Imam Ali Ridha (as) dua on Arafah

[00:00.00]

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

bis-millahir-rahmanir-rahim

In the Name of Allah, the All-merciful, the All-compassionate

[00:05.00]

اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا سَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا تَعْلَمُ

 

"O‟ my God! As You covered from me what I do not know of, please forgive me for which You know of.

[00:12.00]

وَ كَمَا وَسِعَنِي عِلْمُكَ فَلْيَسَعْنِي عَفْوُكَ وَ كَمَا بَدَأْتَنِي بِالْإِحْسَانِ فَأَتِمَّ نِعْمَتَكَ بِالْغُفْرَانِ

 

As Your Knowledge encompasses me, please let Your Pardon encompass me, too.

[00:24.00]

وَ كَمَا أَكْرَمْتَنِي بِمَعْرِفَتِكَ فَاشْفَعْهَا بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ

 

As You initiated Your Kindness for me, please perfect the blessing of Your Bounties by forgiving.

[00:31.00]

وَ كَمَا عَرَّفْتَنِي وَحْدَانِيَّتَكَ فَأَكْرِمْنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ [لماعيتك‌]

 

As You let me know about Your Oneness, please honor me with Your Obedience:

[00:38.00]

وَ كَمَا عَصَمْتَنِي مَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْتَصِمُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا بِعِصْمَتِكَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا لَوْ شِئْتَ عَصَمْتَنِي مِنْهُ

 

As You protected me from what I could not protect myself except by Your support. Thus, please forgive me for what You could have protected me against if You wished!

[00:53.00]

يَا جَوَادُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ.

 

O‟ Munificent! O‟ the All-Generous! O‟ Lord of Majesty, Bounty and Honor!” May God have Mercy upon you! Look at those whom you follow, are guided by their light, and try to be like them when you pray and adhere to their humble characteristics when they pray.
