Dua e Faraj in English - Supplication Azamal Bala for Reappearance of Imam Mehdi Arabic English Subs

Introduction to Dua:

Shaykh Tabarsi (a.r.), the renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, has recorded this supplication in his book ‘Kunooz al-Najaah’ and says, ‘This supplication was taught by our master Saaheb al-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.) to Abul Hasan Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Abi al-Lais in the city of Baghdad at the Graves of Quraish ( مقابر قريش ), where the latter had taken refuge, due to fear of death. On account of the blessings of this supplication, he was saved. This dua'a is attributed to the living Imam Mehdi (atfs). It brings immediate help from our living imam. It is recommended to be recited often by Ulama .Kafami says in his book Baladul Amin that if a wrongfully confined prisoner recites this dua'a he will soon be set free.

إِلَهِيْ عَظُمَ الْبَلَاءُ وَبَرِحَ الْخَفَاءُ
Ilahi ‘azuma’l-bala’u wa bariha’l-khafa’
O my Lord! The calamity has aggravated; the absence prolonged;

وَانْكَشَفَ الْغِطَاءُ وَانْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ ،
Wa’nkashafa’l-ghita’u wa’nqata‘a’r-raja’
The curtain of modesty has been lifted; hope has been curtailed;

وَضَاقَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَمُنِعَتِ السَّمَاءُ
Wa daqati’l-ardu wa muni‘ati’s-sama’
The earth has been narrow; and sky has been denied.

وَأَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَإِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَي
Wa anta’l-musta‘anu wa ilayka’l-mushtaka
And You are the One from whom help is sought and complaints are made

Uli’l-amri’l-ladhina faradta ‘alayna ta‘atahum
The possessors of authority whose obedience you have enjoined upon us

وَ عَرَّفْتَنَا بِذَالِكَ مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ ، فَفَّرِجْ عَنَّا بِحَقِّهِمْ فَرَجاً عَاجِلاً قَرِيْباً كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ أَوْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ
Wa ‘arraftana bidhalika manzilatahum fafarrij ‘anna bi-haqqihim farajan ‘ajilan qariban kalamhi’l-basari aw huwa aqrab
And by that made us aware of their position. Then make open for us, by their truth, an immediate opening, immediate as a wink or sooner.
