Imam Al-Mahdi (a.j)

Dua Faraj

Du'a al-Faraj

Invocation for the Advent of the Imam of the Age ('a.j)

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Bismillahi 'r-rahmani 'r-rahim

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful

إِلَهِيْ عَظُمَ الْبَلَاءُ وَبَرِحَ الْخَفَاءُ

Ilahi 'azuma'l-bala'u wa bariha'l-khafa'

O my Lord! The calamity has aggravated, the absence prolonged.

وَانْكَشَفَ الْغِطَاءُ وَانْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ ،

Wa'nkashafa'l-ghita'u wa'nqata'a'r-raja'

The curtain of modesty has been lifted; hope has been curtailed.

وَضَاقَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَمُنِعَتِ السَّمَاءُ

Wa daqati'l-ardu wa muni'ati's-sama'

The earth has been narrowed; and sky has been denied.

وَأَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَإِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَي

Wa anta'l-musta'anu wa ilayka'l-mushtaka

And You are the One from whom help is sought and complaints are made

وَ عَلَيْكَ الْمُعَوَّلُ فِيْ الشِّدَّةِ وَالرَّخَاءِ،

Wa 'alayka al-mu'awwalu fi'sh-shiddati wa'r-rakha'

And in You we trust in the times of difficulty.

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَي مُحَمَّدٍ وَّآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa ali Muhammad

O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad (S) and the progeny of Muhammad (S),

أُوْلِي الْأَمْرِ الَّذِيْنَ فَرَضْتَ عَلَيْنَا طَا عَتَهُمْ

Uli'l-amri'l-ladhina faradta 'alayna ta'atahum

The possessors of authority whose obedience you have enjoined upon us

وَ عَرَّفْتَنَا بِذَالِكَ مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ ، فَفَّرِجْ عَنَّا بِحَقِّهِمْ فَرَجاً عَاجِلاً قَرِيْباً كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ

Wa 'arraftana bidhalika manzilatahum fafarrij 'anna bi-haqqihim farajan 'ajilan qariban kalamhi'l-basari aw huwa aqrab

And by that made us aware of their position. Then make open for us, by their truth, an immediate opening, immediate as a wink or sooner.
