Oh Allah.. I need You...

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
