Du’aa Iftitah for Ramadhan

دُعاء الإفتتاح

Arabic from Mafateeh Al-Jinaan

Translation from Duas.org

Edited and categorized by Dr. Hashim

1.  To open the Du'aa by Praising God:

bullet

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي اَفْتَتِحُ الثَّناءَ بِحَمْدِكَ، وَاَنْتَ مُسَدِّدٌ لِلصَّوابِ بِمَّنِكَ،

bullet

وَاَيْقَنْتُ اَنَّكَ اَنْتَ اَرْحَمُ الرّاحِمينَ في مَوْضِعِ الْعَفْوِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ،

bullet

وَاَشَدُّ الْمُعاقِبينَ في مَوْضِعِ النَّكالِ وَالنَّقِمَةِ،

bullet

وَاَعْظَمُ الْمُتَجَبِّرِينَ في مَوْضِعِ الْكِبْرياءِ وَالْعَظَمَةِ،

O Allah, I glorify Thee by praising Thee; since through Your bounties You confer the truth and salvation;
bulletAnd I know for sure that You are most merciful while disposing leniency and forgiveness,
bulletYet, exacting when giving reprimand and punishment, 
bullet

And You are the Supreme in the domain of Power and Might.

 

2.  Beseeching God to invoke him:   go to top of page

bullet

اَللّـهُمَّ اَذِنْتَ لي في دُعائِكَ وَمَسْأَلَتِكَ فَاسْمَعْ

bullet

يا سَميعُ مِدْحَتي، وَاَجِبْ يا رَحيمُ دَعْوَتي،

bullet

وَاَقِلْ يا غَفُورُ عَثْرَتي،

bullet

فَكَمْ يا اِلهي مِنْ كُرْبَة قَدْ فَرَّجْتَها وَهُمُوم قَدْ كَشَفْتَها،

bullet

وَعَثْرَة قَدْ اَقَلْتَها، وَرَحْمَة قَدْ نَشَرْتَها، وَحَلْقَةِ بَلاء قَدْ فَكَكْتَها،

O Allah, You have given me permission to invoke Thee and
 beseech Thee,
bulletso listen, O Hearer, to my words of praise,
bulletand give a favorable reply to my supplication,
bulletand minimize my falling into misery, O the often-forgiving.

How many a trouble, O my Lord, You have removed:

bulletAnd many a sorrow have You dispelled;
bulletAnd many a misery have You mitigated;
bulletAnd Your mercy You have spread,
bulletAnd circles of misfortunes You have cut short.

 

 

3.  Praising God's Attributes:   go to top of page

bullet

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَداً،

bullet

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ في الْمُلْكِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِىٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبيراً،

bullet

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ بِجَميعِ مَحامِدِهِ كُلِّهَا، عَلى جَميعِ نِعَمِهِ كُلِّها

bullet

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي لا مُضادَّ لَهُ في مُلْكِهِ، وَلا مُنازِعَ لَهُ في اَمْرِهِ،

bullet

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي لا شَريكَ لَهُ في خَلْقِهِ، وَلا شَبيهَ لَهُ في عَظَمَتِهِ،

bullet

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الْفاشي في الْخَلْقِ اَمْرُهُ وَحَمْدُهُ،

bullet

الظّاهِرِ بِالْكَرَمِ مَجْدُهُ، الْباسِطِ بِالْجُودِ يَدَهُ،

bullet

الَّذي  لا تَنْقُصُ خَزائِنُهُ، وَلا تَزيدُهُ كَثْرَةُ الْعَطاءِ إلاّ جُوداً وَكَرَماً،

bullet

اِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَزيزُ الْوَهّابُ،

Praise be to Allah, Who has not taken unto Himself a wife, nor a son, and:
bulletWho has no partner in dominion,
bulletnor any protecting friend through dependence.
bulletSo Magnify Him in His splendor.

Praise be to Allah, with full gratitude for his bounties.
Praise be to Allah, Who has no opponent to His rule, nor a challenger to His commands.
Praise be to Allah, Who has no counsel to meddle with His works of creation, nor an equal to Him in His splendor.

Praise be to Allah, Whose commandments operate in Creation;

bulletHis glory is evident through His love and kindness.
bulletHis overflowing generosity is available through His unlimited favors,
bulletand whose favors do not exhaust His resources,
bulletand the more He gives, the further He wants to give, for He is so loving, so caring.

