Allah hears whoever praises Him.

O Allah, all praise is Yours for enabling our fasting.
0:13

0:17
O Allah, and before all of that, all praise is Yours for the gift of Islam.
0:22
O Allah, all praise is Yours for making us part of the Ummah of the best of leaders.
0:30
O Allah, all praise is Yours for Your abundant blessings and immense favors.
0:38
O Allah, to You belongs all praise, to You belongs all gratitude, and to You belongs all acclaim.
0:45
You alone are worthy of being praised, and You alone are worthy of being worshipped.
0:50
Exalted is Your praise, and magnificent is Your sovereignty.
0:54
Blessed is Your name, and exalted is Your majesty.
0:57
And there is no deity worthy of worship except You.
1:00
O Allah, all praise is Yours as we express,
1:04
and far greater than anything we could ever say.
1:07
O Allah, all praise is Yours as many times as all who praise You have ever offered praise,
1:12
and far beyond all the praises ever offered to You.
1:15
O Allah, all praise is Yours just as You have praised Yourself.
1:20
“Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two, three and four. He multiplieth in creation what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (35:1)
1:24
“Praise be to Allah, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Who appointeth the angels messengers having wings two, three and four. He multiplieth in creation what He will. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things.” (35:1)
1:32
O our Lord, to You belongs praise—abundant, pure, and blessed praise,
1:38
filling the heavens, filling the earth, and filling all that lies between them,
1:43
and filling whatever else my Lord wills thereafter.
1:47
You are the Most Worthy of praise and majesty,
1:50
the truest word a servant can ever utter—and all of us are servants to Allah.
1:55
O Allah, send peace and blessings upon Muhammad and upon the family of Muhammad,
2:01
as You sent peace and blessings upon Ibrahim and upon the family of Ibrahim;
2:06
among all creation, You are indeed Praiseworthy and Full of Glory.
2:11
O Allah, guide us among those You have guided,
2:14
grant us well-being among those You have granted well-being,
2:16
take us under Your care among those You have taken under Your care,
2:19
bless us in what You have bestowed,
2:22
and protect us and turn away from us the evil of what You have decreed.
2:29
For You alone decree, and none can decree against You;
2:32
none whom You befriend can ever be humiliated,
2:35
and none whom You oppose can ever be honored.
2:38
Blessed are You, our Lord, and exalted.
2:41

for all of these faults reside within us.

3:16

what we have concealed and what we have revealed.
3:25
O Allah, forgive us all,
3:28
and pardon the wrongdoers among us for the sake of the righteous.
3:32
O You of boundless forgiveness,

O You who stretch out Your hands with mercy,
3:38

3:59
"Let them pardon and let them overlook."
4:02
O Allah, You are the Most Worthy of all noble qualities,
4:06
O Allah, You are the Most Worthy of showing all grace.
4:10
We ask You for mercy and forgiveness
4:13
that encompass every single one of us.
4:16
O Allah, meet our wrongdoing with Your benevolence,
4:19
and our sins with Your pardon and forgiveness.
4:22
O Allah, in this station of confession and acknowledgment,
4:27
we confess before You, while You are the All-Knowing, the All-Aware;
4:32
we acknowledge our wrongdoing and our negligence,
4:36
our shortcomings and our ignorance,
4:39
our injustice and our offenses,
4:42
our sins and our minor misdeeds,
4:45
and our major transgressions.
4:48
O Allah, we have come to You offering our apologies,
4:51
and we have approached You pleading for Your acceptance and favor.
4:53
We seek Your forgiveness, for You are indeed Perpetual in Forgiving;
4:57
we seek Your forgiveness, for You are indeed Perpetual in Forgiving;
5:01
we seek Your forgiveness, for You are indeed Perpetual in Forgiving;
5:05
so forgive every one of us.
5:08
O Allah, we bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except You,
5:13
O Allah, we bear witness that Muhammad is Your servant and Your Messenger.
5:18
O Allah, we have come to You with the dearest of all things to You:
5:24
our affirmation of Your Oneness, our humility, and our servitude to You.
5:30
O Allah, forgive all that we have done,
5:33
O Allah, forgive all our past wrongs.
5:35
O You of boundless forgiveness,
5:38
O You who stretch out both hands with mercy,
5:41

