Dua'a-e-Allahummah Asleh

TRANSLATION:

O Allah! Reform conditions of Your servant and caliph with those means by which You have reformed conditions of Your messengers and prophets. Surround him with the angels and support him with the Holy Spirit. Appoint protectors from the front and behind him, (those) who would guard him from all troubles and calamities. Convert his fear into security, (so that) he may worship only You and doesn't associate anybody with You. Do not make any of Your creatures an authority over Your vicegerent. Permit him to fight against Your enemies and his enemies and include me among his helpers. Surely You possess power over everything.

Dua-e-Ahad

Imam Sadiq (a.s) narrates that “one who recites this supplication for 40 mornings; he will be accounted amongst the helpers of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s). And if he happens to die before the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s), Allah will raise him up from his rave so that he may assist the holy Imam (a.t.f.s).For every word that he recites in this supplication, Allah will grant him 1000 good deeds and will erase from his scroll of deeds 1000 sins”.

As the title suggests, this supplication is of allegiance (ahad) to the holy Imam (a.t.f.s). Its recitation every morning ensures the renewal of this covenant. The reciter finds himself under the leadership of Imam (a.t.f.s).The reciter beseeches All to include him among the helpers and aides of Imam (a.t.f.s) and to grant him the opportunity to attain martyrdom in his presence. Also, he requests Allah that should he die before the reappearance of Imam (a.t.f.s). Allah should raise him up from his grave so that he may assist him (a.t.f.s) in his mission. 

There is a fervent appeal to Allah to grant him the honour of seeing Imam (a.t.f.s). In this there is also an acknowledgement that the difficulties of this nation can be solved only by the reappearance of Imam (a.t.f.s) and that believers see it as being close while others deem it to be distant

Dua'a Ahad
TRANSLATION:

O Allah! Lord of the Great Light, Lord of the Elevated Throne, Lord of the tumultuous seas, and the revealer of the Tawrah, Injeel, and Zaboor, Lord of the shadows and the warmths, And the revealer of the Great Quran. Lord of the proximate angels and prophets and messengers. O Allah I beseech thee, for the sake of Your Nobel Visage. And for the sake of Your Enlightening Visage, and Your ever existing kingdom. O Ever Living! O Controller! I beseech Thee in Your Name which lits the heavens and the earths; and in Your Name, by which the ancient and the latter ones become upright. O Ever living who has before every living being. O Ever Living Who shall (exist) after every living being. O Ever Living Who existed when there was no life. O Giver of life to dead. O One Who causes death to the living one. O Ever Living. There is no god except Thou. O Allah send our master the leader, the guide, the guided, the upriser with Your command. Blessings of Allah be on him and his pure forefathers from all the believing men and believing women. In the easts of the earth and it's wests, in its plains and its mountains, its lands and its seas, from me and my parents. Blessings, which are the weight of Allah's throne and ink of His words, and whatever His knowledge enumerates and His book encompases. O Allah renew for him my covenant, pledge and allegiance on my neck in the morning of this day of mine and whatever days (of my life) I live. I shall never turn away from it nor let it ever vanish. O Allah appoint me among his helpers, aides, and his protectors. Those who hasten to fulfill his commands and obey his orders. Those who are his supporters and compete with each other to (fulfill) his intention and seek martyrdom in his presence. O Allah! If death occurs between me and him (before the reappearance) (death) which you have made obligatory and decreed for your servants, then raise me from my grave, wrapped in my shroud, my sword unsheathed, my spear bared, answering the call of the caller in cities as well as deserts. O Allah! Show me the rightly guided face of (Imam a.s.), the praiseworthy moon (referring to the face of Imam a.s.) and enlighten my vision by looking at him. And hasten his reappearance, make his arrival smooth, vasten his path, make me tread on his way and implement his authority and strengthen his back. O Allah inhabit Your cities through him and give life to Your servants due to him for surely You have said and Your word is truth, "Corruption will become rampant in land and on sea because of the evil which men's hand have earned" Then O Allah manifest for us Your slave and the son of Your Prophet's daughter, whose name is the same as that of Your messenger, so that nothing from falsehood is victorious except that he tears them (falsehood) to pieces, establishes the truth and the truth confirms him. And O Allah! Appoint him as a refuge for Your oppressed servants and a helper for the one who does not find any helper for himself except You and the renewer of all the laws of Your book which have been tampered with and the rebuilder of the science of Your religion and the traditions of Your Prophet (peace of Allah be on him and his progeny) and O Allah! make him among those whom you have protected from the evils of the adversaries. O Allah! and provide joy to Your Prophet Mohammed (peace be on him and his progeny) by his vision and (the vision of) the one who follows him on his call and have mercy on our poverty after his arrival O Allah remove his sorrow (of occultation) from this nation with his presence and hasten for us his reappearance. They (the disbelievers) consider it to be distant while we consider it to be near. For the sake of Your mercy, O the most Merciful of all Mercifuls.

