Oh Allah.. Lord of the worlds…
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Oh Allah.. You DO NOT need my praises and
acknowledgment. But I do need your acknowledgement to my submission and
praises to You. You DO NOT gain or benefit if I (or any of Your
creatures) praise You, NOR DO You encounter loss or detriment if I (or
any of your creatures) refuse to praise You. Only with You will I be
honoured. Only with You I do exist.
Oh Allah.. All Praises is due to You. No
one can praise You to the best You deserve; You are as You have praised
and complimented Yourself. Oh Lord of Might and Honour!
Oh Allah.. Please send Your Peace and
Blessings to Your most beloved and chosen Prophet; Habibi Muhammad,
anytime he is remembered or forgotten; to his family members; and to all
his companions.
Oh Allah.. If I have ever offended anyone
(and many are they), please grant that person you Forgiveness. Oh
Allah.. Please grant your Forgiveness to my offenders (should there be
any). Oh Allah.. Please entitle me for Your Mercy and Forgiveness. For
You are the Most Beneficent,
the Most Merciful and the Most Forgiving.
Oh Lord of the worlds!
Oh Allah.. Lord of Might and Honour, I
ask You [with Your Might]; that You do not set me for a new day or to
meet any of your creatures until you have purified my heart from
jealousy, hatred, hostility, enmity and all kinds of heart diseases,
just as you clear my body and mind from all fatigues before every
sunrise.. Oh Lord of the worlds!
Oh Allah.. Your provisions for me are
endless without me asking for them. Whenever I raise my poor hands up to
You, You never turn them down empty. Hence, I have come to a state of
shyness to ask, since I am certain You know my needs.
Oh Allah.. I will not allow that shyness
to prevent me from humbly asking
for more, of something you have already
granted me; YOUR LOVE! (and the LOVE FOR YOU!). Oh Allah I seek from
You, Your LOVE, the LOVE for Your Prophet, may Your Peace and Blessings
be upon him and his family, the LOVE for anyone who loves You, and the
LOVE for any deed that will get me closer and closer to You, Oh Lord of
the worlds!
Oh Allah.. Many are those who have been,
and are kind to me. I do not even know some of them, and You know those I
know, more than I do. I will be unfair to them if I seek from You a
specific reward for them. Who am I, and how do I?! Oh Allah.. I seek
from You a grant of BEST REWARD for each of them.
Oh Allah.. Those would have not been
honoured to do those good deeds for your sake, towards me, if I have not
been honoured with your two servants (my parents). Oh Allah.. Please
help me to be kind to them, serve them, sacrifice my life for them, live
for them, and be the one to hear their last voice and fulfill their
final request(s).. Oh Lord of the worlds!
Oh Allah.. I am a weak servant of You.. I
am meant to be weak. I am grateful to be created weak by the One Who
takes care of the weak. Oh Allah.. Please provide me with the strength
to worship You and to live for You.
Oh Allah.. I am a poor and needy servant
of You. But knowing that You are the All-Rich, gives me a peace of mind,
and turns my poverty into richness. So Yaa Allah.. Please grant me the
wealth of KNOWING YOU, LOVING YOU, AND SERVING YOU WITH PRIDE. Oh Lord
of the worlds!
Oh Allah.. My heart rusts and hardens
easily. Please soften it for me with the remembrance of You at all
times. Oh Lord of the worlds!
Oh Allah.. My sins are uncountable and
huge each, (which only You know them all). The more of them I commit the
more You hide them for me, from the eyes of others. Oh Allah.. If You
have hidden them from the eyes of Your creatures here in this world.. I
seek refuge in the Highness of Your Face from Your Anger, and I humbly
ask You to hide them from Your creatures in the Hereafter. Oh Lord of
the worlds!
Oh Allah.. I’m not asking you, in order
to remind You of what you have forgotten, nor to inform You of what You
know not, for You are All-Knowing, All-Hearing. Oh Allah.. I am rather
humbly asking and supplicating to show, with pride, my humble submission
to You, the One and the Only. Oh Lord of the worlds!
Oh Allah.. I have never asked You or made
a wish, unless you have granted my wish and answered my request. For
that, Yaa Allah (the One Who answers to all calls), please grant me YOUR
PARADISE and the COMPANY of Your Beloved; HABIBI MUHAMMAD, may Your
Peace and Blessings be upon him and his family at all times.
Oh Allah.. I believe.. I believe.. I believe..
Oh Allah.. Only You know that I believe..
I believe in Your Oneness.. I bear
witness in the Prophecy of Your Beloved; Habibi Muhammad, may Your Peace
and Blessings be upon him and his family at all times…
Oh Allah.. I believe.. I believe.. I believe..
Oh Allah.. Only You know that I believe..
I believe.. You are Allah, beside Whom
none has the right to be worshipped but You, the All-Knower of the
unseen and the seen. You are the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Oh Allah.. I believe.. I believe.. I believe..
Oh Allah.. Only You know that I believe..
I believe.. You are Allah beside Whom
none has the right to be worshipped but You, the King, the Holy, the One
Free from all defects, the Giver of security, the Watcher over His
creatures, the All-Mighty, the Compeller, the Supreme. Glory be to [You]
Allah! High are You above all
that they associate as partners with You.
Oh Allah.. I believe.. I believe.. I believe..
Oh Allah.. Only You know that I believe..
I believe.. You are Allah, the Creator,
the Inventor of all things, the Bestower of forms. To You belong the
Best Names [Asmaul-Husna] . All that is in the heavens and the earth
glorify You. And You are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.
Oh Allah.. Anyone who reads this
submission and says “Ameen”, please grant him too, all the wishes and
honour in this supplication. Oh Lord of the worlds…
Ameen
