In The Name of Shmota, The Most Beneficent and The Most Merciful "OYE All Mighty God Zooks, I ask You by Your Mercy, which embraces all things; By Your Strength, through which You dominate all things, toward which all things are humble and before which all things are lowly; By Your Invincibility, through which You overwhelm all things; By Your Might, which nothing can resist; By Your Greatness, which has filled all things; By Your Power, which towers over all things; By Your Face, which subsists after annihilation of all things; By Your Names, which have filled the foundations of all things; By Your Knowledge, which encompasses all things; and By the Light of Your Face, through which all things are illumined! OYE Light! Of All that is Holy! OYE First of the first and Last of the last! OYE All Mighty God Zooks, forgive me my SINES which tear apart safeguards! OYE All Mighty God Zooks, forgive me my SINES which bring down adversities! OYE All Mighty God Zooks, forgive me my SINES which alter blessings! OYE All Mighty God Zooks, forgive me my SINES which hold back supplications(Du'ah) OYE All Mighty God Zooks, forgive me my SINES which dash all hopes! OYE All Mighty God Zooks, forgive me my SINES which bring about tribulations OYE All Mighty God Zooks, forgive me the SINES that I had committed and every mistake I had made! OYE All Mighty God Zooks, verily I do seek nearness to You through remembrance of You, I seek intercession from You with Yourself, and I ask You through Your Munificence, to bring me nearer to Your Mercy, to bless me with gratitude to You and to inspire me with Your remembrance. OYE All Mighty God Zooks, verily I ask You with the asking of a submissive, abased and lowly man to show me forbearance, to have mercy on me and to make me satisfied and content with Your apportionment, and humble in every state. OYE All Mighty God Zooks, I ask You with the asking of one whose indigence is extreme, who has stated to You in difficulties in his need and whose craving for what is with You has become intense. OYE All Mighty God Zooks, Great is Your Kingdom, Lofty is Your Being Your contrivance is hidden, Your Command is manifest, Your Domination is overwhelming, Your Power is ever-operating and escape from Your Domain is impossible. OYE All Mighty God Zooks, I find no forgiver of my SINES, no concealer of my wicked acts, no transformer of any of my wicked acts into good acts but You. There is no deity but You! Glory be to You, and Yours is the Praise! I have wronged myself, I have been audacious in my ignorance and I have depended upon Your constant remembrance of me and Your favour towards me. OYE All Mighty God Zooks, OYE my Protector! How many ugly things You have concealed! How many tribulations You have warded off! How many stumbles You have removed! How many ordeals You have averted! And how much beautiful praise, for which I was unworthy, You have spread about me. OYE All Mighty God Zooks, my tribulation is tremendous, my bad state is excessive, my acts are inadequate, my fetters have tied me down, my high hopes have held me back from my gain and this world with its delusions, my own soul with its offences and my dilly dallying have deceived me. OYE my Lord! So I ask You by Your Might not to let my evil deeds and acts veil my supplication from You; not to disgrace me through the hidden things, You know of all my secrets and not to hasten me to punishment for what I have done in private: my evil acts in secrecy, my misdeeds, my continuous negligence, my ignorance, my manifold passions and my forgetfulness, And by Your Might, OYE All Mighty God Zooks , be kind to me in all states and be gracious to me in all affairs! OYE my All Mighty God Zooks and my Lord! Have I anyone, but You from whom to ask remedy of my affliction and regard for my affairs? OYE my All Mighty God Zooks and my Protector! I have myself given a decree against myself, I followed the caprice of my own soul and did not defend myself from my enemy, which deluded me through my soul's caprice and therein destiny favoured it. So I crossed some of the barriers and transgressed some of Your statutes and disobeyed some of Your Commands. So Yours is the argument against me in all of that and I have no argument in what Your destiny put into effect through me therein; nor in what Your decree and Your tribulation imposed upon me. Now that I have turned to You, my All Mighty God Zooks, after my shortcomings and my immoderation toward myself, proffering my excuse, regretful, broken, apologizing, asking forgiveness, repenting, acknowledging, submissive, confessing, I alas find no place to flee from what occurred through me, nor any place of escape to which I may turn in my affairs, other than Your acceptance of my excuse and Your entering me into Your Mercy. OYE