اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الْمُبَارَكِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ

“O‟ my God! This is the blessed month of Ramadhan in which You revealed the Qur‟an,

وَ جَعَلْتَهُ‌ هُدىً لِلنَّاسِ وَ بَيِّناتٍ مِنَ الْهُدى‌ وَ الْفُرْقانِ

and established it as a guidance for the mankind, with evident demonstration and clear proofs for guidance and judgment.

‌ قَدْ حَضَرَ فَسَلِّمْنَا فِيهِ وَ سَلِّمْهُ لَنَا وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ

It has begun. Please keep us healthy during it and after it. Please let us be peaceful during it with ease and well-being for me provided by You.

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي فِي شَهْرِي هَذَا وَ تَرْحَمَنِي فِيهِ

O‟ my God! I ask You to forgive me in this month, have Mercy on me during it,

وَ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ تُعْطِيَنِي فِيهِ خَيْرَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

grant me release from the Hell-fire, and grant me the best of what You have granted or would grant to any of Your creatures during it.

وَ خَيْرَ مَا أَنْتَ مُعْطِيهِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ صُمْتُهُ لَكَ مُنْذُ أَسْكَنْتَنِي أَرْضَكَ إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا

Please do not make this the last month of Ramadhan in which I fast for You since You made me reside on the earth until today.

وَ اجْعَلْهُ عَلَيَّ أَتَمَّهُ نِعْمَةً وَ أَعَمَّهُ عَافِيَةً وَ أَوْسَعَهُ رِزْقاً وَ أَجْزَلَهُ وَ أَهْنَئَهُ

Please make it be perfect blessings, best health, most abundant sustenance, and abdundant rewards for me.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ وَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ مُلْكِكَ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ يَوْمِي هَذَا

O‟ my God! I take refuge in You, Your Noble Face, Your Majestic Dominion from You letting the setting of the Sun today,

أَوْ يَنْقَضِيَ بَقِيَّةُ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَوْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ أَوْ يَخْرُجَ هَذَا الشَّهْرُ وَ لَكَ قِبَلِي مَعَهُ تَبِعَةٌ

or let the rest of this day pass, or the dawn of this night come, or let this month end and there remain sins,

أَوْ ذَنْبٌ أَوْ خَطِيئَةٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَابِلَنِي [تُقَايِسَنِي‌] [تُقَاصَّنِي‌] بِذَلِكَ أَوْ تُؤَاخِذَنِي بِهِ أَوْ تَقِفَنِي [تُوقِفَنِي‌] بِهِ مَوْقِفَ خِزْيٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ أَوْ تُعَذِّبَنِي بِهِ يَوْمَ أَلْقَاكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

offenses or wrongdoings that You want to question me about or stop me in the position of humility in this world and the Hereafter, or punish me for it on the Day I meet You. O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. O‟ my God!

I call on You about the troubles which cannot be driven off by anyone but You, about the mercy which does not come except from You, about the anguish which does not go away except by You, about the affection which does not grow unless You let it; and the needs which no one can fulfill but You.

اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ مَا أَرَدْتَنِي بِهِ مِنْ مَسْأَلَتِكَ وَ رَحِمْتَنِي بِهِ مِنْ ذِكْرِكَ فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ سَيِّدِي الْإِجَابَةُ لِي فِيمَا دَعَوْتُكَ وَ النَّجَاةُ لِي فِيمَا قَدْ فَزِعْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ

There is no Change or Power except with You. O‟ He who exists everywhere! Where should I seek You? Once in the fields and another time in the desert?

