Transliteration: ALLA-HOOMMA INNI AS'ALOKA BE-HAQQIL MAL-AKIL-LAZI QABZAHA WA ASA'LOKA BE-HAQQIN-NA-BI-YIL-LAZI KHAZANAHA WA AS'ALOKA BE-HAQQIL-VASI-YIL-LAZI HALLA FEEHA AN TOSALLI ALA MOHAMMADIN WA AN TAJ'ALIHA SHIFAA.AM MIN KOOLLE DAA'IN WA AMANAM MIN KOOLLE SOO IN.

Oh Allah I bind Thee by that angel who had lifted a handful clay; by the prophet who had preserved it in the bottle, by the vicegerent who lies buried under it and pray Thee to shower Thy blessing on Mohammed and Aale Mohammed and make this pure clay a cure for all diseases, a shield against all fears, and a safeguard against all curses.

Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alteration of the night and the day, there are signs for men who possess wisdom.

Those who remember Allah standing and sitting and reclining on their sides and think (Seriously) in the creation of the heaven and the earth saying ?Our Lord! Thou hast not created (all) this in vain! Glory be to Thee! Save us then from the torment of the (Hell) fire?

O?r lord! whomsoever Thou causeth to enter the (hell) fire, surely Thou hast put him to disgrace; there is not, for the unjust, any of the helpers.

O?r Lord! We have indeed heard the voice of a Crier (Messenger), calling (us) unto faith, saying, "Believe ye in your Lord!" therefore "Forgive us then our sins and remove away from us our evil deeds and cause us to die with the virtuous ones".

O?r Lord! and give us what Thou didst promise us through Thy Prophets, and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection; Verily, Thou breakest not Thy Promise". (Quran 3: 190-194).

Uniqueness and needlessness, from whom no one is born and who is born of no one and who does not have a single partner, look after me and protect me from the mischief of men, my enemies and their swords and put a stop to all types of torture. When God has surrounded them from all sides then where links the danger. Oh Allah do protect me from the danger. Oh Allah do protect me from the mischief of the person who intends harming me, cover me with a veil as is Thy sacred veil which does not let the mischief of band and mad people come near Thee or be hurt by the swords, the iron and all those which ordinarily people are afraid of and keep away from, and all the difficulties and the mischief of all those things which are well known to Thee and on whom Thou hast complete authority. No doubt Thy power encompasses everything. Shower Thy blessing on Thy prophet and his dear and near ones and a greeting, which they have the right of.

Translation of more recommended Dua'a
------------------------------------------------------------

[In the name of Allah and with Allah: in the name of Allah-that which Allah wills (takes place); in the name of Allah- there is no power nor strength save with Allah.
Musa said : What you have brought is sorcery; verily Allah will soon make it vain: verily Allah does not put in order the work of the mischief-makers.
Thus the truth was established, and what they were doing was made vain.
So there and then (Firawn and his enchanters) were defeated and made to look small, humiliated]

------------------------------------------------------------

[I take refuge (to seek protection from the evil threatening me) with the might of Allah, the power of Allah, the strength of Allah, the greatness of Allah, the demonstration of Allah, the sovereignty of Allah, the assistance of Allah, the security of Allah, the amnesty of Allah, the shield of Allah, the kindness of Allah, the pride of Allah, the attention of Allah, the beauty of Allah, the grandeur of Allah, the perfection of Allah-there is no god save Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah]

------------------------------------------------------------

[There is no god save He. I rely on Him. He is the Lord of the great a'rsh. What He wills takes place; and what He does not will does not take place. I bear witness that, verily, Allah, has power over all things: and, verily, Allah encompasses every thing in (His) knowledge, O my Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil inside me and from the evil of every creature whom You seizes with its forelock. Verily my lord is on the right path]

------------------------------------------------------------

[Verily your Lord is Allah who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself on the throne. He draws the night as a veil over the day, which pursues it incessantly; and made the sun and the moon and the stars subservient to His command. Verily, His is the creation and the command. Blessed be Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
Call on your Lord humbly and in secret. Verily Allah does not love the transgressors.
And do not make mischief in the earth after it has been reformed; and call on Him fearing (His wrath) and longing (his mercy). Verily the mercy of Allah is near to those who do good]

------------------------------------------------------------
[(Allah) said : "We will strengthen your arm with your brother and we will give you such authority that they will not be able to touch and of you. With our signs, both of you and your followers shall certainly triumph"]

------------------------------------------------------------
[O my Allah - the Lord of Musa, when He particularly selected to honour him with His spoken words. He routed those who teased Musa with their (tricks of) magic, with the help of his rod (granted to Musa by Allah) . He transformed (the rod) into a serpent. And again brought it back to its original state, after it destroyed the work of the magicians and rendered ineffective the deceit of the mischief makers - whosoever tries to harm me with magic or affliction, intentionally or unintentionally, whether I know about it or not, whether it frightens me or not, cut off his (evil) designs with the help of divine medium, so that it does not reach me and never carried out to hurt me or terrorize me. Verily, I ward off, with the help of your greatness, the threats of my enemies. So protect me with the best protection and make it thoroughly effective. O liberal giver]

[In the name of Allah I give you in protection (of Allah) from every thing that pains you, from every thing and the (evil) eye, self-indulgence and the jealous. In the name of Allah I give you in protection (of Allah) Allah is the greatest, and His might is the mightiest]

------------------------------------------------------------

[In the name of Allah, with Allah, from Allah, unto Allah, and in the way of Allah; O Allah, I surrender myself to You, I direct myself towards You, I entrust my affairs to You, so keep me safe, with the preservation of belief, from in front of me, from behind me, from my right side, from my left side, from above me, from below me, and repel (evil) from me with Your strength and power, because, verily, there is no strength and no power save with Allah, the high, the great]

[Allah is sufficient and satisfying for me. Allah hears (the call of) whosoever calls (Him). There is no one (and nothing) as the ultimate save Allah]

(i) [Then they went their way till they embarked in a boat in which he made a hole (and Musa) said; you have made a hole in it to down its passengers. Verily you have done a strange thing]

(ii) [Have not those who disbelieve seen that the heavens and the earth were closed up, and that We clove them as under? Out of water we made all things alive. Will they not then believe.]

