Dua Tawassul

Text and Translation

According to Allamah Majlisi (r.a.) some reliable books mention that Mohammad Ibne Babwaih traced through authentic sources this Dua-e-Tawassul, which means entreaty or supplication to the Holy Imams (a.s.) and that whenever he recited this Dua he invariably found it to be effective for quick satisfaction of his needs and prompt fulfilment of his desires. When recitation of the Dua is over entreat Allah the All-Merciful for fulfilment of your desires.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ.
