Translator’s note |

Firstly, thanks and acknowledgment ought to be bestowed upon Brother Riyadhuddin for his diligent work in translating the piece before us. By the will of Allaah, the draft of his work was lost, which is when the present translator undertook this noble assignment.

Secondly, it should be stated clearly and emphatically from the onset that this translation in no way encourages the English speaking Muslim to take to supplicating and remembering his Lord in the English tongue as regards the following supplications, since the subject matter here stems from the Qur.aan and the Sunnah. Care should be taken to adhere to the language in which it was revealed, i.e. the eloquent tongue of the Arabs. Instead, what we desire is to present the English reader with an approximation of the meaning of the original, in the hope that through doing so, he may come to an improved state towards worshipping his Lord.

Our Lord, If we have been able in these pages to convey the true sense of the words of Your Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) then be patron over us and all those who benefit from this, and wherever we have failed in this effort, forgive us and protect the people from our errors.
