    |'''بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ'''
    |'''In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.'''
    |اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَفْتَتِحُ الثَّنَاءَ بِحَمْدِكَ وَ أَنْتَ مُسَدِّدٌ لِلصَّوَابِ بِمَنِّكَ
    |O Allah, I begin the glorification with praise of Thee; Thou, from Thy bounties, gives out freely the truth and salvation;
    |وَ أَيْقَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْعَفْوِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ
    |I know for certain that Thou art the most merciful in disposition of forgiveness and mercy,
    |وَ أَشَدُّ الْمُعَاقِبِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ النَّكَالِ وَ النَّقِمَةِ وَ أَعْظَمُ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ.
    |[but] very exacting at the time of giving exemplary punishment and chastisement to wrongdoers, the Omnipotent in the domain of absolute power and might.
    |اللَّهُمَّ أَذِنْتَ لِي فِي دُعَائِكَ وَ مَسْأَلَتِكَ فَاسْمَعْ يَا سَمِيعُ مِدْحَتِي وَ أَجِبْ يَا رَحِيمُ دَعْوَتِي وَ أَقِلْ يَا غَفُورُ عَثْرَتِي
    |O Allah, Thou has given me permission to invoke Thee and beseech Thee, so listen, O Hearer, to my words of praise, and give a favourable reply to my supplication, and minimize my falling into misery, O the often-forgiving.
    | فَكَمْ يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ كُرْبَةٍ قَدْ فَرَّجْتَهَا وَ هُمُومٍ [غُمُومٍ] قَدْ كَشَفْتَهَا وَ عَثْرَةٍ قَدْ أَقَلْتَهَا وَ رَحْمَةٍ قَدْ نَشَرْتَهَا وَ حَلْقَةِ بَلاءٍ قَدْ فَكَكْتَهَا
    |O Allah, many a trouble Thou hath removed; many a sorrow hath Thou dispelled; many a misery hath Thou mitigated; and at all times Thou spreadeth out mercy, and cutteth short the tightening circles of misfortunes.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لا وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
    |All praise be to Allah, Who has not taken unto Himself a wife, nor a son, and Who has no partner in sovereignty, nor any protecting friend through dependence. Magnify Him with all magnificence.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بِجَمِيعِ مَحَامِدِهِ كُلِّهَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ نِعَمِهِ كُلِّهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لا مُضَادَّ لَهُ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَ لا مُنَازِعَ لَهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ
    |All praise be to Allah, with full gratitude for all his bounties. All praise be to Allah, Who has no opposition to His rule, nor any challenge to His commands.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ فِي خَلْقِهِ وَ لا شَبِيهَ [شِبْهَ] لَهُ فِي عَظَمَتِهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْفَاشِي فِي الْخَلْقِ أَمْرُهُ وَ حَمْدُهُ الظَّاهِرِ بِالْكَرَمِ مَجْدُهُ الْبَاسِطِ بِالْجُودِ يَدَهُ
    |All praise be to Allah, Who has no counsel to meddle with His operation of creation, nor is there anything similar to Him in His greatness. All praise be to Allah, Whose commandments operate in Creation; His glory is evident through love and kindness. His distinct overflowing generosity is freely available through His unlimited bestowals
    |الَّذِي لا تَنْقُصُ خَزَائِنُهُ وَ لا تَزِيدُهُ [يَزِيدُهُ] كَثْرَةُ الْعَطَاءِ إِلا جُودا وَ كَرَما إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْوَهَّابُ
    |which do not exhaust His resources, and He does not swell the numerous benefits except because of generosity and kindness. Verily He is mighty, generous.
    |اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ قَلِيلا مِنْ كَثِيرٍ مَعَ حَاجَةٍ بِي إِلَيْهِ عَظِيمَةٍ وَ غِنَاكَ عَنْهُ قَدِيمٌ وَ هُوَ عِنْدِي كَثِيرٌ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْكَ سَهْلٌ يَسِيرٌ
    |O Allah, I ask for some from much, in the midst of my very many needs for which I entirely depend on Thee, and, since eternity, Thou art able to do without it but for me it is a titanic effort and for Thee is very easy and simple.
