Du' alIftitah was taught by our twelfth Imam (a) for Shi'as to recite every night during the month of Ramadhan. The Du'a is excellent for moulding man's attitude towards his Creator as it discusses many aspects of the wretchedness of the human being, and the Grace of Allah.The Du'a can be divided into two parts:
1)Man's relationship with Allah.
2) Divine leaders.
The first section of the Du'a describes different qualities of Allah, and reveals the graciousness and love of Allah for the human being. This section of the Du'a can further be divided into the following parts:
a) Praise of Allah. As is the etiquette of Du'a, Du'a alIftitah begins with the praise and glorification of Allah. This is not because Allah needs to be praised before He answers our Du'as, but to remind the supplicant of the Supreme Being he is addressing, and consequently put the awe of Allah into hearts which are often heedless.
The beginning of the Du'a also places the supplicant between hope and fear, the ideal attitude while praying. Allah is most merciful, but is also severe in punishment. Humans are not to despair, nor to be too confident butconstantly strive in His way.
b) Emphasis on the Oneness of Allah. Allah has no partner nor son, and has complete, undivided power and control over creation. The inhabitants of theskies and the heavens depend on Him.This is to strengthen reliance of the supplicant on Allah, as there is none else he can turn to.
c) The Generosity of Allah. The treasures of Allah do not cease, and are always liberally bestowed on His creatures. The needs of the human beings are enormous, and by placing open the door of Du'a, Allah has given them the keys to His treasures. His doors are always open, and no supplication to Him is rejected without some answer.
But man is often ungrateful, and always greedy. He expects that his du'as will always be immediately granted. When such gratification is not forhtcoming, he turns away, instead of reminding himself of all the favours he enjoys.
d) Relationship of Allah and the human being. A strange relationship indeed! Although it is the human who needs Allah, and should strive towrds Him, it is Allah who invites and encourages him to come, who shows love and mercy and continues to favour him in many ways. As the 4th Imam says in Du'a e Abu Hamza Shimali: Praise be to Allah who answers me when I call Him, although I am reluctant when he calls me, and Praise is for Allah who gives me when I ask Him, although I am miserly when he asks me. This is worth pondering over for those who think of Allah as a tyrannical master imposing His rules over humans.
This section of the Du'a is an excellent lesson in the Islamic view point of the qualities of Allah. The God of Islam is a loving, gracious God who treats the human being better than he deserves. The root of the relationship between Allah and man is the love of the Creator for His creatures. It is on man to search his heart for a reciprocal response.
The second section of the Du'a send blessings on the Holy Prophet (s) and the M'asumeen, and then discusses the role of the twelfth Imam (a).
a) Salawat on the Prophet(s). After faith in Allah, the next most important part of religion is faith in His sent ones. Thus after acknowledging the greatness and graciousness of the creator, the Du'a teaches us to acknowledge the Divine leaders as our guides towards Him. Blessings are sent to the Prophet (s) as a sign of love and appreciation for the Prophet (s) and as an acknowledgement that he is a human being and needs mercy and blessings from Allah. It also strengthens rememberance of the Prophet (s) and the inspiration to follow his path.
b) Blessings on the M'asumeen. After the Holy Prophet (s), his successors are remebered and prayed for. These are the true leaders of the Muslim Ummah who were Divinely appointed by Allah. Belief in them, and love for them, is an important part of the Shi'a faith.
c) Role of the Twelfth Imam (a). In every era Allah has His representative who guides His creatures towards establishing truth and justice on earth. The Twelfth Imam is the leader of our time, who will come and Allah's religion on earth. The last part of Du'a alIftitah talks about his coming, preparing believers for the anticipated establishment of the rule of Allah on earth.
Praying for help and victory for the twelfth Imam reminds us that we are waiting for him, and need to prepare for his coming. We become aware of our responsibilities in his ghaybat, and the importance of training ouselves as his helpers. We pray for the ultimate dream of a Muslim, a state in which the religion of Allah is paramount, and disbelief and hypocrisy are degraded.
Du'a alIftitah reminds us that both faith and action are necessary to be a true believer. Faith in Allah entails acting on His message brought by His messenger, and establishing His religion on earth. While that can only be done through the Imam, we should work and pray for his arrival. Human beings can only enjoy true justice and peace, and a fulfilment of all their needs, under the leadership of a Divine leader.
Du'a alIftitah is not only a supplication for our needs, but a teaching of the roots of faith, and a planning for a way of life. It remains on us to plot the chart of our life as we recite this beautiful du'a during the nights of Ramadhan.

In the name of Allah, the Benenficent, the Merciful.
O Allah send Your blessings on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
O Allah, I begin glorifying You with Your Praise
You direct towards what is right through Your Grace
I am convinced that You are the most Merciful in matters of forgiveness and mercy
but most severe in matters of warning and retribution
and the most mighty in matters of power and magnificence.
O Allah You have allowed me to supplicate to You and ask from You
Then hear my praise O One who hears all
and answer my call O Merciful
and decrease my mistakes O most Forgiving
How often, O my God, You have relieved me of troubles
how many griefs You have dispelled
how many mistakes You have prevented
how many blessings You have spread
and how many series of afflictions You have separated
All Praise is for Allah who has not taken a wife nor a son
who has no partner in His Kingdom
who has no friend to protect Him from humiliation
so magnify Him with a great Magnificnace

O Allah I ask You a little from much
although I am in great need of it
while You are eternally needless of it
though it is a lot for me
while it is easy and simple for You.

