DUA-E-NUDBA

Translated and Edited by: Aim

IN THE NAME OF GOD

INTRODUCTION

“Say: My lord would not care for you were it not for your prayer.” (Qur’an/25/77)

One of the true and authentic feeling of mankind which has an innate root in the nature of man is paying attention to Dua and spiritual relation with the unseen world and the origin of creation.

This is a matter, which even the famous psychologists have not neglected it. Although the necessity of Dua is present in the nature of man but it manifests itself more during calamities and misfortunes from materialistic forces. Human being, without any will and option turns himself towards the All-Powerful Allah with all his might and energy, And he asks his help and protection. Dua is the weapon of a Mo’min. It lightens the pressures of misfortunes and difficulties an above all, it showers upon the human being the boundless mercy of the All-Truth (Allah).

Like other matters, even in the method of Dua, human being is in need of and reasoned and rational guidance so that this natural feeling which is necessary for the soul does not mislead him. And it does not become a means and pretest for the cheaters and imposters. With the correct method of its usage, the thirst of the conscience of man gets quenched and finds his intended destination.

When the radiating sun of Islam glittered the Earth and the curtains of super­stition ware ripped off, its rich resources altered all aspects of individual, social, spiritual, material, and moral affairs of human life. Dua was also amongst the things, which was covered by this transformation. Its program is so laid that can be understood as worthy of the affairs of every program human being and the true worshipper of Allah.

Islammic Duas and Zisra’t other than their sacred, holy and divine aspects are the big and comprehensive treasures full of humanistic concepts. Invocating them like attending a training course leaves a very deep and good impression on our personality, the reason being that their interesting meaningful texts are narrated directly from our prophet (S.A.) and his infallible progeny in which they have thought various lessons about the sublime learning of Monotheism, Resurrection, Prophethood Wilayat, moral sense, laws and ethics. Indeed, the school of Dua one is one of the high schools which is having a great effect in the development of human thinking, spiritual and social growth, of course if it is correctly used. Till the Muslims do not pass this school, their Islamic personality will not become perfect. The school is day and night open for everybody and the repetition of its lessons will always make the person ascend from one stage to another.

One of these treasures which, always the believers and those anxious for the reappearance of the righteous and universal Government of Hazrat Baqi-at-allah (May Allah hasten his Reappearance), have set it as their slogan is the glorious Dua-e-Nudba. They renew their allegiance with their Master during fixed occasions and establish emotional gatherings for reading it.

t:3

Nudba (Iamentation) and wailing for visiting his Holiness, the coming to an end of his Occultation, pray for hastening his reappearance and expressing regret upon the prevalent turbulent and oppressive condition of, today’ world  (the Period of Occultation) is a lesson which the Shias have learnt from their Imams (A .S.) and their behaviour is a pattern for their partisans.

Sadir-e-seirafi, a distinguished companion of Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq (AS.) says that along with three other companions, they visited Imam (A.S.). They saw Imam (A.S) in a very sad and sorrowful condition sitting on the ground. Like a mother who has lost her dear son and with a painful heart, Imam (A.S.) was crying, wailing, meaning and saying:

“My master, your occultation has snatched away sleep from my eyes, has taken my concentration and has deprived tranquility from my heart.

My master, your occultation has surrounded with a tragic suffering due to which I can never find sympathy and consolation. Due to the loss of friends one after the other, our gathering is breaking.

Calamities, hardships, difficulties and disasters have so much pained my heart that I do no feel the tears of my eyes and the yelling and crying of my heart. Yet other severe and unbearable sufferings are imagined that one more difficult and fragile than the previous ones.”

Sadir says:

“Calamity struck us and our heart became full of sadness and sorrow for Imam (A.S.). We presumed that an unpleasant event has made Imam (A.S.) - this mountain of patience and forbearance in such a lamenting and mournful con­dition”

We said:

“O Son of the best mankind. May Allah not make you cry.

t:4

For what circums­tances are you weeping in such a manner?”

