Du'a from Ayyuhal Walad

[Muslim Knight]

:sl:

This du'a is taken from Hujjatul Islam Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali's Ayyuhal Walad (Dear Beloved Son). I have it in booklet form but couldn't trace the Arabic text of the du'a. Reps for someone who could include it in here.


In the Name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.

O Allah, I ask of You complete blessings, lasting protection from sin, comprehensive mercy, acquisition of well-being (in this world and in the next), the best provision, the happiest life, the most complete favour, the most generous blessing, the sweetest grace and the closest gentleness.

O Allah, be for us and not against us. O Allah, seal our lives with happiness and good fortune, realise our aspirations accompanied with further increase. Combine our mornings and evenings with safety and make Your compassion our return and our last resort and pour the best of Your forgiveness over our sins and favour us with the reform of our defects. Make piety our provision and grant us interpretative judgment in Your religion, and make us depend on You and have confidence only in You.

O Allah, make us firm on the path of steadfastness, and safeguard us in this world from matters that will bring shame on the Day of Judgment, and lighten for us the burden of our sins, and grant us lives of the righteous and protect us from the evil of the evil ones. Save our necks and the necks of our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters from the fire of Hell by Your compassion, O Most Powerful one, Most Forgiving, Most Generous, Concealing our faults; O You, Most Knowledgeable, Most Overwhelming, O Allah! O Allah! O Allah! By Your Mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O First before the firsts, Last after the lasts, O Possessor of strength, Everlasting, Compassionate to the destitute, Most Compassionate of those who are compassionate. There is no god but You, glory be to You, verily I am of the wrongdoers, And may Allah bless our Prophet Muhammad salallahu alayhi wassalam and all his Followers and Companions. All praise belongs to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of all the worlds. Ameen.
