The supplication on Thursdays

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


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

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي اذْهَبَ ٱللَّيْلَ مُظْلِماً بِقُدْرَتِهِ


All praise be to Allah Who has taken away the shadowy night by His power

وَجَاءَ بِٱلنَّهَارِ مُبْصِراً بِرَحْمَتِهِ


and brought the sight-giving day through His mercy.

وَكَسَانِي ضِيَاءَهُ وَآتَانِي نِعْمَتَهُ


He has clothed me in its brightness and given me its favor.

اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا ابْقَيْتَنِي لَهُ فَ ابْقِنِي لامْثَالِهِ


O Allah, just as You have spared me for this day, so also spare me for its likes,

وَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ ٱلنَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ


bless the Prophet Muhammad and his Household,

وَلاَ تَفْجَعْنِي فِيهِ وَفِي غَيْرِهِ


torment me not in it and in other

مِنَ ٱللَّيَالِي وَٱلايَّامِ


nights and days

بِٱرْتِكَابِ ٱلْمَحَارِمِ


by my commitment of unlawful acts

وَٱكْتِسَابِ ٱلْمَآثِمِ


and clothing myself in sins;

وَٱرْزُقْنِي خَيْرَهُ


provide me with its good,

وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيهِ


the good of all within it,

وَخَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ


and the good of everything after it;

وَٱصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّهُ


and turn away from me its evil,

وَشَرَّ مَا فِيهِ


the evil of all within it,

وَشَرَّ مَا بَعْدَهُ


and the evil of everything after it!

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي بِذِمَّةِ ٱلإِسْلامِ اتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ


O Allah, by the protective compact of Islam, I seek mediation with You!

وَبِحُرْمَةِ ٱلْقُرآنِ اعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْكَ


By the inviolability of the Qur'an, I rely upon You!

وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ٱلْمُصْطَفَىٰ


By Muhammad the chosen,

صَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْه وَآلِهِ


Allah bless him and his Household,

اسْتَشْفِعُ لَدَيْكَ


I seek intercession with You.

فَٱعْرِفِ ٱللَّهُمَّ ذِمَّتِي


So, recognize my protective compact

ٱلَّتِي رَجَوْتُ بِهَا قَضَاءَ حَاجَتِي


by which I hope my need will be granted,

يَا ارْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ


O Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱقْضِ لِي فِي ٱلْخَمِيسِ خَمْساً


O Allah, decree for me on Thursday five things,

لاَ يَتَّسِعُ لَهَا إِلاَّ كَرَمُكَ


which none embraces but Your generosity

وَلاَ يُطِيقُهَا إِلاَّ نِعَمُكَ


and none supports but Your favors:

سَلامَةً اقْوَىٰ بِهَا عَلَىٰ طَاعَتِكَ


health through which I may have the strength to obey You,

وَعِبَادَةً اسْتَحِقُّ بِهَا جَزِيلَ مَثُوبَتِكَ


worship by which I may deserve Your plentiful reward,

وَسَعَةً فِي ٱلْحَالِ مِنَ ٱلرِّزْقِ ٱلْحَلالِ


plenty in my state through lawful provision,

وَ انْ تُؤْمِنَنِي فِي مَوَاقِفِ ٱلْخَوْفِ بِامْنِكَ


and that You make me secure in the places of fear through Your security,

وَتَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ طَوَارِقِ ٱلْهُمُومِ وَٱلْغُمُومِ فِي حِصْنِكَ


and place me in Your fortress against the striking of worries and sorrows!

صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ


Bless Muhammad and his Household,

وَٱجْعَلْ تَوَسُّلِي بِهِ شَافِعاً


and make my seeking his mediation as an intercessor give profit

يَوْمَ ٱلْقِيَامَةِ نَافِعاً


on the Day of Resurrection!

إِنَّكَ انْتَ ارْحَمُ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ


Surely, You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
