The Supplication For Monday
Duaa
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
bismi allahi alrrahmani alrraheemi
In the Name of ALLAH, the All-merciful, the All-compassionate
أَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي
أَطْعَمَنَا وَسَقَانَا وَكَفَانَا وَآوَانَا فَكَمْ مِمَّن
Praise belongs to ALLAH,
لَمْ يُشْهِدْ أَحَدَاً حِينَ فَطَرَ السَّمواتِ وَالاَرْضَ،
lam yushhid ʾaḥadan ḥīna faṭara as-samāwāti wal-ʾarḍa
who allowed none to witness when He created the heavens and the earth,
وَلاَ اتَّخَذَ مُعِيناً حِينَ بَرَأَ النَّسَماتِ.
wa lā ittakhadha muʿīnan hīna bara'a an-nasamāt
and who took no helper when He authored the spirits!
لَمْ يُشارَكْ فِي الالهِيَّةِ،
lam yushārik fil ilāhiyyah
He has no associate in Divinity
وَلَمْ يُظَاهَرْ فِي الْوَحْدانِيَّةِ.
wa lam yuzāhir fil-waḥdaniyyah
and no support in Unity.
كَلَّتِ الاَلْسُنُ عَنْ غايَةِ صِفَتِهِ،
kallatil al-sunu ʿan ghayati sifatihi
Tongues fall silent before the limit of describing Him,
وَ [انْحَسَرَتِخ ل ]الْعُقُولُ عَنْ كُنْهِ مَعْرِفَتِهِ،
wa [anĥasarati-]l-ʿuqul ʿan kunhi maʿrifatihi
intellects fail before the core of knowing Him,
وَتَوَاضَعَتِ الْجَبابِرَةُ لِهَيْبَتِهِ،
wa tawaḍaʿatil-jabābiratu lihaybatih
tyrants fall low in awe of Him,
وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِخَشْيَتِهِ،
wa-'anati al-wujuhu li-khashyatih
faces are humbled in fear of Him,
وَانْقَادَ كُلُّ عَظِيم لِعَظَمَتِهِ.
wa inqāda kullu ʿaẓīm li ʿaẓamatihi
and everything mighty yields to His mightiness!
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مُتَوَاتِراً مُتَّسِقاً، وَمُتَوَالِياً مُسْتَوْسِقَاً.
falaka alhamdu mutawatirun muttasiquan wa mutawalliyan mustawsiqa
So to Thee belongs praise, again and again, well-measured, continually, methodically!
وَصَلَواتُهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ أَبَدَاً،
wa ṣalātu-hu ʿalā rasūli-hi abadan
and may His blessings be upon His Messenger endlessly,
وَسَلامُهُ دَآئِماً سَرْمَدَاً.
wa salāmuhu dāʾiman sarmadān
and His salutation everlastingly, eternally!
أَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ
allāhumma ijʿal
O ALLAH, make
أَوَّلَ يَوْمِي هذَا صَلاحَاً،
'awwala yawmī hādhā ṣalāḥan
the beginning of this day of mine righteousness,
وَأَوْسَطَهُ فَلاحَاً،
wa awsatahu falahan
its middle prosperity,
وَآخِرَهُ نَجاحَاً،
wa ākhirahu najāhan
and its end success!.
وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ يَوْم
wa a'ūdhu bika min yawm
I seek refuge in Thee from a day
أَوَّلُهُ فَزَعُ،
awwaluhu fazaʿu
whose beginning is fright,
وَأَوْسَطُهُ جَزَعٌ،
waawsatuhu jazaʿun
whose middle is anxiety,
وَآخِرُهُ وَجَعٌ.
wa ākhiruhu wajaʿun
and whose end is pain!
أَللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ
allāhumma innī astaghfiruka
O ALLAH, I pray forgiveness from Thee for
لِكُلِّ نَذْر نَذَرْتُهُ،
li kulli nadhrin nadhartuhu
every vow I have vowed,
وَلِكُلِّ وَعْد وَعَدْتُهُ،
walikulli waʿdin waʿadtuhu
every promise I have promised,
وَلِكُلِّ عَهْد عاهَدْتُهُ،
wa li-kulli ʿahd ʿāhḍtuhu
and every pledge I have pledged
ثُمَّ لَمْ أَفِ لَكَ بِهِ.
