Dua 1: Jaushan Sagheer

Arabic at Dua’a Jaushan E Sagheer

1] My God, many an enemy drew up the sword of hostility against me, honed the dagger’s edge, sharpened the arrows’ points, made ready deadly poisons, leveled his bow at me, and, keeping an eye on me, harbored evil thoughts to force me to swallow, against my will, the deadly bitter poison.
Thou came to know that I am too weak to bear hardships and too exhausted to withstand misfortunes, and took notice of my shortcoming that I cannot confront the enemy who had planned to attack me, and perceived my isolation amid the multitude of gathering enemies, sitting in ditches, ready to pounce upon me, while I gave no thought to sitting in ambush and retaliating. So with Thy might, Thou came to stand by me, and Thy help made me strong and disappointed him in spite of the larger number [of his forces], by rendering his weapons unserviceable. And Thou gave me the upper hand over him by catching him in the very trap he laid for me, and threw him into the abyss he dug for me, and gave no hand to his grudging deed, and did not allow him to assuage the fury of his anger. Biting his thumb, he turned back on his heels, and his comrades, ashamed, dispersed in haste.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.

[2] My God, many a disobedient tyrant has tried treacherously to oppress me, has laid traps to catch me, was continuously spying on me, and, like a beast of prey who lies in wait for his prey, has tried to surprise me, whereas in public he received me with open arms and a welcoming smile on his face, as if innocent.
So when Thou took notice of his clandestine trickery and foul play and the fact that in spite of professing the same faith he was devising schemes to injure me, then Thou contemptuously caught hold of him and threw him down headlong, completely destroying him; after which he found himself in the ditch he had dug for me, smeared with the dust below his feet poverty and disease overtook him. Thus Thou rewarded him in kind by making the stones and arrows he hurled at me rebound upon him, and by putting his own rope around his neck. Shame and disappointment came upon him, he suffered disgrace and dishonour, his pride and arrogance gave way to humility, his power turned into helplessness, and finally, at the last moment, when he was sure to overwhelm me, he fell into his own trap and was caught and bound with the rope made for me in the days of his authority.
In fact it was me who would have suffered likewise if Thou, O my Lord, had not come to my rescue with Thy mercy.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[3] My God, many an envier, sick in his throat with grudges and choked up with anger, has cast a slur on me in an attempt to hurt me with his loose talk and to brand me unfairly with his own defects, slyly frowned upon me, exposed my integrity to his insinuating remarks, and wrongly put the burden of his sins on my shoulders. Therefore, I called upon Thee, O my Lord, expecting to receive Thy help, believing in Thy prompt response, confident of Thy immediate action to disperse the affliction, a fact of which I have always been aware, and knowing full well that whoever comes under Thy merciful protection is never betrayed, and whoever turns to Thee for help is never turned out. So Thou preserved me in safety from the harm of his threats, and through Thy All-Prevailing Power put an end to his evil schemes.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[4] My God, many a dark cloud bearing sorrow and misery has been dispersed by Thee; Thy blessings have dropped from the heavens like gentle rain, and Thy favours have flowed like abounding rivers; Thou hast dried up the source of misfortune, bestowed extra benefits, made available reliable protection, kept away violent calamities, and set forth events [in my favour], in strict compliance with Thy commands, never going wayward, and moving on the appointed course, never overstepping.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
My God, many a hopeful expectation I cherished which Thou realized; and Thou blocked the inroad of poverty into my life, neutralized the severity of mortal calamities, and removed many a hardship.
Thou art not accountable for what Thou does, whereas others are. Thou give out everything but never run short of anything. Thou bestow whenever beseeched, and many a time takes the initiative. Thy benefaction never falls short of expectations. It is not for Thee, O Lord, to be less than rewarding, obliging, benevolent, and beneficent.
Although Thou went on bestowing benefits, favours, and bounties, I failed to observe Thy prohibitions, took liberties, and, unmindful of Thy warnings, gave in to my adversary and did not oppose Thy enemy.
My God and my helper, I was guilty of not being thankful for Thy beneficence, because of which I could not prevent myself making mistakes.
My God, here stands Thy humble servant, who knows and testifies that Thou art one, and makes admission of falling short of discharging his duty towards Thee, and gives evidence of Thy countless blessings and excellent kindness and abundant good. So, my God, my Master, mercifully give me what I want through Thy mercy, so that I may aspire for Thy mercy, and through it reach the height where Thy approval is available and where there is freedom from Thy displeasure, in the name of Thy Might and overswaying Power, and for the sake of Thy Prophet, Muhammad, may the blessings of Allah be upon him and upon his family.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[6] My God, many a living being suffers the constant agony of death, day in, day out, and hears the rattling sound passing through his gasping throat. What he stands face to face with makes his heart tremble with fear, and a cold feverish shivering runs through the body, but I am kept free from this terrible experience.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[7] My God, many a living being is ailing, day in, day out, suffering pain, on the threshold of death, restless and crying in anguish, finding no relief. Neither food nor drinks pass easily down his throat, both are tasteless, but I am safe and sound, living a peaceful and easy life, on account of Thy kind attention and care.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[8] My God, many a living being is constantly in fear, terrified, sleepless, forsaken, alone, timid, fugitive, exiled, petrified, caught in distress, running away in frustration, and in the wide world, there is no place to rest for a while, neither can devise or find a way out, or escape, but I am safe, secure, satisfied, and comfortable.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[9] My God and Master, many a living being is oppressed and kept prisoner, day after day, under the harsh control of ruthless enemies and infidels, separated from his family and children, cut off from his friends and home, imagining how death will come, and how torture will beset him, but I am safe from all this.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[10] My God, many a living being is constantly in the midst of fierce wars, and is challenged in the battlefield. Surrounded by the armed enemy on all sides, shaking feverishly inside his amour, trying desperately to use artifices and schemes to get out of a tight situation, yet finding none is finally reduced to pieces with cuts and wounds, falling down on the ground in the pool of his own blood, struggling in vain under the pounding hooves and boots to lay hands on water, or to have a glimpse of those dear to him, but I am safe from all this.
