Duas for Benghazi and the Ansar

I am fearful for the resistance in Libya, that their autonomy maybe too temporary. They may will be overwhelmed by Qaddafi's forces, a particularly nasty branch of which is SAS trained. Its hard to get any fine grained knowledge on the matter. Bahrain too. I pray that the Noble Ansar and Mujahidin are finding ways of doing their thing, on all planes and fronts, with light and metal and that the notorious Khamis brigade becomes inoperable as its members and leaders shoot bent, stand up and cross over.

For those of us on the sidelines Sandala have circulated a recording of this dua, follow its words on the pdf whilst listening.


The Prayer of the Oppressed (mp3 audio)

"This highly potent du’a by the renowned Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Nasir (d. 1674), was recited across Morocco and inspired resistance to the French occupation. So powerful was it as a rallying ...cry of the resistance that the French president issued an order banning its recitation from the mosques. It is appropriate to the present state of the ‘Umma.' "

English translation and arabic (pdf) 

O You to Whose mercy one flees!
You in Whom the one in need and distress seeks refuge!

O Master, You Whose pardon is near!
O You Who help all who call on Him!

We seek Your help, O You who help the weak!
You are enough for us, O Lord!
