One of his
prayers imploring protection from evils, immorality and
blameworthy action.
O Lord, I implore Thy
protection from the excitation of greed, from: The impetuosity of
anger, The domination of envy, The lack of patience, The scarcity
of contentment, The depravity of morals, The importunity of
passion, The excess of zeal, The submission to desires, The
opposition to right, The drowsiness of negligence, The entrance
into troubles, The preferring of wrong to right, Persistence in
sins, The underestimation of guilt, The overestimation of
service, The pride of the wealthy, The despising of the poor, The
abuse of power over those under our hands, the failure to thank
those who are kind to us, assisting the oppressor, forsaking the
oppressed, aiming at that to which we are not entitled and
speaking in matters of learning without knowledge. We implore Thy protection from keeping in mind
the weaknesses of others, from being proud of our good deeds, and
from indulging in far-reaching hopes. O Lord, we flee to Thee for protection from
inward evil , from underestimation of minor sins, from the
domination of Satan over us, from being involved in calamity by
the course of events and from being oppressed by a sukan. We flee to Thee for protection from acquiring
extravagant habits and from want of livelihood. We ask. Thy protection from the ridicule of
enemies, from the begging of equals, from living in hardships and
dying without preparation. We seek Thy protection from the exceeding
regret, from the great calamity, from the terrible O Lord, bless Muhammad and his descendants and
protect me and all the true believers, both male and female, from
all these by Thy Mercy, O Most Merciful' |
