The supplication on Fridays

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

All praise be to Allah, the First before the bringing forth and the giving of life,

and the Last after the annihilation of all things,

the All-knowing Who forgets not him who remembers Him,

decreases not him who thanks Him,

disappoints not him who supplicates Him,

and cuts not off the hope of him who hopes in Him!

O Allah, I call You to witness

and You are sufficient Witness

and I call to witness all Your angels,

the inhabitants of Your heavens,

the bearers of Your Throne,

Your prophets and Your messengers whom You have sent out,

and the various kinds of creatures You have brought forth,

that I bear witness that You are Allah;

there is no god but You, You alone,

Who have no associate nor any equal,

and Your word has no failing, nor any change;

and that Muhammad, Allah bless him and his Household, is Your servant and Your messenger;

he delivered to the servants that with which You charged him,

struggled for Allah as is His due,

gave the good news of the truth of reward,

and warned of the veracity of punishment.

O Allah, make me firm in Your religion as long as You keep me alive,

make not my heart swerve after You have guided me,

and give me mercy from You,

surely, You are the All-bestower.

Bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

make me one of his followers and his partisans,

muster me in his band,

and give me the success of accomplishing the obligatory observance of Fridays,

performing the acts of obedience which You have made incumbent upon me within it,

and receiving the bestowal which You have apportioned for its people

on the Day of Recompense!

Surely, You are the Almighty, the All-wise!