[11] So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
My God, many a living being, day in, day out, drifts over the perilous seas, in the midst of terrifying hurricanes and surging waves, sure of death by drowning, yet is unable to attain safety. There are others who are hit by lightning, or buried alive under destroyed buildings, or consumed by fire, or thrown into deep waters, or suffocated, or drowned, or emaciated, or stoned to death. But I am safe from all this.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[12] My God, many a living being journeys in foreign lands, far away from kith and kin, wandering in frustration, alone, lost among the beasts and reptiles, unable to find a way out, enduring the torture of extreme cold, heat, and thirst, stripped of clothing, in addition to many other hardships which I have been spared.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours
My God and Master, many a living being is poor, needy, exposed, unemployed, trembling, striving, afraid, starving, thirsty, and looking for someone who may lend a hand, or expecting that one of Thy more devoted and close servants will come to his rescue, subdued by the heavy load of hard labour, tired from burdensome servitude, short of provisions, encumbered with taxes, surrounded by terrible calamities, and cannot turn to anyone but Thee to driving away disasters, but I have men who obey me, I enjoy a pleasant life, I am privileged and honoured, and I am safe from his misfortunes.
So praise be to Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours.
[14] My God and Master, many a living being, day in, day out, wanders in exile, dismayed, bewildered, hungry, and scared, cut off from civilization, lost in deserts and jungles, burnt by the scorching sun and withered away by extreme cold, deprived of comforts, lifeless, reduced to abject humiliation, and looks at reality in frustration, having no control over gain or loss, but I am free from all this on account of Thy Generosity and Kindness.
There is no God save Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours, and have mercy on me, through Thy mercy, O Most Merciful.
[15] My God, my Lord and my Master, many a living being is constantly disabled, sick, ailing, bedridden by chronic disease, writhing with pain under the bedsheets, knowing not what the taste of food or drinks is, and looks at reality in frustration, having no control over gain or loss, but I am free from all this, on account of Thy Generosity and Kindness.
There is no God save Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours, and have mercy on me, through Thy mercy, O Most Merciful.
[16] My God, my Lord, my Master, many a living being, day in, day out, lies on his deathbed, in the clutches of the angel of death; and in the hour of death, among his friends, looks about, right and left, silently directing his attention upon his comrades, colleagues, and dear ones, not able to talk to and prevented from conversing, and looks at reality in frustration, having no control over gain or loss, but I am free from all this on account of Thy Generosity and Kindness.
There is no God save Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours, and have mercy on me, through Thy mercy, O Most Merciful.
[17] My God, my Lord and my Master, many a living being, day after day, is kept a prisoner in narrow gloomy corners, crying, groaning, humiliated, chained, insulted, harshly treated, pushed around, not knowing what is lying in wait or what punishment will be inflicted to set an example; deprived of comforts, short of provisions, he looks at reality in frustration, having no control over gain or loss, but I am free from all this, on account of Thy Generosity, and Kindness.
There is no God save Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours, and have mercy on me, through Thy mercy, O Most Merciful.
[18] My God, my Lord and my Master, many a living being is permanently bound to the unalterable destiny of death which surrounds him on all sides; set apart from friends, colleagues, near and dear ones, he is a petty and meek slave in the hands of non-believing enemies, who hold him by the leash and keep him in chains, locked up in dark and damp underground holes from where he cannot see the bright and beautiful world; and he looks at reality in frustration, having no control over gain or loss; but I am free from all this on account of Thy Generosity and Kindness.
There is no God save Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours, and have mercy on me, through Thy mercy, O Most Merciful.
[19] My God, my Lord and my Master, many a living being, day in, day out, runs after mundane interests, until greed of worldly gains lands him in trouble, and [he is like one who] jumps into a boat and find it breaking into many pieces, and from the cruel waves of the sea look at reality in frustration, having no control over gain or loss.
And I am free from all this on account of Thy Generosity and Thy Kindness. So there is no god save Thee, glory be to Thee in [Thy] invulnerable omnipotence and unhurried forbearance. Send blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours, and have mercy on me, through Thy mercy, O Most Merciful.
[20] My God, My Lord and my Master, many a living being is permanently bound to the unchangeable destiny of death, and is surrounded by ill luck; infidels and enemies, with spears, swords, and arrows, come suddenly upon him and throw him to the ground which sucks up his blood, and beasts and birds of prey devour his flesh; but I am free from all this on account of Thy Generosity and Kindness, though I do not deserve Thy favour.

