The original Arabic Book of about 300 pages, known as SAHIFA-I-KAMILAH or SAHIFA-I-SAJJADIYA, contains 68 prayers of Imam Zain-ul-Abedin(A.S).  

The extracts cannot produce the same effect nor can they portray, the sublime outpouring from the angelic soul.  

The reader is, at once convinced that these are not the words of man, but are from a higher spiritual and divine source. 

 
a   ASMA-AL-HUSNA  

Almost all the educated persons, who do not believe in GOD are psychic and spiritually ill. They have imaginary or real fear complex. In their hearts and minds there is unrest.  

Whether they take tranquilisers or any other pills or remedies, the doctors of medicines have no cure for them.  

THE HOLY QURAN SYS  

"Those who believe and whose hearts are set at rest by the remembrance of Allah; now surely by Allah's remembrance are the hearts set at rest".  Ch. XIII Ver. 28.  

If a man will repeat the above Ayat or any one of the "Asma-al-Husna" 100 times, he will be surprised to find, the relief he gets.

IN PRAISE OF ALLAH  

All praise is due to Allah, the First before whom there was no first and the last after whom there shall be no last.  

The eyes cannot see Him and the imagination of those who praise him are unable to describe Him.  

His names are Holy and His Blessings continuous.  

All praise is due to Allah, for what he taught us about Himself and inspired us with gratitude to Him to Him and opened for us the door of knowledge about His Godhood and directed us to be sincere in the belief of His unity and restrained us from rebelling against and entertaining doubts about His Commands.  

We offer praise so that we may be with those who praise Him.  

A praise whereby, we may be saved from the painful punishment of the fire and led to His glorious nearness.  

A praise whereby, we may be joined to His Apostle and His place of Honour that shall not be changed.  

And praise be to Allah, who feeds us with wholesome sustenance and made us independent, by His Grace and gives us wealth, by his Kindness. Then He commands us to try our obedience and prohibited certain things, so that He may test our gratitude.  

And when we deviated from His path and rebelled against His prohibitions, He neither hurried to punish nor retirbute us.  

He delays with Merciful regard and waits for us to return to obedience with Gracious Forbearance.  

And praise is due to Allah, who guides us to repentance, which we could have never done except through His Grace.  

Verily, He lifted off the burdens for which we had not the strength to bear; He did not place duties upon us beyond our power and gave us easy employment and did not leave any ground or excuse for neglecting them.  

So the wicked amongst us will be destroyed against His Wish and the righteous are inclined towards Him.  

Then praise be to Him, having no end to its existence, no reckoning for its numbers, no limit to its extremity and no period to its duration.  

A praise which may be a means of connecting our service to Him and His pardon, a cause for His favour, an intercession for His forgiveness, a path to His paradise, a protection from His chastisement, a security from His Wrath, and aid in His service, a restraint from His disobedience and a help in repaying our dues and obligations to Him.  

A praise whereby, we may be happy among His righteous servants. Verily, He is the Lord, most worthy to be praised.  
  

BLESSINGS ON THE APOSTLE GOD  

All praise is due to Allah , who favoured us with Muhammad.  
May Allah bless him and his descendants.  

O Lord! Bless Muhammad, the trustee of Thy Message, the best of Thy ceatures, the chosen one of Thy servants, the harbinger of mercy, the precursor of goodness, the key of blessing. He exerted himself for Thy purpose and exposed himself to pain, for Thy sake and fought Thy enemies till his mission was accomplished and what was planned for his friends was achieved. Thy command was established and Thy Word was exalted.  

Therefore O Lord! Exalt him for his exertions in Thy cause to the highest rank in Thy paradise, till his position may not be equalled by any angel or prophet. And distinguish him with effective intercession for sacred members of his house and true believers, greater than Thou hast promised O Performer of promise! O Keeper of thy word! O changer of evil into good ! Verily, Thou art magnificently kind and Thou art the Generous, the Bountiful.  
 