وَ فِي الْقِفَارِ أُخْرَى لَعَلَّكَ تَسْمَعُ مِنِّي النِّدَاءَ فَقَدْ عَظُمَ جُرْمِي وَ قَلَّ حَيَائِي مَعَ تَقَلْقُلِ قَلْبِي

Perhaps you hear my call! Indeed my crimes are great and my shame is little. My heart is distressed,

وَ بُعْدِ مَطْلَبِي وَ كَثْرَةِ أَهْوَالِي رَبِّ أَيَّ أَهْوَالِي أَتَذَكَّرُ وَ أَيَّهَا أَنْسَى فَلَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِلَّا الْمَوْتُ لَكَفَى فَكَيْفَ

my demands are far and my fears are extensive. O‟ Lord! Which of my fears should I remember, and which one should I forget? It would have been enough if I just feared death.

وَ مَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ أَعْظَمُ وَ أَدْهَى يَا ثَقَلِي وَ دَمَارِي وَ سُوءَ سَلَفِي وَ قِلَّةَ نَظَرِي لِنَفْسِي حَتَّى مَتَى وَ إِلَى مَتَى أَقُولُ لَكَ الْعُتْبَى مَرَّةً بَعْدَ أُخْرَى ثُمَّ لَا تَجِدُ عِنْدِي صِدْقاً وَ لَا وَفَاءً

Then how could it be since there are greater fears after death. Woe be upon the my heavy burden of sins, my destruction, loss and my little attention to myself. How long should I keep repeating, „I return to You‟ but You do not see any honesty and loyalty in me.

أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ الَّذِي كُنْتَ لَهُ أَنِيساً فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ بِحَقِّ الَّذِي [الَّذِينَ‌] لَمْ يَرْضَوْا بِصِيَامِ النَّهَارِ

I ask you for the sake of the one to whom you were a companion in the darkness and for the sake of those [who] were not satisfied with daytime fasting.

وَ بِمُكَابَدَةِ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى مَضَوْا عَلَى الْأَسِنَّةِ قُدُماً فَخَضُبوا اللِّحَاءَ بِالدِّمَاءِ

And as they struggled through the night, they went forward on the teeth and stained the bark with blood.

وَ رَمَّلُوا الْوُجُوهَ بِالثَّرَى إِلَّا عَفَوْتَ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَ وَ أَسَاءَ

And they covered the faces with dust, unless you pardoned those who wronged and wronged.

يَا غَوْثَاهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ هَوًى قَدْ غَلَبَنِي

O relief, O God, O Lord, I seek refuge in You from a desire that has overtaken me

وَ مِنْ عَدُوٍّ قَدِ اسْتَكْلَبَ عَلَيَّ وَ مِنْ دُنْيَا قَدْ تَزَيَّنَتْ لِي

And from an enemy that has oppressed me, and from this world that has been made beautiful for me.

وَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ أَمَارَةٍ بِالسُّوءِ إِلَّا ما رَحِمَ رَبِّي‌ فَإِنْ كُنْتَ سَيِّدِي قَدْ رَحِمْتَ مِثْلِي فَارْحَمْنِي

And there is no soul that inclines to evil except that which my Lord has had mercy on. If you, my master, have shown mercy to someone like me, then have mercy on me.

وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ سَيِّدِي قَدْ قَبِلْتَ مِثْلِي فَاقْبَلْنِي

And if you, my master, have accepted someone like me, then accept me.

يَا مَنْ قَبِلَ السَّحَرَةَ فَاقْبَلْنِي يَا مَنْ يُغَذِّينِي بِالنِّعَمِ صَبَاحاً

O you who accept magicians, accept me, O you who nourish me with blessings in the morning.