There is no God save Thee, O Lord, in [Thy] invulnerable Omnipotence, and prudent Forbearance. Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and let me be among those who thank Thee for Thy bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours, and have mercy on me, through Thy mercy, O Most Merciful.
[21] And in the name of Thy Authority and Majesty, O Generous One, I beg repeatedly for what is with Thee, and turn to Thee, and I humbly beseech Thee with outstretched hands, hands which have sinned. So I take refuge with Thee only, O my Lord, because otherwise whose protection may I seek? Unto whom may I turn for shelter? Therefore, I come under Thy protection, and I devote myself entirely to Thee, and to no one else. Wilt Thou turn me out? Thou art my last resort. I rely upon Thee and beseech Thee in Thy name which set up the heavens, made the earth stable and steady, elevated the mountains, overshadowed the night, and illuminated the day.
Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad; and satisfy all my wants, and forgive all my major and minor sins, and give me sufficient livelihood so that I may win distinction in this world and the next, O Most Merciful.
[22] My Master, I seek Thy help; bless Muhammad and his family, and give me Thy patronage.
I turn to Thee; so keep me fully satisfied with [Thy] recompense, so that I may serve Thee and beseech Thee, instead of going to others; and give me honourable sufficiency in place of dishonourable poverty, and substitute the weakness of disobedience with the strength of obedience.
Thou has given me preference over many a creature, and bestowed upon me favours and benefits, although I did not deserve them.
My God, praise be to Thee for all this, bless Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, and let me be like those who thank Thee for [Thy] bounties and remember Thee for Thy favours; and have mercy on me, through Thy Mercy, O Most Merciful.

