VERSES TO RESTORE THE LOST THINGS

To restore a lost animal, it is advised to recite Surah Yasin in a two-unit prayer and then this supplicatory prayer may be said:

يَا هَادِىَ الضَّآلَّةِ

O Guide of the straying off,

رُدَّ عَلَىَّ ضَآلَّتِىْ

(please) restore my lost animal to me.

To restore a fugitive servant, it is advised to recite this holy verse:

اَوْ كَظُلُمَاتٍ فِىْ بَحْرٍ لُجِّىٍّ،

“Or like utter darkness in the deep sea:

يَغْشَاهُ مَوْجٌ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ مَوْجٌ

there covers it a wave above which is another wave,

مِّن فَوْقِهِ سَحَابٌ ۚ

above which is a cloud,

ظُلُمَاتٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ

(layers of) utter darkness one above another;

إِذَا أَخْرَجَ يَدَهُ لَمْ يَكَدْ يَرَاهَا ۗ

when he holds out his hand, he is almost unable to see it;

وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللهُ لَهُ نُوْرً

and to whomsoever Allah does not give light,

فَمَا لَهُ مِنْ نُوْرٍ۔

he has no light.”
