     َAudio (By: Mohsen Farahmand Azad)

    Duaa-e-Ahad is to be recited every morning after Namaz-e-Sub'h, or at least on Fridays after Sub'h. It is narrated that if anyone recites this for forty consecutive days after Sub'h, he shall be fortunate enough to join the righteous group of Imam Mahdi(a.s).

In The Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

Oh Allah, Send your blessings upon Muhammad(S) and the Family of Muhammad(A)

O Allah! Lord of the Great Light, Lord of the Elevated Throne, Lord of the tumultuous seas,

And the revealer of the Tawrah, Injeel, and Zaboor, Lord of the shadows and the warmth’s,

And the revealer of the Great Quran.

Lord of the proximate angels and prophets and messengers.

O Allah I beseech thee, for the sake of Your Nobel Visage.

وَبِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْمُنيرِ وَمُلْكِكَ الْقَديمِ،

And for the sake of Your Enlightening Visage, And Your ever existing kingdom.

يا حَيُّ يا قَيُّومُ

O Ever Living! O Controller!

اَسْاَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذي اَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ السَّماواتُ وَالاَْرَضُونَ،

I beseech Thee in Your Name which lights up the heavens and the earths;

وَبِاسْمِكَ الَّذي يَصْلَحُ بِهِ الاَْوَّلُونَ وَالاْخِرُونَ،

and in Your Name, by which the ancient and the latter ones become upright.

O Ever living who has before every living being.

يا حَيّاً قَبْلَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَيا حَيّاً بَعْدَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَيا حَيّاً حينَ لا حَيَّ

O Ever Living Who shall (exist) after every living being. O Ever Living Who existed when there was no life.

يا مُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتى وَمُميتَ الاَْحْياءِ،

O Giver of life to dead. O One Who causes death to the living one.

يا حَيُّ لا اِلـهَ اِلّا اَنْتَ،

O Ever Living. There is no god except Thou.

اَللّـهُمَّ بَلِّغْ مَوْلانَا الاِْمامَ الْهادِيَ الْمَهْدِيَّ الْقائِمَ بِاَمْرِكَ

O Allah send our master the leader, The guide, The guided, The one who will rise with Your command.

صَلَواتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ و عَلى آبائِهِ الطّاهِرينَ

Blessings of Allah be on him and his pure forefathers,

عَنْ جَميعِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْمُؤْمِناتِ

From all the believing men and believing women.

في مَشارِقِ الاَْرْضِ وَمَغارِبِها

In the east’s of the earth and it’s west’s,

سَهْلِها وَجَبَلِها وَبَرِّها وَبَحْرِها،

In its plains and its mountains, Its lands and its seas,

وَعَنّي وَعَنْ والِدَيَّ

From me and my parents.

مِنَ الصَّلَواتِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِ اللهِ وَمِدادَ كَلِماتِهِ،

Blessings,  Which are the weight of Allah’s throne, And ink of His words,

وَما اَحْصاهُ عِلْمُهُ وَاَحاطَ بِهِ كِتابُهُ ؛

And whatever His knowledge enumerates, And His book encompasses.

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي اُجَدِّدُ لَهُ في صَبيحَةِ يَوْمي هذا وَما عِشْتُ مِنْ اَيّامي عَهْداً وَعَقْداً وَبَيْعَةً لَهُ في عُنُقي،

O Allah renew for him my covenant, Pledge and allegiance on my neck in the morning of this day of mine,

And whatever days (of my life) I live.

لا اَحُولُ عَنْها وَلا اَزُولُ اَبَداً،

I shall never turn away from it, Nor let it ever vanish.

اَللّـهُمَّ اجْعَلْني مِنْ اَنْصارِهِ وَاَعْوانِهِ وَالذّابّينَ عَنْهُ

O Allah appoint me among his helpers, Aides, And his protectors.

وَالْمُسارِعينَ اِلَيْهِ في قَضاءِ حَوائِجِهِ،

Those who hasten to fulfill his commands,

وَالْمُمْتَثِلينَ لاَِوامِرِهِ وَالُْمحامينَ عَنْهُ،

And obey his orders. Those who are his supporters,

وَالسّابِقينَ اِلى اِرادَتِهِ وَالْمُسْتَشْهَدينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ،

And compete with each other to (fulfill) his intention, And seek martyrdom in his presence.

