The supplication on Tuesdays
This dua from Imam Zainul Abideen is recommended to be recited on Tuesday.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
All praise be to Allah;
وَٱلْحَمْدُ حَقُّهُ كَمَا يَسْتَحِقُّهُ
and praise is His right, since He deserves it,
حَمْداً كَثيراً
abundant praise!
وَ اعُوذُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي:
I seek refuge in Him from the evil of my soul,
﴿إِنَّ ٱلنَّفْسَ ﻷَمَّارَةٌ بِٱلسُّوءِ
“For surely, the soul commands to evil
إِلاَّ مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّي﴾
except as my Lord has mercy.”
وَ اعُوذُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ
I seek refuge in Him from the evil of Satan
ٱلَّذِي يَزِيدُنِي ذَنْباً إِلَىٰ ذَنْبِي
who adds sins to my sin.
وَ احْتَرِزُ بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ فَاجِرٍ
I seek protection with Him from every wicked tyrant,
وَسُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ
unjust sovereign,
وَعَدُوٍّ قَاهِرٍ
and conquering enemy.
اَللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْنِي مِنْ جُنْدِكَ
O Allah, place me among Your troops,
فَإِنَّ جُنْدَكَ هُمُ ٱلْغَالِبُونَ
for Your troops—they are the victors,
وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِنْ حِزْبِكَ
and place me in Your party,
فَإِنَّ حِزْبَكَ هُمُ ٱلْمُفْلِحونَ
for Your party—they are the ones who prosper,
وَٱجْعَلْنِي مِنْ اوْلِيَائِكَ
and place me among Your friends,
فَإِنَّ اوْلِيَائَكَ لاَ خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
for Your friends—no fear shall be upon them, nor shall they experience sorrow.
اَللَّهُمَّ اصْلِحْ لِي دِينِي
O Allah, set right for me my religion,
فَإِنَّهُ عِصْمَةُ امْرِي
for it is the preserving tie of my affair;
وَ اصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي
set right for me my hereafter,
فَإِنَّهَا دَارُ مَقَرِّي
for it is the abode of my permanent lodging
وَإِلَيْهَا مِنْ مُجاوَرَةِ ٱللِّئَامِ مَفَرِّي
and to it I flee from the neighborhood of the vile!
وَٱجْعَلِ ٱلْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ
Make life an increase for me in every good
وَٱلْوَفَاةَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ
and death an ease for me from every evil!
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad,
خَاتَمِ ٱلنَّبِيِّينَ
the Seal of the Prophets
وَتَمَامِ عِدَّةِ ٱلْمُرْسَلِينَ
and the completion of the number of the envoys,
وَعَلَىٰ آلِهِ ٱلطَّيِّبِينَ ٱلطَّاهِرِينَ
and upon his Household, the good, the pure,
وَ اصْحَابِهِ ٱلْمُنْتَجَبِينَ
and upon his Companions, the distinguished,
وَهَبْ لِي فِي ٱلثُّلاثَاءِ ثَلاثاً
and give me on Tuesday three things:
لاَ تَدَعْ لِي ذَنْباً إِلاَّ غَفَرْتَهُ
Leave no sin for me unless You forgive it,
وَلاَ غَمّاً إِلاَّ اذْهَبْتَهُ
no grief unless You take it away,
وَلاَ عَدُوّاً إِلاَّ دَفَعْتَهُ
and no enemy unless You repel him!
بِبِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ خَيْرِ ٱلاسْمَاءِ
In the name of “In the name of Allah,” the best of the Names,
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلارْضِ وَٱلسَّمَاءِ
In the name of Allah, the Lord of the earth and the heaven,
اسْتَدْفِعُ كُلَّ مَكْرُوهٍ اوَّلُهُ سَخَطُهُ
I seek to repulse every hateful thing, the first of which is His anger,
وَ اسْتَجْلِبُ كُلَّ مَحْبُوبٍ اوَّلُهُ رِضَاهُ
and I seek to attract every lovable thing, the first of which is His good pleasure!
فَٱخْتِمْ لِي مِنْكَ بِٱلْغُفْرَانِ
So, seal me with forgiveness from You,
يَا وَلِيَّ ٱلإِحْسَانِ
O Patron of beneficence!