BLESSINGS ON THE ANGLES  

O Lord! bless the bearers of Thy Throne, who never grow lazy in extolling Thy Name, are never tired of remembering Thy Holiness, never grow weary of adoring Three, and never fail to have intense love for Thee.  

O Lord ! bless Israfil, the Trumpeter, the vigilant who is waiting for Thy order, to warn the dead who are lying in their graves; and Mikaeel, the Honourable, the holder of lofty rank in Thy service; and Jibraeel, the Trustee of Thy message who is respected and near Thee.  

And the Angel of death and the Munkir and Nakir and Rooman, the questioners of the dead in tombs; and bless Malik the guards of Hell and Rizwan the keepers of Paradise and bless angels whom we have omitted to mention.  

O Lord! when Thou hast blessed Thy angels and Thy Apostles, convey to them our blessings and be pleased for Thy enabling us to speak well of them.  

Verily, Thou art Generous and Bountiful.  
 

ASKING GOD FOR HIS FAVOURS.  

O you! The wonder of Whose glory will never exhaust, bless Muhammad and his descendants, erstrain us from forsaking Your Greatness;  

And O You! Whose kingdom will never finish, bless Muhammad and his descendants, save us from Your chastisement;  

And O You! Whose store of mercy will never be exhausted, bless Muhammad and his descendants, appoint for us a share of your Mercy;  

O Lord! make us independent of gifts of the givers, with Your Bounty, and protect us from loneliness, with Your connection, till we may not incline to any except You and because of Your Favour we may not fear anybody.  

O Lord! bless Muhammad and his descendants, plan for us and not against us and give us the upper hand and do not give the upperhand to any over us.  

O Lord! bless Muhammad and his descendants, guard us from Your Wrath, protect us with Your Grace and guide us towards You. Whomsoever You protect is saved, whom You direct, is guided and whom You keep near You is blessed.  

O Lord! bless Muhammad and his descendants, save us from the mischief of Shaitan and his bitterness and fury.  

O Lord! bless Muhammad and his descendants, let us be Your missionaries, guiding men towards You and make us one of the chosen, in Your Sight, O Most Merciful!  
 

IN DIFFICULTY AND TROUBLE  

O You, from whom we seek deliverance from trials and comfort in time of distress.  

You are the One to Whom, we cry in times of trouble and You are the only Refuge in distress.  

None of the difficulties are removed except what You remove and none of the troubles taken away except what You take away. There is no one to make easy, what you have made difficult and no one to help him whom You have forsaken.  

Therefore, bless Muhammad and his Aal and graciously open for me the gate of deliverance O Lord, remove from me overpowering anxiety by Your Might and look with favour upon the supplications I have made and make me taste the sweetness of your dealings with me. Bestow Your Mercy upon me and a pleasant relief from sorrow. Grant me by Your Grace speedy deliverance from distress.  

Verily, I am distressed because of what has befallen me and am full of sadness on account of what I have to bear that which has overtaken me.  

You have the power to remove in which I am involved and avert in which I have fallen.  

Therefore, please grant me this favour, though I do not deserve it, O Possessor of the Magnificent Throne.  
 

PROTECTION  

O Lord! I implore Your protection from the excitation of greed, the impetuosity of anger, the domination of envy, the depravity of morals, the importunity of passion, the excess of zeal, the submission to desires, the opposition to right, the drowsiness of negligence, the entrance into troubles, the preferring of wrong to right, persistence in sin, the under estimation of guilt, the over-estimation of service, the pride of the wealthy, the begging of equals, the despising of the poor, the ridicule of enemies, the abuse of power, the omitting to thank, assisting the oppressor, forsaking the oppressed, aspiring to which I am not entitled, speaking of learning without knowledge.  

And I implore Your protection from observing the weaknesses of others, from being proud of my good deeds, from indulging in far-fetched hopes, from being involved in calamity, from the oppression of the ruler, from extravagant habits, from want of livelihood, from living in hardship, dying without asking pardon and from the chastisement of fire.  

