IMAM ALI (AS)'S DUAA-E-KUMAYL
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 |