Then one should gently strike his right thigh with his palm and say.

Hasten! Hasten! O my Master, O Master of the era.

Best Way to Acquire Divine Proximity

Best Way to Acquire Divine Proximity

 Allah has created man for worship. He has made His worship and servitude as a means of progress and perfection for man. Man must rise above material perfections and accomplishments and endeavor to attain true perfection, – which is nothing but proximity with the Creator. Traditions reveal that the recommended prayers (nawaafil) are one important medium to achieve divine proximity. Through recommended prayers the worshipper becomes so pure and attains such a high degree of proximity to His Creator that he begins to see with Allah’s Eyes, speak with Allah’s Tongue and hear with Allah’s Ears. In other words, the worshipper witnesses only what Allah wishes Him to witness. He speaks only what is in conformity with Allah’s satisfaction and He only lends his ears to talks that have divine approval. 

Let us refl ect a little and see what actions will give us access to Allah’s Satisfaction and Pleasure and enable us to attain the high degree of proximity that we have highlighted above.    

Faith (Eemaan)

All our actions are accepted on the basis of correct faith. Deliverance in this world and the hereafter is subject to true faith. However, when we assess our faith, we realize that it is weak and lacks the most essential criteria for its acceptance. The most basic level of faith is intense attachment with worship and an equal repulsion for Allah’s disobedience. Traditions reveal that when one witnesses a sin, while he does not disapprove it and does not detest it with his heart, then such a person is a living corpse. In today’s so-called advanced age, we are witness to so many sins, yet we do not sense any repulsion in ourselves, and our hearts do not despise the prevailing immoral conditions in our society. Today our condition is such that we fear everyone and everything except Allah. Allah declares in Surah Hadeed:

16 ‘Has not the time yet come for those who believe that their hearts should
be humble for the remembrance of Allah?’ Indeed the time has come.

Ethics (Akhlaq)

Akhlaq is the ornament of Islam. It is for the perfection of morals that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was raised by Allah. But when we evaluate our own akhlaq, we find it totally contrary to the immaculate akhlaq of our beloved Prophet (s.a.w.a.).  

Deeds (Aamaal)

When we look at our deeds, we seem satisfied with them. However, acceptance of our deeds is another matter altogether. For acceptance of deeds, correct intention (niyyat) is vital and the most important criterion for correct intention is sincerity (ikhlaas). Sincerity has been defined as performing deeds without anticipating any praise and appreciation from the
creatures, nor fearing anyone’s condemnation and accusation. However, today our condition is such that we consider praise and appreciation a birthright and we feel humiliated if our deeds are not acknowledged.

  Then under these circumstances, how can one attain divine proximity and how does one make himself eligible for deliverance? These are the concerns that we always need to keep in mind before we assess ourselves. However, we find in ourselves nothing that will make us eligible for divine proximity and mercy. We are overwhelmed with fear and hopelessness. The darkness of despair grips our hearts. Under such circumstances, there is a faint ray of light that pierces the gloom in our hearts. This is the light of the love and Wilayat of Ahle Bait (a.s.). The light of their love enters our existence because we find satisfaction in their satisfaction and we experience grief in their grief.   

However, love and attachment are not established only by a few verbal claims.  Love demands that the lover inculcates in himself the qualities and traits of his beloved. Love necessitates obedience and sacrifice. Then we need to ask ourselves how often we have fulfilled the demand of obedience and sacrifice in our love of the Ahle Bait (a.s.).  

The more we search for these traits in ourselves, the more distressed we get, and there is nothing in our hearts except shame. 

Finally, we discover a very important path towards divine proximity. Treading on this path has indescribable benefits and innumerable rewards. The conditions to tread on this path are easy and the advantages are boundless. Even our intention in this regard is pure, our sentiment is strong, we do not anticipate any praise and appreciation with regards to it, nor are  we subdued with any condemnation and criticism. That path is the love and
attachment towards the grandson of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), the chief of the youths of Paradise, the apple of Janabe Zahra’s (s.a.) eye and the tranquility of Ameerul Momeneen’s (a.s.) heart, the brother of Imam Hasan Mujtaba (a.s.) – the Chief of the Martyrs, Imam Husain Ibne Ali (a.s.), may our souls be sacrificed for him.

