27. Wird Ar-Rabitah (Du'a of Brotherhood)

Say: “O Allah. Lord of Power and Rule, You grant power to whom You please, and You take power away from whom You please. You endow with honor whom You please, and You abase whom You please. In Your hand is all good. Verily, You have power over all things. You cause the night to envelop the day, and You cause the day to envelop the night; You bring the Living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living; and You give sustenance to whom You please, without measure.”

O Allah, this is the coming of Your night and the turning away of Your day and the voices of the callers to You, so forgive me.

O Allah, You know that these hearts have come together in loving You, met together in Your obedience, united for Your message, and entered together in a covenant to support Your way. O Allah, strengthen the bonds between these hearts, make permanent the affection between them, guide them to their paths, fill them with Your light that never diminishes, comfort their hearts with the flood of faith in You, and a beautiful trust in You, keep them alive with knowledge of You, and give them their death in martyrdom for You. Truly You are the best protector and the best to give victory. O Allah. Ameen.

Qul allahumma malikul mulk tu’til mulka man tasha’u wa tanzi` almulka mimman tasha’ Wa tu`izzu man tasha’u wa tudhillu man tasha’ Biyadik alkhair innaka ala kulli shay’inqadeer Tooliju allaila fi annahari wa tooliju annahara fillail wa tukhriju alhayya min almayyiti wa tukhrij almayyita min alhayy wa tarzuqu man tasha’u bighairi hisab.

Allahumma inna hadha iqbalu laylik wa idbaru naharik wa aswatu duaatik faghfirlana.

Allahumma innaka ta`lamu anna hadhihi alqulooba qad ijtama`at `ala mahabatik
wa iltaqat ala ta`atik
wa tawahhadat `ala da`watak
wa ta`ahadat `ala nusrati sharee`atik
fa wathiq allahumma raabitataha
wa adim wuddaha
wahdiha subulaha
wamla’ha binoorika alladhee la yakhboo
washrah sudooraha bifayd alimani bik wa jameel attawakkuli alaik
wa ah`yiha bima`rifatik
wa amit-ha `ala ashahadati fi sabeelik
Innaka ni`m almawla wa ni`m annaseer
Allahumma ameen
wa salillahumma ala Muhammadin wa `ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa salim

Wird Ar-Rabitah is a litany taken from the fourth section of Al-Ma'thurat. It is an affirmation of the brotherhood that exists between the believers and aims to strengthen the spiritual bond between them. Imam Hasan al-Banna composed this wird, the prime focus of which is the hearts of those who are striving to establish the dhikr of Allah in all spheres of life.
