Du'aa Makarimul Akhlaq (The Honorable Morals)
This Du'a has been taught by our fourth Imam (a) and is a clear indication of the loftiness of moral virtues expected of a believer. Islam believes in the elevation of the human being, that a human is a great and dignified creation, far above the animal world. One of the signs of this dignity is the possession of noble and magnanimous qualities.
In order to achieve this behavioural excellence, man needs to overcome his base and selfish attributes, and cultivate noble qualities. In this Du"a the Imam specifies these qualities, and shows how we can try to inculcate them in ourselves. Taken as a lesson in Akhlaq, the Du'a is a wonderful program for those who wish to excel in good manners.
"The most complete in faith among the believers is he who has the best manners." [Holy Prophet (s)]
"Habituate yourself to magnanimity, and choose for yourself the most excellent of all etiquettes, for virtuous behaviour is a habit. Avoid the most low of all etiquettes, and struggle with yourself to avoid it, for evil is stubborn." [Imam Ali (a)]
The following is Du`a #20 in AlSaheefat AlSajjadiyyah.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
O Allah,
bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
Raise my faith to reach the most perfect faith,
and make my conviction to be the most excellent of convictions.
Make my intentions to be the best of intentions,
and my actions to be the best of actions.
O Allah,
increase my (good) intentions, through Your Grace,
Improve my conviction, through what is with You,
and reform what is corrupt in me, through Your power.
O Allah,
bless Muhammad and his family.
Be sufficient for me in that which occupies me,
Employ me in those deeds about which
You will ask me tomorrow,
Let me pass my days in that (work) for which
You have created me.
Free me from need,
and increase Your sustenance for me
but try me not with discontent.
Let me be honored
but do not afflict me with arrogance.

Make me worship You
but do not let my worship be corrupted by conceit.
Let good flow out from my hands for people,
but do not let me erase it by making them feel obliged.
Grant me the highest moral traits,
but protect me from vanity.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
Raise me not a single degree with people
unless You have lowered me an equal amount,
whithin myself.
Let there not occur any outward honor for me,
unless there has occured an inner degradation
of an equal amount, whithin myself.
O Allah bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
Make me enjoy:
a righteous guidance which I do not seek to change.
a path of truth from which I do not deviate
a wellguided intention which I do not doubt.
Let me live so long as my life is spent in Your obedience,
But when my life becomes a breeding ground for Shaytan
then take me to You,
before Your wrath advances towards me
or Your anger becomes firm on me.
O Allah, do not leave in me:
a faulty characteristic, unless You have reformed it,
a blameworthy flaw, unless You have improved it,
nor a deficient noble quality
unless You have perfected it.

Replace for me;
the enimity of the people of hatred with love,
the jealousy of the rebellious people with affection,
the suspicion of the virtuous people with confidence
the eneimity of the close ones with friendship,
the disrespect of relatives to devotion,
the desertion of the close ones with help,
the attachment of flatterers with reformed regard,
the rejection of associates with good behaviour,
and the bitterness of the fear of oppressors
with the sweetness od security.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
Give me,
a hand (power) over one wrongs me,
a tongue over one who disputes with me,
and a victory over one who stubbornly resists me.
Grant me,
craftiness against one who deceives me,
power over one who oppresses me,
refutation of one who accuses me falsely,
and safety from one who threatens me.
Give me the success to,
obey one who directs me to what is proper
and follow one who guides me to what is right.

counter one who is dishonest to me with good advice,
reward one who forsakes me with goodness,
repay one who deprives me with free giving,
and recompense one who cuts me off with union,

O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
adorn me with the adornment of the righteous,
and clothe me with the ornament of the pious, in;
spreading justice, restraining anger,
quenching the fire of hate, reuniting the separated,
correcting differences between men,
spreading good behaviour, covering faults,
mildness of temper,
lowering the wing (of humility), beauty of conduct,
calmness of dispossition, pleasantness in relationships
advancing towards excellence,
preferring graciousness
avoiding condemnation,
being gracious to the undeserving ,
speaking the truth though difficult,
making little of the good in my words and deeds
though it be much,
and making much of the evil in my words and deeds
though it be little.
Perfect these for me through,
a continous obedience,
an attachment to the community,
and by rejecting the people of innovation
and those whose who act on their own opinions.

O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
Grant me,
the most increase in Your sustenance when I am old,
and Your strongest strength when I am exhausted.
Do not afflict me with,
laziness in Your worship,
blindness from Your path,
indulging in what is contrary to (winning) Your love,
joining one who has separated himself from You,
and separating from one who has joined himself to You.
O Allah make me,
run towards You in times of stress
and ask from You in times of need,
and plead to You in times of poverty.
Do not try me with,
seeking help from other than You when I am distressed
humbling myself in asking other than You
whenI am in need
nor pleading with other than You when I am afraid.
Lest I should deserve
Your abandonement, Your denial ,
and Your turning away,
O most merciful.
O Allah, make what Shaytan throws into my heart,
of desires, susupicion, and envy,be ( a cause of)
rememberance of Your might
pondering over Your power,
and a planning agaist Your enemy.
Make what he (shaytan) makes me utter,
of indecent, and obscene words,
reviling a good reputation, false evidence
speaking ill of an absent believer,
or abusing one who is present,
and other similar things,
(let all this)be a speech in Your praise,
an absorption in glorifying You,
an excursion in magnifying You

O Allah, take to Yourself, from my soul

And leave for my soul that of my soul

You are my shelter when I am sad,

So be kind to me by;
wellbeing before affliction
bounty before asking
and right conduct before misguidance.
Suffice me against the burden of shame to the servants
and grant me safety on the day of return,
and favour me with the best of guidance.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
ward away (evil) from me, by Your gentleness,
feed me through Your favour,
reform me through Your generosity,
heal me through Your goodness
shade me in Your shelter,
and wrap me in Your plasure.

do not try me with abundance (of wealth),
grant me excellent comfort,
do not make my life a continuous trouble
do not reject my prayer in repulsion,
for I do not make anyone Your rival,
nor do I call upon anyone asYour equal.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
prevent me from extravagance,
preserve my sustenance from waste,
increase my possessions through blessing them,
set me upon the path of guidance
through piety in what I spend.
O Allah bless Muhammad and his family,
spare me the burden of earning
and provide for me without measure,
so that the sekking (of sustenance)
should not distract me from Your worship,
nor (would I have to) bear the load of illresults of earning.

O Allah, grant me what I seek, through Your power,
and protect me from what I fear, through Your might.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
guard my face (honour) through prosperity,
do do not disgrace my dignity through neediness,
lest I seek providence from those whom You have provided,
and ask for bestowal from the worst of Your creatures.
Then I would be tempted tp praise he who gave me,
and afflicted with blaming he who denies me,
while You, not they, are the Master of giving and denying.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
provide me with
soundness in worship
and detachment in renunciation
knowledge in practise
and piety , on the whole.
O Allah, seal my term with Your pardon
verify my hope in expecting Your mercy,
ease my path to reach Your pleasure,
and make my actions good in all circumstances.
O Allah, bless Muhammad and his family,
alert me to Your rememberance in times of negligence,
employ me in Your obedience in the days of respite,
clarify for me an easy path to Your love
and complete for me, through this
the good of the world and the hereafter.