Do not drive us away from Your door!
5:47
O Allah, in the closing moments of these nights,
5:51
we beseech You, and You are the Ultimate Truth,
5:54
and Your word is truth,
5:56
and Your promise is truth,
5:57
and Paradise is truth,
5:59
and the Fire is truth,
6:01
and Muhammad, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, is truth,
6:05
and the Prophets are truth,
6:07
and the Hour is truth.
6:09
O Allah, in the closing moments of these nights,
6:12
we ask You to gather for us
6:14
the rewards of all the passing nights,
6:17
and multiply them,
6:19
and magnify them,
6:21
and make them monumental,
6:22
and elevate them,
6:24
and accept them.
6:26
O Allah, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor,
6:29
if it has already been decreed in Your eternal knowledge
6:32
that no further Ramadan remains in our lifespans,
6:36
then O Allah, pardon and forgive us at this very hour, O Allah!
6:42
O Allah, emancipate our necks from the Fire at this very hour, O Allah!
6:48
O Allah, decree our salvation,
6:51
and our protection and safety,
6:54
at this very hour, O Allah!
6:57
O Allah, show affection toward us through Your mercy,
7:00
and be compassionate toward us through Your pardon,
7:02
O Most Generous,
7:04
O Most Generous,
7:06
O Most Generous!
7:08
We ask You for all-encompassing pardon
7:11
and complete forgiveness.
7:13
O Knower of our deepest secrets,
7:16
do not tear away the protective veil covering our faults,
7:19
grant us well-being, pardon us,
7:22
and be with us wherever we may be.
7:25
O our God, encompass within Your pardon and forgiveness our fathers
7:29
and our mothers.
7:31
O Allah, forgive them all,
7:33
overlook the faults of all of them,
7:35
and elevate their ranks, O Lord of all worlds!
7:38
O Allah, have mercy on them just as they showed mercy to us,
7:41
and shower Your tender mercy upon them just as they treated us with tenderness, O Lord of all worlds!
7:47
O Allah, You are Most Pardoning and love to pardon, so pardon us;
7:52
and pardon our wives and our offspring,
7:56
and our brothers and our sisters;
7:59
and pardon and forgive our teachers,
8:02
and our scholars,
8:04
and those who have a right over us,
8:06
and those who have shown kindness to us;
8:08
and pardon, forgive, and overlook the faults of
8:10
everyone who entrusted us with a trust
8:13
or asked us for supplication, O Lord of all worlds!
8:18
O Allah, encompass us within Your pardon,
8:20
O Allah, embrace us all with Your forgiveness,
8:22
O Allah, make us felicitous through Your good pleasure,
8:25
O Most Great, O Supremely Exalted,
8:28
O Severe in retribution,
8:30
O Doer of whatever He wills,
8:33
O You who decree whatever You please,
8:35
O You who decide whatever You will!
8:38
None can overturn Your decree,
8:40
and none can repel Your judgment.
8:43
You erase whatever You will and You establish,
8:46
and with You is the Mother of the Book.
8:49
O Allah, record us in the Mother of the Book among the felicitous!
8:53
O Allah, record us in the Mother of the Book among the felicitous!
8:57
O Allah, record us in the Mother of the Book among the felicitous,
9:02
and do not record us among the outcast and wretched.
9:05
We seek refuge in Your Noble Countenance,
9:12
we seek refuge in Your Sacred Essence;
9:15
O Allah, we take shelter in You, O Allah,
9:20
and we turn to You for refuge, O Allah,
9:22
and we seek Your divine protection, O Allah!
9:25
O Allah, protect us from being forsaken,
9:27
protect us from deficiency and loss,
9:29
and make us among the triumphant in this month of Ramadan,
9:33
O Lord of all worlds!
9:35
O our God, apportion for us such awe of You
9:37
as will come between us
9:39
and acts of disobedience to You,
9:41
and such obedience to You as will lead us to Your Paradise,
9:44
and such conviction as will make easy for us
9:47
the calamities of this world.
9:49
O Allah, grant us the enjoyment of our hearing,
9:51
and our sight,
9:53
and our strength,
9:54
as long as You keep us alive,
9:56
and make it our survivor till we pass;
9:59
let our vengeance fall upon those who have wronged us,
10:02
and grant us victory over those who show enmity toward us;
10:05
do not place our calamity in our religion,
10:08
do not make the worldly life our greatest concern,
10:11
nor the ultimate limit of our knowledge,
10:13
nor the end of our desires,
10:15
