## About this text

One of the shortest supplications in the library, and among the best known — a call by name rather than a request in sentences: “O Allah, O Muhammad, O Ali, O Fatima, O Master of the Age — take me into your care, and do not destroy me.”

It is a tawassul: the reciter comes to Allah through those He honoured, naming the Prophet (s), Amir al-Mu’minin (a), Sayyida Fatima al-Zahra (s) and the living Imam. Its brevity is the point — it is meant to be reachable at a moment when nothing longer can be.
