The Downpour of Grace
This prayer asks for the "Abwaba Fadhlika" (the doors of Your grace) to open. It is a plea for "Barakat" (blessings) to descend like rain, specifically asking for a place in the "comforts" of Paradise.
Arabic:
اَللّـهُمَّ افْتَحْ لى فيهِ اَبْوابَ فَضْلِكَ، وَاَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ فيهِ بَرَكاتِكَ، وَوَفِّقْني فيهِ لِمُوجِباتِ مَرْضاتِكَ، وَاَسْكِنّي فيهِ بُحْبُوحاتِ جَنّاتِكَ، يا مُجيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرّينَ.
Transliteration:
Allahummaftah li fihi abwaba fadlik, wa anzil 'alayya fihi barakatik, wa waffiqni fihi limujibati mardhatik, wa askinni fihi buhbuhata jannatik, ya Mujiba da'watil-mudhtarrin.
Translation:
O Allah, on this day, open for me the doors of Your grace, send down on me Your blessings, help me towards the causes of Your pleasure, and give me a place in the comforts of Your Paradise, O the One who answers the call of the distressed.