وَ مَسَاءً قَدْ تَرَانِي فَرِيداً وَحِيداً شَاخِصاً بَصَرِي مُقَلِّداً عَمَلِي قَدْ تَبَرَّأَ جَمِيعُ الْخَلْقِ مِنِّي نَعَمْ وَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ كَدِّي وَ سَعْيِي إِلَهِي فَمَنْ يَقْبَلُنِي

And in the evening, you may see me alone, alone, observing my sight, imitating my work. All creation has disowned me, yes, and my father and my mother, and whoever has my toil and my effort, my God, who can fear? Color me

وَ مَنْ يَسْمَعُ نِدَائِي وَ مَنْ يُؤْنِسُ وَحْشَتِي وَ مَنْ يُنْطِقُ لِسَانِي إِذَا غُيِّبْتُ فِي الثَّرَى وَحْدِي ثُمَّ سَأَلْتَنِي بِمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي فَإِنْ قُلْتُ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ فَأَيْنَ الْمَهْرَبُ مِنْ عَدْلِكَ وَ إِنْ قُلْتُ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ قُلْتَ أَ لَمْ أَكُنْ أُشَاهِدُكَ وَ أَرَاكَ

And who hears my call, and who comforts my loneliness, and who makes my tongue speak when I am absent in the dust alone, and then you ask me about what you know better than me, then if I say I did it, so where is the escape from your justice? And if I said I did not do it, I said I did not watch you and see you.

يَا اللَّهُ يَا كَرِيمَ الْعَفْوِ مَنْ لِي غَيْرُكَ إِنْ سَأَلْتُ غَيْرَكَ لَمْ يُعْطِنِي وَ إِنْ دَعَوْتُ غَيْرَكَ لَمْ يُجِبْنِي رِضَاكَ

O God, O Most Merciful of Pardon, who is there for me but You? If I ask someone else, He will not give me, and if I pray to someone else, He will not grant me Your satisfaction.

يَا رَبِّ قَبْلَ لِقَائِكَ رِضَاكَ يَا رَبِّ قَبْلَ نُزُولِ النِّيرَانِ رِضَاكَ

O Lord, before meeting You, Your satisfaction. O Lord, before the descent of the fires, Your satisfaction.

يَا رَبِّ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُغَلَّ الْأَيْدِي إِلَى الْأَعْنَاقِ رِضَاكَ

O Lord, before the hands are chained to the necks, seek Your pleasure.

يَا رَبِّ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُنَادِيَ فَلَا أُجَابَ النِّدَاءَ يَا أَحَقَّ مَنْ تَجَاوَزَ وَ عَفَى وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَا أَقْطَعُ مِنْكَ الرَّجَاءَ

O Lord, before I call, but I do not answer the call, O Most worthy of the one who transcends and pardons, and by Your glory, I do not cut off my hope from You.

وَ إِنْ عَظُمَ جُرْمِي وَ قَلَّ حَيَائِي فَقَدْ لَزِقَ بِالْقَلْبِ دَاءٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ دَوَاءٌ

And if my crime is great and my modesty is small, then a disease has stuck to the heart that has no cure.

يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلُذِ اللَّائِذُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَعَرَّضِ الْمُتَعَرِّضُونَ‌ لِأَكْرَمَ مِنْهُ

O He, who did not find pleasure in those like him, O He, who did not expose those who oppose him to anyone more generous than him.

[وَ] يَا مَنْ لَمْ تُشَدَّ الرِّحَالُ إِلَى مِثْلِهِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

[And] O one like whom no mount has been drawn, bless Muhammad (PBUH) and the family of Muhammad.

وَ اشْغَلْ قَلْبِي بِعَظِيمِ شَأْنِكَ وَ أَرْسِلْ مَحَبَّتَكَ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَلْقَاكَ وَ أَوْدَاجِي تَشْخُبُ دَماً يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَجْوَدَ الْمُنْعِمِينَ الْمُتَكَبِّرَ الْمُتَعَالِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

And occupy my heart with your great affairs and send your love to it until I meet you while my veins are brimming with blood, O One, O Most Benevolent, Arrogant, and Sublime. May God bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad

وَ افْكُكْ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

And free my neck from the fire with your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

إِلَهِي قَلَّ شُكْرِي سَيِّدِي فَلَمْ تَحْرِمْنِي وَ عَظُمَتْ خَطِيئَتِي سَيِّدِي فَلَمْ تَفْضَحْنِي وَ رَأَيْتَنِي عَلَى الْمَعَاصِي سَيِّدِي فَلَمْ تَمْنَعْنِي

O My God, my gratitude is small, my Lord, so you did not deprive me, and my sin is great, my Lord, so you did not disgrace me, and you saw me in sins, my Lord, and you did not prevent me.