His holiness heaved a sad sigh from his afflicted heart and said:

“This morning, when I was looking at “the book of Jafr”, the book of knowledge of various predicts, until Qiyamat, which has been assigned and made exclusive to Hazrat Mohammad (S.A) and his successors (A.S.). It contains the birth, occultation, delay in reapearance, longevity Hazrat Mahdi (A.S) sufferings of believers during occultation, doubts and uncertainties which arise in their hearts due to the prolongation of Occultation, a majority of them leave aside Islam and our wilaiat and do not mind about religion. Due to thinking on these things grief and sadness has overpowered me…”.

(Raf: Kamaluddin, pg. 352-357, Ghaibat-e-Tusi, pg. 1o4-l08)

Therefore, with considering the behaviour of Imam (A.S.) regarding the of Hazrat Mahdi (A.S.), we should also become sad and depressed; and express our wish and interest in his reappearance by seeking shelter towards Allah and reciting Dua, bearing in mind that if He (Allah) wishes, He can rectify the Occultation of Imam (AS.) in one night itself.

Dua-e-Nudba is one of the most important and famous authentic Duas of Shia. Its stability in text, vocabulary and meaningful subjects increase he credi­bility of its document. This Dua has been narrated by the great Sayyed, the late Razi-ud-Din Ali Ibn-e-Taoos who was from amongst the great Shia scholars of the seventh century. He has narrated in his great hooks of ‘Iqbal’ pg. 295-299 and the seventh chapter of ‘Misbah-uz-Zair’ Before him, the great sheikh, Mohammad Ibn-e-Jafar-e-Mashadi Haeri who was amongst the great Shia scholars of the sixth century. He has narrated it

t:5

in his book of ‘Mataar’ Dua number 107. Prior to these two, Qutb-e-Rawandi who was also amongst the great shia scholars of the fifth century has written this Dua in his book of ‘Mazaar’. And before all these three persons, the great Shaikh, Mohammad Ibn-e-Ali Ibn-e-Abi Qirra who also was amongst the great Shia scholars of the fifth century has brought in his book. This book was used by the later scholars. He narrates it from the great and honorable Shaikh, Mohammad Ibne-e-Hussain-e-Bazoofari, one of the former learned teacher from whom shaikh Mufid was narrating. Bazoofari in his own chain of narration does not quote its narrators due to its fame and great reputation, he has narrated the Dua from Imam Zaman  (AS.). He has declared its recitation as a Mostahab Dua on four Idds; Jumah, Fitr, Qurban and Ghedeer. Allame Majilisi (May Allah be satisfied with him) also has narrated this Dua in his book of “Bihar-ul-Anwar” -and “Zaad-ul-Maad” from Sayyed Ibn-e-Ta’oos from the book of Mazaar-e-Mashadi, from Ibn-e-Abu Qirra, from Mohammad Ibn-e-Hussain Basoofari. He testifies to the credibility of its document.

Therefore, it is necessary that on Friday mornings which is considered as one of the four Idds and the time for the recitation of this great Dua, and during the other mentioned days, in a mass and bewail, with concentrating our mind, asking forgiveness and reciting Salawat, we wash away our sins and remove the obstacles which has stopped the granting of our Duas. Then with a full attention, weeping and moaning state, we call Imam (AS.) in the same way as sadir has narrated it from our sixth Imam, Hazat Sadiq (AS.). We cry and recite Nudbah upon the Occultation sad being far away from Imam (AS.). We request Allah to hasten his reappearance and ends the corruption, persecution and

t:6

injustice which is reigning in this world due to the absence of Imam (AS.). May the Almighty Allah has mercy upon our Nudbas and moanings. He may have mercy upon a weeping from amongst the weeping and will remove the chastisement of Occultation from amongst us. Thus, He may give us the grate and favour of the presence of Imam (AS.) once more.

With His Grace and Benevolence May Allah desire so.

when his (Holy Prophet) days passed, he appointed his successor Ali, son of Abu Talib as a Guide, Your peace be upon them and their progeny.

How long am I to bewail for you, O my Master! And how long and with which word should I praise you, and what secret talk (should I adopt with you).

(*)

It is intolerable for me to talk and receive a reply from persons than you.

(*)

It is intolerable for me that I cry for you while all others forsake you.