nor the Fire our final destination;
10:17
and make Paradise our final home and abode of rest.
10:21
Our Lord, grant us from our spouses
10:23
and our offspring comfort to our eyes,
10:25
and make us leaders for the righteous.
10:28
O Allah, rectify our souls,
10:31
and rectify our hearts,
10:33
and rectify our spirits,
10:35
and rectify our secret thoughts,
10:37
and rectify our consciences,
10:39
and make our inner state far better than our outward appearance.
10:42
O Allah, pour light into our hearts,
10:46
O Allah, wash our hearts with a light from Your light.
10:51
O Allah, remove whatever ill is in our hearts.
10:54
O Allah, purify our hearts,
10:57
And make our chests vessels for the Qur'an.
11:01
O Allah, shower us with wisdom, O Most Merciful.
11:06
O Allah, purify our hearts,
11:08
And purify our sight,
11:10
And purify our hearing,
11:12
And purify our minds,
11:14
And guard our private parts.
11:16
Place light before us,
11:20
And light behind us,
11:22
And light on our right,
11:24
And light on our left,
11:26
And light above us,
11:29
And grant us the light of Your grace and benevolence.
11:41
O Allah, encompass us with pardon and wellbeing,
11:44
And embrace us with every good You send down,
11:47
And with every happiness You apportion.
11:49
O Allah, we ask You for all good,
11:52
Both immediate and future,
11:54
What we know of it and what we do not know.
11:57
And grant us mercy from You,
12:05
For indeed, You are the Supreme Bestower.
12:07
O our God, O our Master, and our Hope,
12:12
By Your name, the Most High, the Most Great,
12:14
O Allah, by Your name, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence,
12:17
O Allah, You are Allah; there is no deity worthy of worship except You, the One,
12:21
The Eternal Refuge, who neither begets nor is born.
12:24
“And there is none comparable unto Him.” (112:4)
12:27
We ask You for complete guidance.
12:30
O Allah, faith wears out within one of us
12:34
Just as a garment wears out.
12:36
O Allah, renew faith in our hearts.
12:40
O Allah, magnify certainty in our chests.
12:44
O Allah, faith increases and decreases;
12:47
O Allah, increase our faith and do not diminish it.
12:51
O Allah, increase our faith and do not diminish it.
12:55
O our Lord, we ask You for certainty and wellbeing.
12:59
We ask You for certainty and wellbeing.
13:05
We ask You for steadfastness in the matter,
13:07
And the determination to follow right guidance.
13:09
O Allah, help us to remember You, thank You,
13:13
And worship You in the best manner.
13:14
Direct us toward Your obedience,
13:16
And guide us to what pleases You.
13:18
O Allah, elevate us from the obligatory acts to the voluntary,
13:21
And from good deeds to their highest forms,
13:24
And keep us far away from acts of disobedience.
13:26
O Allah, place between us and what You do not love
13:30
A barrier and an insurmountable partition.
13:32
Distance us from sins
13:35
As You have distanced the East from the West.
13:38
O Allah, protect us from tribulations.
13:48
O Allah, O Allah, O Allah,
13:53
Pardon us and overlook our shortcomings.
13:56
O Allah, pardon us and overlook our shortcomings.
13:59
O Allah, in the concluding nights,
14:02
We ask You to gather all rewards for us,
14:05
And to magnify our good deeds.
14:07
We have come to You with meager goods
14:10
And patched fasting,
14:12
So accept from us and be charitable to us;
14:16
Indeed, You are the Most Generous and Kind.
14:20
O Most Noble of those who are asked,
14:22
O Most Benevolent of those who give,
14:24
O Most Bountiful of those who bestow,
14:25
O One upon whom rests the provision of all servants,
14:27
O One beside whom there is no creature
14:30
Except that its provision is upon Him.
14:32
“That which Allah openeth unto mankind of mercy none can withhold it; and that which He withholdeth none can release thereafter. He is the Mighty, the Wise.” (35:2)
14:35
There is none to withhold it.
14:37
O Allah, O Generous One,
14:39
O Bountiful One,
14:40
O Magnificent One,
14:41
O Bestower,
14:43
O All-Encompassing One,
14:44
We ask You for abundant provision
14:46
And a great share of good.
14:48
O Allah, shower us with Your bounty,
14:51
A bounty through which we increase in gratitude to You.
14:54
O Allah, we ask You of Your goodness;
14:57
Make our portion great
15:00
And our share plentiful.
15:02
