MY MIDNIGHT TALK WITH ALLAH O Allah Creator of Heavens and Earth! I seek Your Refuge from the Accursed Satan! Allah! In the hours of darkness while most of fellow beings are slumbering, with Your Blessing and Mercy I found this apposite moment, in Your Name O Allah! The Most Benevolent and Most Merciful, to light a candle of Your Veneration to eradicate the darkness of my soul and make supplication before You. O Knower of the Secrets! I affirm that You are aware of the secrets suppressed deep in my heart and You know me in and out, there is nothing concealed from You. I am in my solitude with my soul cloaked in a gloom, attributable to my slackness to reach out to You instead of viciously tracking my pursuits in life. With a belief and trust, that You listen to every Suppliant of Yours, I endeavour to talk to You in the quiet of night. O Creator of Heavens and Earth I read Your Book, full of wisdom and knowledge, and acquired acuity to whimper a bit before You, abandoning all my thoughts and qualms. Allah! Accept my gratitude and praises in Your Honour and Peace and Salutations for Your Apostle up to the extents of the universe or more than that. Despite my worthlessness in comprehension of Your Magnificence, I yearn for praising You but I know it is not achievable for me to say something befitting Your Majesty. To You belong all things in Heavens and Earth: verily you are free of all wants worthy of all praise. And if all the trees on Earth were pens and the Ocean, were ink, with seven Oceans behind it to add to its supply yet Your Words would not be exhausted, in the writing: for You are Exalted in power Full of Wisdom. Glory to You, the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth the Lord of the Throne of Authority! Free from any blemish. Accept Your Praises, from me, befitting Your Majesty. Allah! There is no god but You. To You be praise at the first and at the last: for You is the Command and to You shall we all be brought back. O My Lord! Advance me in knowledge, bestow wisdom on me and join me with the righteous. O My Lord! Expand me my breast; Ease my task for me; and remove the impediment from my speech. So that people may understand what I say. O Allah! No eye has the power to see You, no genius or intellect can ever comprehend Your Authority. You are as Great as You Yourself told, You are One and Only, the Eternal Absolute, You do not beget nor You are begotten and there is none like You. Allah! There is no god but You the living the Self-Subsisting Eternal. No slumber can seize You nor sleep. Yours are All Things in the Heavens and on Earth. Who is there who can intercede in Your Presence except as You permit? You know what appears, to Your Creatures as, before or after or behind them. Nor shall they compass aught of Your Knowledge except as You will. Your Throne does extend over the Heavens and the Earth and You feel no fatigue in guarding and preserving them.

3 For You are the Most High the Supreme in glory. You created the Heavens and the Earth in six Days and firmly established Your Throne of Authority. You know what enters within the Earth and what comes forth out of it what comes down from Heaven and what mounts up to it. And You are with us where so ever we may be. And You observe exactly, all that we do. And all affairs are referred back to You. And You have absolute knowledge of the secrets of all hearts. O Our Lord You send the winds as heralds of glad tidings going before Your Mercy and You send down purifying water from the sky and with it You give life to a dead land and slake the thirst of living beings that You have created in great numbers. Our Lord! You are the Lord of the Heavens and the Earth: never shall we call upon any god other than You: if we did; we should indeed have uttered an enormity! We serve You with sincere devotion; And want to be the first of those who bow to You in submission. Our Lord! We believe in what You have revealed and we follow the Apostle; write us down among those who bear witness. And we are sincere, in our faith, in You. Allah! There is no god but You the Living the Self-Subsisting Eternal. It is You who sent down the True Book confirming what went before it; and You sent down Law, Of Moses, and the Gospel, of Jesus, before this as a guide to mankind and You sent down the Criterion, of judgment between right and wrong. You are Exalted in Might and Lord of Retribution. Verily from You nothing is hidden on Earth or in the Heavens. You are the one, Who shapes humans in the wombs as You please. There is no god but You the Exalted in Might the Wise. Allah! You Created Heavens and Earth, You made Constellations in the skies and placed therein a Lamp and a Moon giving light; You created the Sun the Moon and the Stars. These all are governed by laws under Your Command. Allah! You are Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds! To You belongs the Command of the entire universe. Allah! If You decide to bless me, no one on Earth or in the Heavens can impede Your Blessings on me and if You decide to stop Your Blessings on me, no one on Earth or in the Heavens can grant me except You. You have power over all things. Allah! If You decide to show me the straight path and keep me thereon, no one on Earth or in the Heavens can lead me astray. And if You decide to let me go astray, due to my maladies, there is no one on Earth or in the Heavens to help me except You. Allah! I believe in You, Your Angels, Your Books, Your Apostles, on good or bad destiny being from You and on resurrection after death. Allah! I believe in You with all Your Beautiful Names and Attributes from the core of my heart and I do proclaim it candidly.

