His Supplication in Worrisome Tasks
His Supplication when Faced with a Worrisome Task or when
Misfortune Descended and at the Time of Distress
(Supplication - 7)

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
|
O He through whom the knots of detested things are
untied!
O
He through whom the cutting edge of hardships is
blunted!
O
He from whom is begged the outlet to the freshness of relief!
Intractable affairs yield to Thy
power,
means are made ready by Thy
gentleness,
the decree goes into effect through Thy
power, and
all things proceed according to Thy desire.
By Thy desire they follow Thy
command
without Thy
word and
by Thy will they obey Thy
bans
without Thy prohibition.
Thou art the supplicated in
worries
and the place of flight in
misfortunes;
none of them is repelled unless Thou repellest,
none is removed unless Thou removest.
Upon me has come down, My
Lord,
something whose weight burdens
me and
upon me has
fallen
something whose carrying oppresses me.
Through Thy
power
Thou hast brought it down upon
me and
through Thy
authority
Thou hast turned it toward me.

None can send away what Thou hast
brought,
none can deflect what Thou hast
turned,
none can open what Thou hast
closed,
none can close what Thou hast
opened,
none can make easy what Thou hast made
difficult,
none can help him whom Thou hast abandoned.
So bless Muhammad and his
Household,
open for me,
my Lord,
the door of relief through Thy
graciousness,
break from me the authority of worry by Thy
strength,
confer the beauty of Thy gaze upon my
complaint,
let me taste the sweetness of benefaction in what I
ask, give
me from Thyself mercy and wholesome
relief,
and appoint for me from Thyself a quick way out!
Distract me not through
worry from
observing Thy
obligations and acting in accordance with Thy prescriptions.
My capacity has been straitened, my
Lord,
by what has come down on
me, and I
am filled with
worry
by carrying what has happened to
me, while
Thou hast power to remove what has afflicted
me
and to repel that into which I have
fallen.
So
do that for
me
though I merit it not from
Thee,
O Possessor of the Mighty Throne!