(*)

It is intolerable for me that this (isolation) befall you instead of befalling others.

(*)

Is there any helpers with whom I may prolong my lamentation and weeping.

(*)

Is there any mourner with whom I may join when he mourns alone.

(*)

Is there any eye weeping of a thorn, that my eye may sympathize with it.

(*)

O the son of Ahmad! Is there a way through which you may be met.

(*)

May our day (of separation) joins the day of reapearance by which we enjoy?

(*)

When shall we arrive at your streams for drink, with

t:23

which to quench our thirst for you?

(*)

When shall we get benefit of your sweet water, for already the thirst has lasted too tong?

(*)

When shall we spend morning and evening with you to delight our yes with a glance (at you)?

(*)

When shall you see us and we shall see you; then you shall be seen unfurling the flag of victory.

(*)

Will you see us gathered around you and you are leading all the people.

(*)

Then already you have filled the earth with justice and have made your enemies taste the disgrace (of defeat) and retribution.

(*)

And you have annihilated the last remains of the arrogant and uprooted the foundation of the unjust people.

(*)

O Allah You are the Remover of agonies and calamities, and You are the one from whom I seek help; then with You is the sanctuary.

(*)

And You are Lord of the Hereafter and this world; so help O helper of those who seek help, your poor afflicted servant. (*)

And show him his Master; O Severe(1) of strength And through him (Imam ‘A.S.’) remove his (your servant’s) grief and sorrow.

(*)

t:24


1- See Holy Qur’an 20/12 

And cool the burning of his hurt, O You who firm in the Heavenly throne(1) of power and towards Whom is the return and ultimate end.

(*)

O Allah! We are Your enamoured servants of Your appointed regent who reminds us of You and Your Prophet.

(*)

He whom You created for us as our savior and defender, and set him for us as protector and refuge and appointed him a leader (Imam) for the true believers amongst us.

(*)

So convey to him our greetings and salutations, and increase honour because of this (greeting) O lord.

(*)

And make his abode (in paradise) also a home and halting place for us, and complete Your favors by appointing him as our guide.

(*)

Till You make us enter. Your paradise; and (bestow on us) the companions of the martyrs from amongst those of Your adorers.

(*)

O Allah! bestow Your blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny Muhammad.

(*)

And bless his grandfather Muhammad and Your Messenger the elder Master, and upon his Father (Ali) the younger Master.

(*)

And his grandmother, the great truthful daughter of Muhammad (S.A.); And upon whom you have selected from among his virtuous ancestors.

t:25


1- See Holy Qur’an 53/4

(*)

And on him (Imam A..) (bestowed) the best,  the plentiful, most the perfect, the ever lasting, the most and the numerous (blessings).

(*)

(A.S) whatever you bestowed on any of Your virtuous and chosen ones from among Your creature,

(*)

And favour him with endless count of blessing which never gets and nor limitation.

(*)

O Allah! And through him set up the truth, and make the falsehood vanished through him; and prepare the victory for your friends, and disgrace Your enemies through him.

(*)

O Allah, set a relationship between us and him that grants us the honour of the company of his ancestors.

(*)

And let us be of those who seek their company and reside in their shelter.

(*)

And help us in fulfilling our dues to him and in striving hard to his obedience and to avoid disobeying him.

(*)

Ands grant us his pleasure and bestow on us his compassion and his supplication and his goodness;

(*)

Whereby through him we may receive the vastness of Your Mercy and success with You.

(*)

And for his sake let our prayer be accepted, and for his sake let our sins be forgiven and for his sake let our request

t:26

be granted

(*)

And for his sake let our sustenance be abundant and for his sake let our saddness be relived and for his sake let our wants be granted.

(*)

And You turn tow through Your Honoured face And accept our proximity with You.

(*)

And cast upon us Your merciful look, through which our achievement of honour from you may be perfected; then never deprive us of it by your generosity.

(*)

And quench our thirst from the cistern of his (Imam A.S.) grandfather, may Allah bless him and his progeny, in his own cup and from his own hand.

(*)

A sweet, cool, clear, agreeable drink after which no thirst is felt, O Most Merciful of All.

(*)