Then Prostrate and recite the following: The lowly and meek turns his face towards the Highest and the Mightiest.
The withered mortal forehead prostrates before the Everlasting, the Everliving.
The impoverished forehead prostrates before the Richest and the Greatest.
Prostrate before the Lord of the worlds, O my face, ears, eyes, flesh, blood, skin, and bones, and all that which is mine on this earth.
My God, give me Thy indulgence in return for my ignorance, in return for my poverty Thy Plenty, in return for my helplessness Thy Power and Authority, in return for my weakness Thy Strength, in return for my fear Thy Amnesty, in return for my offenses and errors Thy Forgiveness and Mercy, O Beneficent, O merciful.
O my God, with Thy help I will drive away misfortunes towards . . . [Mention here the name of your enemy with his father’s name], and take refuge with Thee from his mischief. So keep me safe from him, as Thou kept safe Thy pious prophets and close friends among Thy creatures from the clutches of the disobedient Pharaohs; and I seek Thy shelter from the evil of all created things, through Thy Mercy, O Most Merciful.
Verily Thou art able to do all things, and for us Allah is sufficient, [He] is the best protector.

Dua 2: Sabasab

Arabic at Dua-e-Sabaasab

O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and on the Progeny of Mohammad.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

“So then Moosa became Nervous, a little anxious. We (Allah) said “worry not. You will positively have the Upper hand. (Staff): it will swallow up the Spellbinding artifice (ropes looking like Snakes) manipulated by a sorcerer who Shall not be successful, Whatever tricks he plays. Then the sorcerers put their foreheads on The ground and announced “We believe In the Lord of Moosa and Haroon” Thus They there were defeated and brought low. Thus the truth was established and that which they were doing was made vain Then We inspired Moosa Saying: “Strike The sea with your staff”. Then it put apart (the sea) into two high mountains of water. I have taken refuge with Allah, my Lord, And Lord of one and all magicians, The deceit of the treacherous, the trickery Of the swindlers, And from the harm of all the Poisonous animals, Vicious reptiles, Vicious reptiles, Vile disposition: And from the evil of all wickedness, From the violent fury of the oppressors, From the violent fry of the Oppressors, And the highhandedness of all Enemies, And the intrigue of the secret Plotters. I repulsed their offensive assault in the name of Allah. I took refuge with Allah from Their evil. I asked for Allah’s help against Them. I cut off the neck of their false Pretensions by the Divine Wisdom. I walled in inside the Divine Fortress to defend against their Soldiers. I pushed them back by the Predominant thrust of Allah, The distinct Sovereign, I hit and killed them by the Deadly arrow and sharp sword Of Allah, I caught hold of them, With the superior might of Allah, Dispersed them with the Permission of Allah, Threw them into chaos by the Divine decisive method, Pulled them to pieces with the Strength of Allah, Scattered them to the wind, Divided and forsaken, with the Power of Allah. There is no power and no Might except Allah’s the Greatest. I defeated the dishonest trick Ster with the powerful army Of Allah. I overcame the hostile enemy With the authority of Allah, The great. I destroyed him, who hatched Plots, with the infallible Strategy of the Almighty Allah. I broke the conspirator into Pieces with subtle policy of Allah, the Ever – Alert. I pushed back the transgressor In the name of the Glory of Allah, the impregnable. There is no power, no might, No dignity, no support, No victory, no help, No honour, except (with) Allah, the High, the Mighty. Allah’s blessings be on our Master and prophet Muhammad, and on his pure Descendents. I have conquered the troops (of enemies) with the power Of Allah; I put terror in their hearts, By the support of Allah. I created fear in the pit of their Stomachs, in the name of Allah’s honour. They have been thrown into Chaos by me with the authority Of Allah. They have been torn to pieces By me with the strength of Allah. They have been destroyed and Ruined by me with the omnipotence of Allah. I have taken away their power Of hearing and seeing; and destroyed The strength of their Limbs, and their confidence, With the superior