Allāhumma fātira al-samāwāti wal-arḍi, ʿālima al-ghaybi wal-shahādati, innī aʿhadu ilayka fī hādhihi al-ḥayāti al-dunya: innaka in takilnī ilā nafsī tuqarribunī mina al-sharri, wa-tubāʿidunī mina al-khayri, wa-innī in athiku illā biraḥmatika fajʿalhu lī ʿindaka ʿahdan tu’addihī ilayya yawma al-qiyāmati, innaka lā-tukhlifu al-mīʿād O Allah, Originator of the heavens and earth, Knower of the seen and unseen, I testify in this worldly life of mine that if You leave me to myself, by that You are bringing me closer to harm and distancing me from good. I have no confidence except in Your mercy, so let Aclear subject of most of the supplications of the pious predecessors is sincerity, which shows where their priorities Allāhumma urzuqnī shahādatan fī sabīlika wajʿal mawtī fī balādi rasūlika ṣalla Allahu ʿalayhi wa-sallam. Allahuma lā-tajʿal qatlī ʿalā yadi ʿabdin sajada laka sajdatan yuḥājjunī bihā yawma al-qiyāmah O Allah, I ask You, to be accepted as a martyr in the city of your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). O Allah, do not let my killing be at the hand of someone who ever prostrated to You, lest he use that against me on the Day of Judgement. In the first du ʿ ā’ we discussed the death of Abū Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and how he longed for the last of his deeds and the last of his days to be the best, and the best moment to be when he meets Allah (glorified and exalted is He) . Now, consider the situation of ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) ; imagine knowing that you are going to be killed and that your ending is going to be murder. ʿUmar would know this is the case because the Prophet (peace be upon him) was with him and Abū Bakr and ʿUthman (may Allah be pleased with them) on Mount Uhud and it shook. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘Be firm O Uhud! You have upon you a Prophet (himself), a ṣiddīq (Abū Bakr) and two martyrs (meaning ʿUmar and ʿUthman)’. So ʿUmar (may Allah be pleased with him) was well aware that he will be martyred, but that wasn’t enough for him. He knew that he was guaranteed Jannah because the Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioned ʿUmar on numerous occasions as being one who is guaranteed Paradise. He feared hypocrisy, because he would actually ask Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) for the names of hypocrites to know if he was on the list that the Prophet (peace be upon him) gave to him, and yet he still made so many du ʿ ā’ s about the moment that he would be killed, who would kill him, where he would be killed and how he would be killed.

Prayers of the Pious is a collection of prayers and supplications from the Quran, the Sunnah, and the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The prayers are organized into 30 chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Islamic spirituality.Allāhumma ijʿal khayra zamānī ākhirahu, wa-khayra ʿamalī khawātimahu, wa-khayra ayyāmī yawma alqāka Ilāhī lā-tuʿadhib lisānan yukhbiru ʿanka, wa-lā ʿaynan tanẓuru ilā ʿulūmin tadullu ʿalayka, wa-lā yadan taktubu hadītha rasūlika; fabiʿizzatika lā-tudkhilanī al-nār My God, do not punish a tongue that informs about You, nor an eye that looks upon (Islamic) sciences which point to You, nor a hand that writes the Traditions of Your Messenger. So by Your honour, do not admit me into the Fire. Imam Ibn al-Jawzi (may Allah be pleased with him) was a great teacher and scholar who lived centuries after the Prophet (peace be upon him) . He would tell his students, if you make it to Jannah and you don’t find me then ask about me, and ask Allah (glorified and exalted is He) to enter me into Jannah as well. Imam Ibn al-Jawzi had sessions with thousands of people at a time, and he would cry out to Allah (glorified and exalted is He) and say, ‘O Allah! Do not punish me, because if you punish me people will say that Allah punished the one that used to teach us about him’. His argument in his du ʿ ā’ s and pleas to Allah (glorified and exalted is He) , like this one, were born out of a fear of hypocrisy: I’m teaching people about You, so don’t humiliate me because then they will say that Allah humiliated the one who taught them about Him. I’m guiding people to Jannah, I’m acting as an ultimate instrument of guidance, but if I do things or say things that are not pleasing to You that might cause me to be punished, don’t let it be that people show up in Jannah and they don’t find the one who taught them about You. This is one of the things we learn from the Prophet (peace be upon him) , to invoke Allah (glorified and exalted is He) with our good deeds; not out of arrogance but out of humility. When you are invoking Allah (glorified and exalted is He) recognize your shortcomings, or realize that you might not be the best of people and you need to rectify those flaws that you need to overcome. Become an instrument of guidance to His gardens, and out of His generosity and benevolence and honour, Allah will not enter you into the Fire. There are some Companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) who were so poetic with everything that they said and everything that they did. One of those is ʿAli ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) , the cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet (peace be upon him) , and one of the first believers. ʿAli was near and dear to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he resembled him in many different ways. This du ʿ ā’ is a narration of the qiyām du ʿ ā’ , the nightly prayer of ʿAli (may Allah be pleased with him) that he would stand and recite. It’s a long but poetic du ʿ ā’ , and at the end of it all ʿAli knows that no matter how much you praise Allah (glorified and exalted is He) , you will never be able to fully encompass the praise and the gratitude that He is due. As long as you call upon Allah and show gratitude and praise Him for His creation, praise Him for His mercy, praise Him for His bounties, praise Him for His forgiveness, Allah will not disappoint. No amount of praise can truly encompass the praise that He is due, because His mercy and benevolence exceeds all the praise that we could ever express. May Allah (glorified and exalted is He) allow us to praise Him as beautifully as ʿAli (may Allah be pleased with him) , this beautiful servant of His, and to not be let down and to be guaranteed Paradise as ʿAli was guaranteed Paradise.

