Evrad-i Rifa’i
I am including here translations of some Qur'anic passages that are part of the Rifa'i Evrad. I originally had most of the evrad up-- assuming that probably anyone who was reading this probably already had a copy and might be able to help me with the translation/standardized Arabic transliteration project I was embarking on, but a visitor wisely suggested that I probably shouldn't post it without direct permission from Baba. In the meantime however, here are translations of some basic Qur'an passages that are included in it, conveniently in one place to assist people who are already reading it. I am also including the translations of the 99 Names, as they appear on Baba's website. I have left in the descriptions of the Prophets, since these are also standard Islamic invocations.
Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim
Surah Ihlas.
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem
Qul Huw-Allahu Ahad
Allah-us-Samad
Lam yalid wl lam yulad
Wa lam yakul lahu kufuwan ahad
Say: He is Allah, Absolute Oneness,
Allah, the Everlasting Sustainer of all.
He has not given birth and was not born.
And no one is comparable to Him.
Surah Falaq
Bismi-Llahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Tenderly Compassionate, the Infinitely Merciful
Qul a‘udhu bi-Rabbi-l-falaq
Affirm with your whole being, “I seek true refuge with the Lord of perpetually dawning Wisdom
Min sharri ma khalaq
Perfect refuge from all the negativity generated by limited conscious beings,
Wa min sharri ghasiqin idha waqab
With which they darken their consciousness,
Wa min sharri-n-naffathati fi-l-‘uqad
Total refuge from the confusion, magic
Wa min sharri hasidin idha hasad
And obsession they project.”
Surah Nas.
Bismi-Llahi-r-Rahmani-r-Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Tenderly Compassionate, the Infinitely Merciful
Qul a‘udhu bi-Rabbi-n-nas
Affirm with your whole being, “I seek true refuge with the Lord and Lover of humankind,
Maliki-n-nas Ilahi-n-nas
The Sovereign of humankind, the Divine Guide of humankind
Min sharri-l-waswasi-l-khannas
Sure refuge from all the negativity that whispers divisively
Alladhi yuwaswisu fi suduri-n-nas, mina-l-jinnati wa-n-nas
Into the pure heart of humanity and into the hearts of conscious beings on the subtle planes of being.”
Surah Al-Fatiha.
(this is, I believe, the rather floral translation used by Imam Bilal Hyde-- I'll repost soon with the version by Shaykh Noorrudeen Durkee or Laleh Bakhtiar)
Bismillah Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem
Al-hamdu lillahi Rabb il-'alamin
Ar-Rahman Ar-Raheem
Maliki yawmi-d-Din
Iyya-ka na'budu wa iyya-ka nasta'in
Ihdina-sirat al-mustaqim
Sirat al-ladhina an'amta 'alai-him
Ghair il-Maghdubi 'alai -him wa la-d-dallin
We begin in the Name of God,
Everlasting Mercy, Infinite Compassion.
Praise be to God, Loving Lord of all the worlds.
Everlasting Mercy, Infinite Compassion.
Eternal Strength of every living being,
Whose Majestic Power embraces us on the day of the great return.
Only You do we adore, and to You alone do we cry for help.
Guide us, O God, on the path of Perfect Harmony,
the path of those whom You have blessed with the gifts of Peace, Joy, Serenity and Delight,
the path of those who are not brought down by anger,
the path of those who are not lost along the way.
Amin
Surah al-Baqara (1-5)
Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim
Alif Lam Mim
Zalik el-kitabu larayhe fihi huden lil muttekin.
Ellezin yuminune bil gaybi ve yukimunes salare ve mimma rzekna hum yunfikun. Vellezine yuminune bima unzile min kablike ve bil ahiratu hum yukinun ulaike humul muflihun.
Alif-Lam Mim . That high ranked Book (Quran) whereof there is no place of doubt, in it there is guidance to the God-fearing.
Who believe without seeing, and establish prayer and spend in Our path, out of Our provided subsistence.
And who believe in what has been sent down towards you, O beloved prophet! And what has been sent down before you and are convinced of the Last Day. They alone are on the guidance from their Lord and they shall surely triumph.
(Baqara 163)
Ilahikum Ilahun wahidun. La illaha illahu ver Rahman ir Rahim
Your God is one God. There is no god but He, the Compassionate, the Merciful.
Ayat l-Kursi
Allahu La ilaha illa Hu
Allah alone. There is no reality or divinity apart from Him,
Al-Hayyu-l-Qayyum
The Living One, absolutely Self-Manifesting and All-Encompassing.
La ta’khudhuhu sinatu-w-wa la nawm
His Divine Awareness never lapses nor sleeps.
Lahu ma fi-s-samawati wa ma fi-l-ard
All heavenly and earthly planes of being belong solely to Him.
Man dhalladhi yashfa‘u ‘indahu illa bi-idhnih
Who is there who could intercede in His presence, except through His own permission?
Ya‘lamu ma bayna aydihim wa ma khalfahum
He alone knows what causes precede and what results follow from each event.
Wa la yuhituna bi shay’in min ‘ilmihi illa bima sha’a
And human beings can grasp nothing of His Encompassing Divine Knowledge except As He wills.
Wasi‘a kursiyuhu-s-samawati wa-l-ard
The mysterious Throne of His Presence permeates every heavenly and earthly dimension,
Wa la ya’uduhu hifzuhuma
As He effortlessly creates, protects and preserves all manifestation,
Wa Huwa-l-‘Aliyu-l-‘Azim
For He is the Most High, the Supremely Glorious.
Allahuma Salli Ala Saydina Muhammadin Abdike Wa Habibike Wa Resuliken-Nebiyil Ummihi Wa Ala Alihi Wa Sabahi Wa Sellim. (x 2)
