Victory [Hizb an-Nasr] by Shaikh

'Abd al-Qadir (sanctified be his

innermost being).

In the Name of Allah, the AllMerciful, the All-Compassionate.

Bismi'llahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Rahim.

O Allah, I beg You to grant me

immersion in the ocean of the light
Allahumma as'alu-ka ghamsatan fi

bahri nuri

of Your compelling Dignity,

outwardly and inwardly potent and
powerful,

Haibati-ka 'l-qahirati 'D-Dahirati 'l-

batinati 'l-qadirati 'l-muqtadira:

until my face is aglow with rays

from the light of Your Dignity.

hatta yatala'la'a wajhi bi-shu'a'atin

min nuri Haibati-k.

It will dazzle the eyes of the

envious, the rebellious and the

devils,

takhtafu 'uyuna 'l-hasadati wa 'l-

maradati wa 'sh-shayatin:

among all of mankind and the jinn,

and with their inner and outer

intrigues,

wa maka'idi-hum 'l-batinati wa 'D-

Dahirati

and so their eyes are ashamed to

mina 'l-insi wa 'l-jinni ajma'in:

look at me,

so they cannot strike me with the

li-ru'yati

arrows of their envy,

fa-la yarshuqu-ni bi-sihami hasadi-

him

wa tasiru absaru-hum khashi'atan

and their necks are bowed before

my onslaught.

wa riqabu-hum khadi'atan li-

satwati.
Shield me, O Allah, with the shield

of which

wa 'hjub-ni Allahumma bi'l-hijabi

'lladhi

the inner side is radiant light, so

that my spiritual states
batinu-hu 'n-nuru

are beautified by its intimate

friendship,

fa-tabtahiju ahwali bi-unsi-hi

and my words and my deeds are

fortified by its touch,

wa tata'ayyadu aqwali wa af'ali bi-

hissi-hi

and of which the outer side is fire,

wa Dahiru-hu 'n-naru
so that it scorches the faces of my

foes

fa-talfahu wujuha a'da'i

with a scorching that cuts their

desires off from me,

lafhatan taqta'u mawadda-hum 'an-

ni
until they turn away from their

objectives, as outcasts,

hatta tusaddu 'an mawaridi-him

khasi'ina

losers and failures, disgraced and

abased and humiliated.

khasirina khashi'ina khadi'ina

mutadhallilina

They will turn their backs and lay

waste to the lands,

yuwalluna 'l-adbara wa

yukharribuna 'd-diyara
and ruin their homes with their

own hands

wa yukharribuna buyuta-hum bi-

aidi-him

and the hands of the believers.

wa aidi 'l-mu'minin.

I also beg You for the light that

acts as a shield

wa as'alu-ka 'n-nura 'lladhi 'htajaba

bi-hi
for the preservation of the honor of

the lights

qiwamu namusi anwari

of Your Countenance, the light by

which You are shielded

Wajhi-ka 'n-nura 'lladhi 'htajabta bi-

hi
from the perception of the eyes.
'an idraki 'l-absar.

[I beg You] to shield me with the

lights of Your Names,

an tahjuba-ni bi-anwari Asma'i-ka

within the lights of Your Secrets,
fi anwari Asrari-ka

with a shield thick enough to

defend me against every deficiency

hijaban kathifan yadfa'u 'an-ni kulla

naqsin
that might affect me in my

essential and my incidental nature,

yukhalitu-ni fi jawhariyyati wa fi

'aradiyyati

and which will form a barrier

between me

wa yahulu baini
and anyone who seeks to do me

harm,

wa baina man arada-ni bi-su'.

[I beg You for] that by which You

will revitalize me,

wa ma tuhyi-ni bi-hi
from among Your gracious favors

which You have bestowed,

min fada'il-ka 'llati manahta bi-ha

and Your excellent bounties in

and about me, and in my interest,

which You have inundated me.

wa 'an-ni wa fiyya.

ha.

for You are the Repeller of

wa fawadili-ka 'llati ghamarta-ni fi-

[I beg You for] whatever is

assigned to me,
wa ma ilayya
and incumbent upon me, and due

to me, and for me,

wa 'alayya wa bi wa li

everything evil and despicable,

fa-inna-ka Dafi'u kulli su'in wa

makruh:

and You are Capable of all things.

wa Anta 'ala kulli sha'in Qadir.
O Shining Source of every light,

clothe me from Your Light

ya Munawwira kulli nurin albis-ni

min Nuri-ka
in clothing that illuminates for me

whatever I find confusing

libasan yudihu li ma 'ltabasa

'alayya

among my inner and outer states of

being.

mina ahwali 'l-batinati wa 'D-

Dahira:

Extinguish the lights of my

enemies and my enviers,

wa 'tmis anwara a'da'i wa hussadi

so that they cannot approach me

except in abject humiliation,

hatta la yahtadu ilayya illa bi'dh-

dhulli
in submission and ruination and

exhaustion,

wa 'l-inqiyadi wa 'l-halakati wa 'n-

nafadi
since no despotic oppressive,

overbearing relic of them will

remain.

fa-la tubqi min-hum baqiyatan

baghiyatan taghiyatan 'atiya.

