We are solely Yours. You are our Owner. Our every portion, from head to toe is Your property. Every owner looks and protects his property. We have attained this right of being a slave. In the verse     ?????? ??????????,   “You are our Maula.” The commentary of this is mentioned in Ruhul Ma’aani as 

?? ?????? ??????????     “You are our Owner and we are Your servants”.

From head to toe, every portion of ours is in Your control. Therefore, we are beseeching You to protect us due to the right due to us because of being a slave. We beseech You “do not hand us over to our own choices, since there are filthy habits within us. If You hand us to ourselves, we will be like a small foolish child who places his hand in stool and phlegm. If a snake appears before a child, he does not run away. He says to his mother, “it has a beautiful design of a flower on it.” He well attempt to wrap it around his neck. Parents will protect their children from the snake. Therefore, supplicate to Allah Ta’ala, “O Allah, attract me to Youself. O the One whose power dominates all other powers, You overpower all attractive things of this world, whether it is rulership, the beauty of beautiful women, wealth, heaps of gold and silver, the thrones of ministry and all other appealing things found in the world. Therefore, Hazrat Jalaluddin Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihe), one of Allah Ta'ala’s wali (friend), beaches Allah Ta'ala with his tongue of wilayat (friendship),

purchase us through Your mercy, we who are weak, helpless and feeble. We are so lowly and weak that we walk for a few days on Your path by being punctual with the recitation of Qur’an, by performing Salaah, thereafter we begin missing our Salaah with jamaat, our recitation, we even begin watching T.V., videos which eventually lead us into other satanic actions deriving impermissible pleasures. Therefore, we have seen ourselves breaking our intentions repeatedly. We have seen the disgrace of breaking our Taubah (repentance), then Your greatness has increased in our hearts- O Allah, we are nothing. It is only You. You are everything. Asghar Ghondwi (Rahmatullah Alaihe), the teacher of Jigar Muradabadi (Rahmatullah Alaihe) and a poet punctual with Tahajjud, says,

Your great loftiness, Your great rank

Is manifest in my every weakness, in my every fault.

The faults which occur from us, our repentance which breaks continuously, O Allah, from here we come to know of Your greatness. Maulana Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihe) says,

Our promises have broken thousands of times

Your promise, O Allah is firm like a mountain, it can never break.

Therefore, we affirm our weakness and feebleness, we beseech You to purchase us weak ones because we are cutting our feet with our own hands i.e. by committing sin with our limbs, we are preparing to admit ourselves into Jahannum. Maulana Rumi (Rahmatullah Alaihe) said,

“When our hands are using an axe to cut our feet then O Allah, without Your protection and safety, no person can cross Your path, as long as Your graces and kindness do not encompass us.
