SUPPLICATION FOR THE ADVENT OF HIS HOLINESS (A.S.) ON FRIDAY, EID UL FITR AND EID UL QURBAAN

It has been narrated from Imam Mohammad Baqir (A.S.) that:

            On the days of Friday, Eid ul Fitr and Qurbaan, while exiting your house, say:

أَللَّهُمَّ مَنْ تَهَيَّأَ في هذَا الْيَوْمِ ، أَوْ تَعَبَّأَ أَوْ أَعَدَّ وَاسْتَعَدَّ لِوِفادَةٍ إِلى مَخْلُوقٍ ، رَجاءَ رِفْدِهِ وَجائِزَتِهِ وَنَوافِلِهِ ، فَإِلَيْكَ يا سَيِّدي كانَتْ وِفادَتي وَتَهْيِئَتي وَ إِعْدادي وَاسْتِعْدادي رَجاءَ رِفْدِكَ ، وَجَوائِزِكَ وَنَوافِلِكَ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ وَخِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، وَعَلِيٍّ أَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ وَوَصِيِّ رَسُولِكَ ، وَصَلِّ يا رَبِّ عَلى أَئِمَّةِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ ، اَلْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ وَعَلِيٍّ وَمُحَمَّدٍ ،

   O’ Allah, whoever prepares himself or makes himself available on this day for meeting one of Your creations with the hope of reward, grace and blessings from him, then O’ my Master, my departure and preparation and availability and presence towards you is with the hope of Your rewards and forgiveness. O’ Allah, bless Your slave, Your messenger, the chosen one from Your worshippers, Mohammad (peace be upon him), and Ali (A.S.) and the successors of Your Prophet, and O’ Allah, bless the leaders of the faithful, Imam Hasan, Imam Husain, Imam Sajjad and Imam Baqir –

then take the names of all the Imams in sequence until you reach the name of Imam Mahdi (A.S.), then say

  أَللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لَهُ فَتْحاً يَسيراً ، وَانْصُرْهُ نَصْراً عَزيزاً . أَللَّهُمَّ أَظْهِرْ بِهِ دينَكَ وَسُنَّةَ رَسُولِكَ ، حَتَّى لايَسْتَخْفِيَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَخافَةَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ في دَوْلَةٍ كَريمَةٍ تُعِزُّ بِهَا الْإِسْلامَ وَأَهْلَهُ ، وَتُذِلُّ بِهَا النِّفاقَ وَأَهْلَهُ ، وَتَجْعَلُنا فيها مِنَ الدُّعاةِ إِلى طاعَتِكَ وَالْقادَةِ إِلى سَبيلِكَ ، وَتَرْزُقُنا بِها كَرامَةَ الدُّنْيا وَالْآخِرَةِ . أَللَّهُمَّ ما أَنْكَرْنا مِنْ حَقٍّ فَعَرِّفْناهُ ، وَما قَصُرْنا عَنْهُ فَبَلِّغْناهُ .

            O’ Allah, provide him with easy relief, and support him with dignified support. O’ Allah, make Your religion and Your Prophet’s tradition apparent through him so that no right is concealed due to the fear of anyone. O’ Allah, we turn towards You with eagerness towards the noble nation through which You shall glorify Islam and the Muslims, and humiliate hypocrisy and the hypocrites; and regard us in that nation as the inviters towards Your obedience and as the leader towards Your path, and make the honor of this world and the hereafter our share. O’ Allah, make us aware of those truth and realities which we did not recognize, and provide us with all that to which we couldn’t have access.

            Here, pray for the Master of Time (peace be upon him), and curse his enemies. Then ask for your wishes and recite your last verses in the following manner:

 أَللَّهُمَّ اسْتَجِبْ لَنا ، أَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنا مِمَّنْ تَذَكَّرَ فيهِ فَيَذَّكَّرَ .

            O’ Allah, accept (our prayers) for us; O’ Lord, regard us among the reminders and the reminded ones.[1]