    |اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ عَفْوَكَ عَنْ ذَنْبِي وَ تَجَاوُزَكَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَ صَفْحَكَ عَنْ ظُلْمِي وَ سَتْرَكَ عَلَى [عَنْ] قَبِيحِ عَمَلِي وَ حِلْمَكَ عَنْ كَثِيرِ [كَبِيرِ] جُرْمِي عِنْدَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ خَطَايَ [خَطَئِي] وَ عَمْدِي|O Allah, truly, when Thou pardon my sins, overlook my mistakes, take a lenient view of my disorderly conduct, cover up my foul actions, show consideration despite my many transgressions committed willfully or negligently,
    |أَطْمَعَنِي فِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لا أَسْتَوْجِبُهُ مِنْكَ الَّذِي رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَرَيْتَنِي مِنْ قُدْرَتِكَ وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ فَصِرْتُ أَدْعُوكَ آمِنا
    |I am tempted to ask for that which I do not deserve, from Thee Who, through Thy mercy, gives me the daily bread provides me with that which is suitable for me, through Thy control; and distinguishes me with a favourable reply to my requests. So I persist in calling out, believing in Thee,
    |وَ أَسْأَلُكَ مُسْتَأْنِساً لا خَائِفاً وَ لا وَجِلاً مُدِلَّاً عَلَيْكَ فِيمَا قَصَدْتُ فِيهِ [بِهِ] إِلَيْكَ فَإِنْ أَبْطَأَ عَنِّي [عَلَيَ] عَتَبْتُ بِجَهْلِي عَلَيْكَ
    |and I invoke Thee, talking familiarly, not afraid, nor shy, but assured of Thy love and kindness whenever I turn to Thee. A temporary setback, and I, out of ignorance, begin to despair,
    |وَ لَعَلَّ الَّذِي أَبْطَأَ عَنِّي هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي لِعِلْمِكَ بِعَاقِبَةِ الْأُمُورِ
    |although perhaps slowing down may be a blessing in disguise. because Thou alone knows [all] the consequences.
    |فَلَمْ أَرَ مَوْلًى [مُؤَمَّلا] كَرِيما أَصْبَرَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ لَئِيمٍ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّكَ تَدْعُونِي فَأُوَلِّي عَنْكَ وَ تَتَحَبَّبُ إِلَيَّ فَأَتَبَغَّضُ إِلَيْكَ وَ تَتَوَدَّدُ إِلَيَّ فَلا أَقْبَلُ مِنْكَ كَأَنَّ لِيَ التَّطَوُّلَ عَلَيْكَ،
    |I know no generous master who is more accommodating to dissatisfied servants that Thou art to me. O Lord, Thou giveth an invitation but I turn it down. Thou becometh familiar with me but I do not care for Thee. Thou loveth me but I do not correspond to Thee as if Thou are overreaching me.
    | فَلَمْ [ثُمَّ لَمْ] يَمْنَعْكَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِي وَ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيَّ وَ التَّفَضُّلِ عَلَيَّ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ فَارْحَمْ عَبْدَكَ الْجَاهِلَ وَ جُدْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ إِحْسَانِكَ إِنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ
    |Yet Thou doth not abstain from bestowing favours and blessings on me from Thy mercy and generosity so have mercy on Thy ignorant servant Verily Thou art generous and kind.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مَالِكِ الْمُلْكِ مُجْرِي الْفُلْكِ مُسَخِّرِ الرِّيَاحِ فَالِقِ الْإِصْبَاحِ دَيَّانِ الدِّينِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
    |Praise be To Allah the owner of sovereignty, Who sets the course of the skies and the stars controls the winds, causes the daybreak, and administers authority, the Lord of the worlds.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى حِلْمِهِ بَعْدَ عِلْمِهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى عَفْوِهِ بَعْدَ قُدْرَتِهِ
    |Praise be to Allah for His indulgence in the wake of His all-awareness. Praise be to Allah for His amnesty ensuing from His omnipotence.
    |وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى طُولِ أَنَاتِهِ فِي غَضَبِهِ وَ هُوَ قَادِرٌ [الْقَادِرُ] عَلَى مَا يُرِيدُ
    |Praise be to Allah for the respite He allows despite provocation. He can do what He wills.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ خَالِقِ الْخَلْقِ بَاسِطِ الرِّزْقِ فَالِقِ الْإِصْبَاحِ ذِي الْجَلالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ الْفَضْلِ [وَ التَّفَضُّلِ] وَ الْإِنْعَامِ [الْإِحْسَانِ] الَّذِي بَعُدَ فَلا يُرَى وَ قَرُبَ فَشَهِدَ النَّجْوَى تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى
