ANOTHER SUPPLICATION OF IMAM JAWAD (A.S.) IN QUNUT

أَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ بِلا أَوَّلِيَّةٍ مَعْدُودَةٍ ، وَالْآخِرُ بِلا آخِرِيَّةٍ مَحْدُودَةٍ ، أَنْشَأْتَنا لا لِعِلَّةٍ اقْتِساراً ، وَاخْتَرَعْتَنا لا لِحاجَةٍ اقْتِداراً ، وَابْتَدَعْتَنا بِحِكْمَتِكَ اخْتِياراً ، وَبَلَوْتَنا بِأَمْرِكَ وَنَهْيِكَ اخْتِباراً.

    وَأَيَّدْتَنا بِالْآلاتِ ، وَمَنَحْتَنا بِالْأَدَواتِ ، وَكَلَّفْتَنا الطَّاقَةَ ، وَجَشَّمْتَنا الطَّاعَةَ ، فَأَمَرْتَ تَخْييراً ، وَنَهَيْتَ تَحْذيراً ، وَخَوَّلْتَ كَثيراً ، وَسَأَلْتَ يَسيراً ، فَعُصِيَ أَمْرُكَ فَحَلُمْتَ ، وَجُهِلَ قَدْرُكَ فَتَكَرَّمْتَ.

    فَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ وَالْبَهاءِ ، وَالْعَظَمَةِ وَالْكِبْرِياءِ ، وَالْإِحْسانِ وَالنَّعْماءِ ، وَالْمَنِّ وَالْآلاءِ ، وَالْمِنَحِ وَالْعَطاءِ ، وَالْإِنْجازِ وَالْوَفاءِ ، وَلاتُحيطُ الْقُلُوبُ لَكَ بِكُنْهٍ ، وَلاتُدْرِكُ الْأَوْهامُ لَكَ صِفَةً ، وَلايُشَبِّهُكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَلايُمَثَّلُ بِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ صَنْعَتِكَ .

    تَبارَكْتَ أَنْ تُحَسَّ أَوْ تُمَسَّ أَوْ تُدْرِكَكَ الْحَواسُّ الْخَمْسُ ، وَأَنَّى يُدْرِكُ مَخْلُوقٌ خالِقَهُ ، وَتَعالَيْتَ يا إِلهي عَمَّا يَقُولُ الظَّالِمُونَ عُلُوّاً كَبيراً .

    أَللَّهُمَّ أَدِلْ لِأَوْلِيائِكَ مِنْ أَعْدائِكَ الظَّالِمينَ الْباغينَ النَّاكِثينَ الْقاسِطينَ الْمارِقينَ ، اَلَّذينَ أَضَلُّوا عِبادَكَ ، وَحَرَّفُوا كِتابَكَ ، وَبَدَّلُوا أَحْكامَكَ ، وَجَحَدُوا حَقَّكَ ، وَجَلَسُوا مَجالِسَ أَوْلِيائِكَ ، جُرْأَةً مِنْهُمْ عَلَيْكَ ، وَظُلْماً مِنْهُمْ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ ، عَلَيْهِمْ سَلامُكَ وَصَلَواتُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ وَبَرَكاتُكَ ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا خَلْقَكَ ، وَهَتَكُوا حِجابَ سِتْرِكَ عَنْ عِبادِكَ .

    وَاتَّخَذُوا اللَّهُمَّ مالَكَ دُوَلاً ، وَعِبادَكَ خَوَلاً ، وَتَرَكُوا اللَّهُمَّ عالِمَ أَرْضِكَ في بَكْماءَ عَمْياءَ ظَلْماءَ مُدْلَهِمَّةً ، فَأَعْيُنُهُمْ مَفْتُوحَةٌ ، وَقُلُوبُهُمْ عَمِيَّةٌ ، وَلَمْ تُبْقِ لَهُمُ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حُجَّةٍ ، لَقَدْ حَذَّرْتَ اللَّهُمَّ عَذابَكَ ، وَبَيَّنْتَ نَكالَكَ ، وَوَعَدْتَ الْمُطيعينَ إِحْسانَكَ ، وَقَدَّمْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالنُّذُرِ فَآمَنَتْ طائِفَةٌ.

    فَأَيِّدِ اللَّهُمَّ الَّذينَ آمَنُوا عَلى عَدُوِّكَ وَعَدُوِّ أَوْلِيائِكَ ، فَأَصْبَحُوا ظاهِرينَ ، وَ إِلَى الْحَقِّ داعينَ ، وَلِلْإِمامِ الْمُنْتَظَرِ الْقائِمِ بِالْقِسْطِ تابِعينَ ، وَجَدِّدِ اللَّهُمَّ عَلى أَعْدائِكَ وَأَعْدائِهِمْ نارَكَ وَعَذابَكَ ، اَلَّذي لاتَدْفَعُهُ عَنِ الْقَومِ الظَّالِمينَ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَقَوِّ ضَعْفَ الْمُخْلِصينَ لَكَ بِالْمَحَبَّةِ ، اَلْمُشايِعينَ لَنا بِالْمُوالاةِ ، اَلْمُتَّبِعينَ لَنا بِالتَّصْديقِ وَالْعَمَلِ ، اَلْمُوازِرينَ لَنا بِالْمُواساةِ فينا ، اَلْمُحِبّينَ ذِكْرَنا عِنْدَ اجْتِماعِهِمْ .

