*DU'Ā : THE MOST POWERFUL WEAPON OF THE BELIEVER (83)*

اَللّٰھُمَّ إِنَّکَ تَسْمَعُ کَلَامِيْ، وَتَرٰی مَکَانِيْ، وَتَعْلَمُ سِرِّيْ وَعَلَانِیَتِيْ، لَا یَخْفٰی عَلَیْکَ شَيْئٌ مِّنْ أَمْرِيْ، وَأَنَا الْبَائِسُ الْفَقِیْرُ، الْمُسْتَغِیْثُ الْمُسْتَجِیْرُ ، الْوَجِلُ الْمُشْفِقُ الْمُقِرُّ الْمُعْتَرِفُ بَِذنْبِہٖ ۔ أَسْأَلُکَ مَسْأَلَۃَ الْمِسْکِیْنِ، وَأَبْتَھِلْ إِلَیْکَ ابْتِھَالَ الْمُذْنِبِ الذَّلِیْلِ ، وَأَدْعُوْکَ دُعَائَ الْخَائِفِ الضَّرِیْرِ، وَدُعَائَ مَنْ خَضَعَتْ لَکَ رَقَبَتُہٗ ، وَفَاضَتْ لَکَ عَبْرَتُہٗ، وَذَلَّ لَکَ جِسْمُہٗ، وَرَغِمَ لَکَ أَنْفُہٗ ۔ اَللّٰھُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْنِيْ بِدُعَائِکَ شَقِیًّا، وَّکُنْ بِيْ رَئُ وْفًا رَّحِیْمًا، یَّا خَیْرَالْمَسْئُوْلِیْنَ، وَیَا خَیْرَ الْمُعْطِیْنَ - اَللّٰھُمَّ إِلَیْکَ أَشْکُوْ ضُعْفَ قُوَّتِيْ ، وَقِلَّۃَ حِیْلَتِيْ وَھَوَانِيْ عَلٰی النَّاسِ، یَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِیْنَ إِلٰی مَنْ تَکِلْنِيْ؟ إِلٰی عَدُوِّ یَّتَھَجَّمُنِيْ، أَمْ إِلٰی قَرِیْبٍ مَّلَّکَتَہٗ أَمْرِيْ؟ إِنْ لَّمْ تَکُنْ سَاخِطًا عَلَيَّ فَلَا أُبَالِيْ، غَیْرَ أنَّ عَافِیَتَکَ أَوْسَعُ لِيْ

O Allah, You hear my speech and behold my situation. You know my secret and open matters. None of my affairs is concealed from You. And I am the miserable, needy, suppliant, succour-seeking, fearful and anxious person who confuses his sins. I beg of You--- the begging of the destitute. I implore You--- the imploring of an abased sinner. And I make du'ā to You --- the du'ā of the fearful afflicted person, whose neck is bowed down before You, whose eyes pour out tears before You, whose body is humbled before You, and whose nose cleaves to the ground for You. O Allah, do not make me frustrated in my supplication to You. And be Compassionate and Merciful to me. O, the Best of those who are asked, and the Best of all who give. O Allah, I place my complaint before You for my weakness, lack of means, and my insignificance in the eyes of people. O the Most Merciful of those who show mercy, to whom will You entrust me? To an enemy who will oppress me or to the hands of a sympathetic friend whom You have entrusted my affair? (O Allah,) if You are not displeased with me then I do not care for such things. Still, Your protection will be the easier for me.

*Thought For The Day*

ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) guarantees subsistence to whoever worships HIM, victory is for whoever trusts in ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) and asks HIS support. Sufficiency is for whoever takes ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) as his only aim, forgiveness is for whoever asks for it, and ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) will fulfill the needs of whoever asks HIM sincerely and trusts in HIM. He, who is clever, cares for the orders of ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) and knows that ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) is true to HIS promise. ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA) says, *"And whose promise is truer than ALLAAH (SUBHANAHU WA TA'ALA)'S?" [Qur'aan 9:11]*