Verily Allah is the Mighty, the Generous.

 

 

4.  In beseeching forgiveness:   go to top of page

bullet

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّي اَسْاَلُكَ  قَليلاً مِنْ كَثير، مَعَ حاجَة بي اِلَيْهِ عَظيمَة وَغِناكَ عَنْهُ قَديمٌ،

bullet

وَهُوَ عِنْدي كَثيرٌ، وَهُوَ عَلَيْكَ سَهْلٌ يَسيرٌ،

bullet

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنَّ عَفْوَكَ عَنْ ذَنْبي،

bullet

وَتَجاوُزَكَ عَنْ خَطيـئَتي، وَصَفْحَكَ عَنْ ظُلْمي وَسِتْرَكَ عَنْ قَبيحِ عَمَلي،

bullet

وَحِلْمَكَ عَنْ كَثيرِ جُرْمي، عِنْدَ ما كانَ مِنْ خَطئي وَعَمْدي،

bullet

اَطْمَعَني في اَنْ اَسْأَلَكَ ما لا اَسْتَوْجِبُهُ مِنْكَ، الَّذي  رَزَقْتَني مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَاَرَيْتَني مَنْ قُدْرَتِكَ، وَعَرَّفْتَني مِنْ اِجابَتِكَ،

bullet

فَصِرْتُ اَدْعُوكَ آمِناً، وَاَسْاَلُكَ مُسْتَأنِساً، لا خائِفاً وَلا وَجِلاً،

bullet

مُدِلاًّ عَلَيْكَ فيـما قَصَدْتُ فيهِ اِلَيْكَ، فَاِنْ اَبْطأَ عَنّي عَتَبْتُ بِجَهْلي عَلَيْكَ،

bullet

وَلَعَلَّ الَّذي اَبْطأَ عَنّي هُوَ خَيْرٌ لي لِعِلْمِكَ بِعاقِبَةِ الاُْمُورِ،

bullet

فَلَمْ اَرَ مَوْلاً كَريماً اَصْبَرَ عَلى عَبْد لَئيم مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ

O Allah, I ask of You for minor requests out of Your rich offerings,
bulletof which I am in dire need and You are able to do without it
bulletbut for me it is a huge effort and for Thee it is easy and simple.

O Allah, truly, when You pardon my sins, and overlook my mistakes,

bullettake a lenient view of my poor conduct,
bulletcover up my foul actions,
bulletshow consideration in spite of my transgressions committed willfully or negligently,

I am tempted to ask for that which I do not deserve, from Thee

bulletYou who, through Thy mercy, give me the daily bread
bulletProvide me with what is suitable for me, through Thy control;
bulletAnd distinguish me with a favorable reply to my requests.

So I persist in calling out to Thee, believing in Thee, and I invoke Thee, talking familiarly, not afraid, nor shy,

bulletBut assured of Thy love and kindness whenever I turn to Thee
bulletPointing to Thee by the means of knowing Thee
bulletBut when I (out of ignorance) begin to despair of Your response, this may be a blessing in disguise.
bulletBecause You and You alone know the consequences and the aftermath.

I know no generous Lord as more accommodating to a disgruntled servant than You are to me.

 


5. In a rapport with the Almighty:    go to top of page

bullet

يا رَبِّ، اِنَّكَ تَدْعُوني فَاُوَلّي عَنْكَ،

bullet

وَتَتَحَبَّبُ اِلَيَّ فَاَتَبَغَّضُ اِلَيْكَ،

bullet

وَتَتَوَدَّدُ اِلَىَّ فَلا اَقْبَلُ مِنْكَ، كَاَنَّ لِيَ التَّطَوُّلَ عَلَيْكَ،

bullet

فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ ذلِكَ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ لي، وَالاِْحْسانِ اِلَىَّ،

bullet

وَالتَّفَضُّلِ عَلَيَّ بِجُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ،

bullet

فَارْحَمْ عَبْدَكَ الْجاهِلَ وَجُدْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ اِحْسانِكَ

bullet

اِنَّكَ جَوادٌ كَريمٌ،

bulletO Lord! You call upon me, but I turn my back on it.
bulletYou offer to be familiar with me, but I pay no heed.
bulletYou love me, but I do not correspond to Thee: As if You have overextended my favors over Thee.
bulletYet You do not abstain from bestowing favors and blessings on me from Thy mercy and grace
bulletSo, O Lord! Have mercy on Thy ignorant servant and
Award him with the favor of Thy goodness
bulletVerily You are most generous and most kind.