4 Allah! I turn my face in complete devotion to You, Who is the Originator of Heaven and Earth and I am not of the polytheists. Verily my prayer, my sacrifice, my life and my death are for You, the Lord of the Worlds. There is no partner with You; this is what I have been commanded to profess and believe and I am of the believers. O Allah, You are the Ruler, there is no god but You, You are My Lord, and I am Your Bondsman. I wronged myself and make a confession of my sins. Forgive all my sins, for no one forgives the sins but You, and guide me in the best conduct for none but You guide anyone in good conduct. Remove sins from me, for no one else but You can remove sins from me. Here I am at Your Service, and Grace is to You and the whole of good is in Your Hand, and one cannot come close to You through evil. My power as well as existence is due to You and I turn to You for supplication, You are Blessed and You are Exalted. I seek forgiveness from You and turn to You in repentance. O Allah, it is for You that I bow. I affirm my faith in You, I submit to You, and submit humbly before You my hearing, my eyesight, my bones, my sinews. O Allah, Our Lord, praise is due to You, the praise which fills the Heavens and Earth, and which fills that space which exists between them, and fills anything that You desire afterwards. O Allah, it is to You that I prostrate myself, it is in You that I affirm my faith, and I submit to You. My face is submitted before One Who created it, shaped it and opened his faculties of hearing and seeing. Blessed are You, the best of Creators. Forgive me the earlier and later, open and secret sins, and where I have transgressed and that You know better than I. You are the First and the Last. There is no god but You. Allah! There is no other god besides You. You are the sovereign the Holy One the Source of Peace and Perfection. The Guardian of Faith the Preserver of Safety the Exalted in Might the Irresistible the Supreme: Glory to You! High are You above the partners to be associated with You, or sons and daughters be attributed to You. Blessed is the name of Our Lord full of Majesty Bounty and Honour. Allah! We are not amongst those who say: "Allah the Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Indeed, those who say that, they put forth a thing exceedingly horrible! At it the skies are ready to burst the Earth to split asunder and the mountains to fall down in absolute ruin that they invoke a son for Allah, Most Gracious. It is not consonant with Your Majesty, that You should beget a son. To You is due the primal origin of the Heavens and the Earth: You are free from having offspring and consort! You created all things and You have absolute knowledge of everything. We don’t commit excesses by saying "Trinity": for You are One Allah: glory to You! To You belong everything in the Heavens and on Earth. And enough are You as a Disposer of affairs. We celebrate Your Praises standing sitting and lying down and contemplate the wonders of creation in the Heavens and the Earth, with the thought: "Our Lord! not for naught have You created

5 all this! Glory to You! give us salvation from the penalty of the fire. It is You Who has made for us the Earth as a resting place and the Sky as a canopy and has given us shapes and made our shapes beautiful and has provided for us, sustenance of things pure and good such are You! Our Lord! So Glory to You the Lord of the Worlds”. O Allah! Lord of Power and Rule You give Power to whom You please and You strip off power from whom You please You end with honour whom You please and You bring low whom You please; in Your Hand is all good. Verily over all things You have power. You cause the night to gain on the day and You cause the day to gain on the night; You bring the living out of the dead and You bring the dead out of the living; and You give sustenance to whom You please without measure. Whatever is in the Heavens and on Earth does declare Your Praises and Glory! To You belongs Dominance and to You belongs Praise: and You have power over all things. You are the Highest in Might the Wise. To You belongs the Command of the Heavens and the Earth; it is You Who gives life and death; and You have Power over all things. You are the First and the Last the Evident and the Immanent: and You have the knowledge of everything. Allah! You created us from a drop to a seeing, hearing and a feeling human being. Allah You are the best creator. To You belong the invisible secrets of the Heavens and the Earth and to You goes back every affair for decision: we worship You and put our trust in You: and You are not unmindful of aught that we do. It is You who have sent Your Apostle with Guidance and the Religion of Truth to proclaim it over all religions: and enough are You for a Witness. In the days of our ignorance and darkness, Our Lord! We heard the call of Your Apostle, the one calling us to faith, “Believe in the Lord” and we have believed. Our Lord! Forgive us our sins blot out from us our iniquities and take to Yourself our souls in the company of the righteous. Our Lord! Grant us what You did promise unto us through Your Apostles and