His Supplication in Seeking Refuge
His Supplication in Seeking Refuge
from Hateful Things, Bad Moral Qualities, and Blameworthy Acts
|
1 |
O God, I seek refuge in Thee
from the agitation of
craving,
the violence of wrath,
the domination of envy,
the frailty of patience,
the lack of contentment,
surliness of character,
urgency of passion,
the disposition to vehemence,
|
2 |
following caprice,77
opposing guidance,
the sleep of heedlessness,
undertaking the toilsome,
preferring falsehood over
truth,
persisting in sin,
making little of
disobedience,
making much of obedience, |
3 |
vying with the wealthy,
disparaging the poor,
guarding badly over those in
our hands,
failing to thank those who
have done good to us, |
4 |
aiding a wrongdoer,
abandoning someone troubled,
wanting what is not
rightfully ours,
and speaking about knowledge
without knowing. |
5 |
We seek refuge in Thee from
harbouring dishonesty toward
anyone,
being pleased with our works,
and stretching out our
expectations. |
6 |
We seek refuge in Thee from
ill-mindedness,
looking down on the small,
Satan's gaining mastery over
us,
time's afflicting us,
and the sovereign's
oppressing us. |
7 |
We seek refuge in Thee from
acting with prodigality
and not having sufficiency. |
8 |
We seek refuge in Thee from
the gloating of enemies,
indigent need for equals,
living in hardship,
and dying without readiness. |
9 |
We seek refuge in Thee from
the most dreadful remorse,
the greatest affliction,
the most wretched
wretchedness,
the evil end to the journey,
the deprivation of reward,
and the advent of punishment.
|
10 |
O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household
and through Thy mercy, give
to me refuge from all of that,
and to all the faithful, both men and women!
O Most Merciful of the
merciful! |