Pour provision upon us in abundance,
15:05
And do not make our life one of hardship and toil.
15:08
O Allah, open for us the gates of provision,
15:11
And facilitate for us the means of self-sufficiency:
15:13
A vast, wholesome, pleasant, and blessed provision.
15:17
O Allah, we ask You for the most expansive and swift provision,
15:21
For You are capable of all things.
15:24
O our God, our Master, and our Hope,
15:27
We ask You for a pleasant, fulfilling life
15:29
And an abundant, continuous provision.
15:31
We ask You for a pleasant, fulfilling life
15:33
And an abundant, continuous provision.
15:35
We ask You for a pleasant, fulfilling life
15:38
And an abundant, continuous provision.
15:40
O Allah, we seek refuge in You from dryness of the eyes
15:44
And from hardness of the heart.
15:46
We seek refuge in You from a heart that is not humble,
15:49
From a soul that is never satisfied,
15:51
From an eye that does not shed tears,
15:53
And from a supplication that is not heard.
15:55
O Fulfiller of needs,
15:57
O Reliever of distress,
16:00
We ask You by all Your beautiful Names,
16:03
Those we know of them and those we do not know,
16:05
To relieve our worries,
16:12
Dispel our distress,
16:14
And fulfill our needs.
16:17
O Allah, who is there for our supplications
16:19
Except You?
16:21
O Allah, who is there for our hopes
16:23
Except You?
16:25
O Allah, who can be turned to
16:27
For our needs
16:29
Except You?
16:31
O Allah, who is never weary
16:33
Of our needs,
16:35
Who is never weary
16:37
Of our needs,
16:39
Who is never weary
16:41
Of our needs,
16:43
Nor confused by our many requests?
16:45
O One to whom nothing is hidden,
16:47
And for whom different languages never intermix,
16:50
And whom persistent requests never weary,
16:53
We ask You to relieve our worries,
16:55
Answer our prayers,
16:57
And fulfill our needs,
16:59
The small of them and the great, O Allah.
17:02
O Allah, we entrust our supplications to You,
17:05
So grant us what we have asked of You,
17:07
Realize for us what we have hoped from You,
17:09
And grant us whatever we missed asking You for
17:12
That You know to be good for us;
17:15
Bestow it upon us, O Generous One.
17:18
O Allah, protect us from all evil,
17:20
Harm, tribulation, and affliction,
17:22
O Lord of the worlds.
17:23
O Allah, guide our youth,
17:25
And grant success to our daughters.
17:27
O Allah, seize our forelocks
17:29
Toward righteousness and piety,
17:30
And toward the deeds You love and are pleased with.
17:33
O Allah, grant success to our women,
17:36
Our sisters, and our wives,
17:38
And reward them on our behalf with the best reward.
17:41
O Allah, multiply their rewards.
17:43
O Allah, magnify their recompense.
17:45
O Allah, whatever good deeds we performed in Ramadan,
17:48
Place them in the ongoing flow of good deeds,
17:50
O Lord of the worlds.
17:52
O Allah, and whatever efforts we made
17:55
To feed fasting people,
17:57
Store it for them as a treasure, O Lord of the worlds.
18:00
Multiply their reward,
18:02
And magnify their recompense,
18:04
O Lord of the worlds.
18:06
O Possessor of majesty and perfection,
18:09
Greatness and supreme authority,
18:11
O One who created and proportioned,
18:13
Destined and guided,
18:15
And gave each thing its form and then guided it,
18:18
O One who says to a thing, "Be," and it is,
18:21
O One who says to a thing, "Be," and it is,
18:25
O One who says to a thing, "Be," and it is:
18:28
Heal the sick among the Muslims.
18:30
O Allah, grant wellbeing to those who are afflicted.
18:32
O Allah, heal the sick among the Muslims,
18:34
A complete and comprehensive healing
18:36
That leaves behind no illness.
18:38
O Allah, restore health to their bodies,
18:40
Grant wellness to their physical forms,
18:42
Restore them to full health,
18:44
And wipe over them with Your healing right hand.
18:48
O One whom Adam called upon and You answered him,
18:52
Whom Noah pleaded to for help and You rescued him,
18:56
Whom Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sought victory from and You granted him victory,
19:02
O One from whom Job sought healing and You answered him:
19:06
O Allah, grant a speedy recovery to our brothers and sisters,
19:11
And our mothers and fathers.
19:14
O Allah, cure them of every illness,
19:16
And lift all pain from them.
19:19
O Allah, grant health to their bodies,