O Lord! bless Muhammad and his Aal and protect me and all the true believers, both male and female, from all these, by Your Mercy, O Most Merciful.  
  

REPENTANCE.  

 O Lord! bless Muhammad and his Aal and guide us to repentance which pleases You and remove our persistence in sins, which is hateful to You.  

 O Lord! forgive our sins and manifest Your Grace. If you wished You could punish us and display Your Justice. Be graciously pleased to make Your Pardon easy for us and by Your Forgiveness deliver us from Your Punishment, for verily we have not the strength to stand against Your Justice; therefore save us by Your Pardon.  

 O Most Independent One ! O Most Merciful ! O Most Gracious! O You ! Whose Forgiveness is more frequent than Your chastisement ! Behold, we, Your servants, are standing before You, verily we are in great need.  

 O Holy One, we are weak and helpless, we do not despair of Your Mercy, we repent and are ashamed of our sins, the duties we neglected, the wrongs we accumulated against us, we are sincerely sorry for what we fell into. O Lord, bless Muhammad and his Aal and forgive us and save us from what we deserve and shelter us from what the wicked are afraid of.  

 Verily, You have power over everything and this is easy for You. Amin, Lord of the Worlds.  

NEED.  

 O Lord ! Who ultimately satisfies our needs, Who sells not His favors for a price; Whose gifts are not accompanied with reproaches; Whose stores cannot be exhausted by requests and Whom Prayers do not fatigue.  
 Thou hast prided Thyself on being independent Thou hast called Thy creatures needy.  

 How can one needy creature beg of another who is in need; and why should a pauper be attracted to another pauper?  

 So I request Thee for Thy sake and that of Muhammad and his Aal do not turn me away disappointed.  
 

NEW MOON.  

I believe in Him, who illuminated with the moon the darkness and made it one of the signs of His Sovereignty and authority. He has made the crescent the key of the month, newly arrived for new affairs.  
 Therefore, I pray to God to shower blessings on Muhammad and his Aal and to make this crescent for me, one of prosperity, which the days may not obliterate and of purity, which the sins may not taint, and of security from calamities and safety from wrong, and of auspiciousness having no misfortune in it and blessings unaccompanied by sorrow, and prosperity unmixed with distress and good unspoiled by evil.  
 O Lord, Bless Muhammad and his Aal and let us be the most happy and lucky of those who look at it and give us grace to repent and inspire us with gratitude for Thy bounties.  
 Verily Thou art the most benevolent, the Praiseworthy, bless Muhammad and his Aal the pure, the holy.  
 

BEGINNING OF RAMZAN.  

Praise be to God who has ordained the month of Ramzan to be His month. The month of fasting, Islam, equality, purification and prayers. In the month of Ramzan the Quran was revealed, a guidance to mankind.  
 He manifested Ramzan's excellence over other months by alloting it abundant honour and grace.  
 He prohibited eating and drinking in order to exalt and honour it. He gave excellence to one night, over a thousand months - the Night of Qadr, in which descend the angels and spirits by His permission - for every affair.  
 O Lord, Bless Muhammad and his Aal and inspire us to know its excellence and honour. Help us to abstain from what is forbidden and to observe the fasts and employ us in that which will please Thee.  
 So that we may not gossip nor direct our eyes towards evil, nor stretch our hands to things forbidden, nor stoop to things prohibited, nor eat of what is unlawful.  
 Protect us from showiness loved by the ostentations and notoriety desired by the seekers of fame.  
 O Lord! give us grace to perform timely the 5 prayers. Let us show favour to our relations and do good to them, and help our neighbours with kindness, to purge our property of obligations and purify it by giving legal alms.  
 Far be it from us to reconcile him who is abhorred on account of Thee and for Thy sake, for he is an enemy we will never befriend.  
 O Lord! I beg Thee for the sake of this month to make us worthy of that which Thou has promised to Thy friends, and restrain us from unbelief in Thy unity and our deficiency in glorifying Three.  
 O Lord, with the expiration of its days, purify us of guilty and sins and help us in the day time to observe the fast and at night to pray, and let us be like this in all the months and days as long as Thou keep us alive.  
   

