DU’AA FOR FORGIVENESS AND HEAVY SCALES

 

اَللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِيْ ذَنْبِۢيْ، وَاخْسِئْ شَيْطَانِيْ، وَ فُكَّ رِهَانِيْ، وَثَقِّلْ مِيْزَانِيْ، وَاجْعَلْنِيْ فِي النَّدِيِّ الْأَعْلىٰ ـ

 

Allahummagh-fir lii dhambii, wakh-si’ shaytaanii, wa fukka rihaanii, wa thaqqil miizaanii, waj-‘alnii fin-nadiyyil-‘a’laa. (Abu al-Azhar al-Anmari. Sunan Abi Dawud #4395; Ibid. Mustadrak Hakim #182/1982)

 

O Allah, forgive my sins, expel my Shaytan, and redeem my pledge. Make my scales heavy and make me from among the highest class (in the Hereafter).

 

~~~Ameen~~~

 

my Shaytan: any shaytan from the jinns or humans who targets the person making this du’aa.

 

redeem my pledge: This refers to the verse: “Every man is in pledge for his deeds” (At-Tur, 52:21). So the du’aa is that we discharge all our obligations toward Allah Ta’aala and His creations so our pledge is redeemed.

 

highest class: the group of the highest ranking angels in the court of Allah. The du’aa is for getting their company.

Allaahumma qinii ‘adhaabaka yawma tab’athu ‘ibaadak. (Hafsah Sunan Abi Dawud #4388)

 

O Allah, save me from Your punishment on the day You raise Your servants to life again.

 

~~~Ameen~~~

 

Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallem) used to say this du’aa after the salaat.

اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمٰوٰتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا أَظَلَّتْ، وَرَبَّ الْأَرَضِيْنَ وَ مَا أَقَلَّتْ، وَرَبَّ الشَّيَاطِيْنِ وَمَا أَضَلَّتْ، كُنْ لِّيْ جَارًا مِّنْ شَّرِّ خَلْقِكَ أَجْمَعِيْنَ أَنْ يَّفْرُ طَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ مِّنْهُمْ أَوْ أَنْ يَّطْغٰى، عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَتَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ ــ

(Khalid ibn al-Walid.Majma’ az-Zawa’id #17063)

 

O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and whatever comes under their shadows. Lord of the earths and whatever they bear. Lord of the devils and whatever they mislead. Be a Protector for me from the mischiefs of Your entire creation lest any of them do evil or oppress me. Strong is Your protection and blessed is Your name.

 

~~~Ameen~~~

 

This du’aa was taught to Sayyidna Khalid ibn al-Walid (ra) by Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallem) to cure his insomnia.

When faced with controversies and confusions, we seek Allah’s help to get a clear vision of the reality. A person earnestly resorting to this du’a is also protected from the ego trips which lead even the knowledgeable people astray in the heat of controversies.

DU'AA FOR LIGHT

 

 

Allaahummaj-‘al fii qalbii nuura(n) wa fii basarii nuura(n), wa fii sam’ii nuura(n), wa ‘an yamiinii nuura(n), wa ‘an shimaalii nuura(n), wa khalfii nuura(n), wa min amaamii nuura(n), waj-‘al lii nuura(n), wa fii ‘asaabii nuura(n), wa fii lahmii nuura(n),  wa fii damii nuura(n), wa fii sha’rii nuura(n), wa fii basharii nuura(n), wa fii lisaanii nuura(n), waj-‘al fii nafsii nuura(n), wa a’zmi lii nuura(n), waj-‘alnii nuura(n), waj-‘al min fawqii nuura(n), wa min tahtii nuura(n), Allaahumma a’tinii nuura. (‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas. Sahih al-Bukhari #5841; Sahih Muslim #1279)

 

O Allah, put Light in my heart, Light in my sight, Light in my hearing, Light to my right, Light to my left, Light behind me, and Light in front of me. (O Allah,) bestow upon me Light. (O Allah,) put Light in my muscles, Light in my flesh, Light in my blood, Light in my hair, Light in my skin, Light in my tongue, and Light in my soul. Make my Light great and make me all Light. And put Light above me and Light below me. O Allah, give me Light.

 

