Ḥizb al-Luṭf

حزب اللطف

Clause 19 of 46 · Gentleness that reaches everything

إِلٰهَنَا لَطَفْتَ بِنَا قَبْلَ كَوْنِنَا وَنَحْنُ لِلُّطْفِ غَيْرُ مُحْتَاجِينَ أَفَتَمْنَعُنَا مِنْهُ مَعَ الْحَاجَةِ إِلَيْهِ وَأَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

Our God, You were gentle with us before we came to be, when we had no need of gentleness. Will You hold it back from us now that we need it, when You are the most merciful of the merciful?

Ilāhanā laṭafta binā qabla kawninā wa-naḥnu li-l-luṭfi ghayru muḥtājīna a-fa-tamnaʿunā minhu maʿa l-ḥājati ilayhi wa-anta arḥamu r-rāḥimīn