END OF RAMZAN.  

O Lord, who draws a curtain over him, who could be disgraced if Thou so desired, and conferred favours on him whom Thou could refuse, while both of them deserve disgrace and denial from Three.  
 But Thou has based Thy actions on kindness, and made Thy power work with forgiveness, and dealt mildly with him who disobeyed Three and allowed him time to reform who wanted to injure his own soul.  
 It is Thou who has raised the price of virtue against Thyself and in favour of Thy servants, desiring their benefit in their commerce with Thee.  
 O lord, purify us of our errors by the ending of this month, and makes us prosperous by its dividend, and make us rich by the share of its blessings.  
 It is Thou, Who has with Thy Word induced Thy servants to profit, and guided them to which they would never have perceived, had Thou concealed it from them. So thou has said, "Remember Me, I will remember you." And "If you give thanks, I will give more and more."  
 If a man were to guide another man to anything like that to which Thou has guided, he would have been applauded and praised by every tongue.  
 Thou has guided us to Thy religion and to Thy path, which Thou has made easy.  
 O Lord, Thou has ordained Ramazan to be one of our chosen duties and essential observances, and have distinguished it by the descent of the Quran, Thy guiding Light in it. Thou has increased the Faith by enjoining observance of the month and encouraged prayers and by the Glorious Night of Qadar. Moreover, by observing this month Thou has given us superiority over other nations and preference to people of other creeds.  
 And verily, this month stayed to our benefit, and its departure makes us sad and lonely. Therefore we say: Peace be upon thee O Great month of God and festival of His friends. Peace be upon thee, as thou did come to us with blessings and whose fasts were not abandoned on account of tediousness.  
 O Lord, we are the people of this month, whom Thou did honour when the unlucky ignored its time, and were deprived of its excellence owing to their ill-luck, and extend our life, so as to overtake the next Ramazan.  
 O Lord, bless Muhammad and his Aal, heal our sufferings by means of this month, and bless us on the day of Eid, and let it be the best day that has passed over us, the greatest attraction of pardon, a festival of joy for the believers and a day of gathering and congregation.  
 

DAY OF ARAFAAH.  

Praise be to Allah, the king of kings Whose identity, imagination failed to reach, and reason failed to judge Thy quality, and eyes never perceived Thy whereabouts.  
 Holiness to Thee, O Monarch! How powerful art Thou. O Bountiful! How liberal art Thou. O Glorious! The possessor of all beauty, greatness, majesty and praise.  
 O Lord! bless Muhammad and his descendants, the chosen, the honoured, with most excellent of Thy blessings.  
 O Lord! this is the day of Arafaah, a day which Thou has ennobled, honoured and exalted and wherein Thou has spread Thy mercy, favours, pardon, magnificent gifts and kindness to Thy Servants.  
 Thou has guided me to love Thy friends and hate Thy enemies, and I have come to Thee through the gates (12 Apostlic Imams) through which Thou commanded to come. I approach Thee through them, without whom none can approach Thee.  
 Moreover, I reinforce this with repentance, humility, hope, fear and sincerity.  
 Neither puffed up with the pride of the haughty nor lifted up with the conceit of the obedient nor arrogant on account of the mediation of intercessors.  
 Therefore, O Thou! Who does not hasten to punish nor withhold Thy blessings from those in comfort. I admit I have committed sins and for the sake of him whose obedience and love Thou has linked to Thine, protect and pardon me in this day of my life.  
 And guide my heart to pray and save me from laziness.  
 And make it easy for me to walk virtuously towards Thee and do not destroy me along with those who treated Thy threat lightly.  
 And do not favour me with that I have no strength to bear; for then I shall be crushed by what Thou will lavish upon me of the excess of Thy love.  
 And give me security from Thy trial and cause me to die a lucky death.  
 And do not put me to strain with a tension, which will harden my heart and do not afflict me with a calamity which will take away my honour.  
 And do not smite me with a terror whereby I may become hopeless nor with a fear that may terrify me.  
 Bless Muhammad and his descendants.  
 

