Supplication of the friends of God

Surah ‘Aali-‘Im-raan (The Family of ‘Imran) – Chptr – 3) 

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
(I seek refuge in God from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

وَمَا كَانَ قَوْلَهُمْ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوا۟ رَبَّنَا ٱغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسْرَافَنَا فِىٓ أَمْرِنَا وَثَبِّتْ أَقْدَامَنَاوَٱنصُرْنَا عَلَى ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ 147

  فَـَٔاتَىٰهُمُ ٱللَّهُ ثَوَابَ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَحُسْنَ ثَوَابِ ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ 148

147.  Their saying was only that they said: Our Lord! Forgive us for our sins and wasted efforts, make our foothold sure, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk. 148.  So Allah gave them the reward of the world and the good reward of the Hereafter. Allah loveth those whose deeds are good.

147.  Wa  maa  kaana  qawlahum  ‘illaaa  ‘an- qaaluu  Rabbanag-fir  lanaa  zunuubanaa  wa  ‘israa-fanaa  fiii  ‘amrinaa  wa  sabbit  ‘aqdaamanaa  wan-surnaa  ‘alal- qawmil-kaafiriin.  148.  Fa-‘aataa-humUllaahu  sa-waabad-dunyaa  wa  husna  sa-waabil- ‘Aakhirah.  Wallaahu  yuhibbul-Muhsiniin.

Commentary

      

It is being narrated about those goody people (May Allah be pleased with them), who cooperated with the Prophets and the Messengers (peace be upon them) in the Way of Allah Almighty, that they do neither evade to sacrifice their wealth, body and soul, nor show laziness, nor feel weakness, nor they are restrained, and they remain steadfast. Even then, they are not proud. They keep bowing their heads of submission and gratefulness before Allah Almighty. Their way of supplicating in the Court of Allah Almighty is very great proof of their good disposition itself.

They begged most humbly, sincerely with their hearts and respectfully, “O our Lord! ‘Ig-fir  lanaa  zunuubanaa - (conceal our sins and evil doings, put the curtain of Your Mercy on our errors and ambiguities, pardon us from our weaknesses and forgive us for our sins). ‘Israa-fanaa  fiii  ‘amrinaa  - (keep our wasted efforts secret also and forgive). Sabbit  ‘aqdaamanaa - (make our foothold sure) bestow on us steadfastness. Wan-surnaa  ‘alal- qawmil-kaafiriin - {and give us victory over the disbelieving folk, who do not believe in You, who are foe of Your Messenger (SallAllaahu alayHi wa AaliHii Wasallam) and who are enemies of Your Religion (Islam)}.

It has been ordained as a reply of the above-mentioned supplication, “WE gave such people the reward of the world and the good reward of the Hereafter. Allah loves those whose deeds are good”.
