At Your service, O Allh! At Your service!
And all goodness is in your hands! Allh! Allh!
Allh!My Lord, there is no equal to You!
O Allh, O Merciful One, I ask You by Your unique Oneness, mercy, ability, strength and
power, seeing the intermediary of Yourself and your Emissary and your Prophet , and
your Saint
,and by the right of this noble month [Shabn] and what follows it from
the great and mighty month [Raman], and by the right of this night in which all the
judicious commands are allocated that You set right our affairs, apparent of them and
the hidden, and what is absent and what is present, and what is small from amongst
them and [what is] insignificant, and what is significant; and that You assist us with a
mighty assistance, and You support us with Your support, and that You populate our
city [Madna Kawlakh] with a Sunn congregation of scholars, saints, righteous people,
epistemics, submitting males and females, and believing males and females;
And that You guard us with Your Eyes that do not sleep; and that You suffice us by Your
sufficiency that does not expire, and that You place us on the straight path and protect
us from the misguided and misguiding leaders and their armies and followers, and
remove us from the party of the people of lustful desires, and grant us safety from why
You have afflicted on them, and make us leaders of the pious and God-conscious;
And make this soil good and pleasant for us and make us good and pleasant for it, and
bless us in its dry measure (mudd) and acreage (i)1 and bless us in its water and its
earth, and cause it to thrive and be frequented for You and by You;
By the rights of the Oft-frequented House (bayt al-mamr)and the Mother of Cities
(umm al-qur); and by the right of ayba, the city of the Chosen One (al-muaf); and
by the right of the blessed land of Syria (al-Shm), the blessed land that is it; and by the
right of Fez [of] the seal al-Tijn
, with only what he has repleted for us in this
place;
And make it safe and sacrosanct, in which are gathered the fruits and provisions of every
type; and provide us in it with what will be a repose for our hearts and bodies, and
constant well-being and gratitude for the well-being, and safety from every affliction and

(khira).My Lord, make this a secure city and provide its people with fruits2; and place
in it the secret of the station of Ibrhm and [wherein] whoever enters it is granted
safety.
O Owner of Majesty and Nobility!
O Noble One! O Generous One!
O Proximate One! O Responder!
May peace and blessings be upon our master Muammad and his family and