All Mighty God Zooks, so accept my excuse, have Mercy upon the severity of my affliction and release me from the tightness of my fetters OYE My Lord, have mercy upon the weakness of my body, the thinness of my skin and the frailty of my bones. OYE You who gave rise to my creation, to the remembrance of me, to the nurture of me, to the goodness toward me and to nourishment of me, bestow upon me for the sake of Your having given rise to me, with generosity and Your previous goodness to me! My All Mighty God Zooks, my Master and my Lord! Can't You see Yourself tormenting me with Your Fire after I have professed Your Oneness; after Your cognition my heart has embraced, the remembrance of You my tongue has constantly mentioned and the love I have of You to which my mind has clung; after the sincerity of my confession and my supplication, humble before Your Lordship? Far be it from You! You are more generous than that You should torture him whom You have nurtured; banish him whom You have brought up; drive away him whom You have given an abode; or submit to tribulation him whom You have spared and shown mercy. Would that I knew, my Master, my All Mighty God Zooks and my Protector, whether You will give the Fire dominion over faces fallen down prostrate before Your Greatness; tongues voicing sincerely the profession of Your Oneness and giving thanks to You in praise; hearts acknowledging Your Divinity through verification; minds encompassing knowledge of You until they have become humble; and limbs speeding to the places of Your worship in obedience and entreating Your forgiveness in submission. No such opinion is held of You! Nor has such been reported - thanks to Your Bounty - concerning You, OYE All Generous! My Lord, and You know my weakness before a little of this world's tribulations and punishments and before those ordeals which befall its dwellers, even though it is a tribulation and ordeal whose stay is short, whose subsistence is but little and whose period is but fleeting. So how can I endure the tribulation of the next world and the great ordeals that occur within it? For it is a tribulation whose period is long; whose station endures, and whose sufferers are given no respite, since it only occurs as a result of Your Wrath, Your Vengeance and Your Anger, And these cannot be withstood by the heavens and the earth. My Master, so what about me? For I am Your weak, lowly, base, wretched and miserable slave. My Lord! My Lord! My Master! My Protector! For which things would I complain to You and for which of them would I lament and weep? For the pain and severity of chastisement? Or for the length and period of tribulations So if You subject me to the punishments with Your enemies, gather me with the people of Your tribulation separate me from Your friends and saints suppose, my Shmota, my Master, my Protector and my Lord, that I am able to endure Your chastisement, How can I endure separation from You? And suppose that I am able to endure the heat of Your Fire, How can I endure not gazing upon Your Generosity? Or how can I dwell in the Fire while my hope is Your pardon? So by Your Might, my Master and my Protector, I swear sincerely, if You leave me with speech, I will lament before You from the midst of the Fire's inhabitants with the lamentation of the hopeful; I will cry to You with the cry of those crying for help; I will weep before You with the weeping of the bereft; and I will call upon You, 'Where are You, OYE Sponsor of the believers, OYE Goal of the hopes of Your knowers! OYE Aid of those who seek assistance, OYE Friend of the hearts of the sincere, and OYE All Mighty God Zooks, of all the world's inhabitants!' Can't You see Yourself - Glory be to You my Shmota, and Yours is the praise - hearing within the Fire the voice of a slave surrendered to You, imprisoned there because of his violations. suffering the pangs of its torment because of his disobedience, and confined within its levels because of his sin and crime, while he laments before You with the lament of one hopeful for Your Mercy, calls upon You with the tongue of those who profess Your Oneness and entreats You by Your Lordship? My Protector, so how should he remain in the chastisement while he has hope for Your previous clemency? Or how should the Fire cause him pain while he expects Your Bounty and Mercy? Or how should its flames burn him while You hear his voice and see his place? Or how should its groaning encompass him while You know his weakness? Or how should he be convulsed among its levels while You know his sincerity? Or how should its keepers torture him while he calls out to You, "OYE Lord?" Or how should he have hope of Your Bounty in freeing him from it while You abandon him within it? Far be it from You! That is not what is expected