save us from shame on the Day of Judgment: for You never break Your Promise. Our Lord we cherish Your Assurance that You gave us through Your Apostle, “When my servants ask You concerning Me I am indeed close to them; I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls Me; let them also with a will listen to My call and believe in Me; that they may walk in the right way”. We trust your Words O Our Lord for Your Word is always true beyond reproach. We celebrate Your Praises and we are amongst those who prostrate themselves in adoration. Praise be to You the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds! Most Gracious Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You do we worship and Your Aid we seek. Show us the straight way. The way of those on whom You have bestowed Your Grace Those whose portion is not wrath and who go not astray. Allah! You are the

6 Light of the Heavens and the Earth. The parable of Your Light is as if there were a niche and within it a lamp: the lamp enclosed in glass: the glass as it were a brilliant star: lit from a blessed tree an olive neither of the East nor of the West whose Oil is well-nigh luminous though fire scarce touched it: Light upon Light! Allah! You guide whom You will to Your Light. Allah! The Sun, the Moon and the Universe are Your Creations I beseech You to guide me to Your Way: Unless You guide me I shall surely be among those who go astray. Allah! You have purchased of the believers their persons and their good; for in return of Paradise: O Allah! I offer myself for that bargain! Acquire me for a price of Your Choice and for a job of Your Liking but make me Your Possession I would rejoice in the bargain which I conclude with You: that is the achievement supreme. O Our Lord! Make me one of those who witness no falsehood and if they pass by futility they pass by it with honourable avoidance; Those who when they are admonished with the Signs of their Lord droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind: And those who pray "Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes and give us the grace to lead the righteous”. Allah! Make me one of those who are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in Heaven because of their patient constancy; and therein who shall be met with salutations and peace. O Our Lord! Truly You are Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, You know what we conceal deep in our hearts and what we reveal: for nothing whatever is hidden from You, whether on Earth , in Heaven or in the darkest corners of our hearts. Our Lord! You can reach out to the utmost recesses of things by Your Knowledge. Allah! I know If there be the weight of a mustard-seed and it were hidden in a rock or anywhere in the Heavens or Earth, You will bring it forth: for You understand the finest mysteries and are well-acquainted with them. Allah! Make me one of those who establish regular prayer enjoin what is just and forbid what is wrong: and bear with patient constancy whatever betide them; for this is firmness of purpose in the conduct of affairs. And make me one of those who do not swell their cheek for pride at men nor walk in insolence through the Earth; for You do not love arrogant boaster. And those who remain moderate in their pace and lower their voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt is the braying of the ass. Allah! You have subjected to our use all things in the Heavens and on Earth and have made Your Bounties flow to us in exceeding measure both seen and unseen? Yet there are among men those who dispute about You without knowledge and without guidance and without a book to enlighten them! Allah! We say to those who dispute that: “We have submitted our whole self to Allah and so have those who follow Apostle”. Allah! You are most Gracious: we have believed in You and on You have we put our trust: so soon will, those who dispute, know which of us is in manifest error. Allah! You know

7 all that is in Heavens and Earth. You unmistakably know what we hide in core of our hearts. Allah You know that amongst People of the book there are some who when listen to the revelation received by the Apostle, their eyes are seen overflowing with tears for they recognize the truth: they pray: "Our Lord! We believe; write us down among the witnesses”. And when Your Message is recited to them, they fall down on their faces in humble prostration. Allah! Show them Your Light and guidance. Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren, followers of Your Apostles, who came before us into the Faith and leave not in our hearts rancour or sense of injury against those who have believed Our Lord! You are indeed Full of Kindness, Most Merciful. Allah! You are well acquainted with the people who consume Your Provisions but they neither believe in You nor Your Apostle on the contrary they commit the acts of blasphemy. Allah! We complain our distress and anguish to You alone! Enough are You for a witness between us and them: for You are well-acquainted with Your Servants and You see all things. We shall certainly bear with patience all the hurt the blasphemers may cause us. Allah! Guide those who blaspheme, to the straight path. Allah! Knower of all the things, if they do not follow Your Guidance, then confine their repugnance to their souls and save us from the hurt and anguish they cause us. Glory to Our Lord the Lord of Honour and Power! Who is free from what they ascribe to Him! And Peace on the Apostles! And praise to Allah the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds. Allah! You grant wisdom to whom You please; and he to whom wisdom is granted receive indeed a benefit overflowing; but none will grasp the message but men of understanding. Our Lord! Bestow on us Mercy from Yourself and dispose of our affair for us in the right way! Our Lord! let not our hearts deviate now after You have guided us but grant us mercy from Your Own Presence; for You are the Grantor of bounties without measure. Our Lord! Let lure of love of the joys from women and offspring, and stored up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded with their mark, and cattle and land and comforts of the life of the world not deviate us from You. Our Lord! Let our fathers, and our sons, and our brethren, and our wives, and our tribe, and the wealth we have acquired, and merchandise for which we fear recession and dwellings we desire, not become dearer to us than You, Your Messenger and striving in Your Way. Allah! You are the one who gave us hope by saying: "O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Despair not of the Mercy of Allah: for Allah forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. And Your Promise is certainty beyond reproach. Allah! We put our trust in You Who lives and dies not; and celebrate Your Praise; and enough are You to be acquainted with the faults of Your Servants. Allah!

8 You gave us eyes to see but we saw wrong things! You gave us ears to listen but we listened what we were not supposed to! You gave us strength we misused it! You gave us wisdom but we remained egoistic! You gave us wealth but we used it for our interests only and for depriving others from their wealth through interest and usury! You blessed us with Your Bounties but we became arrogant You taught us to speak but we hurt others with our words. You tried us every now and then, and You asked the mankind, “O man! what has seduced you from your Lord Most Beneficent” but we fail to pay any heed and we did not turn to You in repentance and we attained the pinnacle of transgression. There is no god but You: Glory to You: We were indeed wrong! O Our Lord! We have indeed wronged Our souls! Forgive us! For You are the Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful. O Our Lord! grant Your Forgiveness and Mercy! for You are the Best of those who show mercy. Glory to You! To You we turn in repentance. Allah! We believe in You, Your Angels, Your Books and Your Apostles We make no distinction between one and another of Your Apostles. We hear and we obey; we seek Your Forgiveness Our Lord and to You is the end of all journeys. Our Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or make a mistake. Our Lord! Do not place on us a burden as You placed on those before us. Our Lord! Lay not on us the kind of burden that we have no strength to bear. Pardon us, forgive us, have mercy on us. You are our Protector, help us against the unbelievers. O My Lord! I do seek refuge with You lest I ask You for that of which I have no knowledge. And unless You forgive me and have Mercy on me I should indeed be lost! O My Lord! I seek refuge with You from the suggestions of the Evil Ones; And I seek refuge with You, O My Lord, lest they should come near me. Our Lord! Make us not a trial for those who practice oppression; And deliver us by Your Mercy from those who reject You. O Creator of the Heavens and the Earth! You are my Protector in this world and in the hereafter take my soul at death as one submitting to Your Will as a Muslim and unite me with the righteous. I seek refuge with the Lord of the Dawn. From the mischief of created things; from the mischief of darkness as it overspreads; from the mischief of those who practice Secret arts; And from the mischief of the envious one as he practices envy. I seek refuge with the Lord and Cherisher of Mankind. The Ruler of Mankind. The Real God of Mankind. From the mischief of the whisperer of evil who withdraws after his whisper. The same who whispers into the hearts of mankind among Jinns and among men. Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes and give us the grace to lead the righteous. Our Lord! Make of us Muslims bowing to Your Will and of our progeny a people Muslim bowing to Your Will and show us our places for the celebration of due rites; and turn unto us in mercy; for