وَ لَمْ تَهْتِكْ سِتْرِي وَ أَمَرْتَنِي سَيِّدِي بِالطَّاعَةِ فَضَيَّعْتُ مَا بِهِ أَمَرْتَنِي فَأَيُّ فَقِيرٍ أَفْقَرُ مِنِّي سَيِّدِي إِنْ لَمْ تُغْنِنِي فَأَيُّ شَقِيٍّ أَشْقَى مِنِّي إِنْ لَمْ تَرْحَمْنِي فَنِعْمَ الرَّبُّ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ نِعْمَ الْمَوْلَى وَ بِئْسَ الْعَبْد

And you did not tear my veil, and my master commanded me to obey, and I neglected what you commanded me to do. So, what poor person is poorer than me, my master? If you do not enrich me, then what wretched person is more miserable than me? If you do not have mercy on me, then you are a good Lord, my lord, and a good Lord, and wretched is the servant.

ُ أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي وَجَدْتَنِي أَيْ رَبَّاهْ هَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مُعْتَرِفٌ بِذُنُوبِي مُقِرٌّ بِالْإِسَاءَةِ وَ الظُّلْمِ عَلَى نَفْسِي مَنْ أَنَا يَا رَبِّ فَتَقْصِدَ لِعَذَابِي أَمْ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ فِي مَسْأَلَتِكَ إِنْ أَنْتَ رَحِمْتَنِي

Oh Lord, you have found me. Here I am in your hands, confessing my sins, acknowledging the offense and injustice done to myself. Who am I, Lord, so you mean to My punishment or the one who enters into your question, if you have mercy on me?

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَا أَسُدُّ بِهِ لِسَانِي وَ أُحْصِنُ بِهِ فَرْجِي وَ أُؤَدِّي بِهِ عَنِّي أَمَانَتِي وَ أَصِلُ بِهِ رَحِمِي وَ أَتَّجِرُ بِهِ لآِخِرَتِي

Oh God, I ask you from this world what I have been brought up with for my tongue, and I will protect him with my wife, and I will lead him with my faith in me, and I will be blessed with me and I have a good with him.

وَ يَكُونُ لِي عَوْناً عَلَى الْحَجِّ وَ الْعُمْرَةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ لَأُلِحَّنَّ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَأَطْلُبَنَّ إِلَيْكَ وَ لَأَتَضَرَّعَنَّ إِلَيْكَ وَ لَأَبْسُطَنَّهَا إِلَيْكَ مَعَ مَا اقْتَرَفْنَا مِنَ الْآثَامِ

And he will be a help to me in Hajj and Umrah, for there is no power nor strength except through You and Your glory, O Generous One. I will yearn for You and seek You. We have made supplication to you, and I will extend it to you despite the sins we have committed.

يَا سَيِّدِي فَبِمَنْ أَعُوذُ وَ بِمَنْ أَلُوذُ كُلُّ مَنْ أَتَيْتُهُ فِي حَاجَةٍ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ فَائِدَةً فَإِلَيْكَ يُرْشِدُنِي وَ عَلَيْكَ يَدُلُّنِي وَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ يُرَغِّبُنِي

O my Lord, in whom do I seek refuge and in whom do I seek refuge? Everyone I come to in need and ask for a benefit, to You he guides me and to You he directs me.And whatever You have that pleases me,

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحُجَّةِ الْقَائِمِ بِالْحَقِّ صَلَوَاتُكَ يَا رَبِّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

I ask You by the right of Muhammad and Ali and Fatima and Al-Hasan and Al-Hussein and Ali bin Al-Hussein and Muhammad bin Ali and Jafar bin Muhammad and Musa bin Jafar, Ali bin Musa, Muhammad bin Ali, Ali bin Muhammad, Al-Hasan bin Ali, and Al-Hujjah Al-Qaim Truly, may your prayers, O Lord, peace be upon them all.

