#mabath #Rajab27
As is mentioned in ‘Iqbal al-A`mal’ and some manuscripts of ‘Misbah al-Mutahajjid’, it is recommended to recite the following supplication on this day: This supplication, which is one of the excellent supplications of Rajab, was recited by Imam Musa ibn Ja`far al-Kazim (a.s) on the day when the ruling authorities took him to Baghdad. That day was the twenty-seventh of Rajab
O He Who has ordered us to forgive and overlook

and has taken upon Himself to forgive and overlook!

O He Who did forgive and overlook:

(please do) forgive me and overlook (my evildoings) O the All-generous.

O Allah: surely, all requests have been rejected,

and all means and ways have been inaccessible,

and all hopes have been eradicated,

and all expectations have been cut off from everybody save You

alone, there is no partner with You.

O Allah: I find the ways to requesting from You wide open,

and springs of hoping for You quenching,

and doors of supplication unlocked for him who implores You,

and Your aid available for those who seek it.

I also know that You are in the position of response for him who beseeches You,

and in the position of relief for him who resorts to You,

and that hastening to Your magnanimity and the reliance upon Your promise

compensate from the stinginess of the misery ones

and suffice from that which is grasped by the mean ones.

And [I know for sure] that You never screen Yourself against Your beings

but it is their evildoings that prevent them from journeying toward You.

I have also known for sure that the best provisions of his who intends to travel to You is a true willpower by which He chooses You among others.

Hence, my heart has called at You with full willpower;

and I pray You in the name of all supplications said by a hopeful and thus You have achieved his hope,

or said by a seeker of aid and thus You have admitted his request,

or said by an aggrieved, depressed one and thus You have relieved him,

or said by a guilty sinner and thus You have forgiven him,

or said by a healthy one and thus You have perfected Your favors on him,

or said by a poor one and thus You have conferred upon him with Your wealth,

and that these supplications occupy a considerable position with You and enjoy a standing with You—

I pray You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad

and to settle all my needs for this world and the Next World.

This is Rajab, the honored and dignified month,

which You have honored us through it, being the first of the Sacred Months,

and You have selected us for this honor among the other nations.

O the Lord of Magnanimity and Generosity.

I thus beseech You by Your Name, the grandest, the grandest, the grandest,

the most majestic, the most honorable,

that You have created so that it has settled under Your Shadow

and it thus shall never transfer to anyone other than You—

I beseech You to send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household, the immaculate,

and to include us, during this month, with those who practice acts of obedience to You

and those who hope for Your admission.

O Allah: (please do) lead us to the Right Path,

and choose for us the best resting-place with You, under a dense shade

and abundant possession. Surely, You are Sufficient for us! Most Excellent are You, and in You do we trust!

Peace be upon His servants, the chosen,

and His blessings be upon them all.

O Allah: (please do) bless us on this day that You have honored,

and covered with Your nobility,

and implanted in the great and highest Dwelling.

(Please do) send blessings upon him whom You sent (as Your Messenger) to Your servants

and whom You accommodated in the Noble Place.

O Allah: send upon him blessing that is never-ending being in the form of thanks to You

and reward to us.

And make easy for us all our affairs;

and make our end result up to the last of our lives pleasant

after You accept our little deed

and achieve for us all our hopes out of Your mercy.

Verily, You have power over all things.

May Allah bless and exalt Muhammad and his Household.
