O my Ultimate Sanctuary when troubles surround me! O my Last Hope when difficulties trouble me! Unto
Thee I turn to, before Thee I stand to get help, with Thee I take refuge, except Thee there is no refuge; I do
not seek joy after sorrow from anyone save Thee, so come to my help and free me from cares O He who
accept even the smallest (efforts) but excuses from restrictions, accept whatever little there is and release
from hardships frequently, Verily Thou art Oft-forgiving, Merciful. O Allah I ask for the faith which gives joy,
satisfaction and confidence to my heart till I am positively aware that I will not have my fill unless it has been
approved for me, and happiness will agree with me only whereby justly and fairly distributed, O the Most
Merciful. O my "means" in my troubles! O my Companion in my difficulties! O my Guardian in my happiness!
O the ultimate of my inclinations! Thou covers up my shortcomings, affords security in the event of crisis end
fearful disasters, therefore, overlook my transgressions, O the Most Merciful.
Ameer ul-Moomineen Ali Ibne Abi Taalib (A.S.) used to recite the following du'a before Iftaar:
BISMILLAAH ALLAAHUMMA LAKA S'UMNAA WA A'LAA RIZQIKA AFT'ARNAA FA-TAQABBAL MINNAA
INNAKA ANTAS SAMEE-U'L A'LEEM
In the name of Allah, O Allah, we fast, and with the food Thou gives us we break the fast, an obligation we
fulfill, and Thou art Hearer, Knower
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful, O He whose indulgence is boundless, forgive me
My Lord and your Lord is Allah, the Lord of the worlds. O Allah for us let this month
be a period of peace, faith safety and total submission to Thy will; make us walk apace swiftly to that which
Thou likes and approves. O Allah pour out much blessings on us in this month, make available for us its
generous good and assistance, and keep us safe from the harm, evil, misfortune and mischief that may try
to trap us in this month.
