O Allah, I begin the glorification with praise of Thee;

Thou, from Thy bounties, gives out freely the truth and salvation;

I know for certain that Thou art the most merciful in

disposition of forgiveness and mercy,

[but]

3 / 39



very exacting at the time of giving

exemplary punishment and chastisement to wrongdoers,

the Omnipotent in the domain of absolute power and might.

O Allah, Thou has given me permission to invoke Thee and beseech Thee,

so listen, O Hearer, to my words of praise,

and give a favourable reply to my supplication,

and minimize my falling into misery,

O the often-forgiving.

O my Allah,

many a trouble Thou hath removed;

many a sorrow hath Thou dispelled;

many a misery hath Thou mitigated;

and at all times Thou spreadeth out mercy,

and cutteth short the tightening circles of misfortunes.

All praise be to Allah,

Who has not taken unto Himself a wife,

nor a son,

and Who has no partner in sovereignty,

nor any protecting friend through dependence.

Magnify Him with all magnificence.


with full gratitude for all his bounties.


4 / 39



Who has no opposition to His rule,

nor any challenge to His commands.


Who has no counsel to meddle with His operation of creation,

nor is there anything similar to Him in His greatness.


Whose commandments operate in Creation;

His glory is evident through love and kindness.

His distinct overflowing generosity is freely available

through His unlimited bestowals which do not exhaust His

resources,

and He does not swell the numerous benefits

except because of generosity and kindness.

Verily He is mighty, generous.

O Allah, I ask for some from much,

in the midst of my very many needs

for which I entirely depend on Thee,

and, since eternity, Thou art able to do without it

but for me it is a titanic effort

and for Thee is very easy and simple.

O Allah, truly, when Thou pardon my sins,

overlook my mistakes,

take a lenient view of my disorderly conduct,

5 / 39



cover up my foul actions,

show consideration in spite of my many transgressions

committed willfully or negligently,

I am tempted to ask for that which I do not deserve,

from Thee Who, through Thy mercy, gives me the daily bread

provides me with that which is suitable for me,

through Thy control;

and distinguishes me with a favourable reply to my requests.

So I persist in calling out,

believing in Thee,

and I invoke Thee,

talking familiarly, not afraid, nor shy,

but assured of Thy love and kindness whenever I turn to Thee

A temporary setback,

and I, out of ignorance, begin to despair,

although perhaps slowing down may be a blessing in disguise.

because Thou alone knows [all]

the consequences.

I know no generous master who is more accommodating to

dissatisfied servants that Thou art to me.

O Lord, Thou giveth an invitation but I turn it down.

Thou becometh familiar with me but I do not care for Thee.

Thou loveth me but I do not correspond to Thee as if Thou are

6 / 39



overreaching me.

Yet Thou doth not abstain from bestowing favours and blessings

on me from Thy mercy and generosity

so have mercy on Thy ignorant servant

Verily Thou art generous and kind.

Praise be To Allah the owner of sovereignty,

Who sets the course of the skies and the stars

controls the winds,

causes the daybreak,

and administers authority,

the Lord of the worlds.

Praise be to Allah

for His indulgence in the wake of His all-awareness.

Praise be to Allah

for His amnesty ensuing from His omnipotence.

Praise be To Allah

for the respite He allows In spite of provocation.

He is able to do what He wills.

Praise be to Allah, the creator of all the created beings,

Who makes sustenance freely available,

starts the day,

the owner of glory, might, favours, and bounties,

Who is far away, invisible, and nearest,

7 / 39



so near that He is fully aware of the whispered secrets,

the Blessed, the Praised.

Praise be to Allah, Who has no equal to challenge Him,

nor is there an image comparable to Him,

nor a helper to assist Him.

He tames the powerful by His force,

and disgraced are the terrible before His greatness;

so He, through His power, fulfils that which He wills.

Praise be to Allah, Who gives answer to me whenever I call Him;

covers up my shortcomings yet I disobey Him;

gives me the largest part of the bounties yet I want more.

Many favours He has sanctioned;

many terrible dangers He has averted;

and many blossoming joys he has made available for me.

Therefore, I sing His praises and recite His glorifications.

Praise be to Allah.

None can disclose anything hidden by Him;

none can shut the doors kept open by Him;

no one who makes a request is sent away disappointed by Him;

and no one who looks long and attentively is deluded in his

hopes.

Praise be to Allah, Who gives protection to the frightened;

comes to the help of the upright;

8 / 39



promotes the cause of the weak and the enslaved;

annihilates the autocrats;

destroys rulers and appoints the 'awaited savours' in their place.

Praise be to Allah, Who breaks everything belonging to the oppressors;

puts an end to the tyrants;

watches over the fugitives;

brings assistance to those who cry out for help;

meets and clears up the demands of the needy beseechers;

supports the faithful.

Praise be to Allah.

In his awe-inspiring fear the heavens and its dwellers tremble and shiver;

the earth and its inhabitants shake and quiver;

the oceans and all that floats and swims in its waters

flow together in excitement and tumult.

