as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatAllah,

The other day I was surfing the net and came across a *beautiful* dua, said by sa'd al ghamdi during one of the last days of Ramadan a few years back.

I sat my father down and made him translate it for me.  I thought I'd share it with you all.. yeah, translating takes away from its beauty, but it's still amazing :)

Please remember me in your dua these last few days of Ramadan!!

Jazakam Allahu khayran. :)

wasalaamu alaykum.


Listen to the dua in Arabic here:
http://www.gzastorm.i12.com/ghamdi/dua.mp3  [17:44]

And the english is below...

[color=black]


Oh Allah, all praise is due to You; and to You is due all gratitude and
thanks; and to You returns all matters - the open of them, and the
hidden of them

Glory to the Lord of power and dominion; glory to the One who will not
die; glory to the One who gives life to His creation, and He will not
die

[--]

[--]

Glory to the One who is Lord of all lords [arbaab]; glory to the One
who facilitates all means; glory to the One whose throne [`arsh] is in
the heavens, and in the earth is His authority [sultaan]; glory to the
One whom no creature of this life [dunyaa] can see, and Whom no sense can
perceive; and Whom description seekers cannot perceive; and Whom
incidents do not change; and He does not fear His creatures

He knows the weight of the mountains; and the measure of the oceans;
and the count of rain; and the number of veins of the trees; and the
amount of the darkness of nights and the brightness of days

Oh Giver of refuge for those who seek refuge; Beloved of those who
love; Hope of those who are cut off [munqat`iyeen]; Raiser of the fallen;
The One who is with broken hearts; Who answers the calls of the
dejected; the Mercy of this life and the hereafter and the Compassion of both;
Who answers the desires of those in need

He knows the minds of the silent; One who does not have a partner from
whom He must seek, or an angel from whom He asks and is refused, or one
who is thankful to Him but is deprived

Glory is due to Allah, and praise; all glory is due to Allah

Oh Allah, guide us by Your favor among those whom You have guided; and
forgive us among those whom You have forgiven; and be our Protector
among those whom You have protected; and bless us in all that You have
given us; and save us and keep away from us any evil which You have
decreed; verily You decree and none decrees besides what You decree; and none
is abased whom You befriend; and none holds power whom You oppose.  
Blessed are You, our Lord, exalted; and to You are due all thanks, for
Your blessings and bounty; we seek forgiveness from Allah from all sins
and we repent to You; there is no refuge or place of shelter except for
to You

Oh Allah, distance our sins [ma'seeya] from our obedience to You that
will lead us to paradise; and indeed from certainty in faith [yaqeen]
comes difficulty in the life of this world [dunyaa]

And bless us our hearing, and our sight, and our faculties, as long as
You allow us to live; and make them protectors for us against the
transgressions we have committed; and make us victorious over our enemies;
and do not allow us to have problems in our deen; and do not allow us to
make the life of this world our greatest concern; and remove from us
difficulty in attaining knowledge; and do not make hellfire our
destination; and make jannah our home; and do not impose upon us, because of our
sins, people who lack mercy and do not fear You (as authorities over
us)

by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy

Oh Allah, preserve us with steadfastness in Islam while we're standing;
and preserve us in Islam while we're sitting; and preserve us in Islam
while we're sleeping

Oh Allah bless us with a pure life; and an easy death; and a return to
You without grief and difficulty;

Oh Allah help us with our death; and with the grave and its punishment;
and from slipping from the siraat; and the Day of Reckoning and its
terror

Our Lord, You created us in the best of forms; and You granted us
sustenance from Your bounty; and You taught us and gave us guidance; and
then we disobeyed You openly, but You forgave us; and we committed sins,
but You availed us from them; Your generosity has been descending upon
us, yet we sin easily, and we are weak; if You look to our account then
we indeed deserve punishment; but Your mercy is more expansive than our
sins, so grant us Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show
mercy

Oh Allah give us, and do not deprive us; and increase for us, and do
not decrease us; and be generous to us, and do not be severe with us; and
grace us, and do not disgrace us; and help us, and do not forsake us

Oh Allah, make white our faces (with light); and give us our books on
our right;
and raise our degrees in status; and make our balances heavy (on the
side of good); and overlook our sins [sayee`aat]

Oh Allah, Creator of the heavens and the earth; Lord of Majesty and
Bounty; by Your power which does not exhaust, we ask, Oh Allah, Oh the
Most Merciful

Make our vision lighted by Your Book; so that our tongues will manifest
(from it); and lighten our graves (with it); and by it forgive our sins
[dhunoob]; and improve with it our affairs

by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy

Oh Allah, allow the month of Ramadan to be completed in Your pleasure;
[--]; and with us attaining the success of entering Your garden

Oh our Lord, this holy month has indeed past; and we stand fearful and
shaking before You; and we hope in You; accept from us, our Lord, our
fasting [sawm]; and our standing in worship [qiyaamina]; and our prayers
[salaatina]; and our remembrance [adhkaarina]; and all our deeds; and
do not reject our deeds on the Day of Judgement, the Day of regret and
shame

Oh our Lord, close all gates except Your gate; and do not reject us
from Your presence; and if You do so, we have no power nor strength save
You

