O Allah make me submissive, till I surrender to Thee, make me happy by putting “fear of God” in my heart, Do not make me miserable on account of disobedience unto Thee. Write (prescribe) for me freedom from pain, trouble and anxiety, make ready for me blessings and happiness, so that what is last does not come in advance. Or what is urged to happen quickly is not delayed. Give me contentment and an independent diposition. Make me derive advantage from the power of hearing (listen to and accept advise and obey), And seeing (discernment, intelligence, and perception of truth); And both of them to my inheritors (children) Give me an upper hand over him who intimidates me, and treat me well through Thy might and power;

O Lord, and keep me in that exact state. O Allah! Attend to and take care of me in the frightening hours of the Day of Judgement. Make me leave this world in safe and sound condition, and enter the permanent land of bliss and beauty (Paradise) in peace and tranquility; And join the delightful charming people who have refined manners, intelligent minds and beautiful faces, multiply provisions alloted to me, and to my dependents, also promote welfare of the people and make me sit, through Thy mercy, in the company of Thy upright servants.

O Allah! If penalized (it means) I deserved punishment; if forgiven ( it is because) Thou art (the Most Merciful) Master. How would Thou punish?

O My Master! My heart is full of Thy Love, undoubtedly, and Thy absolute authority, very kindly, take notice of that, and keep us together with people who are given respite. How much less attention they may pay to Thy commands

O Allah! For the sake of Thy pure and pious friends, peace be upon them, make us preserve true traditions of the Holy Prophet (S.A), And come up to the confidence put in us, to keep safe and watch over the “backbone” of Thy religion (adoration and worship of Allah).

O Allah! Truly, we are the worthiest among thy creation, treat us in that context. O Allah! Treat us mercifully.

O Allah! Make my knowledge about thee of the highest quality. Do not let me drown myself in hatred, nor feel resentful; keep me steadfast, within bounds, obedient, enduring.

O Allah forgive me, have mercy on me, make me strive in Thy way honestly, free me from the heat of burning Hell, from being consumed by the blazing fire, make less what I have to pay back, and punishment I deserve, make me be one of the choicest people for all times.

O Allah! Have mercy on me because have not the strength, nor patience to withstand it (punishment), Through Thy mercy, O the Most Merciful.

O Allah send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad.
