʿtarifu bidhanbī,

fearful and apprehensive, acknowledging and confessing my sin.

أَسْأَلُكَ مَسْأَلَةَ الْمِسْكِينِ،

Asʾaluka masʾalata al-miskīni,

I ask You as a poor person asks,

وَأَبْتَهِلُ إِلَيْكَ ابْتِهَالَ الْمُذْنِبِ الذَّلِيلِ،

Waʾabtahilu ilayka ibtihāla al-mudhnibi al-dhalīli,

and plead with You as a humbled sinner pleads.

وَأَدْعُوكَ دُعَاءَ الْخَائِفِ الضَّرِيرِ،

Waʾadʿūka duʿāʾa al-khāʾifi al-ḍarīri,

I call upon You as one who is afraid and afflicted,

وَدُعَاءَ مَنْ خَضَعَتْ لَكَ رَقَبَتُهُ، وَفَاضَتْ لَكَ عَبْرَتُهُ،

Waduʿāʾa man khaḍaʿat laka raqabatuhu, wafāḍat laka ʿabratuhu,

as one whose neck bows before You and whose tears flow for You,

وَذَلَّ لَكَ جِسْمُهُ، وَرَغِمَ لَكَ أَنْفُهُ،

Wadhalla laka jismuhu, waraghima laka anfuhu,

whose body is humbled before You and whose pride is brought low.

اللَّٰهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي بِدُعَائِكَ شَقِيًّا، وَكُنْ بِي رَؤُوفًا رَحِيمًا،

Allāhumma lā tajʿalnī biduʿāʾika shaqiyyan, wakun bī raʾūfan raḥīman,

O Allah, do not let me be disappointed in calling upon You. Be compassionate and merciful towards me,

يَا خَيْرَ الْمَسْؤُولِينَ، وَيَا خَيْرَ الْمُعْطِينَ.

Yā khayra al-masʾūlīna, wayā khayra al-muʿṭīna.

O Best of those asked, O Best of givers.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو ضَعْفَ قُوَّتِي، وَقِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي، وَهَوَانِي عَلَى النَّاسِ،

Allāhumma ilayka ashkū ḍaʿfa quwwatī, waqillata ḥīlatī, wahawānī ʿalā al-nāsi,

O Allah, to You I complain of my weakness, my lack of resources, and my low standing among people.

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ، إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي؟

Yā arḥama al-rāḥimīna, ilā man takilunī?

O Most Merciful of all, to whom will You entrust me?

إِلَى عَدُوٍّ يَتَجَهَّمُنِي؟ أَمْ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مَلَّكْتَهُ أَمْرِي؟

Ilā ʿaduwwin yatajahhamunī? am ilā qarībin mallaktahu amrī?

To an enemy who meets me with hostility, or to someone close whom You have given control over me?

إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ سَاخِطًا عَلَيَّ فَلَا أُبَالِي،

In lam takun sākhiṭan ʿalayya falā ubālī,

If You are not angry with me, I do not mind,

غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَافِيَتَكَ أَوْسَعُ لِي،

Ghayra anna ʿāfiyataka awsaʿu lī,

though the well-being You grant would be easier for me.

أَعُوذُ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِي أَضَاءَتْ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ،

Aʿūdhu binūri wajhika alladhī aḍāʾat lahu al-samāwātu,

I seek refuge in the light of Your Face, through which the heavens shine,

وَأَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ الظُّلُمَاتُ، وَصَلَحَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ،

Waʾashraqat lahu al-ẓulumātu, waṣalaḥa ʿalayhi amru al-dunyā wa-al-ākhirati,

darkness is illuminated, and the affairs of this world and the Hereafter are set right,

أَنْ تُحِلَّ عَلَيَّ غَضَبَكَ، أَوْ تُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ سَخَطَكَ،

An tuḥilla ʿalayya ghaḍabaka, aw tunzila ʿalayya sakhaṭaka,

from Your bringing Your anger upon me or sending down Your displeasure upon me.

وَلَكَ الْعُتْبَى حَتَّى تَرْضَى، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ.

Walaka al-ʿutbā ḥattā tarḍā, walā ḥawla walā quwwata illā bika.

I will seek to make amends until You are pleased. There is no power or strength except through You.

اللَّٰهُمَّ وَاقِيَةً كَوَاقِيَةِ الْوَلِيدِ.

Allāhumma wāqiyatan kawāqiyati al-walīdi.

O Allah, grant me protection like the protection given to a newborn child.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ قُلُوبًا أَوَّاهَةً مُخْبِتَةً مُنِيبَةً فِي سَبِيلِكَ.

Allāhumma innā nasʾaluka qulūban awwāhatan mukhbitatan munībatan fī sabīlika.

O Allah, we ask You for hearts that sigh in prayer, are humble, and turn back to You along Your path.

Allāhumma innī asʾaluka īmānan yubāshiru qalbī, wayaqīnan ṣādiqan

O Allah, I ask You for faith that touches my heart and true certainty,

حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُصِيبُنِي إِلَّا مَا كَتَبْتَ لِي،

Ḥattā aʿlama annahu lā yuṣībunī illā mā katabta lī,

so that I know nothing will befall me except what You have written for me,

وَرِضًى مِنَ الْمَعِيشَةِ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي.

