SUPPLICATION OF IMAM JAWAD (A.S.)

FOR THE END OF OPPRESSION FROM THE WORLD

The honorable Sayyid Ali bin Taoos narrates this supplication from our Master, Imam Jawad (A.S.), in his book ‘Muhaj ud Da’waat’ in the following manner:

أَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ ظُلْمَ عِبادِكَ قَدْ تَمَكَّنَ في بِلادِكَ حَتَّى أَماتَ الْعَدْلَ ، وَقَطَعَ السُّبُلَ، وَمَحَقَ الْحَقَّ، وَأَبْطَلَ الصِّدْقَ، وَأَخْفَى الْبِرَّ، وَأَظْهَرَ الشَّرَّ ، وَأَخْمَدَ التَّقْوى ، وَأَزالَ الْهُدى ، وَأَزاحَ الْخَيْرَ ، وَأَثْبَتَ الضَّيْرَ ، وَأَنْمَى الْفَسادَ ، وَقَوَّى الْعِنادَ ، وَبَسَطَ الْجَوْرَ ، وَعَدَى الطَّوْرَ .  أَللَّهُمَّ يا رَبِّ لايَكْشِفُ ذلِكَ إِلّا سُلْطانُكَ ، وَلا يُجيرُ مِنْهُ إِلّاَ امْتِنانُكَ.

    أَللَّهُمَّ رَبِّ فَابْتُرِ الظُّلْمَ ، وَبُثَّ حِبالَ الْغَشْمِ ، وَأَخْمِدْ سُوقَ الْمُنْكَرِ ، وَأَعِزَّ مَنْ عَنْهُ يَنْزَجِرُ ، وَاحْصُدْ شافَةَ أَهْلِ الْجَوْرِ ، وَأَلْبِسْهُمُ الْحَوْرَ بَعْدَ الْكَوْرِ ، وَعَجِّلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْهِمُ الْبَياتَ ، وَأَنْزِلْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمُثَلاتِ ، وَأَمِتْ حَياةَ الْمُنْكَرِ لِيُؤْمَنَ الْمَخُوفُ ، وَيَسْكُنَ الْمَلْهُوفُ ، وَيَشْبَعَ الْجائِعُ ، وَيَحْفَظَ الضَّائِعُ ، وَيَأْوَى الطَّريدُ ، وَيَعُودَ الشَّريدُ ، وَيُغْنَى الْفَقيرُ ، وَيُجارَ الْمُسْتَجيرُ ، وَيُوَقَّرَ الْكَبيرُ ، وَيُرْحَمَ الصَّغيرُ ، وَيُعَزَّ الْمَظْلُومُ ، وَيُذَلَّ الظَّالِمُ ، وَيُفَرَّجَ الْمَغْمُومُ ، وَتَنْفَرِجَ الْغَمَّاءُ ، وَتَسْكُنَ الدَّهْماءُ ، وَيَمُوتَ الْإِخْتِلافُ ، وَيَعْلُوَ الْعِلْمُ ، وَيَشْمَلَ السِّلْمُ ، وَيُجْمَعَ الشَّتاتُ ، وَيَقْوَى الْإيمانُ ، وَيُتْلَى الْقُرْآنُ ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الدَّيَّانُ الْمُنْعِمُ الْمَنَّانُ .

            “O’ Allah, indeed the oppression of Your slaves has strengthened and established on Your lands resulting in the removal of justice, and the disconnection from the paths of guidance, and the evasion of the right, and the abandonment of the truth, and the concealment of the good, and the evidence of the evil, and the extinguishment of piety, and the removal of guidance, and the end of benefits and nobility, and the firmament of deviation from truth, and the growth of corruption, and the strengthening of hostility, and the spreading of oppression, and the trespassing of boundaries. O’ Allah, O’ my Lord, none can end it but Your power and dominance, none can deliver men from it except for Your grace and favor. O’ Allah, my Lord, uproot the transgression, and rip the ropes of oppression into pieces, and make the markets of mischief and wrongdoings stagnant, and dignify those who dislike them, and pull the foundations of the tyrants from its root, and make them face loss and defeat after their luxuries, and hasten O’ Allah in attacking them while they unaware, and send Your wrath upon them, and put the evildoers and corrupted ones to death, so that those who fear them feel at peace, and the sorrowful and saddened men feel relieved, and the hungry is filled, and those things that are on the verge of destruction are saved, and the evaders gain shelter, and the vagrants return, and the poor become rich, and the seekers of peace attain it, and the old men are honored, and the infants are pitied, and the oppressed gain dignity, and the oppressors become humiliated, and the sorrowful are relieved, and the difficulties are solved, and the mutinies are calmed, and the differences end, and knowledge gains elevation, and peace and harmony becomes widespread, and conflicts and diversities turn into unity, and faith is strengthened, and the Holy Qur’an is recited, indeed You are the remunerator, the Sustainer, and the Graceful. ^[1] `