Praise be to Allah, Who has guided us to this.

We could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us.

Praise be to Allah, Who creates but is not created;

gives subsistence but needs no provisions;

gives food to eat but takes no nourishment;

makes the living dead and brings the dead to life;

and He is the everliving, there is no death for Him;

in His hands is all the good.

And He is able to do all things.

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Allah, I beg to request You that I have noknowledge of the estuaries of my provisions and I no doubt seek it because of the uncertaintiesspringing in my heart so I hustle about in the cities in seeking it. I be therein like a confoundedseeker, not knowing either it is in plains or is it in mountains, either in the land or in the rivers,yonder anyone or before anyone, and I do know that You have its knowledge, its means at Yourhands and You are the one awarding it by Your favor and executing it by Your favor. O Allah,peace be on Hazrat Mohammed (S.A.W.) and his sacred progeny, and favor me, O Lord, evermagnifying provisions, its seeking easier and its attainment nearer, and not strain me fromtapping sources having no provisions therein for me. And You are over and above straining me,and I a beggar of Your favor, and peace be on Mohammed (S.A.W.) and his sacred progeny,and ameliorate me by Your favors. Verily You have abundant favors.

Dua-E-Mashlool Prayer Of The Paralytic The effective prayer is undoubtedly an inspired work.Any one who is acquainted with the soul-stirring experience of great religious thoughts cannothelp seeing in these immortal words of Hazrat Ali (as) the dazzling light of Universal Truth.Imam Husain (as) related that once on a cold, wintry night he accompanied his father Hazrat Ali(as) to the Sacred Mosque of the Kaaba and performed the circumambulations. The night waspitch dark and there was no one there except his father and himself. Every one was asleep.Presently, they heard a mournful voice of some one reciting the following poem: " O Thou thatanswereth the prayers of the disconsolate in the depth of darkness; O Thou that wardeth off thebaneful influences of calamities and diseases. Lo, those who surrounded the Kaaba sleep andwake up; But Thou, Exalted be thy Name, never sleepest. Forgive me by the Grace of ThyBounty and Thy Mercy. O Though towards whom all creation bows down in this Sanctuaary! IfThy Mercy be not such as giveth hope to the transgressors, Then who is there to take pity onthe sinners by His Bounty?" Imam Husain (as) related the rest of the story: My father sent metowards the man who was reciting these lines of poetry and I brought him with me into hispresence. Hazrat Ali (as) asked his name and he said, "My name is Manzil Ibn Lahiq. In my

29 / 39



youth I was persisting in sin, while my father used to guide me towards repentance. But Iheeded him not. Instead of listening to him I used to beat him. Now it came to pass that myfather had kept some money hidden away from me. One day I found it and was going out withthe money, to spend it on my follies, when he stopped me and tried to take it away from me, butI twisted his wrist and ran away with the money. Thereupon my father kept a fast and went andperformed the rites of the Sacred Mosque. Then he lifted up his hands and prayed that Godmay inflict upon me the disease of paralysis. Hardly had he done so when I was struck withparalysis and my father went back to his home. I then besought my father to pray for myrecovery in the same place where he had prayed for my affliction. My father, in his infinite loveand kindness, granted my request and we both set out towards Mecca, but as my ill-luck wouldhave it, on the way thither my father's camel suddenly took fright and he was thrown from itsback and killed in a moment. Now I am left to spend the rest of my days in this condition,helpless and forlorn, and people taunt me, saying that I am being punished for courting myfather's displeasure." On hearing the sad tale, Hazrat Ali (as) was moved by pity andcompassion and taught him the following prayer and said: "Perform the ablutions and recite thisprayer tonight". He did so, and the effect was miraculous! Next morning when he came to myfather, he was perfectly cured and carried the text of the prayer in his right hand and exclaimed,"Really this prayer is the 'Isme Azam' because when I lifted up my hands and read this duaseveral times, a deep sleep fell upon me and I dreamt that the Holy Prophet MOhamed(pbuh&hf) came and massaged my body with his own hands.

When I woke up, I found that the illness had completely departed from me. May God rewardthee, O Amir ul Momineen (as) for this miraculous prayer." In view of the above mentionedincident, this dua is called prayer of the paralytic. Imam Husain (as) continues to state that thisdua contains the Isme Azam. Whoever recites it will be relieved of sorrow; cured of illness; hisdebts will be paid up; his poverty will be changed to prosperity; his sins forgiven; his defectshidden; and he shall be granted safety and security from all evil, whether from Satan or fromany worldly potentate, and if any of God's obedient servants recite this prayer, the mountainscan be moved from their place; the dead can be restored to life and water can be turned into icethereby. Hence this prayer has come to us as a source of rejoicing and I (the translator, I think)have learnt it from my father. Imam Husain (as) further directs that this prayer should never berecited in a state of impurity or pollution. This prayer is also referred to as "Dua-e-Khizr".