O Allah, indeed Your forgiveness of my sins
and Your overlooking my faults
Your pardoning my oppression
Your hiding my ugly deeds
and Your forbearing my many wrongs
done intentionally or unintentionally
tempted me to ask from You
what I did not deserve from You
which You (still) gave me out of Your Mercy
provided me by Your Power
and made known to me from Your answers.
So I became habituated to call You trustingly
and ask You familiarly
neither fearing nor scared
but with confidence in You for what I intended
Then if there was a delay (in Your answer)
I would blame You, due to my ignorance
and perhaps the delay was best for me
for You know the outcome of all affairs.
I have not seen a more generous master
patient with a wretched slave than You are with me
My Lord, You call me and I turn away from You
You show affection to me and I show hatred towards You
You display Your love for me and I do not respond
as though I am above You
But this does not prevent You from having mercy on me
being good to me
and favouring me, through Your Generosity and Nobility
so please (continue to) have mercy on your ignorant slave
and be kind to him through the excellence of Your Grace

Surely You are the Bountiful, the Generous.
All Praise is for Allah
The Owner of the Kingdom
who makes the ships sail,
controls the wind,
causes the dawn to break,
is the authority on the Day of Judgement,
the Lord of the worlds.
All Praise is for Allah
for His patience despite His knowledge.
All Praise is for Allah
for His forgiveness despite His power.
All Praise is for Allah
for the lengthy respite He gives despite His anger,
though He has the power to do as He wills.
All Praise is for Allah
the creator of all creation,
the provider of plentiful sustenance,
the cleaver of the dawn,
possessor of Glory and Honor,
and Excellence and Blessings,
who is far and thus cannot be seen,
but is close and thus witnesses secret conversations,
Blessed and Exalted be His name.
All Praise is for Allah
who has no equal who argues with Him
nor anyone similar to Him
nor any Helper to support Him
He overpowers the mighty by His strength
the great humble themselves before His tremendousness,
He accomplishes what He wishes through His power

All Praise is for Allah
who answers me when I call Him
covers all my faults yet I disobey Him
increases His bounties on me
but I do not acknowledge them.
How many pleasant gifts He has given me
how many great fears He has removed
how many delightful joys He has shown me
Thus I glorify Him, thanking Him
and I remember Him with praise.
All praise is for Allah
whose curtains cannot be opened
whose doors cannot be locked
who does reject the one who asks Him
and who does not disappoint the one who places hope in Him.
All Praise is for Allah
who provides safety for the frightened
rescues the virtuous
raises the oppressed
humiliates the proud
destroys kings
and replaces them with others.
All Praise is for Allah, who crushes the tyrants
annihilates the oppressors
watches over the runaways
punishes the oppressors
assists those who cry for help
grants the requests of the beseechers
and is the confidence of the believers.

the one who will rise
the one hoped for, the awaited justice.
Surround him with Your favourite angels
and assist him with the holy spirit
O Lord of the worlds.
O Allah, appoint him to invite towards Your book
to establish Your religion
make him the successor on the earth
as You caused others to succed before him
establish for him his religion which You have approved for him
give him security after fear
(so) he worships You and does not associate any with You.
O Allah, give him power and through him strengthen (others)
help him and help (others) through him
help him with a mighty help
give him an easy victory
and grant him an assisting authority from You.
O Allah, make manifest through him Your religion
and the way of Your Prophet
until nothing from the truth remains hidden
from any human being.
O Allah, we earnestly desire from You
an honored state
through which You strengthen Islam and its people
and degrade hypocricy and its followers.
And make us in it
amongst the inviters towards Your obedience
and the leaders to Your parh
give us through it
honor of the world and the Hereafter.

O Allah, what You have made known to us of the truth
help us bear it
and what we fall short
make us reach it.
O Allah, through him
put order in our affairs
gather and unite our flocks
join together our separations
increase our minority
lift us from degradation
relieve our miseries
pull us out of our debts
remove our poverty
fill the gaps in our confusion
ease our difficulties
brighten our faces
free our prisoners
grant our requests
fulfil our promises
answer our calls
grant us our requests
cause us to obtain what we hope for
from this world and the hereafter
and give us more than our expectations.
O the best of all who are asked
and the most generous of bestowers
through him, cleanse our chests
remove the stains of anger and hatred from our hearts
and guide us to the truth on disputed matters
By Your permission
Surely You guide whom You wish to the right path
through him help us to overcome Your enemy
and our enemy
O God of truth, Ameen.

O Allah, we complain to You
of the absence of our Prophet
Your blessings be on him and his family,
the concealment of our leader
the abundance of our enemies
the scarcity of our numbers
the severity of our trials
and the victory of the era aginst us.
So bless Muhammad and his family
and help us overcome that by,
granting us an immediate victory
dispersing miseries
giving us a help that strengthens
providing an authority of truth which You manifest
a mercy from You which is clear to us
and a wellbeing from You which clothes us
by Your mercy O most merciful.
