SUPPLICATIONS FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES 

Blessing upon Prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon Him) and his Household

O Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him), entrusted by Thee with Thy revelation, distinguished by Thee among Thy creatures, devoted to Thee among Thy servants, the imam of mercy, the leader of good, the key to blessing, who wearied his soul for Thy affairs, exposed his body to detested things for Thy sake, raise him because of his labors for Thy sake, to the highest degree of Thy Garden, that none may equal him in station, none may match him in level, and no angel brought nigh or prophet sent out may parallel him in Thy sight. And inform him concerning his household the pure and his community the faithful of an excellent intercession, greater than what Thou hast promised him. O Keeper of promises! O Faithful to Thy word! O He who changes evil deeds into manifold good deeds! Thou art of bounty abounding. 

Blessing upon the Angels and Bearers of the Throne

O Allah, as for the bearers of Your Throne and the angels, who never flag in glorifying You, never become weary of calling You Holy, never tire of worshipping You, never prefer curtailment over diligence in Your command, and are never heedless of passionate love for You, bless them with a blessing that will add honor to their honor and purity to their purity. O my Lord, and when You bless Your angels and Your messengers and You extend our blessings to them, bless us through the good words about them which You have opened up for us! You are the Most Munificent, Generous!

Blessing upon the Followers of the Prophet (Peace be upon him)

O our Lord, as for the companions of Mohammad (Peace be upon him) specifically, those who did well in companionship, who stood the good test in helping him, responded to him when he made them hear Your messages' argument, separated from mates and children in manifesting Your word, fought against fathers and sons in strengthening his prophecy, and through him gained victory in the face of numerous odds, bless them with Your mercy. O Allah, and bless the followers, from this day of ours to the day of doom, their wives, their offspring and those among them who obey You.

Supplication in the Morning and Evening 

O Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household, provide us with the day’s good companionship and preserve us against parting from it badly by doing a misdeed or committing a sin, whether small or great. Make our good deeds within it plentiful, empty us therein of evil deeds, and fill what lies between its two sides for us with praise and thanksgiving, wages and stores, bounty and beneficence. You are indeed the provider of bounties without measure.

Supplication in Times of Distress

O Allah, upon me has come down, My Lord, something whose weight burdens me and upon me has fallen something whose carrying oppresses me. Through Your power You have brought it down upon me and through Your authority You have turned it toward me. None can send away what You have brought, none can deflect what You have turned, none can open what You have closed, none can close what You have opened, none can make easy what You have made difficult, none can help him whom You have abandoned. So bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household, open for me, my Lord, the door of relief through Your graciousness, break from me the authority of worry by Your strength, confer the beauty of Your gaze upon my complaint, let me taste the sweetness of benefaction in what I ask, give me from Yourself mercy and wholesome relief, and appoint for me from Yourself a quick way out. Verily I turn to You and there is none but You to answer my prayer.

Supplication in Seeking Refuge from Hateful Things and Bad Moral Qualities

O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the agitation of craving, the violence of wrath, the domination of envy, the frailty of patience, the lack of contentment, hostility of character, urgency of passion, the disposition to vehemence, preferring falsehood over truth, persisting in sin, competing with the wealthy, disparaging the poor. I seek refuge in Thee from harboring dishonesty toward anyone, being pleased with my works, and widening out my expectations.

I seek refuge in Thee from the most dreadful remorse, the greatest affliction, the most wretched wretchedness, the evil end to the journey, the deprivation of reward, and the advent of punishment. O Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household and through Thy mercy, give to me refuge from all of that, and to all the faithful, both men and women! O Most Merciful of the merciful!

Supplication During Sickness

O my Lord, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his family, make me love what Thou hast approved for me, make easy for me what Thou hast sent down upon me, purify me of the defilement of what I have sent ahead, erase the evil of what I have done beforehand, let me find the sweetness of well-being, let me taste the coolness of safety, and appoint for me a way out from my illness to Thy pardon, transform my infirmity into Thy forbearance, remove from me my distress by Thy refreshment, and make me safe from this hardship through Thy relief.

Supplication When Provoked by Satan

O my Lord, I seek refuge in You from the instigations of the accursed Satan, his trickery, and his traps, from trust in his false hopes, his promises, his delusions, and his snares. O Allah, drive him away from me through Your worship, throw him down through my perseverance in Your love, and place between him and me a covering that he cannot tear away and a solid barrier that he cannot cut through.

O Most Merciful, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his family, and place my father, my mother, my children, my wife, my siblings, my relatives, and the faithful among my neighbors, male and female, in a sanctuary impregnable to Satan, a guarding fortress, a defending cave! Clothe them in shields protective against him and give them arms that will cut him down. You are indeed the One who hear my calls!

