Dua: For You alone


Nice Dua I found last night in Mawlaanaa Ashraf Ali Thanawi's 'The Accepted Whispers' (Khalid Baig's translation, page 111):

(1) O Allah, for You alone is all praise.
(2) For You alone is all gratitude.
(3) Yours alone is the entire dominion.
(4) To You alone belongs the entire creation.
(5) All good is in Your hands alone.
(6) And the disposal of all matters ultimately rests in You alone.
(7) I beg You for all good
(8) And I seek protection in You from all evil.

(1) Allahumma lakal-hamdu kulluh(u),
(2) wa lakash-shukru kulluh(u),
(3) wa lakal-mulku kulluh(u),
(4) wa lakal-khalqu kulluh(u),
(5) biyadikal-khayru kulluh(u),
(6) wa ilayka yarji3ul-amru kulluh(u),
(7) as-aluka minal-khayri kullih(i),
(8) wa a3oodhu bika minash-sharri kullih(i).

It's referenced in 'The Accepted Whispers' as having been taken from [Abu Sa'eed al-Khudri. Kanz al-'Ummal #22551].
