~*~  FRIDAY DUA'A of Imam Zain-ul-Abideen (AS) ~*~

Dua'as of Imam Ali bin Hussain Zain-ul-Abideen (AS) to be recited between Zuhr & Asr prayers.
STAND FACING QIBLA & recited the following dua'a: (Audio)

O Allah! Send blessings on Mohammed & on the children of Mohammed.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
O He Who feels pity for him, who has not been dealt mercifully with by his (own) people!
O He Who gives asylum to him, who has not been given domicile anywhere!
O He Who does not turn down him, who seeks fulfillment of (his) wants!
O He Who does not disappoint those who take refuge with Him!
O He Who does not say no to those who love & worship Him!
O He Who holds dear the tiniest gift given & thanks for the easiest to be done deed done, in His cause!

O He Who shows gratitude for "very little", & gives much in return!
O He Who draws near to Him who has very little of worth but strives (in His way) to come close to Him!
O He Who also remembers & calls for him who has turned his back on Him!
O He Who does not withdraw facilities, not gives punishment in a hurry!
O He Who makes good bear fruit till it grows fat, & overlooks defects till they wear out!
Come out expectations saturated (duly fulfilled) through the channel of Thy generosity; the cup (of request) filled to overflowing.

Falling short of catching even the glimpse, lose color the words used to describe Thy attributes, because Thou stands highest in authority, far above the topmost summit, Thy power & majesty vie in glory surpassing all others in distinction, every great is dwarfed to nothingness before Thee, every distinction is mean & low compared to Thy perfection.
Frustrated & cheated runs amok whose approaches some one else other than Thee, & whose brings some one else other than Thee to mind & gives over to him suffers loss, whose takes refuge in a hideout, except Thine (Yours), goes wrong & in betrayed, whose tries to profit from & produce a good effect gets into trouble unless Thou turns it to a good purpose,
Gateway to Thy favors is always wide-open for the willing devotees,

Thy liberality is common & open to all who knock at Thy door,
Thy support is close at hand & easily available to all who call out Thee for help, never sent away, deluded in their hopes, those who lean upon Thee,
whoso gives over to Thee does not give up hopes of getting Thy gifts;
whoso cries unto Thee for forgiveness is never vengefully thrown into misery;
means of livelihood are freely available even to those who disobey Thee;
he who is far away from Thee also receives Thy kind attention;
to do good to the wrongdoers is Thy usual disposition;
to have mercy on the transgressor is Thy general attitude; so much that indulgence made them unmindful of the inevitable accountability, & temporary delay lulled them to sleep, headless of the agony of death-struggle;
although Thou very kindly treated them gently so as they may pay attention to what Thou says, & granted a respite to them because Thou has total control over Thy everlasting Sovereignty (power to take to task whenever Thou wills).

Therefore the worthy did receive their share of happiness, & the unworthy were left in the lurch, helpless & forsaken.
All, tied up, shall wait for Thy judgment, their affairs carried out strictly according to Thy directions.
Delay & respite, however long it may be, does not undermine Thy authority, & to leave one alone from application of what is soon ready & at hand does not annul (Thy) right to retrial; Thy reason & motive, unshakable, hold out, & Thy authority last forever, never does it grown less,

So for ever is condemned he who walked lamely into darkness, away from Thee, finds himself helplessly forsaken, always a run away, if Thou expels him, torn asunder & be miserable is he who stirs up or incites hostility against Thee.
How long frequent failure shall follow at his heels?
When shall he be free of care?
How long shall he have no hope of being within reach of ease & comfort?
There is no highhandedness in it. Fair & precise is Thy law, There is no confusion in it. For, surely, Thou has clearly made known the legal framework, & has given no chance to pretext or excuse.
Thou has given warning in advance, has very kindly inspired with a desire for (Thy) friendship, quoted fables & similitude, made longer the period of respite, put off & slowed down mopping up operation.

Able (has full powers) to do a thing at once, Thou waited patiently, for a long time avoided haste, not that time & situation puzzle thee, or thou put up with & stood for (disobedience) out of weakness, or did nothing due to oversight, or bid Thy time to win friendship, but to settle evidence once & for all beyond doubt, to bring to fullness Thy generosity, to make available Thy favors to their full satisfaction, to make good Thy bounties.
All that took effect & came to pass, never went amiss, & will go on, uninterrupted.
Thy proofs shine bright, look best & dispel obscurity in a way that each & ever aspect is made distinctly clear, style & substance are so exquisite that translate & distinguish its own symbols & similes, always so fresh, fine & delicate that put in order & narrate its own intricacies, so ever meaningful that every tiniest detail is exact & essential.
Just now overawed silence has been broken in Thy praise, wonder & amazement had stunned the speech to withhold my tongue from glorifying Thee.
Lapse or falling short of its accepted, (it was) not done intentionally,

O my Master, but I did not come up to the level, so behold, I hurry up unto Thee, and make a request to direct my course safely.
Send blessings on Mohammad & on the children of Mohammad & pay attention to my heart-to-heart talk, accept my supplications, do not make my days bleak & gloomy,
do not put me to shame by saying no to my demands, & very kindly receive me with open arms when I come close to Thee & wish me well when I take leave.
Verily Thou does not run short when make up Thy mind, nor ever is not equal to that which Thou art asked for, Thou art able (has absolute powers) to do all things, & there is no authority, nor planning except Allah's, the Highest High.
