Dua-E-Iftitah

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي اَفْتَتِحُ الثَّناءَ بِحَمْدِكَ، وَاَنْتَ مُسَدِّدٌ لِلصَّوابِ بِمَّنِكَ، وَاَيْقَنْتُ اَنَّكَ اَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّاحِمينَ في مَوْضِعِ الْعَفْوِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ

وَاَشَدُّ الْمُعاقِبينَ في مَوْضِعِ النَّكالِ وَالنَّقِمَةِ، وَاَعْظَمُ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ في مَوْضِعِ الْكِبْرياءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ،

O Allah, I begin the glorification with praise of Thee; Thou, from Thy bounties, gives out freely the truth and salvation; I know for certain that Thou art the most merciful in disposition of forgiveness and mercy

[but] very exacting at the time of giving exemplary punishment and chastisement to wrongdoers, the Omnipotent in the domain of absolute power and might.

اَللّـهُمَّ اَذِنْتَ لي في دُعائِك وَمَسْأَلَتِكَ فَاسْمَعْ يا سَميعُ مِدْحَتي، وَاَجِبْ يا رَحيمُ دَعْوَتي، وَاَقِلْ يا غَفُورُ عَثْرَتي، فَكَمْ يا اِلهي مِنْ كُرْبَة قَدْ فَرَّجْتَها وَهُمُوم قَدْ كَشَفْتَها، وَعَثْرَة قَدْ اَقَلْتَها، وَرَحْمَة قَدْ نَشَرْتَها، وَحَلْقَةِ بَلاء قَدْ فَكَكْتَها،

O Allah, Thou has given me permission to invoke Thee and beseech Thee, so listen, O Hearer, to my words of

praise, and give a favorable reply to my supplication, and minimize my falling into misery, O the often-forgiving.

O my Allah, many a trouble Thou hath removed; many a sorrow hath Thou dispelled; many a misery hath Thou

 mitigated; and at all times Thou spread out mercy, and cutteth short the tightening circles of misfortunes.

All praise is to Allah, Who has not taken unto Himself a wife, or a son, and who has no partner in sovereignty,

All praise be to Allah, Who has no opposition to His rule, nor any challenge to His commands.

All praise be to Allah, Who has no counsel to meddle with His operation of creation, nor is there anything similar to Him in His greatness.

All praise be to Allah, Whose commandments operate in Creation; His glory is evident through love and kindness.

His distinct overflowing generosity is freely available through His unlimited bestowals which do not exhaust His resources, and He does not swell the numerous benefits except because of generosity and kindness. Verily He is mighty, generous.

، اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْاَلُكَ قَليلاً مِنْ كَثير، مَعَ حاجَة بي اِلَيْهِ عَظيمَة وَغِناكَ عَنْهُ قَديمٌ، وَهُوَ عِنْدي كَثيرٌ، وَهُوَ عَلَيْكَ سَهْلٌ يَسيرٌ

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنَّ عَفْوَكَ عَنْ ذَنْبي، وَتَجاوُزَكَ عَنْ خَطيـئَتي، وَصَفْحَكَ عَنْ ظُلْمي وَسِتْرَكَ عَنْ قَبيحِ عَمَلي،

 وَحِلْمَكَ عَنْ كَثيرِ جُرْمي، عِنْدَ ما كانَ مِنْ خَطئي وَعَمْدي،

O Allah, I ask for some from much, in the midst of my very many needs for which I entirely depend on Thee, and, since eternity, Thou art able to do without it but for me it is a titanic effort and for Thee is very easy and simple.

