The thunderous call of the oppressed

O God, O Judge of the Day of Judgment, O He from whom nothing is hidden on earth or in heaven, O He who knows the secret and what is more hidden, O Strong, O Compeller, O Mighty, O Subduer:


O Allah, I am your oppressed servant. My rope has been cut, my paths have become narrow, and I have found no door other than Your door, nor any support other than Your side. So here I am, raising my complaint to You, pouring out my secret thoughts to You, and calling upon You as one who has no power or strength except through You.


O Allah, grant me victory over those who have wronged me. O Allah, make his injustice a calamity for him, and his evil his destruction. O Allah, show me the wonders of Your power over him, and let him taste the bitterness of oppression as he made me taste it, and the humiliation of disgrace as he humiliated me. O Allah, do not leave anyone standing for him on earth, nor anyone merciful in heaven.


O God, if they have acted arrogantly with their power, then act arrogantly against them with Your power. If they have fortified themselves with their strength, then show them that Your power is greater, that Your authority is higher, and that Your might is stronger. O God, make them an example for those who reflect, a sign for those who watch, and a disgrace for all to witness.


O Allah, heal my chest with Your victory, and gladden my eyes with Your justice, and replace my oppression with honor and victory, and my subjugation with elevation and virtue. O Allah, make me honorable in the eyes of the people, and make me and them humiliated. O Allah, make my end one of forgiveness and approval from You, and their end one of shame and loss.


O Allah, You are sufficient for us, and You are the best Disposer of affairs. You are the best Master and the best Supporter.
