دُعَاءُ الإِمَامِ الحَدَّادِ

By Imam al-Haddad

Arabic text

اللَّهُمَّ أَخْرِجْ مِنْ قَلْبِي كُلَّ قَدْرٍ لِلدُّنْيَا
وَكُلَّ مَحَلٍّ لِلْخَلْقِ
يَمِيلُ بِي إِلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ
أَوْ يَشْغَلُنِي عَنْ طَاعَتِكَ
أَوْ يَحُولُ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ التَّحَقُّقِ بِمَعْرِفَتِكَ الْخَاصَّةِ
وَمَحَبَّتِكَ الْخَالِصَةِ
وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Transliteration

Allāhumma akhrij min qalbī kulla qadrin lid-dunyā
Wa kulla maḥallin lil-khalqi
Yamīlu bī ilā maʿṣiyatika
Aw yashghalunī ʿan ṭāʿatika
Aw yaḥūlu baynī wa bayna at-taḥaqquqi bi-maʿrifatika al-khāṣṣati
Wa maḥabbatika al-khāliṣati
Wa ṣallā Allāhu ʿalā sayyidinā Muḥammadin wa ʿalā ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa sallama
Wal-ḥamdu lillāhi Rabbi al-ʿālamīna

English translation

O Allah, remove from my heart every attachment to this worldly life,
and every place within it for created beings
that might incline me toward disobedience to You,
or distract me from obedience to You,
or come between me and attaining true, intimate knowledge of You
and pure love for You.

And may Allah send blessings and peace upon our master Muhammad, and upon his family and companions.
And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