thumma lam afilaka bihi
and then failed to keep for Thee
وَأَسْأَلُكَ فِي مَظالِمِ عِبادِكَ عِنْدِي،
wa as'aluka fi maẓalimi ʿibadika ʿindi
I ask Thee concerning the complaints of Thy servants against me:
فَأَيُّما عَبْد مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ، أَوْ أَمَة مِنْ إمآئِكَ، كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلِي مَظْلَمَةٌ
faa'ayyuma 'abdin min 'abeedika, aw 'ammatin min ima'ik, kaanat lahoo qibalee madhlamah
If there is a servant from among Thy servants or a handmaid from among Thy handmaids, who has against me a complaint
ظَلَمْتُها إيَّاهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ، أَوْ فِي عِرْضِهِ، أَوْ فِي مالِهِ، أَوْ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ،
ẓalamtuha iyyāhu fī nafsih, aw fī ʿirḍih, aw fī mālih, aw fī ahlih wa waladih
because I have wronged him in respect to himself, his reputation, his property, his wife or his child, or because
أَوْ غَيْبَةٌ اغْتَبْتَهُ بِها،
aw ghaybatun ightabtahu biha
evil words I have spoken about him in his absence,
أَوْ تَحامُلٌ عَلَيْهِ بِمَيْل أَوْ هَوَىً، أَوْ أَنَفَة، أَوْ حَمِيَّة، أَوْ رِيآء، أَوْ عَصَبِيَّة
ʾaw taḥāmulun ʿalayhi bimayl aw hawān, aw ʾanafah, aw ḥamiyyah, aw riyāʾ, aw
an imposition upon him through inclination, caprice, scorn, zeal, false show, bigotry,
غائِباً كانَ أَوْ شاهِداً،
ghā'iban kāna aw shāhidan
whether he be absent or present,
وَحَيّاً كانَ أَوْ مَيِّتاً،
waḥayyan kāna aw mayyitan
alive or dead,
فَقَصُرَتْ يَدِي، وَضاقَ وُسْعِي عَنْ رَدِّها إلَيْهِ، وَالتَّحَلُّلِ مِنْهُ.
faqaṣurat yadī, waḍāqa wusʿī ʿan raddiha ilayhi, waltaḥallul minhu
such that my hand has fallen short and my capacity has been too narrow to make restitution to him or to annul my obligation to him,
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ الْحاجاتِ، وَهِيَ مُسْتَجِيبَةٌ بِمَشِيَّتِهِ [لِمَشِيَّتِهِ خ ]، وَمُسْرِعَةٌ إلى إرادَتِهِ،
fa as'aluka ya man yamliku al-hajat wa hiya mustajibatun bimashiyyatihi [limashiyyatihi kh], wa musri'atun ila iradatihi
I ask Thee, O He who owns all objects of need—which are granted by His will and hasten to His desire—that
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد ،
an tuṣalliya ʿala muḥammad wa āli muḥammad
Thou blessest MUHAMMAD and the Household of MUHAMMAD,
وَأَنْ تُرْضِيَهُ عَنِّي بِما شِئْتَ،
wa'an turdiyahu anni bima shi'ta
makest [the one I have wronged] satisfied with me in the manner that Thou willest,
وَتَهَبَ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ رَحْمَةً،
wa tahaba li min ʿindika raḥmatan
givest me mercy from Thee!
إنَّهُ لا تَنْقُصُكَ الْمَغْفِرَةُ،
ʾinna-hu la tanquṣuka al-maghfirah
Forgiveness decreases Thee not
وَلا تَضُرُّكَ المَوْهِبَةُ
walā taḍurruka al-mawhibah
and giving injures Thee not,
يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
yā ar-ḥama ar-rāḥimīn
O Most Merciful of the merciful!
أَللَّهُمَّ أَوْلِنِي فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ اثْنَيْنِ نِعْمَتَيْنِ مِنْكَ ثِنْتَيْنِ:
allāhumma awlinī fī kulli yawmin ithnayni niʿmatayni minka thintayn
O ALLAH, give me on every Monday two favours from Thee:
سَعادَةً فِي أَوَّلِهِ بِطاعَتِكَ،
saʿādatan fī awwalih biṭāʿatika
the felicity to obey Thee at its beginning
وَنِعْمَةً فِي آخِرِهِ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ
wa niʿmatan fī ākhirihi bimaghfiratika
and the favour of Thy forgiveness at its end!
يامَنْ هُوَ الاِلهُ،
yā man huwa al-ilāh
O He who is ALLAH
وَلا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ سِواهُ.
wa lā yaghfiru al-ḏẖunūba siwāhu
and none other than whom grants forgiveness for sins!
