EnArHindi Aa

This Du'a has been taught by Imam Sajjad (as) and is a clear indication of the loftiness of moral virtues expected of a believer. Islam believes in the elevation of the human being, that a human is a great and dignified creation, far above the animal world. One of the signs of this dignity is the possession of noble and magnanimous qualities.

seize me to Thyself before Thy hatred overtakes me
أَوْ يَسْتَحْكِمَ غَضَبُكَ عَلَيَّ.

وَلاَ تَرُدَّ دُعَائِي عَلَيَّ رَدّاً;
and refuse not my supplication in rejection,
فَإنِّي لا أَجْعَلُ لَكَ ضِدّاً وَلا أَدْعُو مَعَكَ نِدّاً.
for I make none rival to Thee and I supplicate none with Thee as equal!
أللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّـد وَآلِـهِ

lest I be distracted from Thy worship through seeking
وَلا أَحْتَمِلَ إصْرَ تَبِعَاتِ الْمَكْسَبِ.

وَلاَ تَبْتَذِلْ جَاهِي بِالإقْتارِ فَأَسْتَرْزِقَ أَهْلَ رِزْقِكَ،
and demean not my dignity through neediness, lest I seek provision from those whom Thou hast provided
وَأَسْتَعْطِيَ شِرَارَ خَلْقِكَ، فَأفْتَتِنَ بِحَمْدِ مَنْ أَعْطَانِي،
and asks for bestowal from the worst of Thy creatures! Then I would be tried by praising him who gave to me
وَاُبْتَلَى بِـذَمِّ مَنْ مَنَعَنِي وَأَنْتَ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ وَلِيُّ الإعْطَاءِ وَالْمَنْعِ.
