O God, I adjure You by the right of the Arsh and the one, who raised it, and by the right of revelation and by one, who sent; and by the right of the Prophet and one, who made him a prophet; and by the right of Kaaba and one, who made it.

O one, who gave relief to Yunus from the darknesses. O the doer of every good. O the guide to every good. O one, who shows the way to every good. O, one who commands every good. O creator of every good. O owner of all the good. You are that Allah, towards whom I have turned in the issues that You know well. As You are the knower of all the unseen. I beseech You to send mercy on Muhammad and progeny of Muhammad…