WISHES.  

O Lord! bless Muhammad and his Aal, raise my faith to perfection;  
And make me independent and provide me amply with Thy sustenance;  
And do not let me be tempted by arrogance caused by wealth;  
And let me be honoured, but do not let me fall a prey to pride;  
And cause me to adore Thee and do not let my adoration be spoiled with conceit;  
And issue from my hands good to mankind and do not let it be undone by reproaches;  
And let me live as long as my life is useful in serving Thee.  
O Lord! Thou art my shelter if I grow sad, and Thou art my resource if I am in need, and unto Thee I cry for help.  
Therefore, favour me before calamity and bounty before begging and do not make my life a succession of trials and do not reject my prayer, for I do not recognise Thy equal and preserve my subsistence from waste and increase my possession with blessings and let me walk along the path of benevolence and protect me with Thy glory from what I fear.  
O Lord! bless Muhammad and his Aal and guard my honour with prosperity and do not disgrace my dignity with poverty, let my term of existence end with Thy pardon and graciously protect me from torment and fire.  
 

SECURITY  

O Lord! bless Muhammad and his Aal and clothe me with Thy safety and honour me with Thy protection, and guard me with Thy security and make me independent with Thy protection and favour me with Thy safety both in this world and the next.  
 And favour me with health and security and success and power to do what you have commanded and to keep away from what You have forbidden.  
 O Lord! always guide me to perform the Haj and the Oomrah and the Ziarats to the tombs of Thy Prophet and his Aal, peace be on them, in this year and every future year of my life, and make them acceptable pilgrimage, approved, remembered and stored by Thee.  
 And let my tongue utter Thy praise and thanks and give capacity to my mind to receive Thy faith.  
 And protect me and my family from the devil and the vulgar and the mean, and from malicious kings and from the mischief of the envious, the and haughty richman and the weak and the weak and the strong, and from the mischief of the jins and men who insist upon fighting Thy Apostle and his Aal, and turn away from me whoever intends to wrong me and disgrace him and break his pride, ruin his greatness and render my safe from all his mischiefs.  
 Verily, Thou art possessor of Glory and Power.  

PARENTS.  

O Lord,! bless Muhammad and his Aal and distinguish them with the best of Your favour, mercy, blessings and peace.  
O Lord! grant my parents excellence and nearness to Thee, and Thou hast given us claim over Thy creation because of Thy Prophet.  
And make me fear my parents, and make me love them with tenderness, and make me obey and do good to them, till I give preference to their wishes and needs over mine.  
 O Lord, let my voice be lower, agreeable and soft and make my heart kind to them.  
 O Lord, reward them for bringing me up and loving me, and guard them as they guarded me in my infancy.  
 O Lord, for whatever pain and displeasure I have caused them, pardon them and exalt their ranks in addition to their good deeds.  
 O Lord, I do not accuse them for causing me hurt or neglecting to do good to me or caring for me, because their claim on me is great, their benevolence magnificent, and I am highly obliged to them and cannot fairly repay them.  
 O Lord, do not let me forget to remember them after my Namaz and at every time of the night and every hour of the day; and grant a sure pardon by Your Mercy, for surely Your Generosity is great and Your kindness eternal.  
 O Lord, grant me all my desires and satisfy my needs, and favour me with all that will do me good in this world and the next, and whatever I remember and whatever I have forgotten to ask, and let me be one of the righteous, who are safe from calamity by Thy grace.  
 

CHILDREN.  

