SUPPLICATION FOR HIM (peace be on him)

IN A SPECIFIED TIME

It was written in "Miftaahul Falah" that the supplication is recited in a specified time, which is when the sun is in yellowish, which is prior to the sunset.

  أَللَّهُمَّ يا خالِقَ السَّقْفِ الْمَرْفُوعِ ، وَالْمِهادِ الْمَوْضُوعِ ، وَرازِقَ الْعاصي وَالْمُطيعِ ، اَلَّذي لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْ دُونِهِ وَلِيٌّ وَلا شَفيعٌ .

    أَسْأَلُكَ بَأَسْمائِكَ الَّتي إِذا سُمِّيَتْ عَلى طَوارِقِ الْعُسْرِ عادَتْ يُسْراً ، وَإِذا وُضِعَتْ عَلَى الْجِبالِ كانَتْ هَباءً مَنْثُوراً ، وَإِذا رُفِعَتْ إِلَى السَّماءِ تَفَتَّحَتْ لَهَا الْمَغالِقُ ، وَإِذا هُبِطَتْ إِلى ظُلُماتِ الْأَرْضِ اتَّسَعَتْ لَهَا الْمَضائِقُ . وَإِذا دُعِيَتْ بِهَا الْمَوْتَى انْتَشَرَتْ مِنَ اللُّحُودِ ، وَإِذا نُودِيَتْ بِهَا الْمَعْدُوماتُ خَرَجَتْ إِلَى الْوُجُودِ ، وَإِذا ذُكِرَتْ عَلَى الْقُلُوبِ وَجِلَتْ خُشُوعاً ، وَإِذا قُرِعَتِ الْأَسْماعُ فاضَتِ الْعُيُونُ دُمُوعاً .

    أَسْأَلُكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِكَ الْمُؤَيَّدِ بِالْمُعْجِزاتِ ، اَلْمَبْعُوثِ بِمُحْكَمِ الْاياتِ ، وَبِأَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبي طالِبٍ ، اَلَّذِي اخْتَرْتَهُ لِمُؤاخاتِهِ وَوَصِيَّتِهِ ، وَاصْطَفَيْتَهُ لِمُصافاتِهِ وَمُصاهَرَتِهِ .

    وَبِصاحِبِ الزَّمانِ الْمَهْدِيِّ ، اَلَّذي تَجْمَعُ عَلى طاعَتِهِ الْآراءَ الْمُتَفَرِّقَةَ ، وَتُؤَلِّفُ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْأَهْواءِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ ، وَتَسْتَخْلِصُ بِهِ حُقُوقَ أَوْلِيائِكَ ، وَتَنْتَقِمُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ أَعْدائِكَ ، وَتَمْلَأُ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلاً وَإِحْساناً ، وَتُوَسِّعُ عَلَى الْعِبادِ بِظُهُورِهِ فَضْلاً وَامْتِناناً ، وَتُعيدُ الْحَقَّ إِلى مَكانِهِ عَزيزاً حَميداً ، وَتُرْجِعُ الدّينَ عَلى يَدَيْهِ غَضّاً جَديداً ، أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، فَقَدِ اسْتَشْفَعْتُ بِهِمْ إِلَيْكَ ، وَقَدَّمْتُهُمْ أَمامي وَبَيْنَ يَدَيْ حَوائِجي .

    وَأَنْ تُوزِعَني شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ ، فِي التَّوْفيقِ لِمَعْرِفَتِهِ ، وَالْهِدايَةِ إِلى طاعَتِهِ ، وَتَزيدَني قُوَّةً فِي التَّمَسُّكِ بِعِصْمَتِهِ وَالْإِقْتِداءِ بِسُنَّتِهِ ، وَالْكَوْنِ في زُمْرَتِهِ ، إِنَّكَ سَميعُ الدُّعاءِ ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .

O' Allah, O' the creator of the elevated roof and the unmovable flat land, the provider of subsistence
 to the disobedient and the obedient ones who has no other guardian and mediator besides Him.

