Saturday Du'a (prayer)

SATURDAY DU'A (prayer)

"Bismillah," which is the creed of those who seek protection and the motto of those who want refuge.

I betake me to the Exalted Lord for shelter from the oppression of tyrants, from the devices of the envious and from the treachery of the wicked; and praise Him above the praise of all those who praise.

O Lord, Thou art the One without associate and the king without being made a king.

Thy command is unopposed and Thy sovereignty undisputed.

I beg Thee to favor Muhammad Thy servant and Thy apostle, and to inspire me with such gratitude for Thy favors as would enable me to deserve the utmost extent of Thy approval; and with Thy loving-kindness help me to serve Thee and worship Thee regularly and deserve Thy reward.

And favor me by restraining me from acts of disobedience to Thee as long as Thou keepest me alive; and give me the grace to do that which would benefit me as long as Thou sparest me; enlighten my mind with Thy Book and remove from me the burden of sin because of my reading it; and favor me by keeping safe my faith and my life; and let not those that love me be frightened from me; and continue Thy goodness to me during the rest of my life as Thou hadst done during the past, O most Merciful!