O Allah, favour me by sparing from death my children and by teaching them for me and by blessing me with them.  
 O Lord, prolong their lives for me bring them up for me and strengthen the weak ones and heal their bodies, faith and morals and let them be safe in mind and body and in every thing I am anxious about them, and let their sustenance flow into my hand, and let them be virtuous, pious able to see and hear, obedient unto Thee and lovers and well-wishers of Thy friends, and hostile and hateful towards all Thy enemies. Amin.  

 O Lord, strengthen my arm and burdened back with them, and increase my family and adorn my society and keep my name alive by them, and make them take care of my affairs in my absence and help me with them to satisfy my needs, and let them love me, be kind, faithful and obedient to me and not dis-obedient, nor wicked, nor unkind, nor guilty.  
 And help me in training and educating them to do good, and grant from Thee male children and let this be a benefit for me, and make them my helpers in whatever I ask of Thee, and protect me and my children from the Shaitan, he shall mislead us if Thou doth not guard us.  
  

NEIGHBOURS  

O Lord, bless Muhammad and his Aal, and be my Trustee among my neighbours and friends, who know our right and renounce our enemies.  
 O Lord, grant them grace to establish Thy way, to be kind to the weak, to help those who are in want, to visit the sick, to guide those who ask, to advise those who seek counsel, to cover their nakedness, to relieve the oppressed, to sympathise by helping them, to do good to them with generosity and benevolence, and to give what is due to them before they ask.  
 

MUSLIMS AND THEIR ENEMIES.  

 O Lord, bless Muhammad and his descendants, and fortify the Muslim frontiers with your might, and support their defenders with Your strength and bestow on them gifts out of Your bounty.  
 O Lord, bless Muhammad and his Aal, and increase their numbers and sharpen their weapons, and guard their surroundings and keep their company united, and regulate their business and strengthen them with victory and be kind to devise stratagem for them.  
 O Lord, defeat the enemies of the Muslims and cut off the reinforcement of the enemies and diminish their numbers, fill their hearts which awe, make the wombs of their women barren and the loins of their men dry, stop the breeding of their cattle, do not make their sky rain and make their earth unproductive.  
 O Lord, thereby strengthen the power of the Muslims and fortify their cities and multiply their wealth and relieve them from fighting for Thy worship, so that none be adored in the earth except Thee and no forhead be placed on the dust for any one but Thee.  
 O Lord, whoever fights for Thy Religion in order to exalt it, then bless him with wealth and happiness and deliver him from sadness and bless him with good intentions, guard him with safety, protect him from cowardice and inspire him with courage, give him hardiness and assist him with victory, guide him in command and cast off from him ostentation and desire for publicity, and let his thoughts, speech, moving and standing be for Thee.  

DEBT  

O Lord, bless Muhammad and his descendants, and give me security from a debt which may make my face to droop and confuse my wits and perplex my mind and continuous of which will prolong my toil.  
 I seek Thy protection, O Lord, against the sadness of debt and its cares, anxiety and sleeplessness, and of Thee do I seek deliverance from its disgrace in this life and penalty after death. Bless Muhammad and his Aal and deliver me from debt with an excellent and sufficient prosperity.  
O Lord, restrain me from extravagance and excess, correct me with generosity and economy, teach me the secret of accurate valuation, and let my sustenance flow from honest sources, keep off from me the wealth that would create conceit in me or lead me to disobedience and rebellion.  
 O Lord, make me love the company of the poor and help me to be patient with them, and let what Thou hast bestowed on me, be a means of nearness to Thee, a step in Thy direction and entrance to Thy paradise. Verily, Thou art Possessor of Great Kindness and Thou art Generous and Bountiful.  
 