unyielding Persevering and resolute power Of Allah. They have been driven away By me with the help of Divine Strategy of Allah, the High, The Great, and the All-powerful. They have been conquered, Worn down, disgraced, together With their soldiers, helpers, and Well- wishers by me with the Unfaltering aid, true and evident Help of Allah. They are now overwhelmed, Over-awed, Frightened, Frustrated Humiliated, Over-powered, Broken down Bound in chains, Out of breath, Tamed, Subdued. O Allah keep them away From us by Thy wisdom and Might, power and authority; Disunited, Mutilated, Out of breath, Tamed, Subdued, Distressed, Frightened, Humbled, Wandering, Forsaken, Overpowered Bewildered, Disappointed, Obscured, Gone astray while taking flight, Confused in their intentions, Perplexed in their hideouts, Tied up to their destruction, Engrossed in their physical Pleasures, With wounded bodies, Deteriorated minds, Their expectations cut off, Their arms and ammunition Unusable, Disillusioned in their intentions, Exposed to disgrace in their Escape, Thrown on the ground upon Their faces, Confused in their thoughts, Their hearts sealed off, Their hearts sealed off Their moratorium put aside, Their perception dimmed, Tied up to sluggishness, Addicted to sensuous pleasures And (restricted) to their limited Understanding, Their help exposed to calamities, And their soldiers pushed back. O Allah, keep safe from their Plan of action, Give help to ward off their Mischief, O Allah, apprehend them At once, be hard on Them and bring loss upon them As a punishment; Denied by everybody, thrown To the ground, Choked in breathing, Spell-bound in enjoyment, Thrown with the face on the Ground, suffocated Strangled in their own ropes and strings.
Bound in fetters, Kept tied up, Shackled in chains, Knocked down by disastrous Calamities, one after another Screaming in the agony of Trial, Cut off from roots, Abandoned to calamities and Loss, Deprived of their booty and Loot, Their supremacy vanquished O He who is always close by In misfortunes, Comes to help the needy when He makes a request. Allah has pre-ordained, “victory for Me and for My Messengers” Verily Allah is strong and Mighty.
Beware! Certainly only the Surely my protector is Allah, Who sent down the book, and Stands by the virtuous. “Verily, I ( Allah ) am sufficient For you against the sham Defiers, So I helped the faithful against Their enemies, and truth came To light.” There is no god save Allah, The one and only, who fulfilled His promise, and helped His servant and backed up His Group; And Himself destroyed the Hordes of the (infidels). So, His is the Kingdom, and (all) praise is for Him (Only). (all) praise is (only) for Allah, The Lord of the worlds. From the very beginning I Have taken refuge, in the safest Sanctuary of Allah, Under His shelter, never left Unguarded, Under the protection of Allah, Never rendered inaccessible, In the unconquerable and unfailing might of Allah, With His servants who are Never humbled, With His fighting force, never Subdued, In His unassailable quarters. In the name of Allah I began, And in the name of Allah I Came through, Became powerful, attacked and Won With the help of Allah’s might I overthrow my enemies. By the glory and greatness of Allah I defeat them, Subdue them with the wisdom And strength of Allah.
I grow strong, remain on guard And step forth against them in The name of Allah, And commit my affairs to Allah. Allah is sufficient for us, He Is the best Protector. “And you see them looking Towards you, but they do not See. Deaf, dumb and blind, And they will not return.” Command of Allah has come, Word of Allah has prevailed, The evident proof of Allah Has been made known to the Shameless enemies of Allah, The lackeys of Satan. They cannot prevail against you But may injure you a little; And if they fight they will run Away; Having no help thereafter, Inflicted with disgrace and Misery, Very sour when caught hold of, and always destroyed in Battles. They will not fight (in the Open battlefield) unless barricaded From all sides, and what Is out of sight is tightly Enclosed. They fight fiercely among Themselves; You think they are united, But their minds are confused, Because they are a people Without the power to reason” I have kept myself safe from Them inside fully fortified
