Preface:
Ali ibn Husayn (Arabic: عليبنالحسين ) known as
Zayn al-Abidin (the adornment of the
worshippers) and Imam al-Sajjad (The
Prostrating Imam), was the fourth Shiite
imam, after his father Husayn, his uncle
Hasan, and his grandfather Ali—
Muḥammad’s son-in-law.Ali ibnul Husayn
survived the Battle of Karbala and was taken,
along with enslaved women, to the caliph in
Damascus. He and his sister Zaynab made
such bravely and disclosing speeches which
changed the atmosphere and Yazid had to
express remorse and return him and his
family respectfully to Medina . As the stifling
political atmosphere at his age didn’t let him
to communicate freely with the people and
propagate Islamic teaching ,he devoted his
life and statements entirely to mystical and

Some excerpts ofAl-Sahifah Al-Sajjadiyyah
religious teachings, mostly in the form of
invocations and supplications . He is called
Sayyed al SSajedin and Zayn alabedin as a
result of his long prostration and his pure
worshipping Allah . His famous collection of
supplications is known as Al-Sahifa al-
Sajjadiyya .i
Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya contains 83
supplications, and during Hajj we may have
not enough time to read all the supplications
thoroughly or carry the complete book
everywhere , since this collection is smaller
and easier to carry and it contains the
supplications which in that period of time is at
the center of every pilgrim surely can help
how to invocate God better and enjoy
intimate invocation.
Some considerations about choosing the
supplications;
6. 6
Some excerpts ofAl-Sahifah Al-Sajjadiyyah
1. Effort was made to choose the ones
which everybody need or like to
invocate in that opportunity about
those subjects: for example about the
parents ,children or for the day of
Arafa.
2. Effort was made as much as possible
to select the parts which most
probably do not lose their complete
meaning while being isolated from
other parts.
3. Numbers preceding each supplication
refer to the original in Sahifah al
Sajjadiyyah.

Indeed, who?
Thou art too blessed to be described by any
but beneficence
and too generous for any but justice to be
feared from Thee!
There is no dread that Thou wilt be unjust
toward him who disobeys Thee,
nor any fear of Thy neglecting to reward
him who satisfies Thee.2
So bless Muhammad and his Household,
give me my hope,
and increase me in that of Thy guidance

through other than which Thou wilt not be
pleased for him,
and for which Thou seest no one else worthy!

Some excerpts ofAl-Sahifah Al-Sajjadiyyah
66- O God,
this is the Day of 'Arafa,
a day which Thou hast made noble, given
honour, and magnified.
Within it Thou hast spread Thy mercy,
showed kindness through Thy pardon,
and made plentiful Thy giving,
and by it Thou hast been bounteous toward
Thy servants.

included within Thy party,
and directed aright to befriend Thy friends
and show enmity to Thine enemies.

disavowing
and him who seeks refuge in Thy forgiveness
while repenting!