    |Praise be to Allah, the creator of all the created beings, Who makes sustenance freely available, starts the day, the owner of glory, might, favors, and bounties, Who is far away, invisible, and nearest, so near that He is fully aware of the whispered secrets, the Blessed, the Praised.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ مُنَازِعٌ يُعَادِلُهُ وَ لا شَبِيهٌ يُشَاكِلُهُ وَ لا ظَهِيرٌ يُعَاضِدُهُ قَهَرَ بِعِزَّتِهِ الْأَعِزَّاءَ وَ تَوَاضَعَ لِعَظَمَتِهِ الْعُظَمَاءُ فَبَلَغَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ
    |Praise be to Allah, Who has no equal to challenge Him, nor is there an image comparable to Him, nor a helper to assist Him. He tames the powerful by His force, and disgraced are the terrible before His greatness; so He, through His power, fulfills that which He wills.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُجِيبُنِي حِينَ أُنَادِيهِ وَ يَسْتُرُ عَلَيَّ كُلَّ عَوْرَةٍ وَ أَنَا أَعْصِيهِ وَ يُعَظِّمُ النِّعْمَةَ عَلَيَّ فَلا أُجَازِيهِ
    |Praise be to Allah, Who answers me whenever I call Him; covers up my shortcomings yet I disobey Him; gives me the largest part of the bounties yet I want more.
    |فَكَمْ مِنْ مَوْهِبَةٍ هَنِيئَةٍ قَدْ أَعْطَانِي وَ عَظِيمَةٍ مَخُوفَةٍ قَدْ كَفَانِي وَ بَهْجَةٍ مُونِقَةٍ قَدْ أَرَانِي فَأُثْنِي عَلَيْهِ حَامِدا وَ أَذْكُرُهُ مُسَبِّحاً
    |Many favours He has sanctioned; many terrible dangers He has averted; and many blossoming joys he has made available for me. Therefore, I sing His praises and recite His glorifications.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لا يُهْتَكُ حِجَابُهُ وَ لا يُغْلَقُ بَابُهُ وَ لا يُرَدُّ سَائِلُهُ وَ لا يُخَيَّبُ [يَخِيبُ] آمِلُهُ
    |Praise be to Allah. None can disclose anything hidden by Him; none can shut the doors kept open by Him; no one who makes a request is sent away disappointed by Him;
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ الْخَائِفِينَ وَ يُنَجِّي [يُنْجِي] الصَّالِحِينَ [الصَّادِقِينَ] وَ يَرْفَعُ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ وَ يَضَعُ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ وَ يُهْلِكُ مُلُوكا وَ يَسْتَخْلِفُ آخَرِينَ
    |and no one who looks long and attentively is deluded in his hopes. Praise be to Allah, Who gives protection to the frightened; comes to the help of the upright; promotes the cause of the weak and the enslaved; annihilates the autocrats; destroys rulers and appoints the 'awaited savours' in their place.
    |وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ قَاصِمِ الْجَبَّارِينَ مُبِيرِ الظَّالِمِينَ مُدْرِكِ الْهَارِبِينَ نَكَالِ الظَّالِمِينَ صَرِيخِ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِينَ مَوْضِعِ حَاجَاتِ الطَّالِبِينَ مُعْتَمَدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
    |Praise be to Allah, Who breaks everything belonging to the oppressors; puts an end to the tyrants; watches over the fugitives; brings assistance to those who cry out for help; meets and clears up the demands of the needy beseechers; supports the faithful.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مِنْ خَشْيَتِهِ تَرْعَدُ السَّمَاءُ وَ سُكَّانُهَا وَ تَرْجُفُ الْأَرْضُ وَ عُمَّارُهَا وَ تَمُوجُ الْبِحَارُ وَ مَنْ يَسْبَحُ فِي غَمَرَاتِهَا
    |Praise be to Allah. In his awe-inspiring fear the heavens and its dwellers tremble and shiver; the earth and its inhabitants shake and quiver; the oceans and all that floats and swims in its waters flow together in excitement and tumult.
    |الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا لِهَذَا وَ مَا كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لا أَنْ هَدَانَا اللَّهُ
    |Praise be to Allah, Who has guided us to this. We could not truly have been led aright if Allah had not guided us.
    | الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يَخْلُقُ وَ لَمْ يُخْلَقْ وَ يَرْزُقُ وَ لا يُرْزَقُ وَ يُطْعِمُ وَ لا يُطْعَمُ وَ يُمِيتُ الْأَحْيَاءَ وَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ ءٍ قَدِيرٌ
    |Praise be to Allah, Who creates but is not created; gives subsistence but needs no provisions; gives food to eat but takes no nourishment; makes the living dead and brings the dead to life; and He is the everliving, there is no death for Him; in His hands is all the good. And He is able to do all things.

