THE ALL INCLUSIVE SUPPLICATORY PRAYER (یا من اظهر الجمیل)

Third: This supplicatory prayer wards off sinning and brings about all this-worldly and otherworldly requests overall:

In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

O He Who has shown only goodness,

concealed the evil (deeds of His servants),

and has not exposed the hidden!

O He Who is generous in pardoning!

O He Who is Excellent in overlooking!

O He Who is Liberal in forgiving!

O He Who opens His hands wide with mercy!

O He Who is present in all confidential talks!

O He Who is the ultimate objective of all complaints!

O He Who is generous in condoning!

O He Who is great in favoring!

O He Who takes the initiative in enduing with all favors before they are deserved!

O my Lord! O my Master! O my Cherisher!

O my utmost hope! O my aide!

(Please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad

and I beseech You not to put me in Hellfire.

Fourth: Imam al-Sadiq (‘a) is reported to have said this supplicatory prayer:

You are my trust in all hard times,

You are my hope in all ordeals,

and You alone are my reliance and support in every matter that afflicts me.

Too many are the agonies, which the heart is too weak to undergo,

which all stratagems fail to manage,

in which the friend and the stranger disappoint,

at which the enemy gloat,

and in which I lose any way out,

but when I referred them to You and complained about them to You,

abandoning all others than You,

You have relieved, removed, and saved me from it.

So, You are the patron of all graces,

the One Who stands for all requests,

and the utmost of all desires.

So, very much praise be to You

and abundant gratitude be to You.
