Kalimat Rawdd al-Khafar (5)
Allaahuma, iniy a^uwdhu bika min ‘an ush~rika bika shaya’aan
God, ours, surely I seek refuge in You from associating with You, created things.

lords to Your Lordship, preferring to seek Your permanent Grace and not their lesser and
imperfect temptations that are seeking to make me failing and sinful, without hope.

and I know, and proceed (by) Forgivness, Yours, in what not I know.
I swear to this, as I am choosing and proceeding according to my knowledge, as best as I
know how. GOD, keep forgiving and strengthening and raising me, and show me what I do
not know, so I can improve my state, in a manner befit Your knowledge and agreement .
Innaka anta ^aalimu ul-ghaybi wa ash-shahaadat.
Indeed You (are) Knowing the unseen (inner) and the witnessed (outside).
Verily You, by Your tremendous ability to comprehend & guide, know every aspect of

GOD, make this similar and comparable to Your own graces of redemption You accepted
when You rectified and established the original surrender that resulted in perfect peace.
Wa as~lam~tu laka, wa aquwlu:
And I surrender in You, and I say:
So similarly for me, fashion a liberation and surrender to You in that submission of
peace, so I can say of my faith, state and circumstances that:
Laa ilaaha illa allaahu muhammad ar-rasuwl ullaah.
No god she, except God He, Muhammad the messenger, God, his.
There is no worthy power or object of admiration & emulation, except You - oh
Almighty GOD, who exists as that ultimate Power and immutable Purity and extensible
Knowledge and tremendous Mercy of redemption. Make me resemble that highly praised
one, Muhammad. Make my state like his state of service and surrender and peace, so I am
allowed to share in the station of being a messenger and servant of Almighty GOD.
