A Closing Duʿāʾ

May Allah (swt) reward all of us for spending this time with these matters. May Allah benefit us from these works. May Allah reward all of the scholars connected with all of these books: the writers, the translators, the publishers and the producers, and everybody who made this a success. May Allah (swt) reward all of them, and especially those who take time out and sit down with a subject like this: a very complex subject, a very difficult subject, but a very important one, recognising that importance. May Allah (swt) open up our hearts for His knowledge, and give us a true understanding of this, and may Allah (swt) bless us all.

Allāhumma anta al-salām wa minka al-salām, tabārakta yā dha al-jalāli wa al-ikrām.

Allāhumma rabbanā ātinā fī al-dunyā ḥasanatan wa fī al-ākhirati ḥasanatan wa qinā ʿadhāb al-nār. Allāhumma ihdinā wa-hdi binā wa-jʿalnā hudātan li-man ihtadā. Allāhumma innā naʿūdhu bika min al-shakki fī al-ḥaqqi baʿda al-yaqīn. Allāhumma innā naʿūdhu bika min al-ḥawri baʿda al-kawr. Allāhumma aṣliḥ lanā shaʾnanā kullahu wa lā takilnā ilā anfusinā ṭarfata ʿayn. Rabbanā lā tuzigh qulūbanā baʿda idh hadaytanā wa hab lanā min ladunka raḥmah…

Allāhumma ṭahhir qulūbanā min al-nifāq, wa aʿmālanā min al-riyāʾ, wa alsinatanā min al-kadhib, wa aʿyunanā min al-khiyānah, fa-innaka taʿlamu khāʾinata al-aʿyuni wa mā tukhfī al-ṣudūr. Allāhumma ʿallimnā mā yanfaʿunā. Allāhumma urzuqnā ʿilman nāfiʿan wa rizqan wāsiʿan wa ʿamalan mutaqabbalan wa shifāʾan min kulli dāʾ. Allāhumma innā naʿūdhu bika min ʿilmin lā yanfaʿ, wa qalbin lā yakhshaʿ, wa nafsin lā tashbaʿ.

… wa-l-asātidhati wa li-ṭullābinā wa li-ikhwāninā wa li-akhawātinā wa li-aṣdiqāʾinā wa li-awlādinā wa li-azwājinā wa li-aqāribinā, wa li-kulli man lahu ḥaqqun ʿalaynā, wa li-kulli man awṣānā bi-l-duʿāʾ. Allāhumma irḥamhum wa ʿāfihim wa-ʿfu ʿanhum. Allāhumma ighfir li-mawtā al-muslimīna alladhīna shahidū laka bi-l-waḥdāniyyati wa mātū ʿalā dhālik. Allāhumma ighfir li-l-muslimīna wa-l-muslimāt, wa-l-muʾminīna wa-l-muʾmināt, al-aḥyāʾi minhum… Allāhumma urzuqnā ḥubbaka wa ḥubba man yanfaʿunā ḥubbuhu ʿindak. Allāhumma aʿṭinā afḍala mā tuʿṭī ʿibādaka al-ṣāliḥīn.

Subḥāna rabbika rabbi al-ʿizzati ʿammā yaṣifūn, wa-l-salāmu ʿalā al-mursalīn, wa ṣallā Allāhu wa sallama ʿalā sayyidinā Muḥammad.