I requested from You by Your name when mentioned on difficult means it turns it to ease, when it was place on the mountain it becomes like a scattered dust, when it was raised to the Heaven it open all the locks, when it was descend to the darkness of the Earth it expand its tightness, when it was supplicated for a death he would be resurrected from his grave, it brings to existence when call with it for the none existence, the heart becomes scared out of submissiveness when it was mentioned to it,  and the eyes overflow tears when it sounds to the ears.

I asked You by the sake of Your supported Messenger with miracles, who was sent with coherent signs, and by the sake of the commander of the faithful Ali son of Abi Talib, whom You have chosen as his brother, his trustee, and has selected him as his equivalent and relation in marriage.

And by the sake of the leader of the time Al-Mahdi, whom different views shall combine to follow, and shall join between various minds, through him the rights of Your intimate friends shall be extracted, through him You shall retaliate the evils of Your enemies and fill the Earth with good and justice through him, with his  reappearance You shall expand the servant's favour and    gratefulness. And return the fact to its  place   with   honoured  and   praised   and   shall  return  the  Religion as new through his hand, send blessing on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, I am seeking intercession through them before You, I presented them as intermediary for my demands before You, to grant me the gratification of Your bounties, and grant me success of knowing him and the guidance to his obedience, increase my strength to attached with his infallibility and following his customs, and make me among his group, indeed You hear all the calls with Your mercy, O' the Most Merciful of the merciful.^[1]

Allama Khwajo’ei mentions in his ‘Taleeqa’ that:

            The line where he says:

الذی تجمع علی طاعتہ الآراء المختلفۃ

“You will gather the different viewpoints on the point of his obedience”;

it implicates that in his time of prevailing and mighty governance, the viewpoints and perspectives will not differ from each other and will unify to such an extent that every word and opinion will gather on the path of his obedience.

            The Imam of Time (A.S.), will be a commander who will be totally accepted by everyone helping each group to attain its right, Khums will be spend on the right place; Zakaat, spoils, charities, fines, Qisas, and all the other rules will be performed righteously and will reach their intended motive.

            Fidak will be returned to its actual owners and revenge shall be taken from all the enemies of Allah in favor of His friends, irrespective of those who are alive or the dead ones; as they will be resurrected to avenge their enemies.

            The evidence on the point that we made is the set of narrations which have arrived with relevance to these topics specifically.

            One of those narrations is the narration which states that soon Allah will return a group of people to this world, at the time of the reappearance of Imam Mahdi (A.S.), who will be a part of those Shias who possessed true faith and have passed away. The purpose of their return will be the attainment of the reward of supporting and aiding Imam Mahdi (A.S.), as well as the happiness they will gain by witnessing the establishment of Imam’s government.

            Moreover, the group of people who were absolute infidels will be brought back to the world so that they are avenged, and the part of their punishment and entanglements which they deserved to face, i.e. being killed by the hands of the Shias, will be given to them. Also, they will be humiliated and disgraced by witnessing the powerful governance of his holiness (A.S.).

            At that noble time, justice, equality and nobility will spread throughout the east and west of the world, just like Allah has defined its occurrence in the holy Quran.

            Similarly, the divine servants will become mightier and have a fair livelihood, and they will be provided will all that is necessary for them in this material world and for the hereafter.

            In those days, truth and righteousness will reach its appropriate and valuable position, and the glorious laws of Islam would be re-established and revived after their destruction. In this way, Muslims will accept a fresh Islam and the kingdom of the Earth will totally be in the hands of the divine representatives. How good shall those days be and how good shall be those people!

            O’ Allah, hasten in his appearance, and make the act of his rising easy. And make us one of those who will gather under the shadow of his governance, and will be fortunate enough to witness him; and will fight for him in front of him, killing his enemies and getting killed for him, so that his command attains elevation and his rule becomes powerful, for the sake of Mohammad and his holy Progeny, may Allah bless each one of them. ^[2]
