Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books A Shi'ite Encyclopedia (chapter 11) Sundays' Supplication In the name of God, from whom I hope for nothing but His bounty, and from whom I fear nothing but His justice! I rely only upon His words, and I cling only to His rope!

O' the pocessor of pardon and prosperity, In You I seek sanctuary, from oppression and enmity, from the changes of the time and recurrence of sorrows, from the striking events, and from the expiration of my term (life) before forgiveness and preparation. From You I seek guidance wherein is righteousness and sets me right. From You I seek help which is linked to success and favorable response.

To You I tend, for the garment of well-being and its completion, and for the covering of health and its continuity. To You I seek refuge, O' my Lord, from the stimulations of Satans, and I seek protection in Your government, from the injustice of governors. So accept my past prayers and fasting, and make my tomorrow and its after, better than my present hour and today! Exalt me in my clan and my people. Protect me in my waking and my sleeping.

For You are God, the best guardian, and the most merciful. O' God, I quit before You, on this day and the following Sundays (AHAAD), of associating anything with You (SHIRK) and of heresy (ILHAAD), and I sincerely devote my supplication to You seeking for response.

So bless Mohammad and his Household, the best of Your creatures and the summoners to Your truth, and exalt me with Your exaltation which never suffers from loss, protect me with Your sight which never falls asleep, and seal my affairs by cutting me off from everything but You, and my life with forgiveness! Surely You are the merciful and the compassionate.

He has no associate in divinity and no support in unity.