وَ بِالشَّأْنِ الَّذِي لَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ شَأْناً مِنَ الشَّأْنِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا

And as for the matter that they have with You, they have with You a matter such as: that You send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and that you should do such-and-such to me

and ask Your needs for this world and the hereafter will be fulfilled, God willing, then you say

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ مُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ الزَّبُورِ وَ الْفُرْقَانِ الْعَظِيمِ

O my God! Lord of all things! The Revelaer of the Torah, the Bible, the Psalms, and the Grand Criterion1

فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوَى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ‌ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ وَ أَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ وَ أَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْ‌ءٌ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ

The One who splits grains and seeds! I take refuge in You from the evils of all animals that You have control over. You are the First and there has been nothing before You. And You are the Last and there shall be nothing after You. And You are Apparent and there is nothing below You. Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as).

وَ اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ وَ أَغْنِنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ عُبِدَ وَ يَا أَشْكَرَ مَنْ حُمِدَ وَ يَا أَحْلَمَ مَنْ قَهَرَ وَ يَا أَكْرَمَ مَنْ قَدَرَ وَ يَا أَسْمَعَ مَنْ نُودِيَ

Please pay back my debts and remove my poverty. O‟ the best to worship and the most grateful to praise! O‟ the most Forbearing who subdues! O‟ the Most Benevolent who destines! O‟ the most Hearing who is called!

وَ يَا أَقْرَبَ مَنْ نُوجِيَ وَ يَا آمَنَ مَنِ اسْتُجِيرَ وَ يَا أَرْأَفَ مَنِ اسْتُغِيثَ وَ يَا أَكْرَمَ مَنْ سُئِلَ وَ يَا أَجْوَدَ مَنْ أَعْطَى وَ يَا أَرْحَمَ مَنِ اسْتُرْحِمَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْحَمْ قِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِالْجَنَّةِ طَوْلًا مِنْكَ وَ فُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ تَفَضُّلًا

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَطَعْتُكَ فِي أَحَبِّ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُوَ التَّوْحِيدُ وَ لَمْ أَعْصِكَ فِي أَكْرَهِ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُوَ الشِّرْكُ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اكْفِنِي أَمْرَ عَدُوِّي

O my God! I obeyed You with the most beloved form that is adherence to belief in monotheism. And I did not disobey you in its most heinous form that is belief in polytheism. Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as) and support me against my enemies.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ لَكَ عَدُوّاً لَا يَأْلُونِي خَبَالًا بَصِيراً بِعُيُوبِي حَرِيصاً عَلَى غَوَايَتِي يَرَانِي هُوَ وَ قُبَيْلُهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَرَاهُمْ

O my God! There is an enemy of Yours that does not stop at any deviation. He is aware of my faults and is eager to deviate me. He and his tribe see me while I cannot see them.

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعِذْ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِينِ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ أَنْفُسَنَا وَ أَمْوَالَنَا وَ أَهَالِيَنَا وَ أَوْلَادَنَا وَ مَا أُغْلِقَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَبْوَابُنَا وَ مَا أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ عَوْرَاتُنَا

O my God! Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as). Please protect us, our wealth, our wives and children, and what we lock inside our house and what we protect as our honor from the evils of the satans, the genies and the people.

اللَّهُمَّ وَ حَرِّمْنِي عَلَيْهِ كَمَا حَرَّمْتَ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ أَبْعَدَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ

Please forbid me for Satan as You forbade Paradise for him. Please make a distance between me and Satan as You made a distance between the heavens and the earth even farther.

