PRAYERS OF THE FINAL PROPHET (SAAWW)

43. HIS DUA FOR MEMORIZING THE NOBLE QUR’AN

83. In Qurb al-Isn¡d: From Mas`adah ibn Sadaqah: I was told by Ja~far from his fathers G that the following was one of the supplications of the Noble Prophet XE "Holy Prophet"  9:

أَللّٰهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ مَعَاصِيكَ مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَأَلْزِمْ قَلْبِي حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي، وَاجْعَلْنِي أَتْلُوهُ عَلـى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي. أَللّٰهُمَّ نَوِّرْ بِكِتَابِكَ بَصَرِي، وَاشْرَحْ بِهِ صَدْرِي، وَفَرِّحْ بِهِ قَلْبِي، وَأَطْلِقْ بِهِ لِسَانِي، وَاسْتَعْمِلْ بِهِ بَدَنِي، وَقَوِّنِي عَلـى ذٰلِكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِكَ.

O All¡h XE "All¡h" ! Bless me with the ability to keep away from Your disobedience for the rest of my life; and grant me the ability to see the good in what pleases You, and make my heart memorize Your book as You have taught me; and enable me to recite it in the way that pleases You. O All¡h! Illuminate my sight by You book, and expand by it my chest, and gratify by it my heart, and make eloquent my speech by it, and make my body work by itو and strengthen me in this for surely there is no might and no power but (by) You.[i]
