Dua e Riqab

In the name of Allah the all Merciful the Compassionate

 

O Allah! O holder of our reins, O opener of the doors and O source of all resources, provide us the means whereby we may ask of Thee. O Allah absorb us in Thy service, secure in Thy justice, with no dependence upon Thy creatures, secure in Thy grace, deploring any besides Thee, content with whatever is Thy decree.

 

Make us compliant to Thy commanded duty, persevering in any misfortune grateful for all Thou have bestowed, thankful for all blessings. Enjoying Thy remembrance; rejoicing in Thy Book; understanding of secrets of the midst of night and the limits of the day, rejecting the worldly and loving the Hereafter; yearning for meeting Thee: turning towards Thy presence in readiness for death.

 

O our Sustainer, bestow upon us that which Thou has promised us thru Thy messengers and disappoint us not on the Day of Judgment for assuredly Thou does not Thy promise forsake. O Allah make thy guidance our friend and make the right path our path, O Allah make us attain our goal/objective and accept our repentance for undoubtedly you turn compassionately towards those who repent.

 

O Allah, with Thy name we begin the day and with Thy name we end the day and we live at Thy behest and shall die at Thy behest, to thee is our return. O Allah let us earn Thy pleasure, of turning to thy Face and a yearning to meet with Thee. O Allah, show us the true path as the right one and grant us to follow this and show us the false path as the wrong one and sustain us in rejecting it.

 

O Allah, show us the truth of matters as they really are and raise us as Muslims. Let us associate with the righteous. Dispel the mischief of the oppressors, and include us in the supplications of the Momins, arouse us from the sleep of the negligent and let us earn the intercession of the leader of messengers, admit us to Paradise in peace and safety. Gather us together with the God conscious and deliver us from the fire, O Giver of refuge.
