His supplication for the tenth of the month
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O my Allah! Many were the things to which I was inattentive, but You
created awareness in me. Thus You made it easy for me to draw
benefits therefrom and removed the ill effects thereof and saved me from
total deprivations therefrom. Without myself knowing it, You protected
me. There is no power or might but You. So praise be to You for Your
kindness and favours. O Allah! Many, many were the matters of which I
was unaware, but You guided me, corrected my ideas about them,
favoured me with good insight, made me successful in my aims and
made help available to me, so praise be to You beyond all measures, O
Lord of the Worlds! O Allah! Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) the Ummi
Prophet, agreeable, pleased, holy, pious, blessed, clean, sacrosanct,
guarding against evil, pure and faithful and also bless his holy and
virtuous progeny as You blessed Ibrahim (a.s.) and his children. Verily
You are Praiseworthy and sublime. O Allah! I beseech You in the name
of all Your attributes to bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad, Your
prophet and his Progeny and to kindly forgive all my sins whether past
or present, big or small, open or secret, known or unknown to me which
You have reckoned with but I have forgotten. O Allah! O Allah! O the
Beneficent! O the Beneficent! O the Merciful! O the Merciful! Hallowed
are You O Allah! with Your praise. There is no god save You. I ask Your
forgiveness and turn penitent towards You. You are my Allah, the place
to lodge all complaints and for all needs. You have commanded Your
bondsmen to invoke You and You have promised to accept the same,
Verily You are ever Nigh and ready Answerer. O my Allah! Hallowed are
You. You are with all praise: and there is no god except You. How lofty
is Your name amidst the dwellers of Heavens and how Praiseworthy are
Your deeds amongst the inhabitants of the Earth! How profusely are
Your bounties diffused on the earth and in the Oceans! O Allah! praise
be to You. There is no god save You. I seek forgiveness from You and
turn penitent to You. You are affectionate and to You one should turn for
help. You caused the rain to fall from the clouds and bestow livelihood.
You distribute the sustenance, decide about the ages, bestow upon
mankind their requirements, irrigate the land, grow the fruits. You are the
possessor of great blessings. O Allah! Praise be to You. There is no
God beside You. I seek mercy and turn penitent towards You. You are
hearer of complaints and the object of our inclination. You cause the rain
to fall. The thunder and the angles glorify You with praise out of fear for
You. The Arsh, the low columns of the sky, the winds, things in between
them and below, under the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars,
illuminations, the darkness, the light, the shadow, pleasant shades of
Heaven and the heat of the Hell, all praise You. Glory be to You. You
set the mountains in motion and blow that winds. Hallowed are You.
There is no god save You and I seek Your pardon and to You I turn
penitent. Hallowed are You. I beseech You for the sake of Your
reverential name, in the name of the establishers of Your Arsh, those in
Your Heavens and Earth, in the oceans, in the atmosphere, the
darkness, the turbulent seas, those in the abyss, and those between the
east and west. Glory be to You. O Allah! Praise be to You. There is no
god save You. I seek forgiveness and turn penitent to You. Glory be to
You. There is no God except You. I pray to You for the grant of my
solicitations and for enabling me to thank You in weal and woe. Glory be
to You for There is no god save You. When You glanced at the skies,
their layers became solidified and when You glanced at the pillars of the
earth, their ends trembled. Glory be to You. When You looked at what is
in the oceans and their storms, they began foaming. You are Glorified.
All this happened because of fear and awe from You. You are Holy. You
glance at East and West and at what is between them in the
atmosphere, which You are encompassing, made them submit with
humility towards the glory of the most glorious face of Yours. Glory be to
You for there was none to help You in raising the skies and in
establishing Your sublime Authority. Glory be to You for there was none
present when You spread and stretched forth the earth, and then made
it a resting place. Who can excel You in Your powers? None. Glory be to
You. Who was there to have seen You when You established the
mountains and blessed Your creatures by making them strong and firm?
None. Glory be to You. Who was there to have helped You when You
set the seas in motion surrounding the earth? None. Hallowed are You.
There is no god save You. Praise be to You. There is nothing that can
be Your equal or rival. There is nothing that can escape from You or can
get rid of Your powers. O Allah! Glory be to You. There is no god beside
You. When my insight thinks of Your awe the eyes weep on the
unawareness of my heart. Glory be to You. How great is Your
forbearance, how nicely Your order is in force and how beautiful is the
creation created by You! Glory be to You! There is no god save You.
None can reach the limit of Your praise or the essence of Your reality, or
know the extent of Your realm. Glory be to You. In Your presence eyes
become bewildered and hearts get filled with fright of You and are
awe-struck with Your grandeur. Glory be to You O Allah! There is no
god save You. Praise be to You. How forbearing! How Just, and how
Compassionate and Merciful! And how Great Listener and what an
All-knowing You are. Glory be to You! There is no god but You.
Disappoint me not of Your mercy and take me not to task. I beseech
Your mercy. O the Lord of the Worlds, Grant this Prayer!