Enclosure, Neither they can come in at Daytime nor break in at night. I receive strong support. I have entered the impregnable Sanctuary, And I cling and hold to the Steady rope. I protect myself with the Reliable strength of Allah, With the shield of Ameerul Momineen, peace be on him And take refuge with his Security, And put the seal-ring of Sulayman, son of Dawood Peace be on them, on my Finger. Wherever I go I find peace and Security, But my enemies are in disarray, Despised and ridiculed by one And all, Wrapped in disgrace and Inferiority, Bound in chains. I have set up protective Defence all around me, I am inside majestic palaces, Coronated with a dignified Crown, The mighty ever-sharp sword in My hand, Beyond the visual range of evil Eyes, Away from the dubious Surmises. My soul is at peace, Free from the danger of Enemies, Who have been tamed: and Afraid of me, are running away, As wild asses take to flight, Scared of a lion.
They are helpless to carry out Intrigues, which they planned against me. Their ears have turned deaf To hearing slanders about me, Their eyes have been deprived of sight, Their eyes have been deprived of sight, Their tongues are unable to Speak (ill) of me, Their minds are unfit to Identify me, their hearts take fright and Sink low before me.
Trembling they break off, Afraid of me, Abandoning their aim, Their pomp and show ending In a fiasco, Their determination is Crumbling, Their followers are deserting, Their affairs are in a mess, Discord in their opinions, their helpers are weakened, Their army is vanquished, As foretold those who return Back would be routed Altogether.
Certainly this is the promised Hour, the hour of disaster, I break into pieces their Haughtiness by the sublime ness of Allah In the manner of Ali (peace be on him), the matchless warrior, who turned upside down antagonism, and pointed out suppositions and surmises. I found favourable circumstances In the name of the Wonderful names and sublime verses of Allah. I beat my enemies black and Blue beyond repair, with Powerful blows, Their equipment is now in my Control, They are humbled, their ring-
Leaders are exterminated. Their guards and defenses lay In ruins, Their heads submissively hang In shame.
He who came after me has been waylaid, and he who Fought me has been liquidated. So I am victorious, happy, successful, triumphant. Verily I faithfully adhere to Pious expression, and hold Fast the safest handle (Islam): The strong rope is in my grip.
No more will the revolt of traitors, Deceit of imposters, or Ill-will of the greedy harm Me, till eternity. Never shall any one deceive Me. Never shall any one hurt me. Never shall any one take me For granted. “Say: I call upon my Lord: and I do not associate any one with Him. O Bestower of bounties! Give Me peace of mind, and protection against my enemies: and Appoint between me and them Exacting and active angels.
Help me with a large army and Obedient assistants, who could turn them away with penetrating superior means, drive them away with death-dealing blows, hit them with Sharp swords, shoot at them burning fireballs, burn them with consuming heat, reduce them to ashes with blazing flames. Under attack from all sides, in perpetual torment, except Him who is torn off by a wild beast (death) I attacked, challenged, came Upon, and overpowered Them, with the help of “Bismillaahir-Rah’ maanir- Raheem”, “T’aahaa”, “Yaa Seeen”, “D’ aariyaat”, “T’uwaseen” “Tanzeel”, “H’awaameem” revelaton and wisdom, “Kaaaf-Haa-Yaa-A’yyyn S’aaad” “H’aa-Meeem: A’yyyn-Seeen-Qaaaf” “Qaaf” of the Holy Quraan, “Noon”, “the pen and “what is written”, “stages of the stars”:, “T’oor”, “The written Book, spread in pages”,
“The House in heaven above the Kaa’-bah”, “The raised skies:” “The swelling sea”. Verily, the wrath of your Lord Will fall on, which no one Can put off. So they went backwards, Showing their heels; Isolated, sat in their homes, Sleepy and gloomy.
Truth won, And what they were doing had Been rendered useless. Overpowered, overthrown, Humbled. Spell of magic bro- Ken: there was total submission. So Allah protected him (Moosa) from the evil tricks, and put an end to their intentions, and to their comical ridicule, and brought down severe punishment upon the people of pharaoh: and the deceitful artifice was frustrated by the Divine wisdom. Allah is the ablest planner. Some people tried to scare a Group of ( faithful ) men by Telling them that an united Crowd was planning to hurt Them, but their faith grew more Strong, And they said “Allah is Sufficient for us. He is the Best Protector”.
