wretched and happy, bestow the honours of Your blessings, fruits of Your barakat
and the compassion of Your tenderness on our master Mohammed, Your slave and
Messenger, the opener to what is locked, the seal of what has preceded, the
announcer of the Truth by the Truth, and the victor over the armies of
trivialities as he was charged. He undertook Your command with obedience to You,
hastening to please you, heedful of Your revelation, preserving Your covenant,
and executing Your command. He kindled a firebrand for the one who sought it so
that by means of it the blessings of Allah would reach his family. Hearts are
guided by it after they were engrossed in temptations and sin. He gladdens with
manifest signs, shining judgements and the lights of Islam. He is Your trusty
guardian and the treasurer of Your stored-up knowledge, and Your witness on the
Day of Resurrection. He is sent by You as a blessing, and Your Messenger is in
truth a mercy.
O Allah! Expand a space for him in Your Paradise and
reward him with doubled blessing from Your favour, and delightful unsullied
things from the attainment of Your unfettered reward, and Your abundant
redoubled gifts.
O Allah, raise up his structure over that of people and
be generous to his abode and quarters with You. Complete his light for him and
requite him from Your delegation so that his testimony is accepted and his words
are pleasing with just words, a decisive direction and mighty proof.
"Allah and His angels call down blessings on the
Prophet. O you who believe! Call down blessings on him and ask for complete
peace and safety for him."
At Your service O Allah! My Lord, and ready to aid! May
the blessings of Allah, the Kind, the Most Merciful, and the near angels, the
Prophets, the true, the martyrs, the righteous and whatever glorifies You, O
Lord of the worlds, be upon our master Mohammed ibn 'Abdullah, the Seal of the
Prophets, and the Master of the Messengers, the Imam of the godfearing and the
Messenger of the Lord of the worlds, the Witness, bringer of good tidings, the
one who calls to You with Your permission, the luminous lamp, and peace be upon
him.
O Allah! Bestow Your blessings, barakat and mercy on
the Master of the Messengers and the Imam of the godfearing, the Seal of the
Prophets, our master Mohammed, Your slave and Messenger, the Imam of Good, the
Leader of Good and the Messenger of Mercy.

his pure family, and grant them peace.
O Allah, bless our master Mohammed, and the family of

Then
you pray with this du'a and the answer is hoped for, insha'llah, after the
prayer on the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace:
O Allah, make me among those who cling to the religion
of Your Prophet, our master Mohammed (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
and exalt his respect, magnify his word, preserve his covenant and protection,
give his party and calling victory, increase his followers and party, deliver
his party, and do not let them oppose his way and sunna.
O Allah, I ask You for adherence to his sunna, and I
seek refuge with You from deviating from what he has brought.
O Allah, I ask You for the good which our master
Mohammed, Your Prophet and Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
asked You for, and I take refuge with You from the evil of what our master
Mohammed, Your Prophet and Messenger (may Allah bless him and grant him peace)
took refuge with You from.
O Allah, preserve me from the evil of trials and
protect me from all afflictions and put right what appears from me and what is
hidden, and purify my heart from rancour and envy, and do not place on me
subservience to anyone.
O Allah, I ask You to take what is best that You know
and leave the evil that You know, and I ask You to guarantee my provision, for
zuhd in sufficiency, a way out by clarity from every uncertainty, success with
proper action in every argument, justice in anger and pleasure, submission to
what the Decree brings, moderation in poverty and wealth, humility in speech and
action, and sincerity in gravity and jest.
O Allah, I have wrong actions in what is between me and
You, and wrong actions in what is between me and Your creation.
O Allah, forgive what You have of them, and remove from
me what Your creation has of them, and enrich me with Your bounty, Your
forgiveness is All-Encompassing.
O Allah, illuminate my heart with knowledge, make my
body obedient to You, purify my secret from temptations, occupy my thoughts with
reflection, preserve me from the evil of the whisperings of the Satan, and
protect me from him until he has no power over me, O All-Merciful!
