Powerpoint
As is mentioned in ‘Iqbal al-A`mal’ and some manuscripts of ‘Misbah al-Mutahajjid’, it is recommended to recite the following supplication on this day: This supplication, which is one of the excellent supplications of Rajab, was recited by Imam Musa ibn Ja`far al-Kazim (a.s) on the day when the ruling authorities took him to Baghdad. That day was the twenty-seventh of Rajab

يَا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِالْعَفْوِ وَالتَّجَاوُزِ،
ya man amara bil`afui wal-ttjauuzi
O He Who has ordered us to forgive and overlook

وَضَمَّنَ نَفْسَهُ الْعَفْوَ وَالتَّجَاوُزَ،
wa dammana nafsahu al`afwa wal-ttjauuza
and has taken upon Himself to forgive and overlook!

يَا مَنْ عَفَا وَتَجَاوَزَ
ya man `afa wa tajawaza
O He Who did forgive and overlook:

اعْفُ عَنِّي وَتَجَاوَزْ يَا كَرِيمُ.
i`fu `anni wa tajawaz ya karimu
(please do) forgive me and overlook (my evildoings) O the All-generous.

اللّهُمَّ وَقَدْ أَكْدَى الطَّلَبُ،
allahumma wa qad akda alttalabu
O Allah: surely, all requests have been rejected,

وَأَعْيَتِ الْحِيلَةُ وَالْمَذْهَبُ،
wa a`iyati alhilatu wal-madhhabu
and all means and ways have been inaccessible,

وَدَرَسَتِ الآمَالُ،
wa darasati alamalu
and all hopes have been eradicated,

وَانْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ إلاَّ مِنْكَ
wanqata`a alrraja‘u illa minka
and all expectations have been cut off from everybody save You

وَحْدَكَ لا شَرِيكَ لَكَ.
wahdaka la sharika laka
alone, there is no partner with You.

اللّهُمَّ إنِّي أَجِدُ سُبُلَ الْمَطَالِبِ إلَيْكَ مُشْرَعَةً،
allahumma inni ajidu subula almatalibi ilayka mushra`atan
O Allah: I find the ways to requesting from You wide open,

وَمَنَاهِلَ الرَّجَاءِ لَدَيْكَ مُتْرَعَةً،
wa manahila alrraja‘i ladayka mutra`atan
and springs of hoping for You quenching,

وَأَبْوَابَ الدُّعَاءِ لِمَنْ دَعَاكَ مُفَتَّحَةً،
wa abwaba aldd`a‘i liman da`aka mufatthatan
and doors of supplication unlocked for him who implores You,

وَالاسْتِعَانَةَ لِمَنِ اسْتَعَانَ بِكَ مُبَاحَةً،
wal-asti`anata limani asta`ana bika mubahatan
and Your aid available for those who seek it.

وَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ لِدَاعِيكَ بِمَوْضِعِ إجَابَةٍ،
wa a`lamu annka lida`ika bimawdi`i ijabatin
I also know that You are in the position of response for him who beseeches You,

وَلِلصَّارِخِ إلَيْكَ بِمَرْصَدِ إغَاثَةٍ،
wa lilssarikhi ilayka bimarsadi ighathatin
and in the position of relief for him who resorts to You,

وَأَنَّ فِي اللَّهْفِ إلَى جُودِكَ وَالضَّمَانِ بِعِدَتِكَ
wa ann fi allahfi ila judika wal-zamani bi`idatika
and that hastening to Your magnanimity and the reliance upon Your promise

عِوَضاً مِنْ مَنْعِ الْبَاخِلِينَ
`iwadan min man`i albakhilina
compensate from the stinginess of the misery ones

وَمَنْدُوحَةً عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي الْمُسْتَأْثِرِينَ،
wa manduhatan `amma fi aydy almustathirina
and suffice from that which is grasped by the mean ones.

وَأَنَّكَ لا تَحْتَجِبُ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ
wa annka la tahtajibu `an khalqika
And [I know for sure] that You never screen Yourself against Your beings

إلاَّ أَنْ تَحْجُبَهُمُ الأَعْمَالُ دُونَكَ،
illa an tahjubahumu ala`malu dunaka
but it is their evildoings that prevent them from journeying toward You.

وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَفْضَلَ زَادِ الرَّاحِلِ إلَيْكَ عَزْمُ إرَادَةٍ يَخْتَارُكَ بِهَا
wa qad `alimtu ann afdala zadi alrrahili ilayka `azmu iradatin
I have also known for sure that the best provisions of his who intends to travel to You is a true willpower by which He chooses You among others.

وَقَدْ نَاجَاكَ بِعَزْمِ الإرَادَةِ قَلْبِي،
yakhtaruka biha wa qad najaka bi`azmi aliradati qalbi
Hence, my heart has called at You with full willpower;

وَأَسْأَلُك بِكُلِّ دَعْوَةٍ دَعَاكَ بِهَا رَاجٍ بَلَّغْتَهُ أَمَلَهُ،
wa as-aluka bikull da`watin da`aka biha rajin ballghtahu amalahu
and I pray You in the name of all supplications said by a hopeful and thus You have achieved his hope,

أَوْ صَارِخٌ إلَيْكَ أَغَثْتَ صَرْخَتَهُ،
aw sarikhun ilayka aghathta sarkhatahu
or said by a seeker of aid and thus You have admitted his request,

أَوْ مَلْهُوفٌ مَكْرُوبٌ فَرَّجْتَ كَرْبَهُ،
aw malhufun makrubun farrjta karbahu
or said by an aggrieved, depressed one and thus You have relieved him,

أَوْ مُذْنِبٌ خَاطِئٌ غَفَرْتَ لَهُ،
aw mudhnibun khatiiun ghafarta lahu
or said by a guilty sinner and thus You have forgiven him,

أَوْ مُعَافَىً أَتْمَمْتَ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيْهِ،
aw mu`afan atmamta ni`mataka `alayhi
or said by a healthy one and thus You have perfected Your favors on him,

أَوْ فَقِيرٌ أَهْدَيْتَ غِنَاكَ إلَيْهِ،
aw faqirun ahdayta ghinaka ilayhi
or said by a poor one and thus You have conferred upon him with Your wealth,

وَلِتِلْكَ الدَّعْوَةِ عَلَيْكَ حَقٌّ وَعِنْدَكَ مَنْزِلَةٌ
wa litilka aldd`wati `alayka haqq wa `indaka manzilatun
and that these supplications occupy a considerable position with You and enjoy a standing with You—

إلاَّ صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
illa sallayta `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
I pray You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad

وَقَضَيْتَ حَوَائِجِي حَوَائِجَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ،
wa qadayta hawa’ijy hawa’ija alddunya wal-akhirati
and to settle all my needs for this world and the Next World.
