إِنَّا للهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُوْنَ، اللَّهمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيْبَتِي، وَاخْلُفْ لِي خَيْرا ً مِنْهَا

‘To Allah we belong and unto Him is our return.O Allah, recompense me for my affliction and replace it for me with something better.’

اللَّهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا

‘O Allah, I ask You for it’s goodness and I take refuge with You from it’s evil.’

اللَّهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيْهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا أُُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا فِيْهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا أُُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ

‘O Allah, I ask You for it’s goodness, the good within it, and the good it was sent with, and I take refuge with You from it’s evil, the evil within it, and from the evil it was sent with.’

سُبْحانَ الَّذِي يُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ، وَالمَلائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيْفَتِهِ

When Abdullah Ibn Az-Zubayr (ra) used to hear thunder he would stop talking and say: ‘How perfect He is, (The One) Whom the thunder declares His perfection with His praise, as do the angels out of fear of Him.’

اللَّهمَّ اسْقِنَا غَيْثا ً مُغِيْثا ً مَرِيْئا ً مُرِيْعا، ً نَافِعاً غَيْرَ ضَارّ،ٍ عَاجِلاً غَيْرَ آجِل.ٍ

‘O Allah, send upon us helpful, wholesome and healthy rain, beneficial not harmful rain, now, not later.’

اللَّهمَّ أَغِثْنَا، اللَّهمَّ أَغِثْنَا، اللَّهمَّ أَغِثْنَا.

‘O Allah, relieve us, O Allah, relieve us, O Allah, relieve us.’

اللَّهمَّ اسْقِ عِبَادَكَ وَبَهَائِمَكَ، وَانْشُرْ رَحْمَتَكَ وَأَحْيِي بَلَدَكَ المَيِّتَ.

‘O Allah, provide water for Your servants and Your cattle, spread out Your mercy and resurrect Your dead land.’

اللَّهمَّ صَيِّبا ً نَافِعا.ً

‘O Allah, may it be a beneficial rain cloud.’

مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَتِهِ

‘We have been given rain by the grace and mercy of Allah.’

للَّهمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَلا عَلَيْنَا، اللَّهمَّ عَلَى الآكَامِ وَالظِّرَابِ، وَبُطُوْنِ الأَوْدِيَةِ، وَمَنابِتِ الشَّجَر

‘O Allah, let the rain fall around us and not upon us, O Allah, (let it fall) on the pastures, hills, valleys and the roots of trees.’

اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، اللَّهمَّ أَهِلَّه ُُ عَلَيْنَا بِالأَمْنِ وَالإِيْمَانِ، وَالسَّلامَةِ وَالإِسْلامِ، وَالتَّوْفِيْقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى، رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكَ ال

‘Allah is the greatest. O Allah, let the crescent loom above us in safety, faith, peace, and Islam, and in agreement with all that You love and pleases You. Our Lord and your Lord is Allah.’
