O Allah -azwj ...

O Allah -azwj , You -azwj are my Hope, and You -azwj are my Trust, my Support, my Succour, my Exalter, my Beauty. You -azwj are the Refuge of those who are afraid. There is no sanctuary for those who flee except in You -azwj . There is no one on whom human beings can rely except You -azwj . There is no wish for those who desire except before You -azwj . There is no helper for the oppressed but You -azwj . There is no object for the needy except You -azwj .

There is nothing to be given for the seekers except from You -azwj . There is no place to turn for the repentant except You -azwj . Sustenance and good and deliverance are only in Your -azwj Hand. Oppressive matters have grieved me, difficult straits have wearied me, and painful ailments have encompassed me. I do not find the opening of the door of deliverance open except by Your -azwj Hand. Thus, I stand before You -azwj and seek help from You -azwj , with prayer, against its closing.

Open, O Lord -azwj , to the one who asks for help, and answer the one who calls out. Dispel the grief, remove the harm, fulfil the need, remove the sorrow, banish the anxieties, and save me from destruction, for I am on the brink of it. I do not find my salvation from it other than in You -azwj . O Allah -azwj , O He -azwj who answers the constrained, when one calls unto Him -azwj , and Removes the evil (27:62), have mercy on me and remove what is in me of sorrow and grief and pain and illness.

Lord -azwj , if You -azwj do not, I do not expect my deliverance from other than You -azwj . Have mercy on me, O Most Merciful of the Merciful. This is the position of the wretched, the poor. This is the position of one who is afraid, one seeking refuge. This is the position of one calling for help. This is the position of the sorrowful, the hurt. This is the position of the troubled, the one seeking protection.

This is the position of the servant, apprehensive, dying, drowning, frightened, fearful. This is the position of one who has awakened from his sleep, been aroused from his forgetfulness, recovered from his illness and the severity of his pain, and is afraid because of his offences. He acknowledges his sins, is humble before his Lord, and weeps in fear of Him -azwj . He asks forgiveness, sheds tears, and seeks pardon by Allah -azwj , from his Lord.

He dreads His -azwj Power, sheds his tears, and hopes, weeps, and prays and calls: Lord, affliction has visited me (21:83) so set me right. You -azwj see my position.
