Chapter IX: Zikr and Invocations

Invocation of Prophet Abraham: O God, this a new creation.
Open it on me on account of my allegiance to Thee and end it with Thy pardon and pleasure. Give me rewards therein and accept it from me. Purify it, make it weak for me and forgive me the evils I commit in it. Thou art forgiving, merciful, magnificent and beloved.

Invocation of Prophet Jesus Christ: O God, I have risen at dawn. I am unable to remove what I dislike, I am unable to get benefit of what I like. Affairs are in Thy hand, but I rise at dawn by mortgage of my actions O God, there is none more needy than me. O God, let not my enemy be glad over me, let not my friend think bad of me. Don't give trouble in my religion, don't make my eaTthly anxiety great and don't entrust me to those who will not show kindness on me, O Ever living, Eternal.

Invocation of Khizr: In the name of God, with the will of God, there is no might and strength except in God and what He wills.
Every gift is from God what He wills. All good is in His hand what He wills. Nobody but God removes evils.

Invocation of Prophet Adam: O God, Thou knowest my secret and open matters, so accept my excuse. Thou knowest my necessities, so accept my invocation. Thou knowest what is in my mind. So forgive my sins. O God, I seek from Thee faith giving good news to my mind and true sure faith till I know that nothing may afflict me except what Thou hast recorded against me and what Thou hast allotted to me, O possessor of glory and honour.
