35.His Supplication in Satisfaction with the Decree of God

His Supplication in Satisfaction with the Decree


His Supplication in Satisfaction when he Looked upon the Companions of this World


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 Praise belongs to God
in satisfaction with God's decision!
I bear witness that
God has apportioned the livelihoods of His servants with justice
and undertaken bounty for all His creatures.
2 O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household,
tempt me not with what Thou hast given to Thy creatures
and tempt them not with what Thou hast withheld from me.
Lest I envy Thy creatures
and despise Thy decision!

3 O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household,
delight my soul through Thy decree,
expand my breast through the instances of Thy decision,
give to me a trust through which I may admit
that Thy decree runs only to the best,
and let my gratitude to Thee
for what Thou hast taken away from me
be more abundant than my gratitude to Thee
for what Thou hast conferred upon me!
4 Preserve me from imagining any meanness
in someone who is destitute
or imagining any superiority
in someone who possesses wealth,
for the noble is he
whom obedience to Thee has ennobled
and the exalted is he
whom worship of Thee has exalted!
5 So bless Muhammad and his Household,
give us to enjoy a wealth
which does not run out,
confirm us with an exaltation
which will never be lost,
and let us roam freely
in the kingdom of everlastingness!
Surely Thou art the One, the Unique, the Eternal Refuge;
Thou hast not begotten,
nor hast Thou been begotten,
and equal to Thee is not any one!144
