Ramadhan Dua: The Rain of Compassion - Day 29

The Shroud of Mercy

We ask to be "covered" in Mercy. This dua is about "I'smah" (protection/purity) and cleansing the heart from the "darkness of false accusations" or doubts that plague the mind.

Arabic:

اَللّـهُمَّ غَشِّني فيهِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، وَارْزُقْني فيهِ التَّوْفيقَ وَالْعِصْمَةَ، وَطَهِّرْ قَلْبي مِنْ غَياهِبِ التُّهْمَةِ، يا رحيماً بِعِبادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ.

Transliteration:

Allahumma ghash-shini fihi bir-rahmah, warzuqni fihit-tawfiqa wal-'ismah, wa tahhir qalbi min ghayahibit-tuhmah, ya Rahimam bi-'ibadihil-mu'minin.

Translation:

O Allah, on this day, cover me with Your mercy, grant me success and protection, and purify my heart from the darkness of false accusations, O the Merciful to His believing servants.
