1- O God, this is a blessed and fortunate day, within which the Muslims are gatheredin the quarters of Thy earth. Among them are present the asker, the seeker, the beseecher, the fearful, while Thou art looking upon their needs. So I ask Thee by Thy munificence and generosity - and easy upon Thee is what I ask Thee! -that Thou blessest Muhammad and his Household. 2- And I ask Thee, O God, our Lord -for Thine is the kingdom and Thine is the praise; there is no god but Thou, the Clement, the Generous, the All-loving, the All-kind, Possessor of majesty and munificence, Originator of the heavens and the earth -whenever Thou apportionest among Thy faithful servantsgood, well being, blessing, guidance, works in obedience to Thee, or good through whichThou art kind to them by guiding them to Thee, or raisest them up a degree with Thee, or givest them the good of this world or the next, that Thou givest me amply my share and allotment of it. 3- And I ask Thee, O God -for Thine is the kingdom and the praise; there is no god but Thou -that Thou blessest Muhammad, Thy servant and Thy messenger, Thy beloved and Thy selected friend, Thy chosen from among Thy creation, and the Household of Muhammad, the pious, the pure, the chosen, with a blessing no one has strength to count but Thou, that Thou associatest us withthe most righteous of Thy faithful servantswho supplicate Thee today- O Lord of the worlds! —and that Thou forgivest us and them!