bullet

دَيّانِ الدّينِ، رَبِّ الْعَالَمينَ،

bullet

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ عَلى حِلْمِهِ بَعْدَ عِلمِهِ،

bullet

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي لَيْسَ لَهُ مُنازِعٌ يُعادِلُهُ،

bullet

وَلا شَبيهٌ يُشاكِلُهُ، وَلا ظَهيرٌ يُعاضِدُهُ

bullet

قَهَرَ بِعِزَّتِهِ الاَْعِزّاءَ، وَتَواضَعَ لِعَظَمَتِهِ الْعُظَماءُ،

bullet

فَبَلَغَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ ما يَشاءُ،

bullet

اَلْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذي يُجيبُني حينَ اُناديهِ،

bullet

وَيَسْتُرُ عَلَيَّ كُلَّ عَورَة وَاَنَا اَعْصيهِ،

bullet

وَيُعَظِّمُ الْنِّعْمَةَ عَلَىَّ فَلا اُجازيهِ،

bullet

فَكَمْ مِنْ مَوْهِبَة هَنيئَة قَدْ اَعْطاني، وَعَظيمَة مَخُوفَة قَدْ كَفاني،

bullet

وَبَهْجَة مُونِقَة قَدْ اَراني،

bullet

فَاُثْني عَلَيْهِ حامِداً، وَاَذْكُرُهُ مُسَبِّحاً،

bulletPraise be to Allah, Who is without equal to challenge Him,
bulletNor is there a likeness unto Him, nor a helper to assist Him.
bulletHe tames the powerful by His Might, and subdues the Arrogant by His Greatness;
bulletSo He, through His power, fulfils what He wills.
bulletPraise be to Allah, Who responds to me when I call upon Him;
bulletConceals my shortcomings even though I disobey Him;
bulletGives me the plenty of His bounties yet I ask Him for more.
bulletMany favors He has sanctioned for me;
bulletmany horrifying dangers He has averted from me;
bulletand many joys He has provided for me.
bulletTherefore, I keep singing His praises and keep on glorifying Him.

bullet

بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْء قَديرٌ،

اِشْفِ بِهِ صُدُورَنا، وَاَذْهِبْ بِهِ غَيْظَ قُلُوبِنا،

bullet

وَاهْدِنا بِهِ لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِاِذْنِكَ،

bullet

اِنَّكَ تَهْدي مَنْ تَشاءُ اِلى صِراط مُسْتَقيم،

وَانْصُرْنا بِهِ عَلى عَدُوِّكَ وَعَدُوِّنا اِلـهَ الْحَقِّ آمينَ،

bulletAnd unburden us from hatred and anger,

اَللّـهُمَّ اِنّا نَشْكُو اِلَيْكَ فَقْدَ نَبِيِّنا صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، وَغَيْبَةَ وَلِيِّنا،

bullet

وَكَثْرَةَ عَدُوِّنا، وَقِلَّةَ عَدَدِنا،

bullet

وَشِدّةَ الْفِتَنِ بِنا، وَتَظاهُرَ الزَّمانِ عَلَيْنا،

bullet

فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ،

bullet

وَاَعِنّا عَلى ذلِكَ بِفَتْح مِنْكَ تُعَجِّلُهُ، وَبِضُرٍّ تَكْشِفُهُ،

bullet

وَنَصْر تُعِزُّهُ وَسُلْطانِ حَقٍّ تُظْهِرُهُ،

وَرَحْمَة مِنْكَ تَجَلِّلُناها وَعافِيَة مِنْكَ تُلْبِسُناها، بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ

O Allah, our complaint to You is caused by the departure of our Prophet, Thy blessings be upon him and on his family, and
bulletthe absence of our guardian (al-Mahdi),
bulletThe numerous enemies, versus our small number,
bulletThe widespread disorder, and the vicissitudes of time.

So confer Thy blessings on Muhammad and on his family, and

bulletHelp us to overcome this state of affairs.
bulletDisperse the ominous clouds hanging over our heads;
bulletLend us a helping hand to achieve success;
bulletBring in the rule of justice and fair play;
bulletMake us bright, free from grief; and take care of us.
bulletThrough Thy mercy, O Lord most Merciful.