From Allah favours and Bounties came in for them, And the evil touched them not, Because they obediently Aspired for Allah’s blessings. Allah is the Possessor of Abundant favours. O Allah, I seek Thy protection Against their evil designs, And Thou will nip in the bud Their opposition. I ask for the good, which is With Thee, O Allah.
“Verily soon you will find that Allah is sufficient for you. He is (the Best) Hearer, Knower.” Jibraa-eel is on my right hand, Meekaa-eel is on my left, Muhammad (blessings of Allah Be on him and his descendents Is in front, Ameerul Moomineen, peace be On him, is on my back, and Allah, the High, stays continually near over me. O He who put a barrier Between the two seas, Draw a curtain between me And my enemies, So that no harm may reach Me. Between me and my enemies Allah is the shield. Verily Allah’s shield is the Safest. Allah is sufficient to protect Me, There is no one who can Protect me except Him. “When you recite the Holy Quran, We ( Allah) draw an invisible Curtain between you and those Who do not believe in the Hereafter, And make their minds senile, And their ears deaf, When you recite (in Quran) That Allah is one they turn Sour in aversion.
Verily We have put on their Necks chains reaching unto the Chins, so that they are made Stiff-necked. And We have set a bar before Them and a bar behind them, And (thus) have covered them So that they see not.”
O Allah, draw Thy protective Curtains around me, that cannot be disheveled by Blowing winds, Nor can be pierced by spears. Through Thy Holy Spirit save My soul, for whoso comes Under its cover, is reverently Looked upto, And it creates awe and fear in the hearts of all the created Beings.
Allow me to recite Thy Beautiful names, And remember Thy high Similitues. Give me peace and goodness In that which I aspire for this Worldly life, and for the Hereafter.
Turn away the eyes of intense Starer, And substitute the hatred, Concealed in their hearts, with Goodwill, Which no one can do (except Thee). O Allah, Thou art my Sanctuary, Therefore, I take refuge with Thee. Thou art my support, Therefore, I seek Thy protection. O He before Whom the Arrogant necks bow down, and the heads of pharaohs Bent low in submission. Make me steady and careful Not be put to shame, Not to leave Thy protective Shield, Not to forget Thy remembrance, Not to be ungrateful to Thee. I remain under Thy protection, In darkness, or in daytime, At home, or in journey. Thy remembrance is my habit, Thy glorification is my routine.
O Allah, day in and day out My fear seeks Thy peaceful Sanctuary: So keep away Thy displeasure, And the hatred of Thy servants From me. Surround me with Thy Protective shield, And take me in under the Canvass of Thy favours. Deliver my soul through Thy Generosity. Set me free from the necessity Of going to wicked men for Help. I seek Thy support to avoid Corrupt companions, Ominous moments, Hostile enemies, Threatening calamities.
I take refuge with Thee from The ups and downs of day-to-day life, Except those events which follow the safe and true track, On account of Thy mercy, O the Most Merciful. Sent blessings on Mohammad and on his pure descendents.
Allah is sufficient for me, He is the Best Protector, The Best Master, The Best Supporter. In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. “By the brightness of the day, and the night when it is quietest: Your Lord has not forsaken You, nor He is angry with you. Verily that which is to come Will be better for you than That which is past. Soon your Lord will give unto You so that you will be content. Did He not find you an Orphan and take care? Did He not find you wandering And show the (Right) Direction? Did He not find you a destitute And make independent? So oppress not an orphan: Turn not away the needy, But call out the favours and Bounties of your Lord. O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and on the Progeny of Muhammad.

Re: IMPORTANT: Wartime Prayers

i strongly suggest you move it back as few people come here, and this is geared primarily towards those interested in Pakistan affairs or military affairs.

This is more relevant to that forum.

This forum has wider audience, also there is a 'redirect' left in the Pakistan Affairs forum, hope that helps.
