Dua of Friday

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم أَلْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الاَوَّلِ قَبْلَ الانْشآءِ وَالاحْيآءِ، وَالاخِرِ بَعْدَ فَنآءِ الاَشْيَآءِ، الْعَلِيمِ الَّذِي لا يَنْسَى مَنْ ذَكَرَهُ، وَلا يَنْقُصُ مَنْ شَكَرَه، وَلا يُخَيِّبُ مَنْ دَعاهُ، وَلا يَقْطَعُ رَجآءَ مَنْ رَجاهُ. أَللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ وَكَفى بِكَ شَهِيداً، وَأُشْهِدُ جَمِيعَ مَلائِكَتِكَ، وَسُكَّانَ سَمواتِكَ، وَحَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ، وَمَنْ بَعَثْتَ مِنْ أَنْبِيآئِكَ وَرُسُلِكَ وَأَنْشَأْتَ مِنْ أَصْنافِ خَلْقِكَ، أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إلهَ إلاَّ أَنْتَ، وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ، وَلا عَدِيلَ وَلا خُلْفَ لِقَوْلِكَ وَلا تَبْدِيْلَ، وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِهِ عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ، أَدَّى ما حَمَّلْتَهُ إلَى الْعِبادِ، وَجاهَدَ فِي اللَّهِ عزّوجل حَقَّ الْجِهادِ، وَأَنَّهُ بَشَّرَ بِما هُوَ حَقٌّ مِنَ الثَّوابِ، وَأَنْذَرَ بِما هُوَ صِدْقٌ مِنَ الْعِقابِ. أَللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنِي عَلى دِينِكَ ما أَحْيَيْتَنِي، وَلا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ إذْ هَدَيْتَنِي، وَهَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً، إنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ، صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَتْباعِهِ وَشِيعَتِهِ وَاحْشُرْنِي فِي زُمْرَتِهِ وَوَفِّقْنِي لاَداءِ فَرْضِ الْجُمُعاتِ، وَما أَوْجَبْتَ عَلَيَّ فِيها مِنَ الطَّاعاتِ، وَقَسَمْتَ لاِهْلِها مِنَ الْعَطآءِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجَزآءِ، إنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ.

In the Name of God, the All-merciful, the All-compassionate All Praise belongs to God, the First before the bringing forth and the giving of life, and the Last after the annihilation of all things, the All-knowing who forgets not him who remembers Him, decreases not him who thanks Him, disappoints not him who supplicates Him, and cuts not off the hope of him who hopes in Him! O God, I call Thee to witness and Thou art sufficient witness – and I call to witness all Thy angels, the inhabitants of Thy heavens, the bearers of Thy Throne, Thy prophets and Thy messengers whom Thou hast sent out, and the various kinds of creatures Thou hast brought forth, that I bear witness that Thou art God; there is no god but Thou, Thou alone, who hast no associate nor any equal, and Thy word has no failing, nor any change; and that Muhammad (God bless him and his Household) is Thy servant and Thy messenger; he delivered to the servants that with which Thou charged him, he struggled for God as is His due, he gave the good news of the truth of reward, and he warned of the veracity of punishment. O God, make me firm in Thy religion as long as Thou keepest me alive, make not my heart to swerve after Thou hast guided me, and give me mercy from Thee, surely Thou art the Giver. Bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, make me one of his followers and his partisans, muster me in his band, and give me the success of accomplishing the obligatory observance of Friday, performing the acts of obedience which Thou has made incumbent upon me within it, and [receiving] the bestowal which Thou hast apportioned for its people on the Day of Recompense! Surely Thou art Mighty, All-wise!
