Munajat Sharifa - Sehrullah Post 5

 أَيُّهَا المَأْمُولُ فِي كُلِّ حَاجَتِي

إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو تَضَرُّعًا شِكَايَتِي

فَزَادِي قَلِيلٌ مَا آرَاهُ مُبَلِّغِي 

فَلِلزَّادِ اَبْكِي اَمْ لِبُعْدِ مَسَافَتِي

Bihori Kitab Page 23

This Munājāt is a journey — from hope, to humility, to helplessness, to awakening

This word ' ma’mūl' is profound. 

It means:

The One relied upon.

The One expected.

The One whose response is anticipated with certainty.

It reflects Tawakkul (absolute reliance).

“My provisions are little…

The “provision” (zād) refers to spiritual provision:

Good deeds

Ikhlāṣ (sincerity)

Knowledge

Obedience

Love of Awliyā’

The servant looks at his life honestly and says: “My provision is little.”

This is not despair. This is Muhāsabah (self-accounting).

True spirituality begins when a person:

Stops comparing with others

Starts evaluating himself before Allah.

“Should I weep for the little provision, or for the long distance?”

This is a line that pierces the soul.

Two realities terrify the servant:

His deeds are few.

The journey to Divine proximity is long and demanding.

This expresses existential awareness.

The believer realizes:

The destination is lofty.

The path is subtle.

The nafs is heavy.

Time is short.

It makes us ask:

What is my provision?

How long is my journey?

Am I prepared?

Is my heart awake?

And yet — despite confession and insufficiency — the servant still calls Him:

“O You who are my only hope.”

Dua ni iltemas.

Munajat Sharifa - Sehrullah Post 4

 Munajat Sharifa of Imam

Ali  Zayn  al-Abedeen  (SA)

Bihori Kitab Page 21

يا من يُجِيبُ دُعَاءَ المُضْطَرِ فِي الظُّلَمِ يَا كَاشِفَ الضُّرِ وَالْبَلْوَى مَعَ السَّعَم

O You who answers the supplication of the distressed in the darkness.

O Reliever of distress and affliction, along with illness.

Kāshif al-ḍurr – The One who removes harm, hardship, and suffering.

Al-balwā – Trials, tests, calamities that weigh upon the soul.

Ma‘a al-saqam – Even when accompanied by sickness and physical weakness.

The verse calls upon Allah as the One who not only sees our pain — but actively lifts it.

It is a cry of complete dependence:

When distress, trial, and illness converge — You alone remove them.

This Munājāt is about 

 1. Spiritual awakeness when others are heedless. 

2. Of hope stronger than sin.

3. Reliance on Divine Mercy over personal merit.

4.Intimacy with Allah in solitude.

Around the Ka‘bah many may gather.

But true tawāf is when the heart circles only Allah.

This Munajat Sharifa brings such sakīnah (solace) for verse after verse the servant confesses. weakness, and verse after verse, Allah’s Mercy silently overwhelms it.

In conclusion I state this -

my dear readers, my shared posts are but a slit — a narrow opening — through which a ray of reflection enters and quietly illuminates the soul.

A Munājāt is never exhausted by translation. It is not merely read — it is experienced.

 Each verse is a mirror; what you see depends on how deeply you look.

Knowledge is not distant. It waits — in the silence of the night, in the pause between two breaths, in the humility of a bowed head.

In this Sehrullah, do not only recite — immerse.

Adorn the mind with understanding.

Polish the soul with ibādat.

Let reflection turn into transformation.

For when the heart awakens, even a slit becomes a sunrise.

ALHAMDOLILLAH !