    O Allah, You have permitted me to call upon You and ask of You, so listen, O All-Hearing, to my praise, and respond, O Most Merciful, to my call, and forgive, O Most Forgiving, my missteps. For how many times, O my Lord, have You relieved my distress, removed my worries, forgiven my missteps, spread Your mercy, and broken the chains of calamity?

    All praise is due to Allah, who has not taken a spouse nor a child, "and there is no partner for Him in His dominion, nor is there any protector for Him out of weakness. And magnify Him with due magnification." All praise is due to Allah with all His praises, for all His blessings. All praise is due to Allah, who has no adversary in His dominion, nor any contender in His command. All praise is due to Allah, who has no partner in His creation, nor any equal in His greatness.

    All praise is due to Allah, whose command and praise are widespread among creation, and whose glory is manifest through generosity, and whose hand is outstretched with bounty. He whose treasures are not diminished, and whose abundance of giving only increases Him in generosity and kindness. Indeed, He is the All-Mighty, the Bestower. 
     
    O Allah, I ask of You a little from much, despite my great need for it, while You are eternally free from need of it, and it is much to me, but it is easy and simple for You. 
     
    O Allah, Your forgiveness of my sins, Your overlooking of my errors, Your pardon of my injustices, Your covering of my ugly deeds, and Your forbearance of my many crimes, despite my mistakes and intentional sins, have made me hopeful to ask of You what I do not deserve from You, that which You have provided me from Your mercy, and shown me from Your power, and made known to me from Your responsiveness. Thus, I call upon You with assurance, and I ask of You with familiarity, without fear or dread, relying on You in what I have sought from You. If my request is delayed, I blame You out of ignorance, though perhaps what is delayed is better for me, for You know the outcomes of all matters. I have not seen a generous master more patient with a vile servant than You are with me, O Lord. Indeed, You call me, and I turn away from You, and You show affection to me, and I show hostility to You, and You extend kindness to me, and I do not accept from You, as if I have a right over You! Yet, none of this prevents You from showing me mercy, kindness, and favor through Your generosity and magnanimity. So, have mercy on Your ignorant servant, and bestow upon him the abundance of Your kindness, for You are the Most Generous, the Most Kind.

He has subdued the mighty with His might, and the great have humbled themselves before His greatness. Thus, He achieves with His power what He wills. 
     