~~~Ameen~~~

 

According to the ahadith, this du’aa should be made while going to the masjid for Fajr salat. The darkness of the surroundings at that time reminds us of the general darkness of the human condition. Those who wake up and walk to the masjid at this time are true seekers of light. We seek it from Allah Ta’aala, as He is the only source of light. There is no light and there is no enlightenment without Him. “And he for whom Allah has not appointed light, for him there is no light” (An Nur, 24:40).

Allaahummaf-tah lanaa abwaaba rahmatik(a), wa sahhil lanaa abwaaba rizqik. (ِAbu Humayd.Musnad Ahmad #15477; Al-Hizb al-A’zam)

The first part of this du’aa is also to be recited when entering a masjid. A masjid is the house of Allah Ta’aala. We enter it with the plea that we are engulfed in His mercy.

(Abu Ayyub al-Ansari. Mustadrak Hakim #1540/5942; Abu Umamah al-Bahili. Mu’jam al-Kabir (Tabarani))

 

O Allah, forgive all of my sins and mistakes. O Allah, elevate me, give me life and provisions, and guide me to pious deeds and morals. Certainly no one leads to the pious deeds and morals and no one protects from the evil ones except You.

 

~~~Ameen~~~

 

forgive all of my sins and mistakes: The reference to sins in the du’aas of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallem) should not be interpreted literally. We must remember that he was sinless. These refer to the leaving out of the most preferred option, not the commission of a sin as such.

O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your male servant, and son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your Hand. Your command for me prevails. Your Judgment concerning me is just. I beseech You through every name You have, by which You have called Yourself, or which You have sent down in Your Book, or which You taught to any one of Your creations, or which You preferred to keep to Yourself among Your guarded secrets, to make the Great Qur’an the springtime of my heart, the light of my eyes, the remedy of my grief, and the dispeller of my anxiety.

Sayyidna ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (ra) reports that the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallem)  said, “Whenever a Muslim is suffering from a worry or grief and he makes this du’aa, Allah will remove his worry and replace his grief with joy.” The Companions said, “Should we not learn these words?” He replied, “Certainly. It is only proper for anyone who listens to these words to learn them.”

 

In the beginning part, a woman should say here: اللّٰهُمَّ أَنَا أَمَتُكَ وَبِنْتُ عَبْدِكَ وَبِنْتُ أَمَتِكَ (“O Allah, I am Your female servant, daughter of Your male servant, and daughter of Your female servant”).

Sayyidna ‘Ali (ra) was approached by a slave who needed money to win his freedom.

O Allah, You hear my speech and behold my situation. You know my secret and open matters. None of my affairs is concealed from You. And I am the miserable, needy, suppliant, succor-seeking, fearful and anxious person who confesses his sins. I beg of You – the begging of the destitute. I implore You – the imploring of an abased sinner. And I make du’aa to You – the du’aa of the fearful afflicted person, whose neck is bowed down before You, whose eyes pour out tears before You, whose body is humbled before You, and whose nose cleaves to the ground for You. O Allah, do not make me frustrated in my supplication to You. And be Compassionate and Merciful to me. O, the Best of those who are asked, and the Best of all who give. O Allah, I place my complaint before You for my weakness, lack of means, and my insignificance in the eyes of people. O the Most Merciful of those who show mercy, to whom will You entrust me? To an enemy who will oppress me or to the hands of a sympathetic friend whom You have entrusted my affair? (O Allah,) if You are not displeased with me then I do not care for such things. Still, Your protection will be the easier for me.

 

~~~Ameen~~~

 

O Allah, You hear my speech… and the Best of all who give: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallem) made this du’aa on the day of ‘Arafah during his last Hajj. At this time all of Arabia had come under the domination of Islam. About 124,000 companions performed Hajj with him.

 

O Allah, I place my complaint… Still, Your protection will be the easier for me: This du’aa was made on one of the saddest days in the life of Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallem). It was June 619 CE when he visited Ta’if, a  hill station near Makkah. The pagans of Ta’if not only mocked his invitation to believe in the one true God, they also sent their urchins to throw stones at him until his shoes filled with blood. In great distress the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallem) turned to Allah with this du’aa. Slightly more than a decade later, the entire area came under the rule of Islam.