  Even a little reflection on this love and attachment towards Imam Husain (a.s.) is sufficient to make us realize that this enormous bounty was not granted to us on merit, rather it is among those bounties that Allah gives to ‘whomsoever He pleases’. The infallibles (a.s.) themselves declare, ‘Our Shias have been created from our excellent soil (teenat). They see joy in our joy and experience grief in our grief.’ 

 A tear shed on Imam Husain (a.s.) is apparently only a drop of water, but is sufficient to ignite a complete transformation in man. A single tear can revolutionize a man’s belief, akhlaq and deeds to such an extent that others around him will be amazed at the development.  

Dear brothers in Islam, protect this grief and sorrow for Imam Husain (a.s.) in the best possible manner and never let the flame of this lamp ever extinguish. Always beseech Allah to increase the intensity of this love and to sustain the restlessness of the hearts. Indeed the tribulations of Imam Husain (a.s.) have distressed the entire world, the skies, the residents of the earth, the residents of the heavens, the angels, the Apostles, Allah’s slaves, the  successors (of Prophets), the martyrs, the testifiers and the virtuous ones. They are all heart-wrenched at his martyrdom and are anguished at the enormous trials that he was made to undergo.

  Come let us get some idea of these trials from Imam Husain’s (a.s.) last son – Imam-e-Asr (a.t.f.s.), who has described Imam Husain’s (a.s.) difficulties in a most eloquent and melancholic manner. Let us read Imam-e-Asr’s (a.t.f.s.) narrative in this regard and at the same time offer him our condolences on the martyrdom of his grandfather – Imam Husain (a.s.). Peace be upon the beard that was colored with blood, Peace be upon the dust-smeared cheeks, Peace be upon the bodies that were robbed of clothes,  Peace be upon the lips that were struck with a cane, Peace be upon the one whose head was raised on a lance,Peace be upon the corpses that were abandoned on the
battlefield without shrouds, It is most distressing for me that I was not present with you and could not assist you and could not combat your enemies alongside you, So now I can only cry for you morning and night and shed blood instead of tears.

The tyrants had engulfed you from all sides and each one of them was inflicting lethal blows upon you. The enemy had blocked the path between you and your family. At that moment you found no helper and assistant. But you were patient and did your best to protect your women and children. Till such a time that the enemies pulled you down from your mount. You descended on the earth while your body was mortally wounded. Your body was pounded below the horses’ hooves. The enemy sustained its attack upon you. The perspiration of death appeared on your forehead. You were gasping for breath. Your eyes were affixed towards your tents. In such a condition, your mount – Zul Janah rushed towards the tents, neighing loudly. When the women of your household saw Zul Janah without you, while the saddle had slipped off its back, they started wailing loudly and came out of their tents.

They advanced towards the battlefield. Meanwhile Shimr (l.a.) mounted astride your chest. He began rubbing his dagger across your neck. He caught hold of your pure hair with his filthy hands. He was severing your head. While the ladies of your household beheld this spectacle with intense remorse and utmost grief. You stopped breathing. Your severed head was raised on the lance.  The ladies of your household were arrested. Like prisoners they were shackled in heavy chains. 

                                                        (Ziarate Nahiyyah)

 O Allah, for the sake of the elevated station of the Ahle Bait (a.s.), curse and disgrace all those who sought to pull the Ahle Bait (a.s.) down from this elevated station and all those who prepared grounds for the oppression and tyranny against the Ahle Bait (a.s.) and all those who supported this oppression and are supporting it even today! Descend Your limitless wrath and chastisement upon all of them till the Day of Judgment! And O Allah! Hasten the reappearance of the successor of Imam Husain (a.s.) and give us a position in his army to avenge the martyrdom of Imam Husain (a.s.). Ameen!

