A-le Ibra-heema Innaka Hameedum Majeed. Alla-humma Ba-rek
‘Ala Muhammadeun wa ‘Ala A-le Muhammadin Kama Ba-rakta

Translation :
‘Oh Allah! shower kindness on Muhammad
and his family members, as you have showered your
kindness on Ibraheem and his family members. Verily you
are praiseworthy and honourable. Oh Allah! You shower
bounties on Muhammad and his family members as you
have showered your bounties on Ibraheem and his family
members. Verily you are praiseworthy and honourable’.
Doa-i-Mathoorah (i.e. Doa narrated in hadeeth) such as:
Pronunciation :
Alla-humma Innee Zalamtu Nafsee Zulman
Kathee-raon wala Yaghferuz Zunooba Illa Anta, Faghfirlee
Maghfiratam min ‘Indika warhamnee Innaka Antal Ghafoorur
Raheem.
Translation :
Oh Allah! I have made a lot of torture on
myself. There is none to forgive these sins except you. So,
forgive me especially from yourself and be kind to me.
Verily you are forgiving and kind’.
Salam :
After Doa-i-Mathoorah the musalli will turn his
head first to the right and then to the left with the
utterance of ‘Assala-mu ‘Alaikum wa Rahmatulla-h’ (peace and
kindness of Allah be upon you). After the end of the 1st
salam, may be added ‘wa Baraka-tuhu’ (‘and his bounties’).
Thus after ending of salat he will utter once loudly ‘Alla-hu
Akbar’ (Allah is greatest) and ‘Astaghfirullah’ (‘I seek pardon
to Allah’) three times. If he is an Imam, he will sit towards
Muqtadis by turning to the right or left and will read the
Doa below and other Doas.
Pronunciation :
Alla-humma Antas Sala-mu wa minkas Salamu Taba-rakta Ya zal jala-li wal Ikra-m.
Translation :
Oh Allah! You are peace and from you comes
the peace. You are the benevolent. Oh! the owner of
dignity and honour’.
After reading upto this he may get him up. Other Doas
after it, pl. see in the chapter ‘Zikr after salat’.