O Allah, truly, when Thou pardon my sins, overlook my mistakes, take a lenient view of my disorderly conduct, cover up my foul actions, show consideration in spite of my many transgressions committed willfully or negligently

اَطْمَعَني في اَنْ اَسْأَلَكَ ما لا اَسْتَوْجِبُهُ مِنْكَ، الَّذي رَزَقْتَني مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَاَرَيْتَني مَنْ قُدْرَتِكَ، وَعَرَّفْتَني مِنْ اِجابَتِكَ، فَصِرْتُ مُدِلاًّ عَلَيْكَ فيـما قَصَدْتُ فيهِ اِلَيْكَ، اَدْعُوكَ آمِناً، وَاَسْاَلُكَ مُسْتَأنِساً، لا خائِفاً وَلا وَجِلاً،

مُدِلاًّ عَلَيْكَ فيـما قَصَدْتُ فيهِ اِلَيْكَ، فَاِنْ اَبْطأَ عَنّي عَتَبْتُ بِجَهْلي عَلَيْكَ،

وَلَعَلَّ الَّذي اَبْطأَ عَنّي هُوَ خَيْرٌ لي

 لِعِلْمِكَ بِعاقِبَةِ الاُْمُورِ

A temporary setback, and I, out of ignorance, begin to despair, although perhaps slowing down may be a blessing in disguise. Because Thou alone knows [all] the consequences.

I know no generous master who is more accommodating to dissatisfied servants that Thou art to me.

O Lord, Thou give an invitation but I turn it down. Thou become familiar with me but I do not care for Thee. Thou love me but I do not correspond to Thee as if Thou are overreaching me.

Yet Thou doth not abstain from bestowing favors and blessings on me from Thy mercy and generosity so have mercy on Thy ignorant servant Verily Thou art generous and kind.

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي لَيْسَ لَهُ مُنازِعٌ يُعادِلُهُ، وَلا شَبيهٌ يُشاكِلُهُ، وَلا ظَهيرٌ يُعاضِدُهُ قَهَرَ بِعِزَّتِهِ الاَْعِزّاءَ، وَتَواضَعَ لِعَظَمَتِهِ الْعُظَماءُ، فَبَلَغَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ ما يَشاءُ، اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي يُجيبُني حينَ اُناديهِ، وَ يَسْتُرُ عَلَيَّ كُلَّ عَورَة وَاَنَا اَعْصيهِ، وَيُعَظِّمُ الْنِّعْمَةَ عَلَىَّ فَلا اُجازيهِ،

فَكَمْ مِنْ مَوْهِبَة هَنيئَة قَدْ اَعْطاني، وَعَظيمَة مَخُوفَة قَدْ كَفاني، وَبَهْجَة مُونِقَة قَدْ اَراني،

وِمِنْ ثِيابِ

السُّنْدُسِ وَالْحَريرِ وَالاِسْتَبْرَقِ فَاَلْبِسْنا، وَلَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَحَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحرامِ، وَقَتْلاً في سَبيلِكَ فَوفِّقْ لَنا،

وَصالِحَ الدُّعاءِ وَالْمَسْأَلةِ فاسْتَجِبْ لَنا، وَاِذا جَمَعْتَ الاَوَّلينَ وَالاخِرينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ فاَرْحَمْنا وَبَراءَةً مِنَ النّارِ فَاكْتُبْ لَنا، وَفي جَهَنَّمَ فَلا تَغُلَّنا، وَفي عَذابِكَ

 وَفِي النّارِ عَلى وُجُوهِنا فَلا تَكْبُبْنا، وَمِنْ ثِيابِ النّارِ وَسَرابيلِ الْقَطِرانِ فَلا تُلْبِسْنا، وَمِنْ كُلِّ سُوء يا لا اَله إلاّ اَنْتَ بِحَقِّ لا اِلـهَ إلاّ اَنْتَ فَنَجِّنا.

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْاَلُكَ اَنْ تَجْعَلَ فيـما تَقْضي وَتُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الاَمْرِ الَْمحْتُومِ فِى الاَمْرِ الْحَكيمِ، مِنَ الْقَضاءِ الَّذي لا يُرَدُّ وَلا يُبَدَّلُ اَنْ تَكْتُبَني مِنْ حُجّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرامِ، الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمْ، الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمْ،الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمْ، اَلْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ،

وَأنْ تَجْعَلَ فيـما تَقْضي وَتُقَدِّرُ، اَنْ تُطيلَ عُمْري في خَيْر وَعافِيَة، وَتُوَسِّعَ في رِزْقي،

َوَتَجْعَلَني مِمَّنْ تَنْتصِرُ بِهِ لِدينِكَ وَلا تَسْتَبْدِلْ بي غَيْري
