DUA FOR RAJAB

The following dua has been taught by Imam Ja’ffer as-Sadiq [a] to be recited everyday

in the month of Rajab after the daily prayers.

1. Bismillah hir Rahman nir Rahim

(I begin ) in the name of Allah, the kind and the most merciful

2. Yaaman arjuhu li kulli khair

He, from whom I expect every good

3. wa aa'mana sakatahu Inda kulli shar

And in whom I look for safety from His anger from every evil (that I do)

4. Yaaman yu'til-kathira bil kalil

He who gives much (in return) for a little (in good deeds)

5. Yaaman yu'ti man sa'ala

O He who gives what is asked

6. Yaaman yu'ti man lam yas alhu

O He who gives even what is not asked for

7. Wa'man lam yaa'rif hu tahannunan minhu wa rahma

Although He (Allah) is not remembered: kindness and mercy is always shown by him

8. Aa'tini bimasalati e'yaka jami'a khairid duniya wa jami'a kharil aakhirah

Grant me with your knowledge; all good in this world and all good in the hereafter

9. was rif anni bimas alati eyaka jamia sharrid duniya washaril akhaera

And with Your knowledge, avert from me the bad of this world and the bad of the hereafter

10. Fa innahu ghairu man quusim ma’ataita

Because surely what you grant never decreases

11.Wa zidni min fadhlika ya karim

And increase for me (your goodness) from your grace; O Generous

Then Imam would hold his beard, shake his finger of shahada, weep and say;

12. Yaa zal jalali wal Iqram yazan na'ma'i waljud yazal manni watta'ul harrim shaybati alannaar.

The owner of Majesty & Honour, O The owner of Bounties & bestowal, O the

owner of Blessings & Power, forbid the fire on my 'person'.
