Rites on Thursday (Taqeeb)

All praise be to Allah Who has taken away the shadowy night by His power

and brought the sight-giving day through His mercy.

He has clothed me in its brightness and given me its favor.

O Allah, just as You have spared me for this day, so also spare me for its likes,

bless the Prophet Muhammad and his Household,

torment me not in it and in other

nights and days

by my commitment of unlawful acts

and clothing myself in sins;

provide me with its good,

the good of all within it,

and the good of everything after it;

and turn away from me its evil,

the evil of all within it,

and the evil of everything after it!

O Allah, by the protective compact of Islam, I seek mediation with You!

By the inviolability of the Qur'an, I rely upon You!

By Muhammad the chosen,

Allah bless him and his Household,

I seek intercession with You.

So, recognize my protective compact

by which I hope my need will be granted,

O Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

O Allah, decree for me on Thursday five things,

which none embraces but Your generosity

and none supports but Your favors:

health through which I may have the strength to obey You,

worship by which I may deserve Your plentiful reward,

plenty in my state through lawful provision,

and that You make me secure in the places of fear through Your security,

and place me in Your fortress against the striking of worries and sorrows!

Bless Muhammad and his Household,

and make my seeking his mediation as an intercessor give profit

on the Day of Resurrection!

Surely, You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

O, Allah; send The blessings upon Muhammed, The seal of prophets and His household.

I seek protection for myself in the Lord of the East and the West

from the evil of every rebellious, standing, sitting, envious.

Refractory demon and We send down on you water from heaven,

to purify you thereby, to put away from you the defilement of Satan

and to strengthen your hearts, and to make firm your feet.

Stamp Your foot!

This is a washing-place cool for drinking.

And We sent down from heaven pure water to revive dead land,

and give to drink of it what We created, many cattle and men.

Now God has lightened it for you.

So that a lightening granted you by your Lord and the mercy that Allah desires

to lighten things for you, God will suffice you for them.

He is the All-hearer and the All-knower.

There is no power except with Allah, no conqueror except Allah. God prevails in His purpose.

There is no God save Allah; Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,

blessings of Allah be on him and his family.

I seek refuge in the might of Allah and I seek refuge in the power of Allah

and I seek refuge in His Messenger, may Allah bless him and his family and may He salute them with thorough salutation.

O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

hasten their Relief,

and destroy their enemies

from both jinn and human beings,

both the foremost and the later ones.

All Glory be to Allah.

Allah is the Most Great.

There is no god save Allah.

I pray the forgiveness of Allah; there is no god but He,

the Ever-living, the Self-Subsisting,

and I repent to Him

as a slave who is submissive,

acquiescent, and poor,

not controlling for himself any harm or profit,

or benefit or damage

and not controlling death nor life, nor raising (the dead) to life.

May Allah send peace upon Muhammad

and his Household; the pure, the immaculate,

the choicest, and the pious;

and may He spread thorough blessings over them.

O Allah, I beseech You in the name of Your Noble Face

and in the name of Your Sublime Name

to send blessings to Muhammad and his Household

and to forgive me my grave sin.