    وَشَدِّدِ اللَّهُمَّ رُكْنَهُمْ ، وَسَدِّدِ اللَّهُمَّ لَهُمْ دينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَيْتَهُ لَهُمْ ، وَأَتْمِمْ عَلَيْهِمْ نِعْمَتَكَ ، وَخَلِّصْهُمْ وَاسْتَخْلِصْهُمْ ، وَسُدَّ اللَّهُمَّ فَقْرَهُمْ ، وَالْمُمِ اللَّهُمَّ شَعَثَ فاقَتِهِمْ ، وَاغْفِرِ اللَّهُمَّ ذُنُوبَهُمْ وَخَطاياهُمْ ، وَلاتُزِغْ قُلُوبَهُمْ بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَهُمْ ، وَلاتُخِلِّهِمْ أَيْ رَبِّ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِمْ .

    وَاحْفَظْ لَهُمْ مامَنَحْتَهُمْ بِهِ مِنَ الطَّهارَةِ بِوِلايَةِ أَوْلِيائِكَ ، وَالْبَرائَةِ مِنْ أَعْدائِكَ ، إِنَّكَ سَميعٌ مُجيبٌ ، وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ الطَّيِّبينَ الطَّاهِرينَ .

“O’ Allah, Your are the First but Your precedence is not in quantity, and You are the Last but Your end has not limits, You created us but were not forced or compelled, Your brought us into being with power and ability but were needless, You caused our appearance with Your wisdom and will, and examined us with Your commands and preventions, You provided us means of success and blessed us with different apparatuses, made us obligated according to our ability, and made Your obedience mandatory on us, You commanded us but gave us the free will for obedience, and You warned us and prevented us, gave us enormous bounties but asked for little in return, Your command was disobeyed but You endured, Your position was ignored but You remained beneficent, thus You are the Master and the Holder of dignity and mightiness, greatness and loftiness, graciousness and benevolence, kindness and mercifulness, You faithful to Your promise and loyalty, our hearts cannot access Your reality and origin, ideas and thoughts cannot understand Your attributes, none of Your creations is similar to You, and none of Your inventions can be alike You, You are so great that You cannot be sensed, nor touched, nor contacted by the five senses, and how can a creation attain its creator? O’ Allah, You are much mightier and loftier than what the transgressors say. O’ Allah, give dominance and victory to Your friends over Your enemies, the oppressors, the transgressors, the oath-breakers, the tyrants and the outlaws, those enemies who misguide Your slaves, distort Your book, alter Your rules, deny Your right, crowd the sittings of Your friends with absolute audaciousness and mischief, and performed this in order to oppress the Holy Progeny of Your Prophet (may Allah send His peace, mercy and blessings upon them). With this act, they proved their misguidance, misguided the people, and tore the veils of Your sanctity from Your slaves. O’ Allah, these disgraceful enemies took Your assets as their own possession, and made Your slaves and maids as their own. O’ Allah, they ignored the knowers and scholars of Your land in a state of dumbness, deafness, darkness and corruption. In this way, such a situation came into being that their eyes were open and they could gaze but their hearts went blind. O’ Allah, there isn’t any proof that you haven’t made apparent for them, You frightened them of Your punishment and warned them of Your reprimand, and promised the obedient ones Your good, and sent forth Your precursors towards them and warned them of Your punishment. Thus, O’ Allah, assist the believers against Your enemies and the enemies of Your noble ones, so that they dominate and overcome them, and be the inviters towards truth, and be the followers of the awaited Imam who will rise and establish truth and justice in the world. O’ Allah, keep on freshening the Hellfire and Your punishment, which You shall not distance from the transgressors, upon Your enemies and the enemies of the Holy Progeny (A.S.). O’ Allah, send peace upon Mohammad and His Holy Progeny and strengthen the weakness of Your devotees with love, those devotees who follow us with their affection and love, who obey us by approving us both verbally and by their actions, those who assist us by equality and friendship with each other for our sake, and they love to remember us whenever they meet. O’ Allah, strengthen their pillars, and O’ Allah, fortify the religion You chose for them and complete Your bounties upon them, and purify them, and elevate them. O’ Allah, fulfil their needs and give them a nice compensation of their helplessness and difficulties of poverty, and forgive their sins and mistakes, and do not deviate their hearts after guiding them, and O’ Master, do not leave them alone due to their wrongdoings, and protect the purity which they achieved as a result of their love for us (the Holy Progeny) and their hostility against our enemies, certainly You are the hearer and answerer. And send mercy upon Mohammad and His purified Holy Progeny (peace be upon them)”. [1]