Adhhibi al-ba’sa rabba al-nāsi, wa’shfi anta al-shāfī lā-shifā’a illā shifā’uka shifā’an lā-yughādiru saqaman Remove the illness O Sustainer of Mankind. Cure the disease, for You are the One Who cures, there is no cure except Your cure. Grant me a cure that leaves no illness. So, she makes this du ʿ ā’ for him, and there is no greater du ʿ ā’ than that of a mother and no more powerful a du ʿ ā’ than that of a person who is under oppression. There are so many themes that we can take from this du ʿ ā’ , the du ʿ ā’ of the oppressed, the du ʿ ā’ of the mother, the love and admiration that this mother had for her own child and what she saw in his standing and whimpering and crying out to Allah (glorified and exalted is He) ; how he struggled his entire life and lived the life of resistance. She not only mentions his sacrifices and his service, but she also asks Allah for the reward of her sacrifice and her service. Perhaps the most important lesson we can take from this is that Asma’ was privy to the fact that the death of her son would ultimately lead to her own death as well, as she was living at that point through her son. When ʿAbdullah ibn Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) was crucified, he was left crucified next to the Kaʿbah, and she would come out, this 100-year-old woman, and cry at his body and ask: ‘Isn’t it time for this noble warrior to come down. Isn’t it time for this body, this man to be honoured?’ She pleaded until eventually his body was taken down, and she died only a few days later. May Allah (glorified and exalted is He) be pleased with her and allow us to meet this beautiful woman, this powerful mother, who is a symbol of resistance, a symbol of righteousness in all circumstances, on the Day of Judgement. May Allah (glorified and exalted is He) be pleased with her son and be pleased with her family and May Allah allow us to face our oppressors with the greatest courage and great sincerity and be families that are thankful and patient even in the most difficult days.

By Your might! This is my commitment for as long as you keep me alive. By Your might! Even if you scold me, I will never leave your door, nor will anything but your generosity and your grace be felt in my heart.

O Allah! We ask you the best of this life and the best of the Hereafter and protect us from the Fire of Hell.’ (al-Baqarah 2:201) In a similar vein, Salam ibn Mutiʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) was heard making this du ʿ ā’ : ‘O Allah, if you have granted any righteous servant of Yours a station because of a trial they faced, then grant it to me while sparing me that trial.’ Allah is capable of giving the best of this life and the best of the next, so don’t ask Allah for trials and tests but still seek reward. Be graceful when Allah tests you because it might be the case that we can only reach that station of Allah’s pleasure by going through that trial and test. At the same time, when asking Allah know that you are asking from a merciful Lord, a capable Lord, so ask the best from Him. May Allah (glorified and exalted is He) grant us the best of this life and the best of the Hereafter and protect us from the punishment of Hell. May He grant us the highest station of seekers, and the highest station of the patient, and the highest station of the grateful without putting us through trials that could potentially compromise that patience and allow us to lose out on that reward.
