Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Day of Judgement 'Munajaat' (Secret Invocation) of Ali Bin Abi Talib (As) Now that we know what is to happen on the Day of Judgement, we should always seek the protection of Allah against the sorrows of that Day. Here is the translation of a famous Munajaat (Secret Invocation) of Hadhrat Ali (A), which will show us how to beseech our Lord for that protection:- O Allah!

I seek Thy safety on 'the Day when neither wealth nor sons will avail, but only he (will prosper) that brings to Allah a good (or submissive) heart; (26:88-89) [^1] And I beseech Thee for security on 'the Day when the wrong-doer will bite at his hands, he will say: Oh! Would that I had taken a (straight) path with the Messenger.'(25:27) *** *** And I beg from Thee the safety on 'the Day when the sinners will be known by their marks so they will be seized by (their) forelocks and feet.'(55:41).

*** *** And I implore Thee for the safety on 'the Day when no father can avail anything for his son, nor a son avail anything for his father; verily, the promise of Allah is true. '(31:33) *** *** And I seek from Thee the security on 'the Day when it will not profit the wrong-doers to present their excuses; and for them will be the curse and the home of misery.' (40:52).

*** *** And I ask from Thee safety on 'the Day when no soul shall have power (to do) anything for another; and the command that Day will belong to Allah.'(82:19.) *** *** And I implore Thee for security on 'the Day when a man shall flee from his brother, and from his mother and father, and from his wife and children; each one of them that Day will have enough concern (of his own) to make him indifferent (to others.)'(80:34-37).

*** *** And I ask from Thee the safety on 'the Day when the sinner's desire will be: would that he could redeem himself from the punishment of that Day by sacrificing his children, and his wife, and his brother, and his kindred who sheltered him, and (in short) all that is on earth - so that it could deliver him. By no means! For it would be the Fire, plucking out (his being) right to'the Skull.'(70; 11-16). *** *** My Master! O my Master!

Thou art the Master, and I am the slave; and does (any one) have merey upon the slave except (his) Master? My Master! O my Master! Thou art the Possessor, and I am the Possessed; and who does have Compassion on the possessed except the Possessor? My Master! O my Master!