    All praise is due to Allah, who answers me when I call upon Him, covers every flaw of mine while I disobey Him, magnifies His blessings upon me while I do not thank Him. How many pleasant gifts He has given me, and how many great fears He has protected me from, and how many delightful joys He has shown me. Thus, I praise Him with gratitude, and I remember Him with glorification. All praise is due to Allah, whose veil is not torn, whose door is not closed, whose beggar is not turned away, and whose hopeful is not disappointed. 
     
    All praise is due to Allah, who reassures the fearful, saves the righteous, raises the oppressed, humbles the arrogant, destroys kings and replaces them with others. All praise is due to Allah, the Breaker of the tyrants, the Destroyer of the oppressors, the Catcher of the fugitives, the Punisher of the wrongdoers, the Responder to the call of the distressed, the Fulfiller of the needs of the seekers, the Reliance of the believers.

O Allah, manifest through him Your religion and the tradition of Your Prophet, so that nothing of the truth remains hidden out of fear of any of the creation. O Allah, we eagerly seek from You a noble state through which You honor Islam and its people, and humiliate hypocrisy and its people, and make us among those who call to Your obedience and lead to Your path, and grant us through it the dignity of this world and the hereafter. O Allah, what You have made known to us of the truth, enable us to bear it, and what we have fallen short of, grant us attainment of it.

Through him, heal our chests, remove the anger from our hearts, and guide us to the truth in what is disputed, by Your permission. Indeed, You guide whom You will to a straight path. And through him, grant us victory over Your enemies and our enemies, O God of truth, Amen. 
     
    O Allah, we complain to You of the absence of our Prophet, Your blessings be upon him and his family, the occultation of our guardian, the multitude of our enemies, the smallness of our numbers, the severity of the trials upon us, and the oppression of time against us. So, send blessings upon Muhammad and his family, and help us in this with a victory from You that You hasten, a relief that You grant, a support that You honor, a just authority that You manifest, a mercy from You that envelops us, and a well-being from You that clothes us, by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.<ref>Qumi, Shaykh Abbas, *Complete Mafatih al-Jinan*, Asoudeh, n.d., n.p., pp. 179–182.</ref>

    Question

    Who is the author of **Dua al-Iftitah**, and what is its content?

    File:Dua al-Iftitah.jpg
    Dua al-Iftitah with translation by Seyyed Mahdi Shojaee
      • Dua al-Iftitah** is a supplication with a reliable chain of narration from **Imam Mahdi (AS)**, who recommended that Shia Muslims recite it every night during the month of **Ramadan**. This supplication has been narrated by **Muhammad ibn Uthman**, the second deputy of Imam Mahdi (AS) during the **Minor Occultation**, and is found in important sources, including **Tahdhib al-Ahkam**, one of the **Four Books of Shia Hadith**.

    At the beginning of this supplication, it is advised to start praising Allah with gratitude and acknowledgment of His blessings. Towards the end, it enumerates various difficulties and seeks Allah's help in resolving them, emphasizing hope in Allah in all circumstances.

    Dua al-Iftitah is said to have two main themes: the remembrance and reinforcement of Islamic beliefs. The primary themes of this supplication include the recognition of Allah, praise and glorification of Him, enumerating His attributes—especially His mercy, forgiveness, and generosity—and acknowledging His blessings.

    Chain of Narration

    Most Shia scholars and prominent figures have accepted the attribution of this supplication to Imam Mahdi (AS) and have spoken in its favor, though some doubts have been raised.[1]

    Dua al-Iftitah was narrated from Imam Mahdi (AS) by **Muhammad ibn Uthman**, the second deputy during the **Minor Occultation**. The first to narrate this supplication was **Shaykh Tusi** (d. 460 AH) in two of his books, including **Tahdhib al-Ahkam**[2], one of the **Four Books of Shia Hadith**, and **Misbah al-Mutahajjid**.[3][4]

