Du'a - by young Qari' Ahmed Saud

Meaning of the Du'a
----------------------------


Oh Allah, have mercy on me in the name of the great Qur'aan,
make it for me a guide and light,
And guidance and mercy,

Oh Allah, make me remember that of it which I have forgotten,
Make me know of it, that which I have become ignorant of,
And make me recite it in the hours of the night and day,
And make it an argument for me, O Sustainer of all the worlds,


Oh Allah, set right my faith (religion) which is the safeguard of all my affairs,
And set right for me my world affairs wherein is my living,
And set right for me my Hereafter on which depends my after life,
And make my life a source of abundance for every goodness,
And make my death a source of relief for me,
protecting me from every evil,


Oh Allah! Make the best part of my life the end of it,
And the last of my deeds the best one,
And the best of my days, the day I meet You,


Oh Allah! I ask of You the best whilst living,
And ask for a good death,
And not a shameful or embarassing return,


Oh Allah! I ask you for the best in all affairs,
The best suplication,
The best success,
The best knowledge,
The best deed,
The best reward,
The best life,
And The best death.
Keep me upright,
Make my scale heavy,
confirm my faith,
raise high my status (in the hereafter),


Accept my Swolah,
And forgive my sins,
I ask You for high positions in Paradise,


Oh Allah! I ask You to oblige me with Your mercy,
And determination in getting Your forgiveness,
And the peace from (the effect of) every sin,
And the booty of every reward,
And Success in winning Paradise,
And triumph from (being put in) Hell,


Oh Allah! Make the result of all our affairs, good,
And deliver us from the disgrace of this world
and the torment of the hereafter,


Oh Allah! Distribute amongst us the heedfullness of You, necessary to come between us from the commision of any wrong against You,
The obedience towards You, necessary for us to gain admission into Paradise,
And the unswerving Faith in You, necessary to minimise for us the adversity of tribulations in this world,


Oh Allah! Allow us to enjoy (truly benefit) our hearing, our sight,
and our strength for as long as we live,
And make that enjoyment as our legacy (so that the people that we leave behind benefit from its effect and could continue to pray for us),
and we leave to You our vengeance upon those that have wronged us,
And give us victory over our enemies,
And try us not in our faith,
Neither make this world our greatest concern,
nor the extent of our knowledge,
Nor give to those who is merciless, power to rule over us (i.e. who would oppress us),


Oh Allah! Leave no sins of ours in this assembly
except that You have forgiven them,
Nor leave any grief without it being relieved (by You),
Nor any debt without it being being paid (settled),
Nor any difficulty in this life or the hereafter without it being facilitated,
Oh! the Most Merciful of all that is merciful,


Our Lord! Give us the good of this world and the hereafter,
And save us from the torment of the Hell-fire,


Oh Allah! send peace and salutation upon Muhammed (PBUH) and his family, his companions and those that follow him,

AMEEN!
