Dua Al-Ahd
Dua Al-Ahd (Arabic: دُعَاء ٱلْعَهْد) is an Arabic language allegiance supplication prayer for Hujjat-Allah al-Mahdi, twelfth Imam of Shia Islam.[1] This is also known as Ahad Nama in Asian Country like India, Pakistan. Ja'far al-Sadiq narrates in a hadith regarding the importance of reciting the supplication every morning. He stated that: “If one person read the supplication for 40 mornings, will be considered and accounted as helpers of Imam Mahdi and if he dies before the reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi, Allah will raise him up from the grave.” It is common knowledge that reappearance of al-Mahdi takes place alongside Jesus, in effect, the supplication is to seeking reappearance of al-Mahdi and Jesus. One of the sentences of this supplication is: “O Allah! If my death occurs before his coming, which you have decreed for your servants, then raise me from my grave, wrapped in my shroud, my sword unsheathed, my spear bared, answering the call of the caller in the cities as well as the deserts.”[2][3] In the prayer, the Shia pray to Allah that they see Imam Mahdi in their life and consider his helpers. Also, they beseech Allah to solve the problems of their nation and world with Mahdi's reappearance. At the end the reciter says: “Hasten! Hasten! O my Master, O Master of the era.” This phrase refers to the acceleration in the reappearance of the Mahdi.[4] Arabic text of this supplicationﺑﺴﻢ ﺍﻟﻠﮧ ﺍﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ ﺍﻟﺮﺣﯿﻢ

English Translation of Dua al-Ahd[5] O Allah! Lord of The GREAT Light, Lord of the elevated Throne, Lord of the tumultuous seas and the Revealer of the Tawrah, Injeel and Zaboor, Lord of the shadows and the warmths and the revealer of the Great Quran. Lord of the proximate angels and prophets and messengers. O Allah ! I beseech Thee, for the sake of Your noble visage and Your ever existing kingdom, O ever living O controller! I beseech Thee in Your name, Which lits the heavens and the earths; and in Your name, by which the ancient and the latter ones become upright. O Ever Living who was before every living being. O Ever Living who shall (exist) after every living being. O Ever Living who existed when there was no life. O giver of life to dead. O One who causes death to the living one. O Ever Living, there is no God except Thou. O Allah send blessings to our Master the Leader, the guide. The Guided, the upriser with Your command. Blessings of Allah be on him and his pure forefathers from all the believing man and believing women. In the easts of the earth and its wests, in its plains and its mountains, its lands and its seas, from me and my parents. Blessings which are the weight of Allah's throne and ink of His words, and whatever His knowledge enumerates and his book encompasses. O Allah! Renew for him my covenant, pledge and allegiance in my neck in the morning of this day of mine and whatever days (of my life) I live. I shall never turn away from it nor let it vanish. O Allah appoint me among his helpers, his aides and his protectors. Those who hasten to fulfill his commands and obey his orders. Those who are his supporters and compete with each other to (fulfill) his intention and seek martyrdom in his presence. O Allah! If death occurs between me and him (before the reappearance) (Death) which You have made obligatory and decreed for your servants, then raise me from my grave, wrapped in my shroud, my sword unsheathed, My spear bared, answering the call of the caller of the caller in cities as well as deserts. O Allah! show me the rightly guided face of (Imam (AS)), the praise worthy moon (referring to the face of Imam (AS)) and enlighten my vision by looking at him. hasten his reappearance, make his arrival smooth, vasten his path, make me tread on this way and implement his authority and strengthen his back. O Allah inhabit your cities through him and give life to your servants due to him For surely You have said and Your word is truth, "corruption will become rampant in land and on sea because of the evil which men's hand have earned" Then O Allah manifest for us Your slave and the son of your prophet's daughter, whose name is the same as that of Your messenger, so that nothing from falsehood is victorious except that he tears them (falsehood) to pieces, establishes the truth and the truth confirms him. And O Allah! appoint him as a refuge for your oppressed servants and a helper for the one who does not find any helper for himself except You and the renewer of all the laws of Your book which have been tampered with and the rebuilder of the science of Your religion and the traditions of Your prophet peace of Allah be on him and his progeny And O Allah make him among those whom you have protected from the evils of the adversaries. O Allah! and provide joy to your Prophet Mohammad peace of Allah be on him and his progeny by his vision and (the vision of) the one who follows him on his call. O Allah remove this sorrow (of occultation) from this nation with his presence and hasten for us his reappearance. They (the disbelievers) consider it to be distant while we consider it to be near. For the sake of Your Mercy, O the Most Merciful of all Mercifuls. [Repeat this three times - or as many times as possible] HASTEN ! HASTEN ! O MY MASTER, O MASTER OF THE ERA See alsoReferences
