Du'a of Monday

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

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

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يُشْهِدْ أَحَداً حِينَ فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ لا اتَّخَذَ مُعِيناً حِينَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَاتِ لَمْ يُشَارَكْ فِي الْإِلَهِيَّةِ وَ لَمْ يُظَاهَرْ فِي الْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ كَلَّتِ الْأَلْسُنُ عَنْ غَايَةِ صِفَتِهِ وَ الْعُقُولُ عَنْ كُنْهِ مَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ تَوَاضَعَتِ الْجَبَابِرَةُ لِهَيْبَتِهِ وَ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِخَشْيَتِهِ وَ انْقَادَ كُلُّ عَظِيمٍ لِعَظَمَتِهِ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مُتَوَاتِراً مُتَّسِقاً وَ مُتَوَالِياً مُسْتَوْسِقاً [مُسْتَوْثِقا] وَ صَلَوَاتُهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ أَبَداً وَ سَلامُهُ دَائِماً سَرْمَداً اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ يَوْمِي هَذَا صَلاحا وَ أَوْسَطَهُ فَلاحاً وَ آخِرَهُ نَجَاحا،

Praise be to God, who called no one to witness when He created the heavens and the earth, and took no helper when He brought forth living souls. He was given no partner in His divinity, nor any supporter in His oneness. Tongues fall short of the furthest reach of His description, and minds of the essence of knowing Him. The tyrants humble themselves before His majesty, faces bow down in fear of Him, and every great one submits to His greatness. So to You be praise, continuous and ordered, unbroken and complete, and His blessings be upon His Messenger forever, and His peace, lasting and eternal. O God, make the beginning of this day of mine righteousness, its middle prosperity, and its end success,

وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ أَوَّلُهُ فَزَعٌ وَ أَوْسَطُهُ جَزَعٌ وَ آخِرُهُ وَجَعٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ نَذْرٍ نَذَرْتُهُ وَ كُلِّ وَعْدٍ وَعَدْتُهُ وَ كُلِّ عَهْدٍ عَاهَدْتُهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ أَفِ بِهِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ فِي مَظَالِمِ عِبَادِكَ عِنْدِي فَأَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ أَوْ أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَائِكَ كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلِي مَظْلِمَةٌ ظَلَمْتُهَا إِيَّاهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَوْ فِي عِرْضِهِ أَوْ فِي مَالِهِ أَوْ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَ وَلَدِهِ أَوْ غِيبَةٌ اغْتَبْتُهُ بِهَا أَوْ تَحَامُلٌ عَلَيْهِ بِمَيْلٍ أَوْ هَوًى أَوْ أَنَفَةٍ أَوْ حَمِيَّةٍ أَوْ رِيَاءٍ أَوْ عَصَبِيَّةٍ غَائِباً كَانَ أَوْ شَاهِداً وَ حَيّاً كَانَ أَوْ مَيِّتاً فَقَصُرَتْ يَدِي وَ ضَاقَ وُسْعِي عَنْ رَدِّهَا إِلَيْهِ وَ التَّحَلُّلِ مِنْهُ،

and I seek refuge in You from a day whose beginning is fright, whose middle is anguish, and whose end is pain. O God, I ask Your forgiveness for every vow I vowed, every promise I promised, and every pledge I pledged and then did not fulfil. And I ask You concerning the wrongs done to Your servants that lie upon me: for whichever servant of Your servants or handmaid of Your handmaids holds against me a wrong that I did them, in their person, or in their honour, or in their wealth, or in their family and children, or a backbiting with which I spoke of them behind their back, or unfair treatment I dealt them out of partiality, or desire, or pride, or zeal, or showing off, or factionalism, whether they were absent or present, living or dead, and my hand has fallen short and my means have grown too narrow to return it to them and to be released from it by them,

فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ الْحَاجَاتِ وَ هِيَ مُسْتَجِيبَةٌ لِمَشِيَّتِهِ وَ مُسْرِعَةٌ إِلَى إِرَادَتِهِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُرْضِيَهُ عَنِّي بِمَا [بِمَ ] شِئْتَ وَ تَهَبَ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّهُ لا تَنْقُصُكَ الْمَغْفِرَةُ وَ لا تَضُرُّكَ الْمَوْهِبَةُ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ اللَّهُمَّ أَوْلِنِي فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ إِثْنَيْنِ نِعْمَتَيْنِ مِنْكَ ثِنْتَيْنِ سَعَادَةً فِي أَوَّلِهِ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ نِعْمَةً فِي آخِرِهِ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ يَا مَنْ هُوَ الْإِلَهُ وَ لا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ سِوَاهُ

so I ask You, O He who holds needs in His possession, while they answer to His will and hasten to His wish, that You bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and that You make that person pleased with me by whatever means You will, and grant me from Yourself a mercy, for forgiveness does not diminish You, and giving does not harm You, O Most Merciful of the merciful. O God, grant me on every Monday two blessings from You, two in number: happiness at its beginning through obedience to You, and a blessing at its end through Your forgiveness, O He who is God, and none forgives sins but He.
