The Supplicant's All-Embracing Spirit
[Allahumma aghni kulla...]: One preposition employed in nearly every verse of this supplication is "kull" which means "every". The supplicant always tries to seek the betterment of every human being.
He assumes a Divine spirit throughout the invocation. Egoism no more exists. He frees himself from the shackles of yearning only for the betterment and repose of the self. The Holy Prophet (s) and his infallible progeny were of such character. They yearned for the betterment and emancipation of all. In order to understand this exalted spirit better, study the following quotations of the Holy Qur'an and traditions:
I. Almighty Allah says in the Qur'an [Chapter al-A'raf- 7: 156]:
And My Mercy encompasses all things [i.e. every dependent being].
2. And in [Chapter al-Anbiya'- 21:107] addressing His Noble Messenger, He says:
And we have not sent you but as a mercy for the worlds
3. And in [Chapter al-Kahf- 18:6] addressing His Beloved He says:
Then it is near that you will kill yourself in grief, for their outcomes, if they do not believe in this announcement. [MK. Trans.]