9 You are the Oft-Returning Most-Merciful. O Our Lord! Make us one who establishes regular Prayer and also raise such among our offspring O Our Lord! And accept our Prayer. O Our Lord! Cover us with Your Forgiveness, us, our parents and all Believers on the Day that the reckoning will be established! Allah! You have enjoined on man Kindness to his parents: O Our Lord! grant us that we may be grateful for Your Favour which You have bestowed upon us and upon both our parents and that we may work righteousness such as You may approve; and be gracious to us in our issues. Truly we have turned to You and truly do we bow to You, in Islam. My Lord! Bestow on our parents Your Mercy even as they cherished us in childhood. O Our Lord! Forgive us, our parents all who enter our houses in Faith and all believing men and believing women. Allah! Ordain for us that which is good in this life and in the hereafter: for we have turned unto You. Allah! with Your Punishment You visit whom You will; but Your Mercy extends to all things. You grant mercy for those who do right and practice regular charity and those who believe in Your Signs. Our Lord! Give us good in this world and good in the hereafter and defend us from the torment on the fire! O Our Lord! The revelation of the Book is from You who is Exalted in Power Full of Knowledge. Who forgives sin, accepts repentance, is strict in punishment and has a long reach in all things. Our Lord! Your Reach is over all things in Mercy and Knowledge. Forgive then those who turn in repentance and follow Your Path: and preserve them from the Penalty of the Blazing Fire! And grant Our Lord! That they enter the Gardens of Eternity which You have promised to them and to the righteous among their fathers their wives and their posterity! For You are the Exalted in Might Full of Wisdom. And preserve them from all ills; and any whom You preserve from ills That Day, on them You have bestowed Mercy indeed: and that will be truly for them the highest achievement. Allah! You have warned us through Your Apostle that one day we will be standing before You elucidating our deeds. Our tongues would be hushed and our limbs would be witness against us. Allah! We fear you! For the convulsion of the Hour of Judgment will be a thing terrible! The Day we shall see it every mother giving suck shall forget her suckling-baby and every pregnant female shall drop her load unformed: we shall see mankind as in a drunken riot yet not drunk: but dreadful will be Your Wrath. Allah! We believe that after we are dead You can give us life again You can assemble our bones and You are able to put together in perfect order the very tips of our fingers. Allah! We are not amongst the ones who question: "When is the Day of Resurrection?" We believe that, when the sight is dazed and the Moon is buried in

10 darkness. And the Sun and Moon are joined together .That Day will man say "Where is the refuge?" By no means! No place of safety! Before Our Lord alone, That Day, will be the place of rest. That Day man will be told all that he put forward and all that he put back. Man will be evidence against himself even though he were to put up his excuses. Some faces That Day will beam, in brightness and beauty, looking towards their Lord; And some faces That Day will be sad and dismal In the thought that some back-breaking calamity was about to be inflicted on them; Yea when the soul reaches to the collar-bone in its exit. And there will be a cry "Who is a magician to restore him?" And man will conclude that it was the time of parting; and one leg will be joined with another: That Day the Drive will be all to Our Lord! That Day the wrongdoer will bite at his hands He will say "Oh! Would that I had taken a straight path with the Apostle! Ah! Woe is me! Would that I had never taken such a one for a friend! He did lead me astray from the Message of Allah after it had come to me! Ah! The Evil One is but a traitor to man” What a darkness of soul and despair would it be. That Day we shall be brought to Judgment: not an act of ours that we hide will be hidden. Then he that will be given his record in his right hand will say: "Ah here! Read my record! I did really understand that my account would one day reach me!" And he will be in a life of bliss. In a Garden on High. The Fruits whereof will hang in bunches low and near. He would be in peace he shall eat and drink with full satisfaction; because of the good that he sent before him in the days that are gone. And he that will be given his record in his left hand will say: "Ah! Would that my record had not been given to me! And that I had never realized how my account stood! Ah! Would that death had made an end of me! Of no profit to me has been my wealth! My power has perished from me!" O My Lord! We trust in what You say that, “And for such as had entertained the fear of standing before their Lord's tribunal and had restrained their soul from lower Desires Their abode will be the Garden”. Allah! You are the one, Who created us and it is You Who guides us; Who gives us food and drink. And when we are ill it is You Who cures us; Who will cause us to die and then to live again; And Who we hope will forgive us our faults on the Day of Judgment. Glory to Our Lord! Verily we have been doing wrong! Our Lord! We have indeed believed: forgive us then our sins and save us from the agony of the fire. Our Lord! Remove the Penalty from us! Our Lord! Avert from us the Wrath of Hell for its Wrath is indeed an affliction grievous. Allah! You have said in Your Book that You have inscribed for Yourself the rule of Mercy.

