PRAYERS FROM THE HOLY QURAN
PRAYERS OF THE HOLY PROPHET(SA)
‘O ALLAH, I HAVE GREATLY WRONGED MY SOUL, AND THERE IS NONE WHO CAN FORGIVE EXCEPT YOU, SO FORGIVE ME AND HAVE MERCY ON ME. SURELY YOU ARE THE MOST FORGIVING, OFT-RETURNING WITH MERCY.’

‘THERE IS NONE WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT ALLAH, HE IS ONE AND HAS NO PARTNER. ALLAH IS THE GREATEST, THE MOST PURE. HE IS THE LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS. THERE IS NO STRENGTH, NOR ABILITY EXCEPT IN ALLAH, THE MIGHTY, WISE.’
————————————————————————————————————-
‘O ALLAH, THERE IS NONE WORTHY OF WORSHIP EXCEPT YOU. O ALLAH I SEEK YOUR FORGIVENESS FOR MY SINS, AND SEEK YOUR MERCY. O ALLAH, INCREASE ME IN KNOWLEDGE, AND LET MY HEART NOT BECOME PERVERSE AFTER YOU HAVE GUIDED ME AND GRANT ME YOUR MERCY.’
————————————————————————————————————-
‘O ALLAH, I SEEK YOUR REFUGE FROM THE TORMENT OF THE GRAVE AND SEEK YOUR REFUGE FROM THE DISORDER OF THE ANTICHRIST, AND I SEEK YOUR REFUGE FROM THE TROUBLES OF LIFE AND THE TROUBLES OF DEATH. O ALLAH, I SEEK YOUR REFUGE FROM SIN AND FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY.’ SOMEONE ASKED THE HOLY PROPHET(SA) WHY HE SOUGHT REFUGE AGAINST FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY TO WHICH THE HOLY PROPHEET (SA) REPLIED, ‘WHEN A PERSON FALLS INTO FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY HE LIES WHEN HE SPEAKS AND BREAKS THE PROMISES HE MAKES.’
————————————————————————————————————-
‘O ALLAH, WE SEEK FROM YOU THE VERY GOOD WHICH YOUR PROPHET MUHAMMAD(SA) SOUGHT. WE SEEK YOUR REFUGE FROM EVERY EVIL WHICH YOUR PROPHET MUHMAMAD (SA) SOUGHT YOUR REFUGE FROM. YOU ARE THE TRUE HELPER; WE PRAY UNTO YOU ALONE. WITHOUT THE HELP OF ALLAH WE POSSESS NOT THE CAPABILITY OF VIRTUE, NOR THE STRENGTH TO SAFEGUARD AGAINST THE ATTACKS OF SATAN.’
PRAYERS OF THE PROMISED MESSIAH (AS)
“O MY BENEFICENT, O MY GOD, I AM AN UNABLE SERVANT OF YOURS, SINFUL AND FORGETFUL. YOU HAVE OBSERVED ME COMMIT WRONGDOING AFTER WRONGDOING, YET BESTOWED BOUNTY AFTER BOUNTY. YOU OBSERVED SIN AFTER SIN, YET BESTOWED FABOUR AFTER FAVOUR. YOU HAVE ALWAY COVERED MY FAULTS AND FURNISHED ME WITH COUNTLESS BLESSINGS. NOW TOO, HAVE MERCY UPON A INCAPABLE AND SINFUL PERSON SUCH AS MYSELF AND FORGIVE MY BOLDNESS AND INGRATITUDE. SAVE ME FROM THIS GRIEF, FOR THERE IS NO ESCAPE EXCEPT IN YOU.’
——————————————————————————————————————————
‘O LORD OF ALL THE WORLDS, I CANNOT THANK YOU FOR YOUR FAVOURS. YOU ARE EXTREMELY MERCIFUL AND KIND. YOU HAVE BESTOWED UPON ME GREAT FAVOURS. FORGIVE MY SINS SO THAT I AM NOT RUINED. IMBIBE MY HEART WITH PURE LOVE FOR YOU SO THAT I MAY BE GRANTED LIFE. COVER MY FAULTS AND ENABLE ME TO DO THOSE THINGS WHICH PLEASE YOU. I CALL UPON YOUR BENEFICENCE AND SEEK REFUGE FROM INCURRING YOUR WRATH. HAVE MERCY, HAVE MERCY, HAVE MERCY. SAVE ME FROM THE CALAMITIES OF THIS WORLD AND THE HEREAFTER, FOR EVERY GRACE AND BOUNTY RESTS IN YOUR HAND.’
——————————————————————————————————————————
‘O MY ALMIGHTY GOD, MY BELOVED GUIDE! SHOW US THE PATH WHICH LEADS THE RIGHTEOUS AND THE SINCERE TO THEE. AND SAVE US FROM TREADING THE PATH WHICH LEADS TO CARNAL DESIRES, MALICE, SPITE AND WORLDLY PURSUITS.’