Please do such and such a thing for me. Ask for the fulfillment of your needs until God the Sublime fulfills them
Then say:
Arabic? “O my God! You are praised whether You take me into Paradise or punish me. O‟ He who is Praised from all aspects! Please bestow your blessings on Muhammad and His Progeny (as) and treat me as You please! And You are Praised!

وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْضَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ تَقُولُ

And if you do such-and-such to me and ask your need, it will be fulfilled, God willing, and then you say

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ أَدْخَلْتَنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَأَنْتَ مَحْمُودٌ وَ إِنْ عَذَّبْتَنِي فَأَنْتَ مَحْمُودٌ يَا مَنْ هُوَ مَحْمُودٌ فِي كُلِّ خِصَالِهِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي مَا تَشَاءُ فَأَنْتَ [وَ أَنْتَ‌] مَحْمُودٌ

O God, if You admit me to Paradise, You are praiseworthy, and if You punish me, You are praiseworthy, O He who is praiseworthy in all his qualities, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and grant me success. Do whatever you want for me, for you are [and you are] praiseworthy.

إِلَهِي أَ تُرَاكَ مُعَذِّبِي وَ قَدْ عَفَّرْتُ لَكَ فِي التُّرَابِ خَدِّي أَ تُرَاكَ مُعَذِّبِي وَ حُبُّكَ فِي قَلْبِي أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ بِي جَمَعْتَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ طَالَ مَا عَادَيْتُهُمْ فِيكَ

O My God, do You see me as my tormentor, when I have covered my cheeks for you in the dust? do you see me as my tormentor, with your love in my heart? But if you did that to me, you would bring me together with a people who have been around for a long time. I fulfilled them in you

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ يَحِقُّ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ الْإِجَابَةُ لِلدُّعَاءِ إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ

Oh God, I ask you by every name that is yours by which you are entitled to answer the supplication if you are called by it.

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ كُلِّ ذِي حَقٍّ عَلَيْكَ وَ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَنْ هُوَ دُونَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي أَوْ أَرَادَ أَحَداً مِنْ إِخْوَانِي بِسُوءٍ فَخُذْ بِسَمْعِهِ وَ بَصَرِهِ وَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ امْنَعْنِي مِنْهُ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ

And I ask You, by the right of everyone who has a right over you, and by your right over everyone who is below you, to bless Muhammad, your servant and your messenger, and his pure family, and whoever desires me. If he intends harm against one of my brothers, then seize him by his hearing and his sight and in front of him and behind him, and protect me from him with your power and strength.

اللَّهُمَّ مَا غَابَ عَنِّي مِنْ أَمْرِي أَوْ حَضَرَنِي وَ لَمْ يَنْطِقْ بِهِ لِسَانِي

O God, whatever matter has escaped me or is present to me and my tongue has not spoken it.

وَ لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ مَسْأَلَتِي أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَصْلِحْهُ لِي وَ سَهِّلْهُ

And my question did not reach him, you know it better than me, so bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and correct it for me and make it easy for me.

يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ‌ رَبَّنا لا تُؤاخِذْنا إِنْ نَسِينا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنا رَبَّنا وَ لا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنا إِصْراً كَما حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنا رَبَّنا وَ لا تُحَمِّلْنا ما لا طاقَةَ لَنا بِهِ وَ اعْفُ عَنَّا

O Lord of the worlds, our Lord, do not hold us accountable if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord, and do not place upon us a burden as You placed upon those before us. Our Lord, and do not impose upon us that which we cannot bear. We have it and pardon us

وَ اغْفِرْ لَنا وَ ارْحَمْنا أَنْتَ مَوْلانا فَانْصُرْنا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكافِرِينَ‌ مَا ذَا عَلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ لَوْ أَرْضَيْتَ عَنِّي كُلَّ مَنْ لَهُ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ وَ أَدْخَلْتَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ غَفَرْتَ لِي ذُنُوبِي فَإِنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ لِلْخَاطِئِينَ وَ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ فَاغْفِرْ لِي خَطَائِي يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ‌