La ilaha illa Allah... He who wills the number of footsteps on the
surface of the earth, and on steps; and all praise is due to Allah, He in
Whose hand is the keys of escape [farraj]

Oh our Hope when all doors are closed; and our Hope when all links are
cut; and when there is a barrier between us and our family and our
people (and we stand alone)

La ilaha illa Allah... oh Allah do not let this gathering disperse
except when our sins are forgiven; and our efforts accepted; and our good
deeds counted

Oh the Powerful, the Most Forgiving; by Your mercy, oh the Most
Merciful of those who show mercy

Oh Allah, forgive all the Muslims that have died who bore witness to
Your oneness; and (who bore witness) to Your messenger with his message;
and who died upon that

Oh Allah, forgive them and grant them Your mercy; and pardon them; and
be generous with them; and bless their arrival; and make wide their
entrance; and wash them with water and coolness; and purify them from
their sins as clothes are washed of dirt

Oh Allah reward them and grant them goodness in the best way; and
pardon and forgive their sins [sayee`aat]; so that they feel tranquility in
their graves; and so that on the day of judgement they will be among
the protected ones;

Oh Allah, move them from the narrowness of the grave and the insects,
to everlasting jannah; with [--], comfort and vast shade

Oh Allah, grant us mercy when we reach where they have reached, under
casket and soil, alone; oh Allah, grant us mercy when our families wash
us; and mercy when they shroud us; and mercy when they carry us on
their shoulders; and mercy when they lower us into our graves; and mercy
when they throw on us dirt

by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy

oh Allah, bring down upon our graves the light of our fasting; and the
light of our prayers [salah]; and the light of our recitation of Qur'an

by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy

Oh Allah, who hears all; and who can revive the dead; and who will
dress the bones with flesh after death; have mercy on our weaknesses;
straighten our affairs; and end our deaths in good deeds

Oh Allah ornament our graves with the gardens of paradise; [--]

by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy

oh Allah, forgive the Muslim men and the Muslim women; and the
believing men and the believing women; those living and those dead; You are our
Protector; Hearer, the Near, the One who answers our dua

Oh Allah, we ask You for all good [khayr]; the sooner of it and the
later; what we know of it and what we don't know; and we seek refuge in
You from all evil [sharr]; the sooner of it and the later; what we know
of it and what we don't know

Oh Allah, whatever You have distributed in this blessed night of health
and well being, then make us, oh our Lord, among the fortunate who
receive from this distribution; and whatever You have distributed in this
night of trial [bala`a], keep it from us and from the Muslims

Oh Allah strengthen Islam and the Muslims; and disgrace shirk and the
mushrikeen; and smash the enemies of the deen

Oh Allah, our Lord, better the condition of the Muslims; oh Allah
better the young of us; and better the old of us; and better the women of
us; and make better the children of us; and our spouses

Oh Allah, forgive the Muslim women, those present and those absent; oh
Allah, raise their status; and make secure their dignity and honor
[awraat]; and accept from them their good deeds

by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy

Oh Allah, help Your forces and Your devoted servants [awliyaa] of those
who believe [mumineen]; amongst the elders, the scholars, and the pious
[shuyookh, ulema, saliheen]

by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy

Oh Allah, we ask You by Your beautiful names; and Your exalted
attributes; in this blessed night; save our necks from the hellfire
Oh Allah, save our necks from the hellfire
Oh Allah, save our necks from the hellfire

Oh Allah, save the necks of our fathers; and our mothers; and our
brothers; and our sisters; and our paternal uncles; and our paternal aunts;
and our maternal uncles; and our maternal aunts; and those who love us
for Your sake; and those who love each other for Your sake; and those
who lead us to good [khayr]; and those who facilitate good; and all the
Muslims, oh Lord of the worlds

Oh Allah, help Your servants and the mujahideen in Your way in all
places; Oh Allah help your worshippers in Chechnya; and in Bosna; and in
Palestine; and in Lebanon; and in all other places

Oh Allah, make firm their feet; Oh Allah guide their aim; oh Allah,
join them on the word of clear truth

Oh our Lord..

Overlook our sins when we reach The Gate and do not return us in
disappointment

Oh Allah, accept our dua
Oh Allah, accept our dua
Oh Allah, accept our dua

and do not return us in disappointment; and do not deprive us from Your
generosity that we seek; and do not return us deprived from Your
blessings

Oh Allah, make us from amongst the fortunate who will attain the reward
of laylatul qadr
Oh Allah, make us from amongst the fortunate who will attain the reward
of laylatul qadr
Oh Allah, make us from amongst the fortunate who will attain the reward
of laylatul qadr

by Your mercy, oh the Most Merciful of those who show mercy

Oh our Lord, grant us good in this life, and good in the hereafter, and
keep us from the punishment of the fire

Oh Allah, we seek refuge in You from Your displeasure [sakhatik]; and
we seek Your forgiveness, and we seek refuge in You from Your punishment

I cannot account for the praises that are due to You; You are as You
praise Yourself.  And peace and blessings be upon the messenger Muhammad,
and upon his family and companions.
