25th
Muharram
We offer our condolence on the 25th Muharram, the year of martyrdom of
Imam Zain-ul-Abedeen, the fourth Imam of the Shias. On this occasion, we
shall glance over this Imam’s sayings, perhaps becoming among the
fortunate in implementing these invaluable sayings.
His Supplication (A.S), In Asking Pardon For Misdeeds To ALLAH’S Servant
And For Falling Short In Their Rights And That His Neck Be Set Free From
The Fire.
O Allah, I ask pardon from thee for the person wronged in my presence
whom I did not help, the favor conferred upon me for which I returned no
thanks, the evildoer who asked pardon from me and whom I did not pardon,
the needy person who asked from me and whom I preferred not over myself,
the right of a believer who possesses a right incumbent upon me which I
did not fulfill, the fault of a believer which became evident to me and
which I did not conceal, and every sin which presented itself to me and
which I failed to avoid.
I ask pardon, my God, for all of these and their likes, with an asking
of pardon in remorse which may act as an admonisher against similar
thing ahead of me.
So bless MUHAMMED and his Household and make my remorse4 for the slips
into which I have fallen and my determination to refrain from the evil
deeds which present themselves to me a repentance which will make Thy
love for me obligatory, O lover of those who repent!