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنْ حالَ بَيْني وَبَيْنَهُ الْمَوْتُ الَّذي جَعَلْتَهُ عَلى عِبادِكَ حَتْماً مَقْضِيّاً

O Allah!  If death occurs between me and him (before the reappearance),

(Death) which you have made obligatory, And decreed for your servants,

فَاَخْرِجْني مِنْ قَبْري مُؤْتَزِراً كَفَنى شاهِراً سَيْفي مُجَرِّداً قَناتي

Then raise me from my grave, Wrapped in my shroud, My sword unsheathed, My spear bared,

مُلَبِّياً دَعْوَةَ الدّاعي فِي الْحاضِرِ وَالْبادي،

Answering the call of the caller in cities as well as deserts.

اَللّـهُمَّ اَرِنيِ الطَّلْعَةَ الرَّشيدَةَ، وَالْغُرَّةَ الْحَميدَةَ،

O Allah! Show me the rightly guided face of (Imam (AJ)),

The praiseworthy moon (referring to the face of Imam(AJ)),

كْحُلْ ناظِري بِنَظْرَة منِّي اِلَيْهِ،

and enlighten my vision by looking at him.

وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُ وَسَهِّلْ مَخْرَجَهُ، وَاَوْسِعْ مَنْهَجَهُ وَاسْلُكْ بي مَحَجَّتَهُ،

And hasten his reappearance, Make his arrival smooth, Make vast his path, Make me tread on his way,

وَاَنْفِذْ اَمْرَهُ وَاشْدُدْ اَزْرَهُ

And implement his authority, And strengthen his back.

وَاعْمُرِ اللّـهُمَّ بِهِ بِلادَكَ، وَاَحْيِ بِهِ عِبادَكَ،

O Allah! Inhabit Your cities through him, And give life to Your servants due to him,

For surely You have said and Your word is truth,

 " ظَهَرَ الْفَسادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ بِما كَسَبَتْ اَيْدِي النّاسِ"،

“Corruption will become rampant in land and on sea because of the evil which men’s hand have earned”

فَاَظْهِرِ الّلهُمَّ لَنا وَلِيَّكَ

Then O Allah! Manifest for us Your slave,

وَابْنَ بِنْتِ نَبِيِّكَ الْمُسَمّى بِاسْمِ رَسُولِكَ

And the son of Your Prophet(S)’s daughter, Whose name is the same as that of Your messenger(S),

حَتّى لا يَظْفَرَ بِشَيْء مِنَ الْباطِلِ اِالّا مَزَّقَهُ،

So that nothing from falsehood is victorious, Except that he tears them (falsehood) to pieces,

وَيُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَيُحَقِّقَهُ،

Establishes the truth and the truth confirms him.

وَاجْعَلْهُ اَللّـهُمَّ مَفْزَعاً لِمَظْلُومِ عِبادِكَ،

And O Allah! Appoint him as a refuge for Your oppressed servants,

وَناصِراً لِمَنْ لا يَجِدُ لَهُ ناصِراً غَيْرَكَ،

And a helper for the one who does not find any helper for himself except You,

وَمُجَدِّداً لِما عُطِّلَ مِنْ اَحْكامِ كِتابِكَ،

And the reviver of all the laws of Your book which have been tampered with,

وَمُشَيِّداً لِما وَرَدَ مِنْ اَعْلامِ دينِكَ وَسُنَنِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ،

And the rebuilder of the science of Your religion,

And the traditions of Your Prophet (peace of Allah be on him and his progeny),

وَاجْعَلْهُ اَللّـهُمَّ مِمَّنْ حَصَّنْتَهُ مِن بَأسِ الْمُعْتَدينَ،

And O Allah! Make him among those whom you have protected from the evils of the adversaries.

اَللّـهُمَّ وَسُرَّ نَبِيَّكَ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ بِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَمَنْ تَبِعَهُ عَلى دَعْوَتِهِ،

O Allah! And provide joy to Your Prophet Mohammed (peace be on him and his progeny),

By his vision and (the vision of) the one who follows him on his call,

وَارْحَمِ اسْتِكانَتَنا بَعْدَهُ،

And have mercy on our poverty after his arrival

اَللّـهُمَّ اكْشِفْ هذِهِ الْغُمَّةَ عَنْ هذِهِ الاُْمَّةِ بِحُضُورِهِ، وَعَجِّلْ لَنا ظُهُورَهُ،

O Allah!  remove his sorrow (of occultation) from this nation with his presence,

And hasten for us his reappearance.

اِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعيداً وَنَراهُ قَريباً،

They (the disbelievers) consider it to be distant, while we consider it to be near.

بِرَحْمَتِـكَ يـا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ.

For the sake of Your mercy, O the most Merciful of all Merciful’s.

Then one should gently strike his right thigh with his palm and say :

Hasten! Hasten! O my Master, O Master of the Era(AJ).
