The Whispered Prayer of the Rememberers

In the Name of ALLAH, the All-compassionate

the All-merciful

BIS-MIL-LAAHIR-RAH'-MAANIR-RAH'EEM

O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, ALLAHUMMA S'ALE A'LAA MUHAMMAD WA AALE MUHAMMAD

My God, were it not incumbent for me to obey your command, I would have declared you far too grand for me to remember you,

ILAAHEE LAW-LAAL-WAAJIBU MIN QABOOLI AM-RIKA LANAZ-ZAH-TUKA MIN D'IK-REEE EE-YAAKA

For when I remember you I do so in my (small) measure, not in the (glorious)measure that you deserve

A'LAAA AN-NA D'IK-REE LAKA BIQAD-REE LAA BIQAD-RIK

and my limited capacity makes it difficult for me to comprehend the depth of your dignified and holy names

WA MAA A'SAAA AY-YAB-LUGHA MIQ-DAAREE H'AT-TAAA AJ-A'LA MAH'AL-LAL-LITAQ-DEESIK

And amongst your greatest favors on me is-

WA MIN AA'-Z'AMIN-NIA'MI A'LAY-NAA

Giving me the ability and permission to recite your holy remembrance across my tongue

JARAYAANU D'IK-RIKA A'LAAA AL-SINATINA

and giving me permission to supplicate to you, and to glorify you and to call you holy!

WA ID'-NUKA LANAA BIDUA'AA-IKA WA TANZEEHIKA WA TAS-BEEH'IK

My God, inspire me with your remembrance

ILAAHEE FAAL-HIM-NAA D'IK-RAK

When I am alone and also when I am in public,

FEEL-KHALAAA-I WAL-MALAAA*-*

And by night and day,

WAL-LAY-LI WAN-NAHAAR

And in public and in secret

WAL-IA'-LAANI WAL-IS-RAAR

And in prosperity and adversity!

WA FIS-SAR-RAAA-I WAZ''-Z''AR-RAAA-I

permit me to have intimate moments with you, in silent remembrance,

WA AAANIS-NAA BID'-D'IK-RIL-KHAFEE

Occupy me in doing pure work and efforts which are pleasing to you

WAS-TAA'-MIL-NAA BIL-A'MALIZ-ZAKEE-YI WAS-SAA'-YIL-MAR-Z''EE

and reward me with the full weight of your scale

WA JAAZINAA BIL-MEEZAANIL-WAFEE

My God, hearts that have love are delighted beyond measure by you

ILAAHEE BIKA HAAMATIL-QULOOBUL-WAALIHAH

And minds that differ are brought together by knowing you,

WA A'LAA MAA'-RIFATIKA JUMIA'TIL-U'QOOLUL-MUTABAAYINAH

hearts find no tranquility except in your rememberence

FALAA TAT'-MA-IN-NUL-QULOOBU IL-LAA BID'IK-RAAKA

souls are not at rest except when they see you.

WA LAA TAS-KUNUN-NUFOOSU IL-LAA I'NDA ROO-YAAKA

You are the one glorified in every place,

ANTAL-MUSAB-BAHOO FEE KUL-LI MAKAAN

And the one worshiped at every time,

WAL-MAA'-BOODU FEE KUL-LI ZAMAANIN

And the one found at every moment,

WAL-MAW-JOODU FEE KUL-LI AWAAN

And the one called by every tongue,

WAL-MAD-U'W-WU BIKUL-LI LISAAN

And the one magnified and respected in every heart!

WAL-MUA'Z'-Z'AMU FEE KUL-LI JANAAN

And so i ask forgiveness from you,

WA AS-TAGH-FIRUK

For every act of pleasure that I experienced in which I did not remember you,

MIN KUL-LI LAD'-D'ATIM-BIGHAY-RI D'IK-RIK

And for every moment of ease that I had, which was not as a result of being close to you,

WA MIN KUL-LI RAAH'ATIM-BIGHAY-RI UNSIK

And for every time of happiness that I enjoyed which was not as a result of being near to you

WA MIN KUL-LI SUROORIM-BIGHAYRI QUR-BIK

And every moment that occupied me which was a result of not obeying you!

WA MIN KUL-LI SHUGH-LIM-BIGHAY-RI T'AAA'TIK

My God, you have said—and your word is true—

ILAAHEEE ANTA QUL-TA WA QAW-LUKAL-H'AQ-QU:

O you who believe, remember ALLAH with much remembrance and glorify Him morning and in the evening! (33:42-43)

YA AY-YUHAAL-LAD'EENA AMANOOD'-KUROOL-LAHA D'IK-RANA KATHEERAW-WA SAB-BIH'OOHOO BUK-RATAW-WA AS'EELA

And you have said—and your word is true-

WA QUL-TA WA QAW-LUKAL-H'AQ

Remember Me, and I will remember you!

FAD'-KUROONEEE AD'-KUR-KUM (2:152)

You have commanded us to remember you, and you have promised us that you will remember us- by which you will bestow us with dignity, respect, and honor

FAAMAR-TANAA BIDIK-RIKA WA WAAT-TANA A'LAY-HEEE AN TAD'-KURANA TASH-REEFAL-LANAA WATAF-KHEEMAW-WA IA'-Z'AAMAA

So here we are, remembering you as You have commanded us!

WAHAA NAH'-NU D'AAKIROOKA KAMAAA AMAR-TANAA

So fulfill your promise to us

FA ANJIZ LANAA MAA WAA'T-TANAA

O Rememberer of those who rememberers!

YAA D'AAKIRAD'-D'AAKIREEN

O Most Merciful of the merciful!

WA YAAA AR-H'AMAR-RAAH'IMEEN