Restore strength to their forms,
19:23
Place cure where the ailment once was,

and make us recipients of Your gracious care.

20:35
upon whom there is no fear, nor shall they grieve.
20:38
Guard us with Your eye that never sleeps,

21:15
O Allah, You are indeed Pardoning and love pardoning, so pardon us.
21:28
O Light of the heavens and the earth,
21:33
O Allah, by the light of Your Countenance that filled the pillars of Your Throne,
21:37
we ask You at this noble hour, on this final night,
21:42
we ask You, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah,
21:47
to record our names firmly in the register of the felicitous, O Allah!
21:52
O Allah, grant us bliss after which we shall never know misery.
21:56
O Lord, we yearn for Your nearness in the Gardens of Delight,
22:01
and we love Your nearness in the Gardens of Delight,
22:04
and we eagerly long for Your nearness in the Gardens of Delight.
22:07
O Allah, we ask You for Paradise without reckoning or punishment.
22:16
O Allah, no deed of ours can truly intercede for us,
22:19
no deed of ours can uplift us on its own,
22:21
and no claim of ours can stand before You;
22:24
yet, O Allah, we place our immense hope in Your Noble Countenance.
22:29
O Allah, we have recited Your Book,
22:32
and we have heard the Sunnah of Your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him),
22:36
and it has become clear to us that Your generosity is boundless,
22:40
Your munificence is limitless,
22:42
and Your mercy precedes Your wrath.
22:45
O Allah, despite our vices,
22:47
and despite our ignorance, shortcomings, and negligence,
22:51
we have pinned our hopes entirely upon You,
22:58
and magnified our yearning in You.
23:01
O Allah, do not dash our hopes,
23:04
and make us among the people of Your pleasure, O Lord of the worlds.
23:09
O Allah, admit us by Your mercy into Your mercy;
23:12
admit us into Paradise and protect us from the Fire.
23:15
O Lord, settle us in the vast expanses of Your Paradise,
23:19
and deliver us from the Fire by Your mercy.
23:22
Wash away all our past sins,
23:26
adorn faith in our hearts,
23:29
and make hateful to us transgression,
23:32
disbelief, wickedness, and disobedience.
23:36
O Knower of what is most subtle in the darkness,
23:40
O You Whose hands are outstretched in giving,
23:43
bestow Your pleasure upon us, O Possessor of boundless bounty!
23:47
O our God, O our Guardian,
23:51
by the most beloved of Your Names to You,
23:54
and the swiftest of them in receiving Your response,
23:57
O Lord, admit us into Paradise without reckoning.
24:01
O Allah, gather us in Paradise
24:04
with our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
24:08
O Allah, delight us in Paradise with the sight of him,
24:11
and delight us on the Day of Resurrection at his Basin.
24:14
O Allah, make us among the followers of his Sacred Law
24:16
and those who adhere to his Sunnah.
24:18
O Allah, let us live according to his Sunnah,
24:21
and cause us to die upon his religion.
24:23
O Allah, make us among his neighbors,
24:26
O Lord of the worlds.
24:28
O Allah, You single out for Your mercy whomever You will;
24:35
You are the Possessor of immense bounty,
24:37
and You are the Lord of magnificent generosity.
24:39
We ask You, O Lord,
24:41
while our hearts cling to our hope in You,
24:44
O Lord, O Lord, O Lord!
24:46
We take You as witness to our love for Your Prophet,
24:49
and our love for his wives, his Companions, and his kin.
24:53
O Allah, unite us with them without affliction,
24:57
O Allah, unite us with them without harm,
25:01
O Allah, unite us with them without harm,
25:05
O Allah, unite us with them without harm,
25:09
O Lord of the worlds.
25:12
O Allah, we seek refuge in You from the distress of trial,
25:15
the overtaking of misery, an evil decree,
25:17
and the malicious gloating of enemies.
25:20
O Allah, protect us from every calamity,
25:23
and from every tribulation and humiliation.
25:25
O Allah, we seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow,
25:28
from incapacity and laziness,
25:30
from cowardice and miserliness,
25:32
and we seek refuge in You from being overwhelmed by debt
25:34
and from the subjugation of men.
25:36
O Allah, cure us of every illness,
25:39
O Allah, cure us of every illness,
25:42
grant us well-being from every affliction,
25:44
and grant us the enjoyment of our hearing,
25:47
our sight,
25:49
our strength,
25:50
and the righteousness of our offspring,
25:52
O Lord of the worlds.
25:54
