“O Allah, I ask You in the name of the Prophet, the most honored of those who engaged in intimate conversations with You, and the best of those who beseeched You, that may You shower the rain of Your Mercy and the clouds of Your sweet Pleasure on my heart making it rejoice in Your remembrance, awakening it from the slumber of forgetfulness so that it beholds none but You, remains steadfast in Your obedience and firm in piety. O You, whose Splendor Divine lends beauty to the things of this world, and whose Radiance Sublime makes these visible, favor us too with Your Mercy and grant us a light that illuminates the road tricky and winding, dispels the darkness endless and blinding, and opens up the pathways of bliss and goodness, abiding. O Allah, forgive us and our believing brethren the sins of days bygone, and grant us the ability to abide by the truth in the times ahead.”
― Shaikh Ahmad Al-'Alawi, Munajat: Intimate Supplication