Munajat Sharifa - Sehrullah Post 3

 Munajat Sharifa of Sayedna Moyyad Shirazi (RA)

Bihori Kitab Page 51

يَا بَنِي الْمُصْطَفَى إِلَيْكُمُ إِلَيْكُمْ

فِي الْمُلِمَّاتِ يَفْزَعُ الْمَكْرُوب

يَا بَنِي الْمُصْطَفَى لَدَيْكُمْ لَدَيْكُمْ

آمَلُ فِي نُفُوسِنَا مَطْلُوبٌ

أنتُمُ انْتُمُ الغِيَاتُ إِذَا مَا أَوْ بَقَتْ ذَا الذُّنُوبِ مِنَّا الذُّنُوبَ

O Progeny of al-Muṣṭafā, the noble and pure,

In times of crushing trials and suffocating distress.

O Progeny of al-Muṣṭafā — to you, to you we turn;

In our hearts there lives a hope sought through you.

Indeed, you are the steadfast stars, ever constant;

Through you are these sins lifted from us.

Brief Fatemi–Taiyebi Explanation

“Banī al-Muṣṭafā” refers to the blessed lineage of Rasulullah (SA) — the Ahl al-Bayt — through whom divine guidance continues.

“In crushing trials” reflects the believer’s state in dunya, where confusion, fitan, and inner weakness cloud clarity. Guidance in such times flows only through the rightful chain of Imamat.

“To you we turn” expresses tawassul — seeking nearness to Allah through His chosen Awliya. In our Deen,  salvation is inseparable from Wilayah.

“You are the steadfast stars” echoes Qur’anic symbolism: stars guide travelers in darkness. Likewise, the Imams — and in the period of Satr, the Duʿat al-Mutlaqeen — are luminous anchors of certainty.

In the remaining verses, Munajat Sharifa emphatically conveys the following 

We are all created from ṭīn (clay). The body does not grant superiority. Wealth, tribe, power — all dissolve back into dust.

But what differentiates hearts is nisbat — sacred connection.

In Fatemi understanding, the true nobility of a human is not in biological clay but in attachment to the Ahl al-Bayt, the purified lineage of the Prophet ﷺ. 

In clay we are equal.

In light we must seek proximity to Dai az Zaman - in our times A'ali Qadr Muffadal Moula ( TUS )

Munajat Sharifa - Sehrullah Post 2

 Moulana Ali (SA) Munājāt Sharifa - Bihori Kitab Page9

يَاذَا الْمَعَالِي عَلَيْكَ مُعْتَمَدِي 

طوبي لِمَنْ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ مَوْلَا هُ

طُوبَى لِمَنْ كَانَ خَائِفًا وَجِلًا

 يَشْكُو إِلَى ذِي الجَلَالِ بَلْواهُ

This Munājāt of Moula ʿAli (SA) is so poignant and full of solace and spirituality.

It begins with His 'abd' in weakness… and ends with Allah in nearness.

Verse after verse, fear melts into assurance.

The servant trembles.

He complains.

He prostrates

He comes alone in the darkness of the night.

And then — the Divine Voice responds.

ALHAMDOLILLAH ! 

It teaches that du‘ā is never a monologue. It is always answered.

The most powerful shift in this Munājāt is that Allah speaks directly to the servant.

(It is ehsan and karam of Moulana Ali ( SA) - it is his Munājāt that we are blessed to do tilawat )

Allah says:

You are in My protection.

I know everything you say.

My angels cherish your voice.

I Myself hear you.

Your prayer reaches Me.

I forgive your sins.

Ask Me without fear.

Do not be afraid — I am Allah.

What greater peace can a heart seek?

In Fatemi  Taiyebi understanding, this reflects the eternal truth that Allah’s rahma precedes His reckoning. The servant may approach trembling, but he leaves embraced.

Ramadan nights become luminous with this certainty:

You are not unheard.

You are not unseen.

You are not alone.

Every sigh is known.

Every tear is witnessed.

Every whisper is welcomed.

And the final reassurance resounds in the soul:

“Do not fear. I am Allah.”

That is solace.

That is peace.

That is nearness.

Hope this Sehrullah when you will do tilawat of 

يَاذَا الْمَعَالِي

you will surely do it with more depth and  understanding. 

