11) His Supplication for Good Outcomes |
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. |
1- O He remembering whom brings honour to those who remember! |
O He thanking whom brings triumph to those who give thanks! |
O He obeying whom brings deliverance to those who obey! |
Bless Muhammad and his Household, |
and divert our hearts through remembering Thee from every act of remembrance, |
our tongues through thanking Thee from every act of thanksgiving, |
our limbs through obeying Thee from every act of obedience! |
2- If Thou hast ordained for us idleness from these occupations, |
make it an idleness of safety, |
within which no ill consequence visits us |
or weariness overtakes us! |
with a page empty of the mention of our evil deeds, |
Then the writers of evil deeds may depart from us |
and the writers of good deeds may turn away from us |
happy with the good deeds of ours which they have written. |
3- And when the days of our life have passed by, |
the terms of our lifetimes have elapsed, |
and Thy call, which must come and be answered, summons us forth, |
then bless Muhammad and his Household |
and make the outcome of what the writers of our works count against us |
an accepted repentance, |
which afterwards gave us no rest in a sin that we committed |
or an act of disobedience that we performed! |
4- Remove not from us any covering with which Thou hast covered over the heads of the witnesses |
on the day when the records of Thy servants are tried! |
Verily Thou art compassionate to him who supplicates Thee, |
the responder to him who calls upon Thee! |
