My Lord, the uninterrupted flow of Your graciousness have distracted me from thanking You! The flood of Your bounty has rendered me incapable of counting Your praises! The succession of Your kind acts has diverted me from mentioning You in laudation! The continuous rush of Your benefits has thwarted me from spreading the news of Your gentle favors! This is the station of him who confesses to the lavishness of Your favors, meets them with shortcomings, and witnesses to his own disregard and negligence. You art the Clement, the Compassionate, the Good, the Generous, who does not disappoint those who aim for Him, nor cast out from His courtyard those who expect from Him! In Your yard are put down the saddlebags of the hopeful and in Your plain stand the hopes of the help-seekers! So meet not our hopes by disappointing and disheartening and clothe us not in the shirt of despair and despondency.
O the Provider of bounties, my thanksgiving is small before Your great blessing, and my praise and news-spreading shrink beside Your generosity toward me! Your favors have wrapped me in the robes of the lights of faith, and the gentleness of Your goodness have let down over me delicate curtains of might! Your kindnesses have collared me with collars not to be moved and adorned me with neck-rings not to be broken! Your boons are abundant - my tongue is too weak to count them! Your favors are many - my understanding falls short of grasping them, not to speak of exhausting them! So how can I achieve thanksgiving?
My Lord, as You have fed us through Your gentleness and nurtured us through Your benefaction, so also complete for us lavish favors, repel from us detested acts of vengeance.
To You belongs praise for Your good trial and the lavishness of Your favors, a praise conforming to Your good pleasure and attracting Your great goodness and magnanimity. O Almighty, O All Generous! By Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful
This site is dedicated to my Father and my Mother, who brought me up enduring extraordinary hardship and patience, by the will of Allah (Subhana wa Ta’ala). May Allah (SWT) bless them with mercy now and in the hereafter.
