After entering into the courtyard say: Praise be to Allah who honoured me
with insight in the divine matters
concerning Him and His Messenger, and prescribed for me obedience unto Him
as a duty, an act of
mercy from Him to me, a recurring bounty from Him for me, and choose me to
have faith in Him.
Praise be to Allah who brought me to the sacred resting place of His
Messenger's brother,
a destination which gives me comfort.
Praise be to Allah who allowed me to be among the "Zawwaar"
(visitors) of His Messenger's successor.
I bear witness that there is no god save Allah, the, One who has not taken
any partner, and I bear witness that
Muhammad, His bondman and Messenger, had come with truth from Him, and I
bear witness that Ali, the
brother of the Messenger of Allah, is also His bondman.
Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest! Allah is the Greatest! There
is no god save Allah.
Allah is the Greatest, Praise be to Allah, for the guidance and direction
every one seeks from His
"necessary connection"
O Allah Thou art the most desired real aim, that most generous Welcomer
unto whom one can go to seek
nearness,
I have come near Thee to seek Thy nearness, in the name of Thy Prophet,
the Prophet of mercy,
and in the name of his brother, Ameeril Moomineen Ali ibna abi Talib,
peace be on them,
send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, let not my
effort go waste,
treat me mercifully, promote my interests, make me honoured and respected
in this world and in the Hereafter, and let me be among the favourites.
