ونسأله جل في هلاه أن يمكن للمجاهدين النصر
the "hu" referred to at the beginning is God, the context is a discussion about the Shia death squads in Iraq. All help very much appreciated.

Arabic term (edited):
التمكين
Selected
authority, control, prevalence
أنه ولي ذالك والقادر عليه
He [alone] is worthy [of this plead] and is able to bring this pass.
So the whole supplication would be:
"We ask Him, Most Glorified and Exhaulted, to facilitate victory and prevalence for those who strive in His way, for only He is worthy of this, and He alone is able to bring this to pass."

I did not notice that I copied and pasted another typo twice:
write: ذلك
not: ذالك

Arabic term (edited):
جل في هلاه
For whom the asserted belief in the unity
Hi Mr Alaa Zeineldine! i guess that the word is derived from the verb "هَلَّل" so, in other terms this expression refers to the one to whom we say "لا إِله إِلاَّ الله" ...
Peer comment(s):
| neutral |
Alaa Zeineldine
: The verb هلل is a verbal shorthand for قال لا إله إلا الله like حوثل and لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله. The divine attribute is وحدانية not هلا

and [making them] prevail. He is Omnipotent, He is Almighty.
one by one... al-tamkeen is making them prevail (be triumphant and powerful), so it should not be here, it is the last word in the previous sentence/phrase (if the text uses punctuation correctly).
Now, after that elusive comma that keeps falling off the wagon whenever Arabic source texts tackle non-scientific subjects......
The rest is in praise of God's power: 'He is the Omnipotent, the Almighty' (literal translation being He /has mastery over/ this and he is capable of this).
/has mastery over/ may not really the best translation anyway.

Here is another elusive word falling off the wagon... may not be the best translation.... :o) sorry for the mistake.
