Meeting an enemy or a powerful ruler
Meeting an enemy or a powerful ruler: 3 supplications in Arabic with English translation and sources, from the Fortress of the Muslim (Hisn al-Muslim).
دعاء لقاء العدو و ذي السلطان
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَجْعَلُكَ فِي نُحُورِهِم، وَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ.
O Allah, we place You before them and we seek refuge in You from their evil.
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ عَضُدِي، وَأَنْتَ نَصِيرِي، بِكَ أَحُولُ وَبِكَ أَصُولُ، وَبِكَ أُقاتِلُ.
O Allah, You are my support and my helper; by You I move, by You I attack and by You I fight.
حَسْبُنا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ.
Allah is enough for us, and what an excellent Guardian!
