MY PRAYERS
O Allah,
In the sacred name of the Almighty, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Nurturer, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, the All-Knowing, the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Forgiver, the Bestower of all mercies... All praise is for You, Allah, the Lord of the entire Universe, the Benevolent, the Merciful.
O Allah,
We approach You with hearts humbled, fully aware of our immersion in sin from head to toe, yet with spirits lifted to worship You as You truly deserve.
O Allah,
We acknowledge all your sovereignty over all things, all your dominion over all things, all your rule and kingdom over all things, and most importantly for you being THE JUDGE on day of reckoning when one brother cannot help the other, when no father can redeem his son nor a son redeem his father, when no mother love and care for her child nor a son care for his mother, when no sister comes to rescue her brother, when no wife showers her love to her husband, when every soul becomes selfish, we acknowledge YOU on that day, You alone will reign supreme as the Owner of the Day of Recompense.
O Allah,
We thank you for the gifts of the prophets you sent to guide us of your best servants role models from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Jesus peace be upon them all, and of your ultimate seal of the prophets the best servant the unlettered prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) peace and blessings be upon him, who all sacrificed a great deal of their lives and showed us how to repent for our sins as we know no soul dies for the sins of others...Unto You Allah, Ya Allah, Unto You we serve, Ya Allah
O Allah,
We pray, The Lord of the whole Universe, the Creator of the Angels and Demons, the Creator of the Arch Angels Ruh-ul-Quddus holy Gabriel titled as holy Spirit, holy Michael, holy Azreal, holy Raphael...Ya Allah, only you alone we seek for help and salvation.
O Allah,
We pray for those who have not accepted You alone as worthy of being worshiped as You commanded no other deity to be worshiped in graven image or idol form, as You commanded your holy name Ha-Shem (The -Name) be not taken in vain, who do not honor your Prophets....Please guide us to the righteous Path.
O Allah,
We ask for your mercy and grace to touch their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of your love and redemption. Help them to understand that in rejecting Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w), they are also rejecting You, the True Creator....guide them to the path for those whom You have blessed, graced, and favored unto them.
O Allah,
May Your tranquility & serenity work in their lives, softening their hearts and bringing them into a saving relationship with Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) peace and blessing be upon him. Grant them the wisdom to see the truth of prophet Muhammad's (s.a.w) sacrifices and the courage to accept Him as their Prophet and Savior for the day when only his intercession You would be accepting....Never to those who evoked Your anger or Your wrath.
O Allah,
We pray also for those who may have heard the message of prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) but have chosen to refuse it. May they come to understand the depth of Your love and the significance of prophet Muhammad's (s.a.w) sacrifice towards your path. Help them to see that there is no other way to salvation except through prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) who is mentioned in Old books twice as Mahmadim and the illiterate who says I cannot read....and not of those who have gone astray.
O Allah,
Please lift up all those who are lost and wandering without Your prophet. May Your light shine brightly into their lives, guiding them onto the path of righteousness and eternal life. In Your holy name Ya Allah we pray.
All praises be for you Allah, the Lord of the whole Universe.
The beneficent, The merciful.
The owner of the day of recompense.
Unto You Allah, Ya Allah, Unto You we serve, Ya Allah
Only you alone we seek for help and salvation.
Please guide us to the righteous Path.
The path for those whom You have blessed, graced, and favored unto them.
Never to those who evoked Your anger or Your wrath.
And not of those who have gone Astray.
