Imam Ali, Zainul Abedin Saiyyadus Sajedeen, the third
illuminating star of the Golden Chain of Imamate, had complied 54 Supplications
in Sahifa-e-Kamila. The book is also known as “The Psalms of Islam” and
“Zuboor-e-Aale Muhammad”.
The supplication is titled as “Noble Moral Traits and Acts
Pleasing Almighty Allah (swt)”
It should be absolutely clear in the minds of the readers
that our A’imma (plural of Imam) were infallible. They have written these
supplications for our guidance to pray.
We should read these duaas, understand and make every effort
to practice in our lives.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad (s) and his Progeny (a), cause my
faith to reach the most perfect faith, make my certainty most excellent
certainty, and take my intention to the best of intentions, and my works to the
best of works.
O Allah, complete my intention through your gentleness,
rectify my certainty through what is with You, and set right what is corrupt in
me through Your Power.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad (s) and his Progeny (a), spare me
the concerns which distract me, employ me in that about which You will ask me
tomorrow, and let me pass my days in that for which You have created me, free
me from need, expand Your Provision towards me, and tempt me not with
ingratitude. Exalt me and afflict me not with pride, make me worship You and
corrupt not my worship with self-admiration. Let good flow out from my hands
upon the people and wipe it not by my making them obliged. Give me the highest
moral traits, and preserve me from boastfulness.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad(s) and his Progeny (a), raise me not
a single degree before the people without lowering me it’s like in myself and
bring about no outward loftiness for me without an inward humiliation in myself
to the same degree.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad(s) and his Progeny (a), give me to
enjoy a sound guidance which I seek not to replace a path of truth from which I
do not change direction, and an intention of right conduct in which I have no
doubts. Let me live as long as my life is a free gift in obeying You, but if my
life should become a pasture of Shaitaan(l), seize me to Yourself before Your
hatred overtakes me or Your wrath against me becomes firm.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad(s) and his Progeny(a), deposit in me
no quality for which I will be faulted, unless You set it right, no flaw for
which I will be blamed, unless You make it beautiful, no deficient noble trait,
unless You complete it.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad(s) and his Progeny(a), and replace
for me the hostility of the people of hatred with love, the envy of the
insulting people with affection, the suspicion of the people of righteousness
with trust, the enmity of those close with friendship, the disrespect of blood
relations with devotion, the abandonment of relatives with help, the attachment
of flatterers with love set right, the rejections of fellow beings with
generous friendliness, and the bitterness of the fear of wrongdoers with the
sweetness of security.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad(s) and his Progeny (a), appoint for
me a hand against him who wrongs me, a tongue against him who disputes with me,
and victory over him who stubbornly resists me, give me guile against him who
schemes against me, power over him who oppresses me, prove him false who
abusively criticize me, and safety from him who threatens me .Grant me success
to obey him who points me to straight path and follow him who guides me right.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad(s) and his Progeny (a), and point me
straight to resist him who is dishonest towards me with good counsel, repay him
who separates from me with gentle devotion, reward him who deprives me
from free giving, reward him who cuts me
off with joining, oppose him who slanders me with excellent mention, give thanks
for good, and shut my eyes to evil.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad(s) and his Progeny(a), adorn me with
the adornment of the righteous, and clothe me in the ornaments of the god-fearing,
through spreading justice, restraining rage, extinguishing the flame of hate,
bringing together the people of separation, correcting strife, spreading around
good behavior, covering faults, mildness of temper, lowering the wing, beauty
of conduct, gravity of bearing, agreeableness in conduct, precedence in
reaching excellence, preferring generosity, refraining from condemnation,
bestowing bounty on poor, speaking the truth, though it may be painful, making
little of the good in my words and deeds, though it may be more, and making
much of the evil in my words and deeds, though it be little. Perfect this for
me through lasting obedience, holding fast to the community, and rejecting the
people of innovation and those who act according to original opinions.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad(s) and his Progeny (a), appoint for
me your widest provision in my old age and your strongest strength when I am
exhausted, try me not with laziness in worshipping you, blindness towards your
path, undertaking what opposes love for you, joining with him who has separated
himself from you, and separating from him who has joined himself to you.
O Allah, Bless Muhammad (s) and his Progeny (a), make me
leap to you in times of distress, ask from you in needs, and plead to you in
misery. Tempt me not to seek help from other than you when I am distressed, to humble
myself in asking from someone else when I am poor, or to plead with someone
less than you when I fear, for then I would deserve your abandonment, your
withholding, and you’re turning away, O Merciful of the most merciful.