Let the guards of Hell restrain

them from me,

aqmi'-hum 'an-ni bi'z-zabaniya:

and let their pillars be demolished

by the angels eight in number,

wa hudda arkana-hum bi'l-

mala'ikati 'th-thamaniya:
and seize them by every forelock,
wa khudh-hum min kulli nasiya:
for the sake of each Name by
which You have named Yourself,
bi-haqqi kulli 'smin huwa la-ka

sammaita bi-hi Nafsa-ka

or have revealed in Your Book,

aw anzalta-hu fi Kitabi-ka

and for the sake of that which is

Yours by right,

or have made known to one of

wa bi-haqqi-ka 'alai-ka

aw 'allamta-hu ahadan min khalqi-

and that which You owe to every

Your creatures,
ka

or have kept in Your presence

within the knowledge of the
Unseen,

awi 'sta'tharta bi-hi fi 'ilmi 'l-Ghaibi

'inda-ka

owner of a rightful claim on You.

wa bi-haqqi-ka 'ala kulli dhi haqqin

'alai-k.

O Truth, O Clearly Manifest, O

Ever-Living, O Self-Sustaining
One!

ya Haqqu ya Mubinu ya Hayyu ya

Qayyum:
O Allah! O Lord! O Source of

Help!

ya Allahu ya Rabbahu ya

Ghiyathah.

I beseech You by Your most

beautiful Names,

as'alu-ka bi-Asma'ika 'l-husna

and by Your most high and perfect

Attributes,

wa bi-Sifati-ka 't-tammati 'l-'ulya

and by Your most exalted Dignity,
bi-'Arshi-ka wa ma hawa

and by Your Throne and what it

contains,

wa bi-Jaddi-ka 'l-a'la wa
and by Him who established

Himself upon the Throne,

wa bi-Man 'ala 'l-'Arshi 'stawa

and encompassed the sovereignty,

wa 'ala 'l-mulki 'htawa
and by him who
drew near and came down,

[I beg You] to let the sun of

aweome splendor, overwhelming,

an tutli'a shamsa 'l-haibati 'l-

qahirati 'l-

brilliant, outwardly and inwardly

dana fa-tadalla

potent and powerful,

till he was two bows' length or

muqtadirati

nearer.

fa-kana qaba qawsaini aw adna.

(53:8,9)

bahirati 'D-Dahirati 'l-qadirati 'l-

shine upon my face, so that

blindness will afflict any person

'ala wajhi hatta ya'ma kullu

shakhsin
who stares at me with the eye of

enmity, scorn and contempt.

yanDuru ilayya bi-'aini 'l-'adawati

wa 'l-izdira'i wa 'l-istihza':

It will turn him away when he

approaches me, repelled by the

fa-tudbiru-hu 'inda iqbali-hi ilayya

mustaraddan
devastating perils and the

threatening disasters,

bi'l-makhawifi 'l-muhlikati wa 'l-

bawa'iqi 'l-mudrika.
Your embrace of all things will

thus embrace them,

fa-tuhitu bi-him ihatatu-ka bi-kulli

shai'in

until not a remnant of them

remains,

hatta la tubqiya min-hum baqiyatan

and they find no protection against

it.

wa la yajidu min-ha waqiya.

O our Master! O our Patron!
ya Sayyida-na ya Mawla-na

Answer our supplication and grant

us our request!

fa-'stajib du'a-na wa a'ti-na su'la-na

So of the people who did wrong

the last remnant was cut off.

fa-quti'a dabiru 'l-qawmi 'lladhina

Dalamu :

Praise be to Allah, Lord of All

the Worlds!

wa 'l-hamdu li'llahi Rabbi

'l-'alamin. (6:45)
And Allah is behind them,

Encompassing.

wa 'llahu min wara'i-him Muhit.

Nay, but it is a glorious Qur'an,

on a Treasured Tablet.

bal huwa Qur'anun majid: fi

Lawhin MahfuD. (85:2022)

If We will, We can send down on

them from the sky a sign

in nasha' nunazzil 'alai-him mina

's-sama'i ayatan

so that their necks would remain

of All the Worlds.

wa 'l-hamdu li'llahi Rabbi

'l-'alamin.

In the Name of Allah, the AllMerciful, the All-Compassionate

Bismi'llahi 'r-Rahmani 'r-Rahim

bowed before it.

khadi'in. (26:4)
And praise be to Allah, the Lord

Compassionate One!

ya Hayyu ya Qayyum.

May Allah bless our master

grant them peace.

wa sahbi-hi wa sallam.
