Duaa (Supplication) by the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh) in Taif
"Al-Lahuma Elaika
Nashku Dh'afa Quwatina Wa-Qilata Hilatina Wa-Hawana A'lan-Nas, ya Arhamar-rahimeen,
ya rubal-Mustad'afeen, Anta Rabuna. ila man takiluna illa Qawmin Yastad'ifuna
Am illa A'dowin Wakaltahu Amruna...in-lam yakun laka a'lyna Ghadabun fala
nubalee. Naoothu biwajhiakal aldhi ashraqat luhudh-Dhulumat was-saluha ali-hi
amrad-dunia wal-akhira ala yahal alyna ghadabuk Aou yanzil alina sakhatuk lakal-u'qba
hata tarda wala hawla wala quata ala biyk."
"Oh, my Allah! To Thee I complain of the feebleness of my strength, of my lack
of resources and of my being unimportant in the eyes of people. Oh, Most Merciful
of all those capable of showing mercy! Thou art the Lord of the weak, and Thou
art my own Lord. To whom art Thou to entrust me; to an unsympathetic folk who
would sullenly frown at me, or to an alien to whom Thou hast given control
over my affairs? Not in the least do I care for anything except that I may
have Thy protection for myself. I seek shelter in Your light - The light that
illuminates the Heavens and dispels all sorts of darkness, and which controls
all affairs in this work as well as in the Hereafter. May it never be that
I should incur Thy wrath, or that Thou should be displeased with me. I must
remove the cause of Thy displeasure until Thou art pleased. There is no strength
nor power but through Thee."