11 Allah! Every soul shall taste death. Allah! While we are busy in the worldly affairs, You know the time appointed for us to die and You know the place of our graves, Allah! We are only few hours away from our graves where we would be buried abandoning all our belongings, our nearest and dearest, and our pursuits. Our Lord! When our time comes let us, with Your Mercy and Blessings, be amongst the righteous souls who are addressed by You "O You soul, in complete rest and satisfaction! Come back to Your Lord well pleased, Yourself, and well-pleasing unto Your Lord! Enter then among my Devotees! Enter in my Heaven" Allah! Forgive us and enter us in paradise where You shall remove from our hearts any lurking sense of injury; beneath us will be rivers flowing; and we shall say: “Praise be to Allah Who has guided us to this felicity: never could we have found guidance had it not been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the truth that the Apostles of Our Lord brought unto us." And we shall hear the cry: "Behold! The garden before you! You have been made its inheritors for your deeds of righteousness.” Allah! For the kindness and love for humankind You sent Your Apostle, as a mercy for the universe, with a divine revelation, guidance and a true religion to lead the humankind from the darkness of ignorance to the light in keeping with Your Commandments. Allah! You sent Your Apostle to teach humankind the revelation, wisdom, Your Signs and for purification of our souls. Allah! Accept our gratitude on Your Benevolence and Kindness, that You have shown us light through Your Apostle. Allah Your Apostle has conveyed Your Message to the humankind he left with us Your Book and lead an exemplary life to be followed. Allah! Your Apostle had been praying for us day and night and he has been asking Your Forgiveness for us. Allah! Your Apostle never forgot us even at the time of his meeting with You, during his journey to the Heavens where he asked Your Mercy for us. Allah! If You forgive us, on the Day of Judgment, and let us enter in Your Paradise without opening our account of deeds, surely You have power to do so and You are Oft-Forgiving and Most Merciful, but if You decide to open our record Allah! Our account would not suffice on the Day of Judgment. What an ignominy would it be! Allah! If You decide to open our record, we beseech that You do it away from the sight of Your Apostle because it grieves him that we should perish: ardently anxious is he over us: to the believers is he most kind and merciful, the immense humiliation of not following the teachings of Your Apostle would not let us look at the kind and compassionate face of Your Apostle. Our Lord! Accept our gratitude for Your Trust in Your Servants despite the surmise of Angels for spreading mischief, causing bloodshed and defiance by Satan to bow down, and his vow to hoodwink Your Creation. Allah! Save us from the

12 incitement of Satan! Our Lord! Pour out on us patience and constancy and take our souls unto You as Muslims who bow to Your Will! And reckon us amongst those who uphold Your Trust in humankind. O Allah! It is You who makes the dawn break and makes the night a time for rest and appoints the Sun and Moon to reckon by. Relieve me of debt and enrich me from poverty and let me enjoy my hearing, my sight and my strength in Your Way. O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the torment of Hell, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of life and death. O Allah! You have said, 'call on Me - I will answer you' and You do not break Your Promise. So I am asking You, in the same way that You have guided me to Islam, not to take it away from me, and that You make me die while I am Muslim. O Our Lord! Fill my heart with kindness and mercy for Your Creation, You are the best to take care of us and You are the Most Merciful of those who show mercy! Allah! I have never been unblessed, O My Lord, in my supplications to You. Glory to Our Lord the Lord of Honour and Power! Who is free from what the nonbelievers ascribe to Him! And Peace on the Apostles! And praise to Allah the Lord and Cherisher of the Worlds.