Supplication for Rain

O the Most Compassionate, water us with rain, unfold upon us Thy mercy through Thy plentiful rain from the driven clouds, so that Thy goodly earth may grow on all horizons. O Allah! Show kindness to Thy servants through the ripening of the fruit, revive Thy land through the blossoming of the flowers, and let Thy angels - the noble recorders - be witness to a beneficial watering from Thee, lasting in its abundance, plenty in its flow, heavy, quick, soon. O Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his family and provide us with the blessings of the heavens and the earth.

Supplication When an Offense is Committed

O Lord, O Sufficer of the isolated and weak and Protector against terrifying affairs! Offenses have isolated me, so there is none to be my companion. I am too weak for Your anger and there is none to strengthen me. I have approached the terror of meeting You and there is none to still my fear. Who can make me secure from You when You have filled me with terror? Who can come to my aid when You have isolated me? Who can strengthen me when You have weakened me?

O the Most Merciful, if You should turn Your generous Face away from me, withhold from me Your immense bounty, forbid me Your provision, cut off from me Your thread, I will find no hope other than You nor will I be given power by anyone besides You, for I am Your servant and in Your grasp; my forelock is in Your hand. I have indeed wronged my own soul. Accept, O my Lord, my repentance, for without You there is none to remove my evil deeds from me.

O Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household and let me not forget to remember You in what You have done for me, be heedless of Your beneficence in Your trying me, or despair of Your response to me, whether I be in prosperity or adversity, hardship or ease, well-being or affliction, misery or comfort, wealth or distress, poverty or riches.

Supplication for Parents

O our Lord, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him), Your slave and Your messenger, and his family, the pure, and single them out for the best of Your blessings, Your mercy, Your benedictions, and Your peace. And single out my parents, O the Exalted One, with honor and blessings from You, O Most Merciful.

O Allah, lower before them my voice, make agreeable to them my words, make mild before them my temper, make tender toward them my heart, and turn me into their kind companion, their loving friend. O the Supreme Ruler, thank them for my upbringing, reward them for honoring me, and guard them as they guarded me in my infancy.

O Most Merciful, whatever harm has touched them from me, detested thing has reached them from me, or right of theirs which has been neglected by me, allow it to alleviate their sins, raise them in their degrees, and add to their good deeds! O He who changes evil deeds into manifold good deeds!

Supplication for Children

O Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household. O Allah, be kind to me through the survival of my children, setting them right for me, and allowing me to enjoy them. My Lord, make long their lives for me, increase their terms, bring up the smallest for me, strengthen the weakest for me, rectify for me their bodies, their religious dedication, and their moral traits, make them well in their souls, their limbs, and everything that concerns me of their affair, and pour out for me and upon my hand their provisions!

O Allah, make my children pious, fearing, insightful, hearing, and obedient toward Thee, loving and well disposed toward Thy friends and stubbornly resistant and full of hate toward all Thy enemies! Give me and my progeny refuge from the accursed Satan, for Thou hast created us, commanded us, and prohibited us, and made us desire the reward of what Thou hast commanded and fear its punishment.

Supplication for the Fighters of Jihad

O Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household, fortify the frontiers of the Muslims through Your might, support their defenders through Your strength, and lavish upon them gifts through Your wealth. O the Exalted in Might, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household, increase their number, hone their weapons, guard their territory, defend their core, unite their strength, arrange their affair, send them supplies in a steady string, undertake Yourself to suffice them with provisions, support them with victory, help them with patience, and give them subtlety in wisdom.

O Allah, empty the enemy’s hearts from security and their bodies from strength, distract their hearts from thinking of stratagems, make their limbs too feeble for clashing with muslims, make them too cowardly for contending with champions, send against them a troop of Your angels with some of Your severity as You did on the Day of Badr, so that through it You may cut off their roots, harvest their thorns, and disperse their number.

O our Lord, if a muslim should take the place of a warrior or a soldier in his home, attend to those left behind in his absence, help him with a portion of his property, assist him with equipment, hone him for the struggle, send along with him a supplication for his purpose, or guard his honor in his absence, reward him with the like of his reward measure for measure, like for like, and recompense him for his act with an immediate compensation through which he will hasten to the profit of what he has sent forth and the joy of what he has given, till the present moment takes him to the bounty You have granted to him and the generosity You have prepared for him.

Supplication Against the Burden of Debt

O Sustainer of all, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household and release me from a debt which makes me lose face, confuses my mind, disrupts my thinking and prolongs my occupation for thinking of it. I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord, from worry and thought about debt, from the distraction and sleeplessness of debt; so bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household and give me refuge from it! I seek sanctuary in Thee, my Lord, from debt's abasement in life and its ill effects after death, so bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household and give me sanctuary from it through a bountiful plenty and continually arriving sufficiency.

Supplication Against Shortcomings in Honoring People’s Right

O Allah, I ask pardon from You for the person wronged in my presence whom I did not help, the favor conferred upon me for which I returned no thanks, the evildoer who asked pardon from me and whom I did not pardon, the needy person who asked from me and whom I preferred not over myself, the right of a believer who possesses a right incumbent upon me which I did not fulfill, the fault of a believer which became evident to me and which I did not conceal, and every sin which presented itself to me and which I failed to avoid. So bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household and make my remorse for the slips into which I have fallen and my determination to refrain from the evil deeds which present themselves to me - a repentance which will make Your love for me obligatory, O Lover of those who repent!