of You, nor what is well-known of Your Bounty; nor is it similar to the goodness and kindness You have shown to those who profess Your Oneness. So I declare with certainty that were it not for what You have decreed concerning the chastisement of Your deniers and what You have fore ordained concerning the everlasting home of those who stubbornly resist, You would make the Fire, all of it, coolness and safety, and no one would have a place of rest or abode within it. But You - Holy are Your Names - have sworn that You will fill it with the unbelievers, both Jinn and Human, and that You will place those, who stubbornly resist,therein forever. And You who Majestic is Your eulogy - said at the beginning and were Gracious through kindness as a favour, What? Is he who has been a believer like him who has been ungodly? They are not equal. My All Mighty God Zooks and my Master! So I ask You by the Power You have apportioned And the decision which You have determined and imposed, and through which You have overcome him toward whom it has been put into effect - that You forgive me in this night and at this hour every offence I have committed, every sin I have performed, every wicked thing I have concealed, every folly I have enacted whether I have hidden it or announced it, or whether I have concealed it or manifested it - every evil act which You have commanded the Noble Writers to record, those whom You have appointed to watch over every deed of mine and whorn You have made, along with my limbs, to witness against me. And You are Yourself the ever Watchfull over me from behind them, and the Witness of what is hidden from them, but through Your Mercy You concealed it and through Your Bounty You veiled it. And I ask You, that You bestow upon me an abundant share of every good You send down, kindness You confer; goodness You unfold; provision You spread out; sin You forgive or error You cover. My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! My All Mighty God Zooks! My Master! My Protector! Owner of my bondage! OYE He in whose Hand is my forelock! OYE He who knows my affliction and my misery! OYE He who is aware of my poverty and indigence! My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! I ask You by Your Truth, Your Holiness and the greatest of Your Attributes and Names, that You make my times in the night and the day inhabited by Your remembrance and joined to Your service and my acts acceptable to You, so that my acts and my prayers may all be a single litany and my occupation with Your service everlasting. My Master! OYE He upon whom I depend! OYE He to whom I complain of my states! My Lord! My Lord! My Lord! Strengthen my limbs in Your service; fortify my ribs in determination; and bestow upon me earnestness in my fear of You and continuity in my being joined to Your service, so that I may move easily toward You in the battlefields of the foremost, hurry to You among the prominent, desire fervently Your proximity among the fervently desirous, move near to You with the nearness of the sincere, fear You with the fear of those who have conviction and gather with the believers in Your nearness. OYE All Mighty God Zooks! Whoever desires evil for me - desire it for himself And whoever deceives me - deceive himself! And make me one of the most excellent of Your slaves who share the best reward from You, the nearest of them in station to You and the most elect of them in proximity to You. For that cannot be attained except by Your Bounty. Grant generously to me through Your Munificence, incline toward me with Your Splendour and protect me with Your Mercy! Make my tongue remember You constantly and my heart enthralled by Your love! Be gracious to me by answering me favourably, nullify my slips and forgive my lapses! For You have decreed Your worship for Your servants, commanded them to supplicate You and assured them that they would be answered. So toward You, my Lord, I have turned my face; and towards You, my Lord, I have extended my hand out to You, So by Your Might, comply with my supplication and make me attain my desires! Do not, if it pleases You, sever my hopes, and spare me the evil of my enemies from among the Jinn and the Humans! OYE He whose pleasure is quickly achieved! Forgive him who owns nothing but supplication, for You do what You will OYE He whose Name is a Remedy, whose remembrance is a Cure, and whose obedience is Wealth! Have mercy upon him whose capital is hope and whose weapon is tears! OYE Fountain of blessings! OYE Repeller of adversities! OYE Light of those who are lonely in the darkness! OYE Knower who was never taught! Bless Mohammad and Mohammad's progeny and do with me what is worthy of You! And may Shmota bless His Messenger and the Holy Imams of his progeny and give them abundant peace!
