Night of Ghadir

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ دَعَوْتَنَا إِلَى سَبِيلِ طَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ وَصِيِّهِ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ

allahumma innaka da-‘awtana ila sabeeli ta’atika wa ta’ati nabiyyika wa wasiyyihi wa ‘itratihi

O” my God! You invited us to the path of obeying You, Your Prophet, his Trustee and his household

دُعَاءً لَهُ نُورٌ وَ ضِيَاءٌ وَ بَهْجَةٌ وَ اسْتِنَارٌ

du’aa-an lahu noorun wad hiya-un wa bahjatun wa-stinaar

– an invitation filled with light, illumination, joy and brightness.

فَدَعَانَا نَبِيُّكَ لِوَصِيِّهِ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ

fa-da’aana nabiyyuka liwasiyyihi yawma ghadeeri khummin

Then Your Prophet of Mercy invited us to follow his Trustee (Imam Ali) on the Day of Ghadir Khum

فَوَفَّقْتَنَا لِلْإِصَابَةِ وَ سَدَّدْتَنَا لِلْإِجَابَةِ لِدُعَائِهِ

fa-waffaqtana lilisaabati wa saddad-tana lil ijaabati li-du’aaihi

and You granted us success in choosing the correct path and helped us accept his invitation.

فَأَنَبْنَا إِلَيْكَ بِالْإِنَابَةِ وَ أَسْلَمْنَا لِنَبِيِّكَ قُلُوبَنَا

fa-anaba ilayka bil-inaabati wa aslamna linabiyyika quloobana

Thus we turned back to You and submitted our hearts to Your Prophet,

وَ لِوَصِيِّهِ نُفُوسَنَا وَ لِمَا دَعَوْتَنَا إِلَيْهِ عُقُولَنَا فَتَمَّ لَنَا نُورُكَ

wa liwasiyyihi nufoosana wa lima da-‘awtana ilayhi ‘uqoolana fatamma lana nooruka
