Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

remedy our ills through its interpretation,
double through it our reward of good deeds,
elevate us in rank through it as a reward,
and give us good news through it after death!

O Allah!
Make it for us
a provision with which You may fortify us
in the halt before You,
a clear path by which we may travel towards You,
a beneficial knowledge
by which we may thank You for Your blessings,
a true veneration
with which we may glorify Your Names,
for You have made it an argument against us
whereby You have cut off our excuses,
and granted thereby a blessing
for which we can never thank You enough!

O Allah! Make it for us
a guardian that saves us from stumbles,
a guide that directs us to righteous conduct,
a guiding helper that saves us from deviation,
a helper that gives us vigour in weariness,
thus enabling us to realize our best aspirations.

O Allah! Make it for us
an intercessor on the day of encounter,
a conveyance for the day of soaring,
a pleader on the day of judgement,
