Friday Ziyarat
One of the recommended acts on a Friday is to perform a Ziyarat of the Holy Prophet and noble Imams.
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ ايُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ
Peace be upon you, O Prophet
وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
and be upon you Allah’s mercy and blessings.
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ ايُّهَا ٱلنَّبِيُّ ٱلْمُرْسَلُ
Peace be upon you, O missioned Prophet,
وَٱلْوَصِيُّ ٱلْمُرْتَضَىٰ
(and peace be upon you) O well-pleased successor (of the Prophet),
وَٱلسَّيِّدَةُ ٱلْكُبْرىٰ
(and peace be upon you) O grand lady,
وَٱلسَّيِّدَةُ ٱلزَّهْرَاءُ
(and peace be upon you) O Luminous lady,
وَٱلسِّبْطَانِ ٱلْمُنْتَجَبَانِ
(and peace be upon you) O two elite grandsons (of the Prophet),
وَٱلاوْلاَدُ ٱلاعْلاَمُ
(and peace be upon you) O descendants—the elite signs
وَٱلامَنَاءُ ٱلْمُنْتَجَبُونَ
and the well-selected trustees.
جِئْتُ ٱنْقِطَاعاً إِلَيْكُمْ
Here I am devoting myself to you,
وَإِلَىٰ آبَائِكُمْ وَوَلَدِكُمُ ٱلْخَلَفِ
to your fathers, and to your son, the Successor
عَلَىٰ بَرَكَةِ ٱلْحَقِّ
on the blessing of the truth.
فَقَلْبِي لَكُمْ مُسَلِّمٌ
My heart is thus subservient to you
وَنُصْرَتِي لَكُمْ مُعَدَّةٌ
and my support is prepared for you
حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ ٱللَّهُ بِدِينِهِ
until Allah will judge about His religion.
فَمَعَكُمْ مَعَكُمْ
I am with you, verily with you
لاََ مَعَ عَدُوِّكُمْ
but not with your enemy.
إِنِّي لَمِنَ ٱلْقَائِلينَ بِفَضْلِكُمْ
I am one of them who believe in your superiority
مُقِرٌّ بِرَجْعَتِكُمْ
and I acknowledge your Return.
لاََ انْكِرُ لِلَّهِ قُدْرَةً
I never deny the all-powerfulness of Allah
وَلاَ ازْعُمُ إِلاَّ مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ
and I do not claim but that which Allah wills.
سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ ذِي ٱلْمُلْكِ وَٱلْمَلَكُوتِ
Glory be to Allah, Lord of kingdom and realm.
يُسَبِّحُ ٱللَّهَ بِاسْمَائِهِ جَميعُ خَلْقِهِ
All His creatures glorify Allah by His Names.
وَٱلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ ارْوَاحِكُمْ وَاجْسَادِكُمْ
Peace be upon your souls and your bodies.
وَٱلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ ٱللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
Peace and Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon you all.
