In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Please note that this version of Jawshan al Kabir is the Shia version - however, it differs only very slightly in the wording which was transmitted through Sunni chains.
There has been some controversy as to whether or not there is an authentic Sunni chain - there are many commentaries on this by so-called "Salafi" scholars, however, the sources which they are rejecting are all clearly Shia. There are ALSO Sunni chains of transmission for this Dua.
For the Sunni version of this dua, which does not have the English translation unfortunately, please visit:

Also, the highly respected Sunni scholar, Bediuzzaman Said Nursi mentioned the following about al Jawshan al Kabir in his article "A persuasive response to the objections raised about repetitions in the Qur'an";
"Al-Jawshan al-Kabir, a well-known supplication of the Prophet DERIVED FROM THE QURAN, consists of 100 sections. Each section ends with: Glory be to You. There is no god but You, the Protector, One in Whom refuge is sought. Save us from the Fire. These sentences affirm God's Unity, the greatest truth in the universe. They also show three mighty duties of all created beings toward the Lord. These are the following:glorification, praise, holding Him to be All-Holy and free of defect, exalted above what polytheists wrongly attribute to Him; a supplication for humanity to be saved from eternal punishment (our most vital concern); and an aspect of our servanthood to God (the most necessary result of our helplessness before God). Thus it would be insufficient even if repeated thousands of times. "
PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE REGARDING THE ARABIC PORTION OF THE VIDEOS!
*** The program that I am using to make these videos presents SHADDA-KASRAH with the KASRAH on TOP of the letter (not on the bottom as you would expect) - the Kasrah does lie on the BOTTOM OF THE SHADDA - so if you see a SHADDA, and the line is on top, then it is SHADDA-FAT'HAH بَّ but if you see a SHADDA AND THE LINE IS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SHADDA, THEN WHAT YOU ARE READING IS A SHADDA-KASRAH لِّ .
