Friday Dua at the Time of Dhuhr

 

 

 

Among the recommended acts on Fridays is that one may say the following prayer at midday as is narrated by Muhammad ibn Muslim on the authority of Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him). Yet, the following form of the supplication has been quoted from Shaykh al-Tusi’s famous book entitled Misbah al-Mutahajjid:

لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

la ilaha illa allahu

There is no god save Allah.

 

وَٱللَّهُ اكْبَرُ

wallahu akbaru

Allah is the Most Great.

 

وَسُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ

wa subhana allahi

Glory be to Allah.

 

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً

alhamdu lillahi alladhi lam yattakhidh waladan

All praise be to Allah Who has not taken to Himself a son

 

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي ٱلْمُلْكِ

wa lam yakun lahu sharikun fi almulki

nor has He had any partner in sovereignty

 

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ

wa lam yakun lahu waliyyun mina aldhdhulli

nor does He need any to protect Him from humiliation,

 

وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيـراً

wa kabbirhu takbiran

and magnify Him for His greatness and glory.

 

 

 

 

You may then say the following:

يَا سَابِغَ ٱلنِّعَمِ

O Conferrer of boon amply!

 

يَا دَافِعَ ٱلنِّقَمِ
