اصْبَحْتُ فِي ذِمَّةِ ٱللَّهِ

I begin this morning seeking the protection of Allah,

وَذِمَّةِ مَلاَئِكَتِهِ

wa dhimmati mal�'ikatih�

the protection of His angels,

وَذِمَمِ انْبِيَائِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ عَلَيهِمُ ٱلسَّلاَمُ

wa dhimami anbiy�'ih� wa rusulih� `alayhimu alssal�mu

the protections of His prophets and messengers, peace be upon them,

wa dhimami al-aw�iy�'i min �li mu�ammadin `alayhimu alssal�mu

and the protections of the Successors from Mu�ammad�s progeny, peace be upon them.

آمَنْتُ بِسِرِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّلاَمُ وَعَلاَنِيَتِهِمْ

�mantu bisirri �li mu�ammadin `alayhimu alssal�mu wa `al�niyatihim

I believe in the secrets of Mu�ammad�s progeny, peace be upon them, and in their open affairs

وَظَاهِرِهِمْ وَبَاطِنِهِمْ

wa ��hirihim wa b��inihim

and in their exoteric and their esoteric affairs.

وَاشْهَدُ انَّهُمْ فِي عِلْمِ ٱللَّهِ وَطَاعَتِهِ

wa ash-hadu annahum f� `ilmi all�hi wa ��`atih�

I bear witness that they, as regarding their knowledge of Allah and their obedience to Him,

كَمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ

ka-mu�ammadin �all� all�hu `alayhi wa �lih�

are just like Mu�ammad, peace be upon him and his Household.

اَللَّهُمَّ مَا قُلْتُ فِي جُمُعَتِي هٰذِهِ مِنْ قَوْلٍ

all�humma m� qultu f� jumu`at� h�dhih� min qawlin

O Allah, whatever saying I have uttered this week,

اوْ حَلَفْتُ فِيهَا مِنْ حَلْفٍ

aw �alaftu f�h� min �alfin

whatever oath I have taken during it,

اوْ نَذَرْتُ فِيهَا مِنْ نَذْرٍ

aw nadhartu f�h� min nadhrin

and whatever vow I have made during it,

فَمَشِيَّتُكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ ذٰلِكَ  كُلِّهِ

famashiyyatuka bayna yaday dh�lika kullih�

verily, it is Your will that is before all that.

فَمَا شِئْتَ مِنْهُ انْ يَكُونَ كَانَ

fam� shi'ta minhu an yak�na k�na

Hence, only that which You will to have effect will come to pass

وَمَا لَمْ تَشَا مِنْهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ

wa m� lam tasha' minhu lam yakun

and whatever You do not will to have effect will never come to pass.

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱغْفِرْ لِي وَتَجَاوَزْ عَنِّي

all�humma ighfir l� wa taj�waz `ann�

O Allah, (please) forgive me and overlook my offenses.

اَللَّهُمَّ مَنْ صَلَّيْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَصَلاَتِي عَلَيْهِ

O Allah, whosoever You bless, then I invoke Your blessings upon him

وَمَنْ لَعَنْتَ فَلَعْنَتِي عَلَيْهِ

wa man la`anta fala`nat� `alayhi

and whosoever You curse, then I invoke Your curse upon him.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي تَعَمَّدْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي

all�humma inn� ta`ammadtu ilayka bi��jat�

O Allah, I am resorting to You with my needs,

وَ انْزَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ فَقْرِي

wa anzaltu ilayka alyawma faqr�

and I am putting in Your presence my poverty,

وَفَاقَتِي وَمَسْكَنَتِي

wa f�qat� wa maskanat�

my indigence, and my deprivation.

فَانَا لِمَغْفِرَتِكَ ارْجىٰ مِنِّي لِعَمَلِي

fa-an� limaghfiratika arj� minn� li`amal�

Verily, I hope for Your forgiveness more than I rely on my deeds.

وَلَمَغْفِرَتُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ اوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي

wa lamaghfiratuka wa ra�matuka awsa`u min dhun�b�

Indeed, Your forgiveness and Your mercy are more inclusive than my sins are.

فَتَوَلَّ قَضَاءَ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ لِي بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَيْهَا

fatawalla qa��'a kulli ��jatin l� biqudratika `alayh�

So, (please) embark on settling all my needs out of Your power over them,

وَتَيسِيرِ ذٰلِكَ عَلَيْكَ

wa tays�ri dh�lika `alayka

out of the easiness for You to do that,

وَلِفَقْرِي إِلَيْكَ

wa lifaqr� ilayka

and out of my urgent need for that.

فَإنِّي لَمْ اصِبْ خَيْراً قَطُّ إِلاَّ مِنَكَ

fa'inn� lam u�ib khayran qa��u ill� minka

Verily, I have not gained any good thing save from You

وَلَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنِّي سُوءاً قَطُّ احَدٌ سِوَاكَ

wa lam ya�rif `ann� s�'an qa��u a�adun siw�ka

and none could ever repel evil from me save You.

وَلَسْتُ ارْجُو لآِخِرَتِي وَدُنْيَايَ

wa lastu arj� li-�khirat� wa duny�ya wa

I hope for none to stand for me in my affairs of this world and the Next World

وَلاَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِي

l� liyawmi faqr�

and on the day of my poverty,

يَوْمَ يُفْرِدُنِي ٱلنَاسُ فِي حُفْرَتِي

yawma yufridun� alnn�su f� �ufrat�

when people will leave me alone in my hole (i.e. grave)

وَافْضي إِلَيْكَ بِذَنْبِي سِوَاكَ

wa uf�� ilayka bidhanb� siw�ka

and I will then confess of my sins before You, except You.