Dua Alqamah / Dua after Ziarat Ashura

Dua after Ziarat Ashura

In some books of supplication, this supplication is referred to as "Dua Alqamah" named after the companion of Imam Sadiq (a), Alqamah. However, Shaykh Abbas Qummi (qs) quotes very clear traditions in mafatih al-jinan that Imam Sadiq (a) recited this dua in the presence of the companion Safwan, not Alqamah. Therefore, the correct name of this supplication is "Dua to be recited after Ziyarat-e-Ashura" or "Dua Safwan"

I direct myself towards Thee, through them, in my address, through them I try to get a hearing, through them I put forward my case to get Thy favours, in their names I make a request to Thee; bound to Thee by oat, living a life according to Thy commands, I carry out my pledge by every means, in the name of the love and devotion Thou has for them, and the influence and status they enjoy in every dimension of Thy will, the superior most pre-eminence in wisdom and character Thou bestowed upon them to transcend above everything in the whole universe, in the name of Thy name Thou revealed to them in trust, on account of which Thou chose them in preference over everything found in the heavens and the earths, through which Thou built their syndrome, developed to perfection their surpassing excellence in knowledge, learning and deeds, out of all the rest of the people, till their completeness surpassed the total achievement of all the people put together; I request Thee to send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad; (and) look into the causes of my sorrows, anxieties, burdens, and do away with them, let me be equal to, sufficiently instructed, while dealing with my important enterprises and efforts, (and) carry out and fulfil my obligations, set me free from the clutches of poverty and from the pangs of hunger, let me have enough to live upon, free from the need to turn to others, let me be an adequate match for him who, I am afraid, shall create trouble, thwart the schemes of the one who, I am afraid, shall treat me harshly, let him, who, I am afraid, shall vex me, come to grief, expose and rebuke him, who, I am afraid, shall slander me, layout a plan to defeat him, who, I and afraid, shall try to deceive me by stratagem, take notice and act swiftly against him, who, I am afraid, shall treat me unjustly, take me into Thy custody to keep safe from the one who, I am afraid, shall tyrannize me, exercise Thy supreme authority to keep  him in check, who, I am afraid, shall rule over me, outwit him, who, I am afraid, shall lay traps to deceive me cunningly, make ready a fitting reply to him who, I am afraid, shall oppress me; keep off from me the obstinate deceit of the vindictive malicious, and the crafty artifice of the cunning imposter. O my Allah put an end to the intentions of him who desires to destroy me, outwit him who makes plans, keep off from me his deceit and intrigue, his hostility and fancy, keep me aloof, refusing to have anything to do with him, in whatever manner, on any occasion, as Thou wills. O my Allah divert his attention from me and involve him in his own over bearing anxieties which Thou will not cut down, in misfortune which Thou will not make easy to deal with, in waywardness from which Thou will not lead him back on the right path, in spiritless laziness which Thou will never change into fruitful activity, infamy and disgrace from which Thou will not allow him to rise to the surface, in broken fortune which Thou will not let get set. O my Allah let contemptible disgrace stick like a leech on the forehead between his two eyes, expose him to emptiness in every effort he makes, let wicked inclination, distraction and inactivity cut deep into his body and soul, in order that Thou diverts his attention from, me, absorbed in his own pursuits that do not free him to employ himself at another, make him think no more of me as he has willfully neglected and forgotten Thee, take away from me and throw overboard his attention, interest, communication, influence, support, and perverted thinking every evil he commits or draws it on himself, let everything he does go waste, defective and incomplete, and do not give any letup so that he is kept fully preoccupied and gets no time to pay attention to me or think of me. Give enough to me, O He who effectively and completely gives satisfaction. There is no one other than Thee who gives sufficiently, because Thou alone gives enough, no one else gives to the seeker’s satisfaction except Thee. Thou dispels the clouds of sorrows, no one else, save Thee can free the grief-stricken from cares. Thou comes to help, no one else, except Thee, can do a favour when called for help. Thou art near, ready to avert the danger, no one else, save Thee, is close enough to stand by in the hour of trouble. Comes to grief he who relies upon his own friends instead of Thee; or looks for his own supporters in place of Thee; frightened, cries for help having some one else other than Thee in mind; terrorized, runs away from the danger to a place of escape outside of Thy guaranty, and takes refuge in an asylum not watched over by Thee; and tries to bring himself to a place of safety through the help of created beings, excluding Thee, the Creator, Therefore, Thou art my trust, my hope, my retreat, my refuge, my security, unto which one can run for safety, for this reason I call for thy help, and seek Thy support to carry out my affairs easily and successfully, through Muhammad and the children of Muhammad I present myself before Thee, try to draw Thy attention and ask for salvation. So I beseech Thee, O Allah! O Allah! O Allah! Because (all) praise is for Thee (alone), and also prostration in thankfulness, thou alone listens to complaints, Thou alone is called upon for help. So I beseech Thee, O Allah! O Allah! O