Syed Ibn Baqi Dua – Night Dua

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِذْ وَفَّقْتَنَا لِصِيَامِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ فَأَطَعْنَاكَ

 

O Allah, O He who facilitated for us the fasting of this month and thereby we obeyed You,

وَ دَعَوْتَنَا فَأَجَبْنَاكَ بِتَوْفِيقٍ مِنْكَ لَنَا

 

and You called upon us and we responded to You by Your grace towards us,

وَ أَمَرْتَنَا بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ فَقُلْتَ

 

and You commanded us to pray upon Your Prophet saying,

‌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ

 

"Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet.

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً

 

O you who have believed, send blessings upon him and greet him with peace."

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا بِهِ مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ

 

O Allah, therefore send blessings upon him since You guided us through him from misguidance

وَ أَنْقَذْتَنَا بِهِ مِنَ الْهَلَكَةِ

 

and saved us from perdition with him.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْزِهِ خَيْرَ مَا جَزَيْتَ نَبِيّاً عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ

 

O Allah, reward him the best of what You have rewarded a Prophet on behalf of his nation,

وَ خَيْرَ مَا جَزَيْتَ رَاعِياً عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ

 

and the best of what You have rewarded a shepherd on behalf of his flock.

وَ صَلِّ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْهِ [أَنْتَ‌]

 

And may Allah send blessings upon him,

وَ مَلَائِكَتُكَ وَ أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ وَ رُسُلُكَ

 

Your angels, Your prophets, Your messengers,

وَ أَهْلُ طَاعَتِكَ [وَ أَهْلُ عِبَادَتِكَ‌]

 

and those of Your creation who obey You,

مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ

 

from the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth.

اللَّهُمَّ ابْعَثْهُ مَقَاماً مَحْمُوداً

 

O Allah, raise him to a praiseworthy station

يَغْبِطُهُ بِهِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخِرُونَ

 

which the first and the last will envy him for.

اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّضْ وَجْهَهُ وَ أَوْضِحْ حُجَّتَهُ

 

O Allah, brighten his face, clarify his argument,

وَ تَقَبَّلْ شَفَاعَتَهُ وَ عَظِّمْ بُرْهَانَهُ

 

accept his intercession, and magnify his proof.

اللَّهُمَّ أَقِرَّ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ عَيْنَهُ

 

O Allah, comfort his eyes in the resurrection

وَ عَيْنَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ أُمَّتِهِ

 

and the eyes of his progeny, his family, and his nation.

اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي فِي سَنَتِي هَذِهِ النَّظَرَ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ

 

O Allah, grant me in this year the sight of Your Sacred House,

وَ أَرِنِي الرُّكْنَ وَ الْمَقَامَ

 

and show me the Rukn (corner of the Kaaba) and the Maqam (Station of Ibrahim),

وَ آثَارَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ

 

and the traces of Your prophets, peace be upon them,

وَ الزِّيَارَةَ إِلَى قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُصْطَفَى عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ السَّلَامُ

 

and the visitation to the grave of Your Prophet Muhammad, the Chosen one, peace be upon him and his family.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ [اجْعَلْ مُحَمَّداً] أَقْرَبَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِنْكَ وَسِيلَةً

 

O Allah, make him [Muhammad] the closest of the Prophets to You in means,

وَ مَنْزِلًا وَ أَعْظَمَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ رِبْحاً وَ شَرَفاً

 

station, the greatest in loss and honor,

وَ أَعْلَاهُمْ لَدَيْكَ دَرَجَةً وَ غُرَفاً

 

and the highest in degree and chambers.

اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنِي فِي الْقِيَامَةِ وَجْهَهُ النَّضِرَ الْأَزْهَرَ

 

O Allah, show me on the day of resurrection his bright, radiant face,

سَيِّدَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ وَلِيَّ الْمُتَّقِينَ [الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‌]

 

the leader of the messengers, the guardian of the believers,

وَ إِمَامَ الْمُتَّقِينَ نَبِيَّ الرَّحْمَةِ

 

the imam of the pious, the Prophet of mercy,

أَتَى‌ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيراً وَ نَذِيراً

 

who came with the truth, a bearer of good tidings and a warner,

وَ داعِياً إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَ سِراجاً مُنِيراً

 

calling to Allah by His permission, and an illuminating lamp.

اللَّهُمَّ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ فِي سُنَّتِهِ

 

O Allah, employ me in the obedience to You according to his Sunnah,

وَ تَوَفَّنِي مَغْفُوراً لِي عَلَى مِلَّتِهِ

 

and let me die forgiven according to his creed,

وَ ابْعَثْنِي عَلَى شَرِيعَتِهِ وَ احْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَتِهِ

 

resurrect me on his law, gather me in his group,

وَ ارْزُقْنِي مُرَافَقَتَهُ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ فِي شَفَاعَتِهِ

 

grant me his companionship, and admit me into Paradise through his intercession.

اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا جَعَلْتَنِي فِي أُمَّتِهِ وَ لَمْ تُضِلَّنِي

 

O Allah, as You made me among his nation and did not misguide me,

وَ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ بِدِينِهِ دَيْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ‌ خَلِيلِكَ

 

and graced me with his religion, the religion of Ibrahim, Your friend,

وَ عَلَى مِلَّتِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ

 

upon him and his family be peace,

وَ بَلَّغْتَنِي هَذَا الشَّهْرَ

 

and brought me to this month

وَ فَرَضْتَهُ عَلَيَّ رَأْفَةً وَ رَحْمَةً مِنْكَ

 

and prescribed it upon me out of compassion and mercy from You,

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِتَشْرِيفِكَ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

 

I ask You by honoring Muhammad, may Allah bless him and his family,

يَوْمَ تَجْمَعُ الْخَلَائِقَ لِفَصْلِ الْقَضَاءِ

 

on the day when all creations are gathered for the decree,

أَنْ تُعْتِقَنِي فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا مِنَ النَّارِ

 

to free me this day from the Fire,

وَ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَغْفِرَةً عَزْماً [جَزْماً]

 

and to forgive me a decisive forgiveness,

وَ تَرْزُقَنِي خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

 

and to grant me the best of this world and the hereafter,

وَ الْأَمْنَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْغِنَى وَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ

 

security, well-being, wealth, and forgiveness

بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‌

 

by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

إِنَّكَ عَلى‌ كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

 

Indeed, You are capable of all things,

وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ.

 

and may Allah send blessings upon our master Muhammad and his pure family.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِذْ وَفَّقْتَنَا لِصِيَامِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ فَأَطَعْنَاكَ
