Taught by Imam Ali (the first Divinely appointed Imam after the demise of the Holy Prophet of Islam) to his close companion Kumayl bin Ziyad, the supplication of Kumayl is one of the masterpieces of the Islamic tradition. A moving supplication that captures the centremost tenets of the Islamic faith with utmost humility in address and flowing eloquence. Imam Ali (a) draws the attention of the human conscience to the Glory and Majesty of the Almighty Creator, His unending Mercy and favours on humankind.
