Tongues fall silent in describing the deepness of His attributes...

Tongues fall silent in describing the deepness of His attributes, intellects fail in knowing Him thoroughly, tyrants fall low before His majesty, faces are humbled in fear of Him, and everything mighty is overwhelmed of His might! Thus praise be to You, again and again, and continuously! And His blessings be upon His Messenger endlessly and everlastingly! O' God, make the beginning of this day of mine righteousness, its middle prosperity, and its end success!

And I seek refuge in You from a day whose beginning is fright, whose middle is anxiety, and whose end is pain! O' God, I ask forgiveness for every promise I have promised, then failed to keep.

I ask You concerning Your servants: If there is any servant from among Your servants or any handmaid from among Your handmaids, who has against me a complaint because I have wronged him in respect to himself, his reputation, his property, his family, evil words I have spoken about him in his absence, an imposition upon him through inclination, caprice, scorn, zeal, false show, bigotry, whether he be absent or present, alive or dead, such that my hand has fallen short in order to find him and ask him for forgiveness, or my capacity has been too narrow to compensate for him, I ask You, O' He who owns all objects of need which are granted by His will and hasten to His desire that bless Mohammad and his Household, and have mercy on me by satisfying (the one I might have wronged) from me in the manner that You will.

Because forgiveness decreases You nothing, and grant hurts You nothing, O' Most Merciful of the merciful! O' God, give me on every Monday (ITHNAIN) two favors from You: the opportunity to obey You from its beginning, and the favor of Your forgiveness by its end. O' He who is the God, and none but him can forgive the sins!

The above piece of supplication was excerpted from a book named "The Psalms of Islam" (al-Sahifat al-Sajjadiyya) by Imam Ali Ibn Husain (al-Sajjad, Zayn al-Abidin), the 4th Imam/successor and grandson of Prophet (PBUH&HF). The Psalms of Islam, Arabic-English, Translated by: William C. Chittick, Published by: The Muhammadi Trust of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Tuesdays' Supplication In the name of God, the all merciful, the compassionate.

Praise belongs to God, and praise is His right, for He deserves abundant praise! I seek refuge in Him from the evil of my soul (nafs), "for surely the soul commands to evil unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy (to protect my soul)" (12:53).
