A selection of In the name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful
PRAYERS
From the Holy Qur’an
“When My servants ask you about Me, I am always
near. I answer their prayers when they pray to Me.
The people shall respond to Me and believe in Me,
in order to be guided”. (Al-Qur’an 2:186)
All praise is due to Allah (SWT), the Almighty. We all praise Him, seek His
Help, and ask His Forgiveness. We seek refuge with Him from the evil of our
souls, and from our sinful deeds. He whom Allah (SWT) guides, no one can
misguide him, and whoever Allah (SWT) misguides, no one can guide him. I
bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah (SWT), and I
bear witness thatPa
Muhammad (SAW) is truly His servant and Messenger.
