Dua komail

O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy, which embraces all things.

And by Your power, through which You have overcome all things, before which everything submits and is humbled.

And by Your absolute might, through which You prevail over all things, and by Your glory, which nothing can resist.

And by Your greatness, which fills all things, and by Your sovereignty, which rises above all things.

And by Your everlasting Face, which remains after all things perish, and by Your names, which fill the foundations of all things.

And by Your knowledge, which encompasses all things, and by the light of Your Face, through which all things are illuminated.

O Light, O All-Holy, O First of the first and Last of the last.

O Allah, forgive me the sins that tear away the safeguards.

O Allah, forgive me the sins that bring down punishments.

O Allah, forgive me the sins that cause blessings to change.

O Allah, forgive me the sins that hold back supplication.

O Allah, forgive me the sins that bring down affliction.

O Allah, forgive every sin I have committed and every wrong I have done.

O Allah, I draw near to You through remembrance of You, and I seek Your intercession with Yourself.

By Your generosity, I ask You to bring me close to Your nearness, enable me to thank You, and inspire me to remember You.

O Allah, I ask You as a submissive, lowly, and humble servant: be lenient with me, have mercy on me, make me pleased and content with what You allot to me, and keep me humble in every state.

O Allah, I ask You as one whose need has become severe, who lays his need before You in hardship, and whose longing for what is with You has grown great.

O Allah, Your authority is immense, Your station is exalted, Your plan is subtle, Your command is manifest, Your dominion is overwhelming, and Your power prevails; there is no escape from Your rule.

O Allah, apart from You I find no forgiver of my sins, no concealer of my shameful deeds, and no one who can transform my evil actions into good.

There is no god but You. Glory and praise belong to You. I have wronged myself, acted boldly through my ignorance, and relied upon Your ancient remembrance of me and Your favor toward me.

O Allah, my Master, how many of my shameful deeds You have concealed, and how many crushing afflictions You have turned away.

How many stumbles You have prevented, how many evils You have repelled, and how much fine praise, which I did not deserve, You have spread about me.

O Allah, my affliction is immense, my condition has become wretched, my deeds fall short, and my chains hold me down.

My far-reaching hopes have kept me from what benefits me; the world has deceived me with its illusion, and my soul with its wrongdoing and delay. O my Master!

By Your glory, I ask You not to let the evil of my deeds and conduct veil my prayer from You.

Do not expose me through the hidden secrets You know about me, and do not hasten to punish me for what I have done in private.

For my evil actions, misconduct, continual neglect, ignorance, many desires, and heedlessness.

O Allah, by Your glory, be gentle with me in every state and compassionate toward me in all my affairs.

My God and my Lord, whom do I have besides You to ask for relief from my distress and care over my affairs?

My God and my Master, You allowed a decree to pass over me in which I followed my own desire and did not guard myself against the adornment of my enemy.

He deceived me through what I desired, and the decree enabled him in that; so I crossed some of Your limits and disobeyed some of Your commands.

All praise is Yours in every one of these matters. I have no argument concerning what Your decree brought upon me and what Your judgment and trial made binding upon me.

My God, I have come to You after my shortcomings and excesses against myself: apologetic, remorseful, broken, seeking release and forgiveness, returning, acknowledging, submitting, and confessing.

I find no escape from what I have done and no refuge to which I can turn, except that You accept my excuse and admit me into the vastness of Your mercy.

O Allah, accept my excuse, have mercy on the severity of my distress, and free me from the tightness of my bonds.

My Lord, have mercy on the weakness of my body, the delicacy of my skin, and the frailty of my bones.

O You who began my creation, remembrance, upbringing, care, and nourishment, grant me pardon by Your first generosity and Your former kindness toward me.

My God, my Master, and my Lord, would You punish me with Your fire after I have affirmed Your oneness, after my heart has held knowledge of You, my tongue has spoken Your remembrance, and my innermost being has embraced love for You?

And after my sincere confession and my humble prayer before Your Lordship?

Far be it from You! You are too generous to abandon one You have nurtured, distance one You have brought near, cast out one You have sheltered, or surrender to affliction one You have protected and shown mercy.

If only I knew, my Master, my God, and my Protector: would You give the fire power over faces that fell in prostration before Your greatness, and over tongues that sincerely proclaimed Your oneness and praised You with gratitude?

Or over hearts that truly acknowledged Your divinity, souls filled with knowledge of You until they became humble, and limbs that obediently hastened to places of worship and submissively sought Your forgiveness?

This is not what is expected of You, nor what Your grace has taught us about You, O Generous One, O Lord.

You know my weakness before even a little of this world's affliction and punishment, and before the hardships that befall its people.

Even though such affliction and hardship remain only briefly, endure for little time, and soon pass away.

How, then, could I endure the affliction of the Hereafter and the terrible hardships that occur there?

It is an affliction whose duration is long, whose place is lasting, and whose burden is not lightened for its people, because it comes only from Your anger, retribution, and displeasure.

The heavens and earth cannot withstand this. How, then, could I, my Master, when I am Your weak, lowly, insignificant, needy, and helpless servant?