If you feel this post has benefited you, why not share it with family and friends, so that they may also be able to tilawat with depth and understanding during Bihori namaz. 

Dua ni iltemas.

Munajat Sharifa - Sehrullah 1st Post

 Tilawat of Munajaat in Shere Ramzan

As the month of Moharram is characterized with buka and matam of Imam Husain (S.A.) the month of Sehre Ramazan is glorified with salat, saum, vazebaat and all forms of aamal maroof (good deeds) that are pleasing to the eyes of Allah.

One of the most endearing forms of Iba'dat  this month is munajaat - a one to ONE commune with Allah The Glorified, wherein the ibad expresses his innermost feelings, his aspirations, his cherished goals in verse form, preferably in seclusion, when the world is asleep, seeking guidance, succour and strength from Allah. 

The purpose of my writing this 'write up' is to create an awareness of the sheer beauty and barakats emanating from the tilawat of munjaat - a glorious Fatemi tradition.

InsaAllah in the coming days leading up to Sehrullah I will try to post some 'write ups'.

Have uploaded a Insta Post on the four (أنهاار) of Fatemi Taiyebi Uloom, as I cruise the Nile. 

Munajat (المناجاة) Wishpered  Dua. To converse with Allah in solitude.

We mumineen are not capable of such a commune with Allah. 

It is ehsana'at of Awliyah Kirams (SA) that with their deep intuitive knowledge and in order to shower baraka'h to generations of mumineen these Munajat are preserved and published in Bihori Kitabs. 

Thus tilawat of which elevates the soul, and one however, lowly his status in both deen and duniya be, for a moment feels in commune with Allah.

Each Sehrullah we get sharaf of doing tilawat of Munajat Sharifa published of  A'ali Qadr Muffadal Moula (TUS)

Over the years both Hay'yul Muqaddas Sy. Taher Saifuddin Moula (RA) and Sy. Mohammad Burhanuddin Moula (RA) has written Munajat each Sehrullah.

 To grasp the profound reach and transformative power of the Munajat, one must recognize that this singular heartfelt 'tamanna' started  the noble FMB initiative—revolutionizing service and upliftment within our community.

I share just the following verse from Munajat Sharifa of Hay'yul Muqaddas of Ramazan 1432 H.  (August 2011) It was in this year that Faiz ul Mawaid Burhaniyah started .

I reflected on the verse in my story LUCKY ME published on 10th Sept 2011. It is uploaded on my home page. Reading it will amaze you and make you realize the sheer power of Munajat Sharifa.

Excerpt from my Story:

Luckily for me as I was tossing and turning  to understand the truths behind the unique FMB 'mohim'  and in order to find some solace and peace of mind, I took up to do tilawat of Munajaat sharifa 1432H

And started reading it, and  some things told me an answer may be found here. As I read along I came upon the following Aby'at Sahrifa -

EUREKA!! HERE WAS THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR

بِقَلْبِي أَمَالُ أَرِيدُ تَمَامَهَا

 بِإِصْلَاحِهِمْ طُرًّا وَانْعَاشِ خَامِلٍ

مارا دل ما گني اميد و چه ، اهني تمامية تو میں ارادہ کروں چھوں ، کئی طرح کہ ۔ یہ سکلا دین نا فرزند و نا هر ايك ( نا حال ) نے درست کري نے انے جد في قدر - کم چھے امنے بلند کری Arya

 Burhanuddin Moula (RA) had done tamanna that  Sehrullah - 1432 H how he could elevate the status of those whose 'qadr' was less to make it bulund بلند. 

Every mumin at par with each other.

For me this was the answer to starting FMB. There may be hundreds of other reasons but reflecting on the abaya't sharifa brought understanding to me. 

This is just one example of the spiritual depth of Munajat Sharifa 

If you like it - share it 

Dua ni iltemas.