    After Shaykh Tusi, **Sayyid ibn Tawus**, a Shia scholar of the 7th century AH, narrated Dua al-Iftitah with a chain of narration from **Muhammad ibn Uthman**, the second deputy of Imam Mahdi (AS). This supplication is among the supplications recorded in a book that **Muhammad ibn Uthman** gave to his nephew.[5] Sayyid ibn Tawus narrated this supplication from **Ibn Abi Qurrah**[6], whose book is no longer available, but Shia jurists have frequently cited it in their works.[7]

    Dua al-Iftitah has also been narrated by **Al-Kaf'ami** in **Al-Misbah**[8] and **Al-Balad al-Amin**[9], **Allama Majlisi** in **Zad al-Ma'ad**[10], and **Shaykh Abbas Qumi** in **Mafatih al-Jinan**.[11]

    Time of Recitation

    Shaykh Tusi, in both **Tahdhib**[12] and **Misbah al-Mutahajjid**[13], stated that this supplication should be recited every night of the month of Ramadan. Sayyid ibn Tawus also recommended reciting this supplication during the nights of the blessed month of Ramadan.[14]

    Imam Mahdi (AS) wrote to the Shia that they should recite Dua al-Iftitah every night of the month of Ramadan. The angels listen to the supplication and seek forgiveness for the one who recites it.[15]

    Content and Virtues

    Dua al-Iftitah is said to have two main themes: the remembrance and reinforcement of Islamic beliefs.[16] In explaining this supplication, it is said that from the beginning, we learn to start praising Allah with gratitude and acknowledgment of His blessings.[17] Towards the end, it enumerates various difficulties and seeks Allah's help in resolving them, emphasizing hope in Allah in all circumstances.[18]

      • Misbah Yazdi**, a Shia scholar, described Dua al-Iftitah as "one of the most appropriate and profound supplications," containing lofty themes. He believed that the content of this supplication teaches the supplicant the etiquettes to observe and the matters to focus on during supplication.[19]

