Salaat After Isha

O He to Whom the servants (of Him) resort in urgencies

and to Whom the creatures turn in ordeals;

O He Who knows the open and the hidden matters;

O He from Whom neither the ideas of illusions nor the initiatives of delusions can be concealed;

O the Lord of creatures and beings;

O He Who grasps the kingdoms of the earth and the heavens;

You are verily Allah; there is no god save You;

I thus try to connect with you in the name of ‘There is no god save You’

So, O He save Whom there is no god: (please) include me at this night with those at whom You have looked and thus You have mercy upon them;

and with those whose prayers have been heard by You and thus You have responded to them;

and with those whose true repentance has been admitted by You and thus You have accepted it;

and You have thus overlooked their past sins and enormous offenses.

verily, I am seeking Your shelter against my sins,

and I am resorting to You so that You may conceal my defects.

O Allah: (please) bestow lavishly upon me with Your generosity and Favor;

and condone my misdeeds out of Your forbearance and pardon,

and encompass me, at this night, with Your opulent honoring,

and include me at this night with Your intimate servants whom You have selected for obeying You,

and whom You have chosen for worshipping You,

and whom You have made Your elite and select people.

O Allah: (please) make me of those whose efforts are of a happy end,

and those whose shares of good things are big,

and make me of those who enjoy blissful life as they have been safe (from sins)

and those who have been awarded excellently as they have won,

and rescue me from the evil consequences of what I have committed,

and save me from doing more acts of disobedience to You,

and make me love the acts of obedience to You and whatever draws me near You and approaches me toward You.

O my Master: a fugitive resorts to none save You,

and a needy begs none save You,

and only on Your generosity does a repentant, contrite one depends

You have disciplined Your servants by means of generosity; and You are verily the most Generous of all those who are generous.

and You have instructed Your servants to pardon; and You are verily the All-forgiving, the All-merciful.

O Allah: (please) do not deprive me of Your generosity for which I hope,

and do not make me despair of Your opulent bounties,

and do not disappoint me of Your abundant sustenance that You decide, this night, for those who are obedient to You,

and include me with Your protection against Your evil creatures.

O my Lord: If I do not deserve so, then You are worthy of acting generously to me, and pardoning and forgiving me,

and (please) bestow upon me magnanimously according to that which befits You, not according to what I deserve,

verily, I carry an excellent opinion about You,

and I do hope for You,

and my self is hanged to the rope of Your generosity,

for You are verily the most Merciful of all those who show mercy,

and You are the most Generous of all those who are generous.

O Allah: (please) confer upon me exclusively with an abundant share of what You decide, out of Your generosity,

and I seek refuge with Your pardon against Your chastisement,

and (please) forgive me the sin that prevents me from enjoying high morals,

and suppresses my sustenance,

so that I will do that which excellently achieves Your satisfaction

and I will enjoy Your profuse granting,

and I will be delighted by Your abundant bounties.

I am having recourse to Your sanctity,

and I am asking for Your generosity,

and I am taking shelter in Your pardon against Your punishment,

and in Your forbearance against Your ire.

So, (please) bestow upon me generously with that which I have asked from You,

and confer upon me with that which I have begged from You,

I beseech You in Your name, since there is nothing great that You are.

.

O my Lord!

.

O Allah!

There is neither might nor power save with Allah.

.

Only that which Allah wants (will be).

There is no power save with Allah.