THANKSGIVING  

 All praise is due to Allah; for had he withheld the knowledge of gratitude due to him from His creatures for His successive blessings and continuous favours upon them, they would have certainly enjoyed His blessings without praising Him, and thrived in His gifts without ever thanking Him. If they were such, certainly they would have gone below the limit of humanity. They would have been like beasts, as He has described them in His Mighty Book, "Yea, they are like beasts and they again go astray."  
 All praise is due to Allah, for He taught and inspired us with gratitude to Him and opened for us the doors of the knowledge of his Godhood, and guided us to sincerely believe in His Unity and restrained us from rebellion and doubt for His command.  
 O lord, verily no one can ever come to the end of thanking Thee, for the good that accrues to him from Thy benevolence, which requires of him more thanks.  
 Therefore, the most thankful of Thy creature is he who is conscious of his inability to thank Thee, and the most devout is he who knows, he cannot adore The sufficiently.  
 Therefore, whomsoever You forgive, it is Your generosity, and whomsoever You favour it is Your kindness , because it is Your custom to be generous and Your habit to be benevolent and Your way, to forgive.  
 You give to Your creatures what they do not deserve and You do not hasten to punish them who disobey; therefore bless Muhammad and his descendants and grant us hop.  
 Verily, Thou art Most Benevolent and Generous.  
 

APOLOGY.  

 O Lord, I apologise for the wrong done to one oppressed in my presence, whom I did not help; and for the good done to me for which I did not thank; and for not relieving a man in need, who begged of me; and for failing to satisfy a believer; and for every sin which I did not avoid.  
 Therefore, bless Muhammad and his Aal and let my repentance make me entitle to Thy love, O Lover of those who repent?  
  

HOPE.  

 Bismillah is the creed of those who seek protection and the motto of those who want refuge.  
 Praise be to God Who called none to witness when He created the heavens and the earth; never had any partner in His Godhood, nor was He helped in His oneness. The tongues are unable to praise Him to the due extent and reason is incapable to understand His fundamental characteristic, and the mighty humble themselves before His Majesty and the faces fall on account of His dread, and all the great submit to His glory.  
 Praise be to god, who existed before creation and any life, who shall continue to exist after all things have perished. The Knower, Who forgets not who remembers Him, and does not diminish who thanks Him, and does not disappoint who prays to Him, and does not frustrate the hope who places hope put in Him.  
 Therefore, bless Muhammad, the best of Thy servants and prophets and the pure and holy members of his house; he delivered Thy message with which Thou had entrusted him, and he strived hard in the cause of Allah, and gave happy tidings of reward which is certain and threatened with punishment in which there is no doubt.  
 O Lord, honour me with Thy dignity, which never diminishes and watch me with Thy eye which never sleeps and terminate my life in forgiveness --- Verily, Thou are Forgiving, the Merciful.  
 O Lord, let the first part of this day of mine consist in amendment, the middle of it in prosperity and the last of it in success.  
 O Lord, employ my strength in Thy service and let my delight consist in Thy worship, and make me love Thy reward and cause me to abstain from that which would make me to deserve painful chastisement, and keep me firm in Thy religion as long as Thou keep me alive, and let my existence end in Thy pardon, O Lord of Benevolence!  
 

PRAYER.  

Praise be to Thee O Lord, I beg of Thee mercy, and Exalted are Thou.  Praise be to Thee O Lord, Honour is Thy dress and Glory Thy mantle and Magesty Thy proof.  Praise be to You, You see and hear everything in the earth, You witness every secret word, O Resort of every praying one, You are present in every assembly.  Praise be to Thee O Great Lord of hope, Thou knowest the weight of the heavens and the worlds, the sun and the moon, darkness and light, sunshine and air.  
 Praise be to Thee, Thou art Holy! Thou are Holy! Thou are Holy! It is a wonder how he who knows Thee does not fear Thee.  Lord, let not my enemies laugh at me and grieve not my fiends and relations on my account.  I know, O my Lord, there is no injustice in Your sentence, nor haste in Your retribution; he alone makes haste who is afraid to lose the opportunity, and it is the weak who have recourse to unfair means.  Let Thy blessings descend on Muhammad and the holy members of his house and abundant peace.