 

Thus, of the two du’aas that Munajat has put together here, one was said at the height of his worldly achievements; the other at one of the lowest points in his life. Yet they have exactly the same tone. The juxtaposition is extremely significant. It points out that in the best of times, just as in the worst of times, Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallem) was the same servant of Allah.

O Allah, I seek Your protection from bad morals, deeds, desires, and diseases. We seek Your protection from the evil of everything for which Your Prophet Muhammad ﷺ sought Your protection. And from a bad neighbor where we live, for  a bad neighbor in travel moves away. And from domination of the enemy and the ridicule of the enemies. And from hunger;  indeed, it is a bad bedfellow. And from betrayal of trust, for it is a bad intimate. And from that we should turn back on our feet, or that we should be persecuted into separation from our religion. And form tribulations both open and hidden, from the bad day, the bad night, the bad moment, and the bad companion.

 

~~~Ameen~~~

 

bad intimate: Bitaanah means intimate. Here it means the bad intention (of betraying) that settles deep into one’s heart.

 

from that we should turn back… from our religion: Ibn Abi Mulaykah, rahimahullah, used to make this du’aa after mentioning the famous hadith according to which angels will force back some people form the Hawd of Kawthar on the Day of Judgment, explaining to the Prophet ﷺ that these people had turned back after him.

اللّٰهُمَّ لَكَالْحَمْدُ كَالَّذِيْ تَقُوْلُ وَخَيْرًا مِّمَّا نَقُوْلُ

 

above should be:

 

اللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَالَّذِيْ تَقُوْلُ وَخَيْرًا مِّمَّا نَقُوْلُ

 

In post number 118

وَرِضً مِّنَ الْمَعِيْشَةِ بِمَاقَسَمْتَ لِيْ

 

above should be:

 

وَرِضًى مِّنَ الْمَعِيْشَةِ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِيْ

ALL FOR ALLAH TA’AALA

 

اَللّٰهُمَّ لَكَ صَلَاتِيْ وَنُسُكِيْ وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِيْ، وَإِلَيْكَ مَاٰبِيْ، وَلَكَ رَبِّ تُرَاثِيْ ـ

O Allah, my salaat, my sacrifice, my life, and my death are all for You. To You is my return and Yours is what I leave behind.

DU’AA FOR SHUKR, DHIKR, NASIHAT AND PRESERVATION OF COMMANDS

 

اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِيْ أُعَظِّمُ شُكْرَكَ، وَأُكْثِرُ ذِكْرَكَ، وَأَتَّبِعُ نَصِيْحَتَكَ، وَأَحْفَظُ وَصِيَّتَكَ ـ اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّ قُلُوْبَنَا وَنَوَاصِيَنَا وَجَوَارِ حَنَا بِيَدِكَ، لَمْ تُمَلِّكْنَا مِنْهَا شَيْئًا، فَإِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذٰلِكَ بِهِمَا فَكُنْ أَنْتَ وَلِيَّهُمَا، وَاهْدِنَا إِلٰى سَوَاءِ السَّبِيْلِ ـ

 

Allaahummaj-‘alnii u’azzimu shukrak(a), wa ukthiru dhikrak(a), wa attabi’u nasiihatak(a), wa ahfazu wasiyyatak(a). Allaahumma inna quluubanaa wa nawaasiyanaa wa jawaarihanaa biyadik(a), lam tumalliknaa minhaa shay’a(n), fa idhaa fa’alta dhaalika bihimaa fa kun anta waliyyahumaa, wah-dinaa ilaa sawaa’is-sabiil. (Composite: Abu Hurayrah. Sunan at-Tirmidhi #3530; Jabir ibn ‘Abdillah. Kanz al-‘Ummal #3644)

 

O Allah, make me such that I thank you greatly for Your blessings, I remember You much, I follow Your counsel, and I preserve Your commands. O Allah, our hearts, our foreheads, and our limbs are in Your Hand. You did not give us total control over any of them. Since You have done that with these then be their patron, and guide us to the path of rectitude.

 

~~~Ameen~~~
