Salam
Last Ramadan when Shaykh Khalid Turkestani from Mecca visited the UK to teach in Ramadan, he taught us the following dua at the time of Iftar. He mentioned that he learnt it from his teacher Shaykh Muhammad bin Alawi al-Maliki when the Sayyid and his students would sit together to break the fast, repeating the basic formula of this dua together for some time preceding the iftar itself.
Sh Turkestani kindly sent the following recording as a reminder of what to recite, which I have attempted to transliterate and quickly translate to give an idea of the meaning.
The Sayyid (Allah have mercy on him) use to say:
Ashadu an la ilaha illalah nastaghfirullah
I bear witness that there is no god except Allah, we seek Allah’s forgiveness
Nasaluk Allahummal jannata wa naudhubika min an nar
O Allah, we ask you for Paradise and seek refuge in You from the Fire
Ya Adheem Ya Adheem ighfiri dhanb al-adheem
O Great One (Allah); O Great One (Allah); forgive the enormous acts of disobedience
Fainnahu la yaghfiru dhanb al-adheem illal adheem
For no one forgives enormous acts of disobedience except the Great One (Allah)
La ilaha illalah nastaghfirullah
there is no god except Allah, we seek Allah’s forgiveness
Nasaluk Allahummal jannata wa naudhubika min an nar
O Allah, we ask you for Paradise and seek refuge in You from the Fire
Thank you for the wonderful post. If possible, can you add the Arabic text as well?