O Allah, grant success to our studying children;
25:56
O Allah, grant them success through Your divine guidance.
25:58
O Allah, illuminate their vision and their insight,
26:02
guide their pens aright, O Lord,
26:04
grant correctness to their answers,
26:06
raise their ranks,
26:08
benefit them and benefit others through them,
26:10
benefit them and benefit others through them,
26:12
benefit them and benefit others through them.
26:13
O Allah, protect them;
26:15
O Allah, guard over them;
26:17
O Allah, keep watch over them;
26:19
O Allah, make them known for good deeds,
26:21
and endear virtue to them.
26:23
O Allah, make evil repulsive to them and turn them away from it, O Lord of the worlds.
26:29
O Allah, grant success to our graduating children.
26:32
O Allah, make easy for them the means to gain employment,
26:35
and open for them the doors of provision and the paths of sustenance, O Generous One!
26:40
O Allah, marry off their unmarried ones.
26:48
O Reliever of distress,
27:22
O our God,
27:23
You are our Lord and our ultimate recourse in all matters, O Allah.
27:27
O Allah, when we are joyful we turn in awe to You,
27:31
and when we are sorrowful we seek refuge in You.
27:34
O Allah, You are our aim and our direction,
27:38
You are our Support and our Helper,
27:41
and You are our supreme treasure, O Allah.
27:43
O Allah, we complain to You of the hardships that have afflicted us,
27:47
of the losses and illnesses that have befallen us,
27:50
and of all that has grieved us, pained us,
27:53
caused us sorrow, diminished us,
27:56
and brought us distress.
27:57
O Allah, regarding every affliction and every calamity,
28:01
truly to Allah we belong and truly to Him we shall return.
28:07
O Allah, regarding every loved one we have lost,
28:14
“Who say, when a misfortune striketh them: Lo! we are Allah's and lo! unto Him we are returning.” (2:156)
28:18
O Allah, reward us in our afflictions,
28:21
and grant us better in their stead.
28:28
O Allah, and for whatever good we were prevented from reaching,
28:31
compensate us, O Lord of the worlds.
28:41
O Possessor of Majesty and Honor,
28:44
do not let this be our last Ramadan,
28:48
for we love to fast for You,
28:51
to stand in prayer for You,
28:53
and to worship You.
28:55
O Allah, return it to us for many years to come,
28:59
while we enjoy sound health,
29:01
complete well-being,
29:03
and spiritual vigor,
29:05
so that we may glorify You much
29:07
and remember You much;
29:09
indeed, You are ever Watchful over us.
29:12
O Allah, You have made us stand in this station,
29:15
placed us before You,
29:18
and made us rely upon You.
29:20
O Lord, just as You have honored us
29:22
with this station
29:24
and made us stand before You,
29:26
O Allah, and just as You opened our hearts
29:28
to supplicate and ask,
29:30
complete Your blessings upon us,
29:32
perfect Your favors for us
29:34
with swift glad tidings,
29:36
O Allah!
29:38
O Allah, hasten for us the glad tidings,
29:40
O Allah!
29:42
Perfect our emancipation from the Fire,
29:44
perfect our emancipation from the Fire,
29:46
raise our ranks,
29:48
and accept our acts of obedience,
29:50
and accept our acts of obedience.
29:52
O Allah, we ask You,
29:55
when the people go out to the prayer-ground,
29:57
that You make us
29:59
among those who emerge
30:01
like newborn babes,
30:03
free of sin and transgression.
30:05
O Allah, indeed we
30:07
ask You
30:09
that we emerge to the prayer-ground
30:11
like newborn babes,
30:13
our records made pure and renewed,
30:15
our faces brightened with joy,
30:17
and our deeds accepted,
30:19
O Lord of the worlds.
30:21
O Allah, to You belongs all praise
30:23
in the beginning and at the end.
30:25
O Allah, with our frail tongues
30:27
that are faltering and weak,
30:29
and beset by inadequacy and stammering,
30:31
we praise You and extol You
30:33
with all goodness.
30:35
You are the One Who made us stand and guided us,
30:37
nourished us and bestowed favors upon us,
30:39
granted us success,
30:41
and directed us aright; all grace is Yours,
30:43
and all grace is Yours!
30:45
Praise be to You—praise that is
30:47
abundant, pure, and blessed,
30:49
filling
30:52
the heavens, filling the earth,
30:54
filling all that lies between them,
30:56
and filling whatever else my Lord wills
30:58
thereafter. O Allah,
31:00
shower Your purest blessings
31:02
and most complete peace upon Your servant
31:04
and intimate friend, Muhammad,
31:06
and upon his family and all his Companions
31:08
altogether.