My God, my Lord, my Master, and my Protector, which of my troubles should I complain of to You, and for which should I cry and weep: the pain and severity of the punishment, or the length and duration of the affliction?

If You place me among Your enemies for punishment, gather me with those who suffer Your chastisement, and separate me from Your loved ones and friends—

Then suppose, my God, my Master, my Protector, and my Lord, that I endure Your punishment; how could I endure separation from You?

And suppose I endure the heat of Your fire; how could I bear being unable to behold Your generosity? How could I remain in the fire while my hope rests in Your pardon?

By Your glory, my Master and Protector, I swear truthfully: if You leave me able to speak, I will cry out to You among its people with the cry of those who still hope.

I will call to You with the call of those pleading for help, and I will weep for You as one who has lost a beloved.

I will call to You: Where are You, O Guardian of the believers, O highest hope of those who know You, O aid of those who seek help, O Beloved of truthful hearts, O God of all worlds?

Can it be, my God—glory and praise be to You—that You hear there the voice of a submitted servant, imprisoned for disobedience, tasting punishment for sin, and confined between its layers for his offense and crime?

While he cries to You as one hoping for Your mercy, calls upon You in the language of those who affirm Your oneness, and appeals to You through Your Lordship?

My Protector, how could he remain in punishment while he hopes in Your former forbearance?

How could the fire cause him pain while he looks forward to Your grace and mercy?

How could its flames burn him while You hear his voice and see his place?

How could its roaring surround him while You know his weakness?

How could he be tossed among its layers while You know his sincerity?

How could its keepers drive him away while he calls to You, ‘My Lord’?

How could he hope in Your grace for release from it, yet You leave him there?

Far be it from You! This is not what we expect of You, nor what is known of Your grace, nor does it resemble the kindness and goodness with which You treat those who affirm Your oneness.

I know with certainty that, were it not for Your judgment to punish those who deny You and Your decree that the defiant remain there, You would make the whole fire cool and peaceful, and no one would have a dwelling or station within it.

But You—holy are Your names—have sworn to fill it with disbelievers from among jinn and humankind together, and to keep the obstinate there forever.

And You—exalted is Your praise—declared from the beginning, graciously bestowing favor: ‘Is one who believes like one who defiantly disobeys? They are not equal.’

My God and my Master, I ask You by the power You have ordained, by the decree You have made final and judged, and by which You have overcome all upon whom You have imposed it—

That on this night and at this hour You forgive every offense I have committed, every sin I have done, every ugly act I have concealed, and every ignorant deed I have practiced—whether I kept it secret or made it public, hid it or revealed it.

And every evil deed You commanded the noble scribes to record—those You appointed to preserve what proceeds from me and made witnesses over me together with my limbs.

Yet You were the watcher over me beyond them and the witness to what remained hidden from them; by Your mercy You concealed it, and by Your grace You covered it.

And grant me an abundant share of every good You send down, every favor You bestow, every kindness You spread, every provision You expand, every sin You forgive, and every error You conceal.

O Lord, O Lord, O Lord! My God, my Master, my Protector, and Owner of my being; O You in whose hand is my destiny, O Knower of my distress and helplessness, O One fully aware of my poverty and need.

O Lord, O Lord, O Lord! I ask You by Your truth, Your holiness, and Your greatest attributes and names to fill my hours of night and day with Your remembrance, connect them to Your service, and accept my deeds before You.

So that all my actions and regular devotions become one continuous devotion, and my state in Your service remains everlasting.

My Master, O You upon whom I rely, O You to whom I have complained of my condition.

O Lord, O Lord, O Lord! Strengthen my limbs for Your service, make my inward resolve firm, grant me earnestness in reverence for You, and constancy in remaining connected to Your service.

So that I may advance toward You in the fields of the forerunners, hasten to You among those who excel, long for Your nearness among the yearning, draw close like the sincere, stand in awe like those with certainty, and gather near You with the believers.

O Allah, turn back anyone who intends evil against me, and counter anyone who schemes against me.

Make me among Your servants who receive the finest share from You, who hold the nearest rank to You, and who enjoy the closest place in Your presence, for none of this can be attained except through Your grace.

Be generous to me from Your bounty, incline toward me in Your majesty, guard me through Your mercy, keep my tongue constant in Your remembrance, and make my heart captivated by Your love.

Favor me with Your gracious answer, lift me after my stumble, and forgive my slip.

For You have required Your servants to worship You, commanded them to pray to You, and guaranteed them an answer.

So toward You, my Lord, I have turned my face, and toward You, my Lord, I have stretched out my hands.

By Your glory, answer my prayer, let me reach my hope, do not cut off my expectation of Your grace, and protect me from the evil of my enemies among jinn and humankind.

O You who are swift to be pleased, forgive one who possesses nothing but prayer, for You do whatever You will.

O You whose name is medicine, whose remembrance is healing, and whose obedience is wealth, have mercy on one whose only capital is hope and whose weapon is weeping.

O Bestower of abundant blessings, O Repeller of calamities, O Light of those made lonely in darkness, O Knower who needs no teaching.

Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and deal with me as befits You. May Allah bless His Messenger and the blessed Imams of his family, and grant them abundant peace.
