A Doa'

(Writer's note: A compilation doa' from various sources; one that goes to all Muslim brothers and sisters - friends and strangers - all over the world)

In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Benevolent
Oh Allah,
we come to You with regrets of our past sins.
we pray for You to pardon us
and to guide us always without fail
to Your way

Oh Allah,
we pray for ourselves
and for our brothers and sisters
all over the world
for You to grant us
compassion and courage
to keep on fighting on Your glorious path
to live according to Your rules
to love You above All
to die for You

Oh Allah,
forgive us for the times our hearts have been cold
in times of forgetfulness
grant us
eyes of faith for seeing far
faith that never wavers
hope that never despairs

Help us oh Allah,
make us strong in love and forgiveness
for those You entrust to our care
to embrace them without clutching
to support them without suffocating
to correct them without crushing
help us to make them see
Your light
the only True path

Oh Allah,
grant us
the courage to change what we can
the serenity to accept what we cannot
the wisdom to know the difference
We pray we will grow
wise and well

Peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad, his Noble Family, Companions,
and all Believers.
Aamin.
