IMAM ALI (AS)'S DUAA-E-KUMAYL - 1
Kumayl Ibne Ziyad was one of the
companions of Commander of the
faithful Imam Ali (AS). The Imam
had taught him this Duaa also
known as“Duaa-e-Khizr”
Imam Ali (AS) said “ O Kumayl,
try to read this duaa every
Thursday night or at least once
a month or once in every year or
once in life time. Benefits
include increase in sustenance
and forgiveness of big and small
sins and Allah will accept duaas
for both worlds.”
O Allah, I beseech Thee by Thy
mercy which encompasses all
things
And by Thy power by which Thou
overcometh all things and submit
to it all things and humble
before it all things
And by Thy might by which thou
hast conquered all things
And by Thy majesty against which
nothing can stand
And by Thy grandeur which
prevails upon all things
And by Thy authority which is
exercised over all things
And by Thy own self that will
endure for ever after all things
have vanished
And by Thy Names which manifest
Thy power over all things
And by Thy knowledge which
pervades all things
And by the light of Thy
countenance which illuminates
every thing
O Thou who art the light; O Thou
who art the most holy; O Thou
who existed before the foremost;
O Thou who shall exist after the
last
O Allah, Forgive me my such sins
as would affront my defense
O Allah, Forgive me my such sins
as would bring down calamity
O Allah, Forgive me my such sins
as would change Divine favors
O Allah, Forgive me my such sins
as would hinder my supplications
O Allah, Forgive me my such sins
as bring down misfortunes
O Allah, Forgive me my such sins
as would suppress hope
O Allah, Forgive every sin I
have committed and every error
that I have erred
O Allah, I Endeavour to draw
myself nigh to Thee through Thy
invocations
And I pray to Thee to intercede
on my behalf
And I entreat Thee by Thy
Benevolence to draw me nearer to
Thee
And grant me that I should be
grateful to Thee and inspire me
to remember and to invoke Thee
O Allah, I entreat Thee begging
Thee submissively, humbly and
awe strikingly
To treat me with clemency and
mercy and to make me pleased
with what Thou hast allotted to
me
And cause me to be modest and
unassuming in all circumstances
O Allah, I beg Thee as one who
is passing through extreme
privation and who supplicates
his needs to Thee and his hope
has been greatly raised by that
which is Thee
O Allah, great is Thy kingdom
and exalted is Thy greatness
Thy plan is secret, Thy
authority is manifest, Thy might
is victorious and subduing and
Thy power is prevalent through
out and it is not possible to
escape from Thy dominion
O Allah, except Thee I do not
find anyone able to pardon my
sins nor to conceal my loathsome
acts
Nor have I any one except Thee
to change my evil deeds into
virtues
There is no God but Thou glory
and praise be to Thee I have
made my own soul to suffer I
have the audacity (to sin) by my
ignorance
Relying on my past remembrance
of Thee and Thy grace towards me
O Allah, my Lord, how many of my
loathsome acts you have screened
(from public gaze)
How many of my grievous
afflictions have Thou reduced in
severity
And how many of my stumbling
hast Thou protected, how many of
my detestable acts have Thou
averted and how many of my
undeserving praises hast Thou
spread abroad
O Allah my trials and sufferings
have increased and my evilness
has worsened, my good deeds have
diminished and my yokes (of
misdeeds) have become firm
And remote hopes restrain me to
profit (by good deeds) and the
world have deceived me with its
allurement and my own self has
been by treachery and
procrastination
Therefore, my Lord, impose Thee
by Thy greatness not to let my
sins and my misdeeds shut out
access to my prayers from
reaching Thy realm and not to
disgrace me by exposing those
(hidden ones) of which Thou hast
knowledge nor to hasten my
retribution for those vices and
misdeeds committed by me in
secret which were due to
evil-mindedness, ignorance,
excessive lustfulness, and my
negligence
O Allah I beg Thee by Thy
greatness to be compassionate to
me in all circumstances and well
disposed towards me in all
matters
My God, my Nourisher, has I any
one except Thee from whom I can
seek the dislodging of my evils
and understanding of my
problems?
My God, my Master Thou decreed a
law for me instead I followed my
own low desires
And I did not guard myself
against the allurements of my
enemy
He deceived me by vain hopes
whereby I was led astray and
fate helped him in that respect
Thus I transgressed some of its
limits set for me by Thee and I
disobeyed some of Thy
commandments; Thou hast
therefore a just cause against
me in all those matters and I
have no plea against Thy
judgment passed against me
I have therefore become
justifiably liable to Thy
judgment and afflictions
But now I have turned to Thee,
my Lord, after being guilty of
omissions and transgressions
against my soul, apologically,
repentantly, brokenheartedly,
entreating earnestly for
forgiveness, yieldingly
confessing to my guilt as I can
find no escape from that which
was done by me and have no
refuge to which I could turn
except seeking Thy acceptance of
my excuse and admitting me into
the realm of Thy capacious mercy
O Allah accepts my apology and
have pity on my intense
sufferings and set me free from
my heavy fetters of my evil
deeds |
