৩৬. মেঘ, বিদ্যুৎ ও বজ্রের দোয়া

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

O Allah, these two are among Your signs,

and these two are among Your helpers.

They hurry to obey You, bringing a mercy that helps

or a punishment that harms.

So do not rain on us through them a rain of evil (25:40),

and do not dress us through them in the garment of affliction.

O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,

send down on us the good and the blessing of these clouds,

turn their hurt and harm away from us,

do not strike us with any disaster through them,

and send no blight upon our livelihoods.

O Allah, if You have sent them as punishment

and dispatched them in displeasure,

then we seek Your shelter from Your anger

and plead with You humbly for Your pardon.

Turn Your anger toward the idolaters

and turn the millstone of Your punishment on those who swerve from the truth.

O Allah, take away the drought of our lands with the water You give,

draw the bitterness out of our hearts with Your provision,

do not let anything but You distract us from You,

and do not cut off the flow of Your goodness from any of us,

for the rich one is he whom You have made rich,

and the safe one is he whom You have protected.

No one has any defence against You,

and no one can hold out against Your might.

You rule as You wish over whom You wish,

and decree what You will for whom You will.

So praise be to You for shielding us from affliction,

and thanks be to You for the blessings You have given us:

a praise that leaves the praise of all who praise behind it,

a praise that fills His earth and His heaven.

Surely You are the Giver of vast favours,

the Bestower of great blessings,

who accepts a little praise,

who rewards a little thanks,

the Kind, the Gracious, the Lord of bounty.

There is no god but You.

To You is the final return (2:285).