Supplication When Thinking of Death

O Allah, keep us safe from the delusions of expectations, make us secure from their evils, set up death before us in display. Let not our remembering of death come and go often. When You bring it to us and send it down upon us, make us happy with it as a visitor, comfort us with its arrival, make us not wretched through entertaining it, degrade us not through its visit, and appoint it to one of the gates to Your forgiveness and the keys to Your mercy. Make us die guided, not astray, obedient, not averse, repentant, not disobedient. Surely, You are the One who guarantees the repayment of the good-doers and seeks to set right the work of the corrupt.

Supplication Upon Completing the Holy Quran

O my Lord, You have helped me complete Your Book, which You sent down as a light and appointed as a guardian over every book You have sent down, preferring it over every narrative which You have sent down. A separator, through which You have separated Your lawful from Your unlawful, a Quran, through which You have made plain the approaches to Your rule, a book, which You have distinguished very distinctly for Your servants, a revelation, which You have sent down, a sending down, upon Your prophet Mohammad (Peace be upon him).

O Most Sovereign, just as You have appointed our hearts as its carriers and made known to us through Your mercy its nobility and excellence, so also bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him), its preacher and his household, its guardians, and place us among those who confess that it has come from You, lest doubt about attesting to it assail us, or deviation from its straightforward path shake us.

Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his family and make us one of those who hold fast to its cord, seek shelter in its fortified stronghold, rest in the shadow of its wing, find guidance in the brightness of its morning, follow the shining of its disclosure, acquire light from its lamp. O Most Compassionate, repay him for Your messages which he delivered, Your signs which he passed on, the good counsel he gave to Your servants, and the struggle he undertook in Your way, with the best You have repaid any of Your angels brought near and Your prophets sent out and chosen! And upon him and his household, the good, the pure, be peace and Your mercy, and blessings.

O Allah, bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his household, lessen for us through the Quran the weight of heavy sins, give us the excellent qualities of the pious and make us follow the tracks of those who stood before You in the watches of the night and the ends of the day.

Supplication in Distress

My Lord, of Your glances, give me one glance, and thereby remove from me that by which You have afflicted me and return me to the best of Your mercies. Respond to my supplication for my power has become frail, my stratagems few, my situation severe so nothing remains for me but hope in You.

O Allah, surely Your power to remove my burden is like Your power with which You have afflicted me! And surely the remembrance of Your acts of kindliness comforts me and hope in Your showing favor and Your bounty strengthens me, for I have not been without Your favor ever since You created me. So respond to me, remove my concern, relieve my gloom, return my state to the best it has been, and repay me not according to what I deserve, but according to Your mercy which embraces all things. O Possessor of Majesty and Munificence! Bless Mohammad (Peace be upon him) and his family, hear and respond to the call of a distressed servant of Yours, O Almighty!

Supplication for Thanking Allah

My Lord, the uninterrupted flow of Your graciousness have distracted me from thanking You! The flood of Your bounty has rendered me incapable of counting Your praises! The succession of Your kind acts has diverted me from mentioning You in laudation! The continuous rush of Your benefits has thwarted me from spreading the news of Your gentle favors! This is the station of him who confesses to the lavishness of Your favors, meets them with shortcomings, and witnesses to his own disregard and negligence. You art the Clement, the Compassionate, the Good, the Generous, who does not disappoint those who aim for Him, nor cast out from His courtyard those who expect from Him! In Your yard are put down the saddlebags of the hopeful and in Your plain stand the hopes of the help-seekers! So meet not our hopes by disappointing and disheartening and clothe us not in the shirt of despair and despondency.

O the Provider of bounties, my thanksgiving is small before Your great blessing, and my praise and news-spreading shrink beside Your generosity toward me! Your favors have wrapped me in the robes of the lights of faith, and the gentleness of Your goodness have let down over me delicate curtains of might! Your kindnesses have collared me with collars not to be moved and adorned me with neck-rings not to be broken! Your boons are abundant - my tongue is too weak to count them! Your favors are many - my understanding falls short of grasping them, not to speak of exhausting them! So how can I achieve thanksgiving?

My Lord, as You have fed us through Your gentleness and nurtured us through Your benefaction, so also complete for us lavish favors, repel from us detested acts of vengeance.

To You belongs praise for Your good trial and the lavishness of Your favors, a praise conforming to Your good pleasure and attracting Your great goodness and magnanimity. O Almighty, O All Generous! By Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful

This site is dedicated to my Father and my Mother, who brought me up enduring extraordinary hardship and patience, by the will of Allah (Subhana wa Ta’ala). May Allah (SWT) bless them with mercy now and in the hereafter.