Wariḍan mina al-maʿīshati bimā qasamta lī.

and for contentment with the livelihood You have allotted me.

اللَّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَالَّذِي نَقُولُ، وَخَيْرًا مِمَّا نَقُولُ،

Allāhumma laka al-ḥamdu ka-alladhī naqūlu, wakhayran mimmā naqūlu,

O Allah, to You belongs praise as we express it, and better than we can express.

اللَّٰهُمَّ لَكَ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي، وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي،

Allāhumma laka ṣalātī wanusukī, wamaḥyāya wamamātī,

O Allah, my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are for You.

وَإِلَيْكَ مَآلِي، وَلَكَ رَبِّ تُرَاثِي،

Waʾilayka maʾālī, walaka rabbi turāthī,

To You is my final return, and to You, my Lord, belongs all I leave behind.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ،

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi al-qabri,

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from punishment in the grave,

وَوَسْوَسَةِ الصَّدْرِ، وَشَتَاتِ الْأَمْرِ،

Wawaswasati al-ṣadri, washatāti al-amri,

from troubling whispers within and disordered affairs.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَجِيءُ بِهِ الرِّيحُ.

Allāhumma innī aʿūdhu bika min sharri mā tajīʾu bihi al-rīḥu.

O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil brought by the wind.

اللَّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أُعْظِمُ شُكْرَكَ، وَأُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَكَ،

Allāhumma ijʿalnī uʿẓimu shukraka, waʾukthiru dhikraka,

O Allah, make me deeply grateful to You and constant in remembering You,

وَأَتَّبِعُ نَصِيحَتَكَ، وَأَحْفَظُ وَصِيَّتَكَ.

Waʾattabiʿu naṣīḥataka, waʾaḥfaẓu waṣiyyataka.

following Your counsel and preserving Your instruction.

اللَّٰهُمَّ إِنَّ قُلُوبَنَا وَنَوَاصِيَنَا وَجَوَارِحَنَا بِيَدِكَ،

Allāhumma inna qulūbanā wanawāṣiyanā wajawāriḥanā biyadika,

O Allah, our hearts, forelocks and limbs are in Your hand.

لَمْ تُمَلِّكْنَا مِنْهَا شَيْئًا،

Lam tumalliknā minhā shayʾan,

You have not given us independent ownership of any of them.

فَإِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَٰلِكَ بِنَا فَكُنْ أَنْتَ وَلِيَّنَا،

Faʾidhā faʿalta dhālika binā fakun anta waliyyanā,

Arabic source scan

A separate Arabic–English edition is published by the Taʿlīmī Board of Jamiatul Ulama KZN. It is a useful comparison edition; its English translation has not been copied into this document.

Jamiatul Ulama KZN publisher page

Readings preserved from the source

Preface. The scan reads ḥāfil li-l-muhlikāt, literally an expression of fullness concerning the causes of ruin. “Addresses the causes of ruin” gives the contextual sense; the unusual wording has not been silently changed to a conjectural alternative. The nearby fiṭrah radiyyah is rendered “corrupt disposition.”

Saturday. The formula beginning aṣbaḥnā, “we have entered the morning,” later asks about “this night.” Both expressions are retained as printed. The evening wording and its morning counterpart can be compared in Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2723a–b.

Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2723a

Tuesday and Thursday. Mawlā is a relational word with several senses. In the petitions for sufficiency, it is rendered through bonds of loyalty and kinship; it is not understood as asking Allah to become wealthy.

Wednesday. The source’s reference to “the eight names written upon the sun’s rim” is retained. The passage itself does not list those names. No list has been supplied.

Further reading notes

Friday. The sentence beginning ālāʾa Allāhi taṣilu bi-ahlihi asbābuhu is grammatically compressed. Here ālāʾa is read as a fronted object and asbābuhu as the subject: the means of the kindled light bring Allah’s favours to its people. This follows the construction explained by Ibn Abī al-Ḥadīd in his discussion of the prayer.

Ibn Abī al-Ḥadīd on the prayer’s wording

The scan reads ibtighāʾika lahu, retained here and interpreted as “Your choosing him.” Parallel versions read ibtiʿāthika lahu, “Your sending him.” The English at this point is an interpretive reading of the selected scan, not a claim that the two Arabic forms are identical.

The repeated requests for blessings “until none remains” are translated as the source’s expansive devotional language. They have not been shortened or replaced by a different formula.

Terms used in the translation

ʿĀfiyah is rendered “well-being,” encompassing soundness and protection rather than bodily health alone. Taqwā is rendered according to context as reverence for Allah or mindfulness of Him. Ṣalāh upon the Prophet is rendered as blessing, while barakah is expressed as blessing or bounty, raḥmah as mercy, and salām as peace.

Al-Wasīlah is rendered “the supreme station of nearness.” Mawlā when addressed to Allah is rendered as Master or Protector; its human relational sense is distinguished above. Al-rafīq al-aʿlā is retained as “the Highest Companion.” Divine descriptions such as “Your Face” and “Your Throne” follow the Arabic rather than inserting a school-specific paraphrase.

The transliteration reflects this edition’s selected vocalization. The Arabic remains primary where connected recitation, grammatical alternatives or a printed reading require judgement.