Allah! In the name of Muhammad and the children of Muhammad to send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, to put to flight the sorrows, the anxieties, the burdens, now surrounding me from all sides, just as Thou made Thy Prophet free of his sorrows, anxieties and burden, and saved him from the terror of his enemies, in such manner as Thou made him to do so, let me also do the same, let me be free of care as Thou gave him joy, heart and confidence, let me have enough and be contended as Thou gave him sufficiently. Send away from me the terror that frightens me, the encumbrance that I find burdensome, the anxieties that wear me down, freeing me from their impact. Make me use my means freely to carry out and complete my business or employment, and do anything requisite instead of another, which may make me anxious about my affairs in this world or the hereafter. O Ameerul-Mu’mineen! O Abaa Abdullah! So far I am live and the days and nights follow each other I invoke Allah to send blessings on you forever and ever. May Allah not make my this pledge of physical and spiritual close association with you (both) the last fulfillment, and may Allah not separate me and you (both) from one another. O my Allah let me have a meaningful existence as Muhammad his descendants had lived, and die as they departed from this world, take to and carry out completely their creed; and raise me for the last judgement alongwith the people dedicated to them, and do not cut (us) in two (groups), even for the flash of an eyelid, ever, either in this world or in the life of the hereafter. O Ameerul Moomineen! O Abaa Abdullah! I come nearer to (you both) to establish close physical and spiritual relationship, and thereby seek nearness to Allah, my lord Nourishes and your lord Nourisher, through you I direct myself towards Him, and request you to speak in favour of my immediate at hand needs and wants I have put before Allah. So please speak well of me because, of course, with Allah your thoughtful judgement is highly credible, your disposition enjoys conclusive preference, your action keeps step with precise acumen, and a sure means of approach to gain His favour. I looked for and went through all possibilities and finally brought myself over to you in the hope of obtaining, speedily and successfully, fulfillment of my demands, their final settlement and favourable execution by Allah on account of your recommendations on my behalf to get Allah’s approval. So, let not my “seeing the light” be a bitter and “fallen short” change of heart, but make my “accepting the true faith” resolution a turning point leading to preference and full satisfaction in the matter of the disposal of my wants and needs; and direct me to bring myself over to that which Allah wills and commands. (because) there is no power and no might save Allah. I commit my case to Allah, anything neglected or taking place behind my back shall be taken care of Allah, I entrust Allah with the management of my affairs, and say: Allah is sufficient and enough, Allah pays attention to whoso makes a request to Him, there is nothing for me in that which is on the other side (in opposition) of Allah, and you, O my leaders, ultimately that which my lord Nourisher wills takes place, and happens not that which He wills not. There is no power and no might save in Allah. Unto you (both) I have come with love and affection, motivated under Divine incentive. May Allah not make my this pledge of physical and spiritual close association with you (both) the last fulfillment. I take advantage O my leader, O Ameerul Moomineen, O my friend to whom I have surrendered, body and soul, and you O Abaa Abdullah, O my leader, and pay respects with love and affection, nonstop, (till) do not carry embracing days and nights, closely embracing it, to you, if Allah so wills, without ever being separated, in your names I beseech Him, that He wills it and does it because verily it is He who alone is praised, and he brings about beautiful things. I see the light and bring myself over to you, accepting the true faith, sorry for my earlier ignorance, thankful to Allah, always hopeful of getting His favour, never giving into despair, nor losing heart, ever ready to be near you, coming back again and again to see you, never “not longing” for your nearness, but, if Allah so wills, shall be always in your neighborhood as and everyday habit. There is no power and no might save in Allah. O my leaders I long for you and love to be in your company though the worldly people looked at it with indifference and kept aloof from your friendly intercourse. May not Allah let me fall short of in that which I hope for and in that which I look long and attentively to establish everlasting reunion with you. Verily He is near and gives positive answer to prayers.

O Allah, terrible was the calamity, and its evil consequences are visible, the covering has been removed, (all) hopes have been cut off, the (plentiful) earth has shrunk (with very little to spare), the heavenly blessings have been withheld. You alone can help, we refer our grief and sorrow to You, we have full faith in You, in the time of distress, as well as in good fortune. O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, whom we must obey as per Your command, through which we become aware of their rank and status, and let there be joy after sorrow for us, for their sake, right away, in the twinkle of an eye, more rapidly than that. O Muhammad, O Ali, O Ali, O Muhammad, Give me enough, because both of you provide sufficiently. Help me, because both of you help and protect.
O our master, O the living Imam, HELP! HELP! HELP!Reach me! Reach me! Reach me!
At once, in this hour. Be quick, be quick, be quick, O the most merciful, for the sake of Muhammad and his pure children.
