72 PRAYER IN THE QUR'AN

Say: "My Lord, forgive and be merciful! You are the Best of the
Merciful." (Surat al-Muminun: 118)

Some of the prayers of the Prophet (saas) as we learn from the ha-
diths are as follows:
O Allah, grant us good in this world and the good in the Hereafter and
save us from the torment of the Fire. (Muslim)
There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him.
Sovereignty belongs to Him and all the praise is due to Him, and He is

Potent over everything. O Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon
me, direct me to righteousness and provide me sustenance. (Muslim)
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the trial of Hell-Fire; and from the
torment of Hell-Fire, and from the trial of the grave and torment of the
grave. O Allah, wash away my sins with snow and hail water, purify
my heart from sin as is purified the white garment from the dirt, and

keep away at a distance the sins fro me as yawns the distance between
the East and West; O Allah, I seek refuge in You from sloth, from senil-
ity, from sin, and from debt. (Muslim)
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from incapacity, from indolence, from
cowardice, from senility, from miserliness. (Muslim)