(iii) [Muhammad is the messenger of Allah: and those who are with him are severe against infidels but compassionate among themselves. You see them bowing and prostrating, seeking His grace and pleasure. Their mark is on their faces (foreheads) from the effect of prostrations. Their description in the Tawrat, and their description in the Injil, is like a seed that sends out a stalk, then strengthens it, and it becomes stout and rises firm on its stem, delighting the sowers, in order to fill the disbelievers with rage. Allah has promised those who believe and do good deeds forgiveness and a great recompense.]

OR

(2) (i) [We built the heavens with might, and verily We are the Lord of power and expanse]

(ii) [We spread the earth (like a carpet) - an excellent spreader (We are)]

I give you in the custody of your Lord; I give you in the protection of He (who will keep you safe) from the evil of whosoever envies you, be he standing or sitting, from (the evil of) every creature lying in wait at the turn of any road, so that he may neither harm you in wakefulness, nor in sleep, nor while walking nor at the destination, as long as nights and days follow each other. The hand of Allah may restrain their hands and the protection of Allah may over power their hostility.]

(ii) [O my Allah, I beseech You in the name of the rights of Muhammad and the children of Muhammad to send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad and free me (from whatever affliction that has surrounded me)]
[O my God; when you gave me any bounty, I did not thank you as I should have; whenever You tested me with a trial I did not manage it with the patience I should have.
O He who did not deprive me of (favour) inspite of my too little thanks. O He who did not withhold assistance inspite of my very deficient self control. O He who saw my wrongdoings yet did not disgrace me: O He who saw my shortcomings yet did not punish me; send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, forgive my sins, cure my diseases; verily, You have power over all things.]

[O Ever living, O self-subsisting, I beseech (You) in the name of Your mercy to help me. So help me and do not leave me to myself even for the flash of an eye(without you being with me), and look after properly all my affairs.]

[I put myself, my children, my family, my property under (Allah's protection ) in the name of Allah's perfected words, from all devils, poisonous animals, and from every evil eye.]

Khak E Shifa
(The Earth of Karbala)

There are several ahadith (traditions) in Tufatuz Za-ir, Safinatun Najat and Mafatihun Najat that the earth of Karbala (from the precinct of the resting place of Imam Husayn), known as khak shifa, cures every ailment save the deadly disease (by which death has been decreed).

lmam Jafar bin Muhammad as Sadiq said:

At the time of eating khak shifa [for picking and holding it see (ii) below] for curing a disease say:

In the name of Allah, for Allah, O Allah, the Lord of this sacred, helpful earth, the Lord of the light which is in it, the Lord of the body which is resting in it, the Lord of the guardian angels, let it cure my disease (mention the name of the disease, then kiss the earth and eat it with some water and continue), O Allah let this pure earth be a source of abundant means of livelihood, useful knowledge and a remedy for all (my) pains and ailments
BISMILLAAHI WA BILLAAHI ALLAAHUMMA RABBA HAAD'IHIT TURBATIL MUBAARAKATIZ' Z'AAHIRATI WA RABBAN NOORIL LAD'EE UNZILA FEEHI WA RABBAL JASADIL LAD'EE SAKANA FEEHI WA RABBAL MALAA-IKATIL MUWAKKI LEENA BIHI JA'ALHO SHIFAA-AN MIN DAA-IN
(mention the name of the disease, then kiss the earth and eat it with some water and continue)

ALLAAHUMMAJ-A'LHU RIZQAN WAASI -A'N WA I 'LMAN NAAFI--A'N WA SHIFAA-AN MIN KULLI DAA- IN WA SUQMIN

It is also mentioned in some books that the lmam had said that the earth should not be more than a seed of grain.

lmam Jafar bin Muhammad al Sadiq said:

Before picking khak shifa recite:

In the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, O Allah I beseech You in the name of this earth, in the name of the angel who has gathered it, in the name of the prophet who made it free from anything impure, in the name of (his) vicegerent who stayed here, send blessings on Muhammad and on his family, and let this earth cure and heal all my ailments and keep me safe from all fears.

Then lmam also said:

When you have picked khak shifa recite:

Surah al Fatihah, Surah Ya Sin, Surah al Qadr, Surah Al Kafirun, Surah al Ikhlas, Surah al Falaq, Surah al Nas & Ayatal Kursi

And the following dua:

O Allah, in the name of Muhammad, Your servant, Your dearest friend. Your prophet, Your messenger, Your trustee; in the name of Amir aI Mumeneen Ali ibn Abi Talib, Your servant, brother of Your messenger; in the name of Fatimah, daughter of Your Prophet and wife of Your Wali; in the name of Hasan and Husayn, in the name of the rightly guided guides; in the name of the guardian angel; in the name of the body covered by it; in the name of all angels and messengers, make this earth cure my disease and also of those who beseech You for removal of ailments, pains, diseases; and keep me (and all the beseechers) protected from all fears. O Allah, for the sake of Muhammad and his family, let this (earth) give me useful knowledge, abundant means of livelihood, let it cure my pains and diseases, let it keep me safe from misfortunes; injuries, all kinds of pains. Verily You have power over all things. O Allah, the Lord of this sacred, blessed earth and the angel who descended on it and the vicegerent who is resting under it, send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, and let it help me and benefit me. Verily You have power over all things.