And forgive us and have mercy on us, You are our Lord, so give us victory over the disbelieving people. What would be the matter with you, O Lord, if You were to be satisfied with me, and enter Grant me Paradise with your mercy and forgive me my sins, for your forgiveness is for sinners and I am one of them, so forgive me my sins, O Lord of the worlds.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَحْلُمُ عَنِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَ تَعْفُو عَنِ الْخَاطِئِينَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ الْخَاطِئُ الْمُذْنِبُ الْحَسِيرُ الشَّقِيُّ الَّذِي قَدْ أَفْزَعَتْنِي ذُنُوبِي

Oh God, you forgive sinners and pardon sinners, and I am your sinful, sinful, miserable, wretched servant, whose sins have frightened me.

وَ أَوْثَقَتْنِي [أَوْبَقَتْنِي‌] خَطَايَايَ وَ لَمْ أَجِدْ لَهُمَا سَادّاً وَ لَا غَافِراً غَيْرَكَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ

And You made me afflicted with my sins, and I found no protector or forgiver of them except You, O Possessor of Majesty and Honour.

إِلَهِي اسْتَعْبَدَتْنِي الدُّنْيَا وَ اسْتَخْدَمَتْنِي فَصِرْتُ حَيْرَانَ بَيْنَ أَطْبَاقِهَا فَيَا مَنْ أَحْصَى الْقَلِيلَ فَشَكَرَهُ

My God, the world has enslaved me and used me, so I became confused among its dishes. Oh, who counted a little and thanked it.

O‟ Lord! I know of no more generous master than You so patient with dissatisfied servants like me.

O my God! Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as) and wipe out our sins by Mercy and turn our sins to repentance.

O my God! Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as) and change my opinion of You into a good one and make it realized. Please combine my deeds with insight and bless me with Your Pardon as much as I desire, and do not punish me for my wrongdoings since that will destroy me.
Indeed Your Kindness is beyond punishing one who has sinned, failed and been enmious - but has taken refuge in Your Nobility, fled from You to You, hoping in Your Promise to forgive those who possess a good opinion of You.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ الْجِلْدُ بَارِدٌ [بَارِكٌ‌] وَ النَّفَسُ دَائِرٌ وَ اللِّسَانُ مُنْطَلِقٌ وَ الصُّحُفُ مُنَشَّرَةٌ وَ الْأَقْلَامُ جَارِيَةٌ وَ التَّوْبَةُ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَ التَّضَرُّعُ مَرْجُوٌّ قَبْلَ أَنْ لَا أَقْدِرَ عَلَى اسْتِغْفَارِكَ حِينَ يَفْنَى الْأَجَلُ وَ يَنْقَطِعُ الْعَمَلُ

O my God! Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as) and forgive me while my skin is fresh and I breathe, I speak, my Book of Deeds is open, the pens are recording, repentance is accepted, there is hope in crying, before I no longer can ask You for forgiveness when my life ends and my deeds terminate.

O my God! Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (as). Take care of our affairs and do not trust us to others. I ask God for forgiveness so much that no one but He can measure, and no one but Him can look at its end, understand what is beyond it and what is meant by it.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا وَعَدْتُكَ مِنْ نَفْسِي ثُمَّ أَخْلَفْتُكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فِيهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَرَدْتُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ ثُمَّ خَالَطَنِي فِيهِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ ثُمَّ قَوِيتُ بِهَا عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ

O my God! I ask You to forgive me for all the promises I made but then I broke them. I ask You to forgive what I repented to You and then returned to. I ask You to forgive all the good deeds that I decided to do for Your Sake but then my intentions were mixed with things other than You. I ask You to forgive me for all the blessings that You bestowed me but I used them to insist on doing acts of Your Disobedience.”.
