Dua of need in our troubled times

Dua of need in our troubled times

مناجاة

إلهِي، لَقَد طَغَى الظُّلمُ وَالقَتلُ وَالتَّشْرِيدُ، وَاشْتَدَّتِ الظُّلماتُ، وَكثُرَ الطُّغَاةُ وَالموبِقَاتُ، وَازْدَادَتِ الفُرْقَةُ وَالخِلَافَاتُ.
إلهِي، انقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ، وَسُدَّتِ الطُّرُقُ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ، أَنتَ الغَنِيُّ وَنَحْنُ الفُقَرَاءُ إِلَيْكَ، لَيْسَ لَنَا رَبٌّ سِوَاكَ نَدْعُوهُ، وَلَا إِلَٰهَ غَيْرُكَ نَرْجُوهُ، اَرْفَعْ عَنِ الأُمَّةِ الهَرْجَ وَالضَّيْمَ، وَالقَهْرَ وَالذُّلَّ، وَالظُّلْمَ وَالمَهَانَةَ الَّتِي نَحْنُ فِيهَا، اجْمَعْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَيْكَ، وَوَحِّدْ صُفُوفَنَا، وَطَهِّرْهَا مِنَ المُنافِقِينَ وَالغَادِرِينَ وَالمُثَبِّطِينَ وَالخَائِنِينَ وَالمُخَذِّلينَ.

إلهِي، لَا عُذْرَ لَنَا فَنَعْتَذِرُ، وَلَا حُجَّةَ لَنَا فَنَنتَصِرُ، وَلَكِنَّنَا جِئْنَاكَ مَسَاكِينَ مُتَذَلِّلِينَ، مُتَوَسِّلِينَ إِلَيْكَ لِرِضَاكَ، وَمُنْتَظِرِينَ لِفَرَجِكَ وَعَفْوِكَ وَمَغْفِرَتِكَ.
نَسْأَلُكَ يَا غَفُورُ يَا رَحِيمُ بِحَقِّ قَوْلِكَ الكَرِيمِ: “سَبَقَتْ رَحْمَتِي غَضَبِي” أَنْ تَعُمَّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي بَدَأْتَ كِتَابَكَ الكَرِيمَ بِبِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، وَقُلْتَ: (ثُمَّ تَابَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيَتُوبُوا)، فَابْدَأْنَا اليَوْمَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَالتَّوْبَةِ يَا اللَّهُ، يَا قَابِلَ التَّوْبِ، وَيَا غَافِرَ الذَّنْبِ.

إلهِي، إِنَّكَ قُلتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الحَقُّ: “أَنَا عِندَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي”، نُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّنَا لَا نَظُنُّ بِكَ إِلَّا خَيْرًا، بِأَنَّكَ سَتَرْحَمُنَا وَتَغْفِرُ لَنَا، يَا غَفُورُ يَا رَحِيمُ، وَتَتُوبُ عَلَيْنَا يَا تُوَابُ، وَتُوَسِّعُ أَرْزَاقَنَا يَا رَزَّاقُ، وَتَهْدِينَا وَأَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَهْلِينَا يَا هَادِي، وَتُثَبِّتَنَا عَلَى الْحَقِّ، وَتَكْتُبَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَتُفَرِّجُ كُرُوبَ الأُمَّةِ، وَتَرْفَعُ عَنَّا الغُمَّةَ، وَتَنْصُرُ المُسْتَضْعَفِينَ وَالْمَظْلُومِينَ، وَتَنتَقِمُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ المُعْتَدِينَ المُتَكَبِّرِينَ.

إلهِي، إِنَّا نَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِقَوْلِكَ: (وَإِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَن تَابَ وَآمَنَ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى)، يَا رَبُّ جِئْنَاكَ تَائِبِينَ فَلَا تَرُدَّنَا خَائِبِينَ، وَامْنَحْنَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ التَّوْبَةَ وَالْمَغْفِرَةَ، وَالعَفْوَ وَالعَافِيَةَ، وَالرَّحْمَةَ وَالقَبُولَ يَا رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ.
وَاجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَكَ، مِنَ التَّوَابِينَ الأَوَّابِينَ الَّذِينَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ. وَاجْعَلْنَا مَفَاتِيحَ لِلْخَيْرِ مَغَالِيقَ لِلشَّرِّ، وَمِنَ الثَّابِتِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ، الدَّاعِينَ إِلَيْهِ، مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُيَسِّرِينَ، حُكَمَاءَ وَرُحَمَاءَ.

اللَّهُمَّ أَنتَ رَبُّنَا لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ خَلَقْتَنَا وَنَحْنُ عِبَادُكَ، وَنَحْنُ عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْنَا، نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْنَا، نَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيْنَا، وَنَبُوءُ بِذُنُوبِنَا، فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنتَ.
وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ وَسَلَّمَ وَبَارَكَ عَلَى خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ.
آمِينَ وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ.

Supplication (Munaajat)

My Lord, injustice, killing, and displacement have overwhelmed us. The darkness has intensified, and the tyrants and sins have multiplied. Division and disagreements have increased.

My Lord, all hope is cut off except through You, and all paths are closed except to You. You are the Self-Sufficient, and we are the needy before You. We have no Lord but You to call upon, nor any deity to place our hope on but you. Lift from the Ummah the confusion, oppression, cruelty, humiliation, injustice, and degradation we are suffering. Unite our hearts in devotion to You, strengthen our ranks, and purify them from the hypocrites, the treacherous, the discouragers, and the betrayers.

My Lord, we have no excuse to offer, nor any justification to defend ourselves, but we have come to You as humble and submissive servants, pleading for Your satisfaction, awaiting Your relief, forgiveness, and pardon. We ask You, O Most Forgiving, O Most Merciful, by Your noble words: “My mercy precedes My anger,” to encompass us with Your mercy. You are the One who began Your glorious Book with “In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,” and You said: “Then He turned to them that they might repent.” So begin with us today with forgiveness and repentance, O Allah, O Accepter of repentance, O Forgiver of sins.

My Lord, You said, and Your word is the truth: “I am as My servant thinks of Me.” We bear witness to You that we think of You only with goodness, that You will have mercy on us and forgive us, O Most Forgiving, O Most Merciful. We ask You to grant us repentance, O Oft-Relenting, expand our provisions, O Provider. Guide us and our children and our families, O Guide, and strengthen us in the truth. Write us among the people of Paradise, relieve the distress of the Ummah, remove the gloom from us, and grant victory to the oppressed and the wronged. Take revenge on the unjust, the aggressors, and the arrogant.

My Lord, we beseech You with Your words: “And I am indeed the Forgiver of those who repent, believe, and do righteous deeds, and then remain steadfast.” O Lord, we come to You as repentant; do not send us away disappointed. Grant us this hour repentance and forgiveness, pardon and well-being, mercy and acceptance, O Lord of the worlds.

Make us among those whom You love and who love You, the repentant and the returning, who have no fear and will not grieve. Make us keys to goodness and locks to evil, steadfast in the truth, calling to it, giving glad tidings, facilitating it, wise and merciful.

O Allah, You are our Lord, there is no deity but You. You created us and we are Your servants. We are bound by Your covenant and honour our promise to you as much as we are able. We seek refuge in You from the evil of what we have done. We acknowledge Your blessings upon us and confess our sins. So forgive us, for none forgives sins except You.

May Allah’s peace, blessings, and mercy be upon the best of His creation, our Master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

Ameen, and all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
