One of two Dua's/supplications I memorised last weekend (9-11 Muharram). Rough attempt at 'tashkeeling' and translating it...
1) Allahumma-qsim lanaa
2) min khashyatika maa ta7oolu bihi bainanaa wa baina ma3aaSiyika
3) wa min Taa3atika maa tubalighunaa bihi jannataka
4) wa mina-al-yaqeeni maa tuhowwinu bihi 3alaynaa maSaa'iba-ad-dunyaa.
5) Allahumma matti3naa bi-asmaa3inaa wa abSaarinaa wa quwwaatinaa maa a7yaytanaa
6) wa-j3alhu-l-waaritha minnaa
7) wa-j3al tha'ranaa 3alaa man Dhalamanaa
8) wa-nSurnaa 3alaa man 3aadaanaa
9) wa laa taj3al muSeebatanaa fee deeninaa
10) wa laa taj3al-id-dunyaa akbara hamminaa wa laa mablagha 3ilminaa
11) wa laa tusalliT 3alaynaa man laa yar7amunaa
1) O Allah, grant us
2) fear of You such what acts as a divider between us and us disobeying You,
3) and grant us obedience to You such what helps us reach Your Paradise,
4) and grant us certainty such what makes easy for us the challenges of this world.
5) O Allah make enjoyable (?) our lives by our hearing, sight and strength/health
6) and make it (our enjoyments/perceptions/strength?) a successor (?) for us (in the next life?)
7) and take revenge/retaliation for us on those who wrong us
8) and help us over those who take us as enemies
9) and do not make our calamity/trial/misfortune/disaster in our religion
10) and do not make this world the largest of our concerns nor the extent/limit of our knowledge
11) and do not put over us in authority those who will not show us mercy.
... Love this Du'a! :)>

Karbala. Heart.
This verse...
"Say (O Muhammad (saws)): 'Whoever is an enemy to Jibraaeel (let him die in his fury), for indeed he has brought it (this Qur'an) down to your heart by Allah's Permission, confirming what came before it and guidance and glad tidings for the believers..." (2:97, translation of the meaning of course!)
.... triggered something I heard recently in the third CD of 'The Hereafter' series by Imam Anwar al-Awlaki regarding one of the earlier persons who claimed to be a Prophet. The 'revelations' he received seemed to all revolve around food and so the people said to him (paraphrased) , 'we don't know whether the angel is talking to your heart or your stomach!'
The CD also contained a phenomenal clear-headed account (maa sha Allah!) of how the door to fitan/trials was broken after the death of Umar ibn al Khattab (ra) and the events that lead to Karbala. Cannot recommend it enough.