    Text of the Supplication

    texttranslation
    بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
    اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَفْتَتِحُ الثَّنَاءَ بِحَمْدِكَ وَ أَنْتَ مُسَدِّدٌ لِلصَّوَابِ بِمَنِّكَ O Allah, I begin the glorification with praise of Thee; Thou, from Thy bounties, gives out freely the truth and salvation;
    وَ أَيْقَنْتُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْعَفْوِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ I know for certain that Thou art the most merciful in disposition of forgiveness and mercy,
    وَ أَشَدُّ الْمُعَاقِبِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ النَّكَالِ وَ النَّقِمَةِ وَ أَعْظَمُ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ فِي مَوْضِعِ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ. [but] very exacting at the time of giving exemplary punishment and chastisement to wrongdoers, the Omnipotent in the domain of absolute power and might.
    اللَّهُمَّ أَذِنْتَ لِي فِي دُعَائِكَ وَ مَسْأَلَتِكَ فَاسْمَعْ يَا سَمِيعُ مِدْحَتِي وَ أَجِبْ يَا رَحِيمُ دَعْوَتِي وَ أَقِلْ يَا غَفُورُ عَثْرَتِي O Allah, Thou has given me permission to invoke Thee and beseech Thee, so listen, O Hearer, to my words of praise, and give a favourable reply to my supplication, and minimize my falling into misery, O the often-forgiving.
    فَكَمْ يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ كُرْبَةٍ قَدْ فَرَّجْتَهَا وَ هُمُومٍ [غُمُومٍ] قَدْ كَشَفْتَهَا وَ عَثْرَةٍ قَدْ أَقَلْتَهَا وَ رَحْمَةٍ قَدْ نَشَرْتَهَا وَ حَلْقَةِ بَلاءٍ قَدْ فَكَكْتَهَا O Allah, many a trouble Thou hath removed; many a sorrow hath Thou dispelled; many a misery hath Thou mitigated; and at all times Thou spreadeth out mercy, and cutteth short the tightening circles of misfortunes.
    الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لا وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً All praise be to Allah, Who has not taken unto Himself a wife, nor a son, and Who has no partner in sovereignty, nor any protecting friend through dependence. Magnify Him with all magnificence.
    الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بِجَمِيعِ مَحَامِدِهِ كُلِّهَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ نِعَمِهِ كُلِّهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لا مُضَادَّ لَهُ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَ لا مُنَازِعَ لَهُ فِي أَمْرِهِ All praise be to Allah, with full gratitude for all his bounties. All praise be to Allah, Who has no opposition to His rule, nor any challenge to His commands.
    الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ فِي خَلْقِهِ وَ لا شَبِيهَ [شِبْهَ] لَهُ فِي عَظَمَتِهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْفَاشِي فِي الْخَلْقِ أَمْرُهُ وَ حَمْدُهُ الظَّاهِرِ بِالْكَرَمِ مَجْدُهُ الْبَاسِطِ بِالْجُودِ يَدَهُ All praise be to Allah, Who has no counsel to meddle with His operation of creation, nor is there anything similar to Him in His greatness. All praise be to Allah, Whose commandments operate in Creation; His glory is evident through love and kindness. His distinct overflowing generosity is freely available through His unlimited bestowals
    الَّذِي لا تَنْقُصُ خَزَائِنُهُ وَ لا تَزِيدُهُ [يَزِيدُهُ] كَثْرَةُ الْعَطَاءِ إِلا جُودا وَ كَرَما إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْوَهَّابُ which do not exhaust His resources, and He does not swell the numerous benefits except because of generosity and kindness. Verily He is mighty, generous.
    اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ قَلِيلا مِنْ كَثِيرٍ مَعَ حَاجَةٍ بِي إِلَيْهِ عَظِيمَةٍ وَ غِنَاكَ عَنْهُ قَدِيمٌ وَ هُوَ عِنْدِي كَثِيرٌ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْكَ سَهْلٌ يَسِيرٌ O Allah, I ask for some from much, in the midst of my very many needs for which I entirely depend on Thee, and, since eternity, Thou art able to do without it but for me it is a titanic effort and for Thee is very easy and simple.
    اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ عَفْوَكَ عَنْ ذَنْبِي وَ تَجَاوُزَكَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَ صَفْحَكَ عَنْ ظُلْمِي وَ سَتْرَكَ عَلَى [عَنْ] قَبِيحِ عَمَلِي وَ حِلْمَكَ عَنْ كَثِيرِ [كَبِيرِ] جُرْمِي عِنْدَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ خَطَايَ [خَطَئِي] وَ عَمْدِي O Allah, truly, when Thou pardon my sins, overlook my mistakes, take a lenient view of my disorderly conduct, cover up my foul actions, show consideration despite my many transgressions committed willfully or negligently,
    أَطْمَعَنِي فِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لا أَسْتَوْجِبُهُ مِنْكَ الَّذِي رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَرَيْتَنِي مِنْ قُدْرَتِكَ وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ فَصِرْتُ أَدْعُوكَ آمِنا I am tempted to ask for that which I do not deserve, from Thee Who, through Thy mercy, gives me the daily bread provides me with that which is suitable for me, through Thy control; and distinguishes me with a favourable reply to my requests. So I persist in calling out, believing in Thee,
    وَ أَسْأَلُكَ مُسْتَأْنِساً لا خَائِفاً وَ لا وَجِلاً مُدِلَّاً عَلَيْكَ فِيمَا قَصَدْتُ فِيهِ [بِهِ] إِلَيْكَ فَإِنْ أَبْطَأَ عَنِّي [عَلَيَ] عَتَبْتُ بِجَهْلِي عَلَيْكَ and I invoke Thee, talking familiarly, not afraid, nor shy, but assured of Thy love and kindness whenever I turn to Thee. A temporary setback, and I, out of ignorance, begin to despair,
    وَ لَعَلَّ الَّذِي أَبْطَأَ عَنِّي هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي لِعِلْمِكَ بِعَاقِبَةِ الْأُمُورِ although perhaps slowing down may be a blessing in disguise. because Thou alone knows [all] the consequences.
