Allahumma baAAid baynee wabayna kha tayaya kama baAAadta baynal -mashriqi walmaghrib, all ahumma naqqinee min kha tayaya kama yunaqqath -thawbul-abyadu minad -danas, all ahummagh -silnee min kha tayaya biththalji walm a/i walbarad . ‘O Allah, distance me from my sins just as You have distanced The East from The West, O Allah, purify me of my sins as a white robe is purified of filth, O All ah, cleanse me of my sins with snow, water, andice .”

ae ANY, GI Nay GL OLE, Ucar 41 GLY subhanal-lavemes wabi hamdika watab arakas-muka wataAA ala jadduka wal a ilaha ghayruk. “How perfect You are O All ah, and I praise You. Blessed be Your name, an d lofty is Your position and none has the right to be worshipped except You.”

Allah does not create pure evil which does not have any good or contain any benefit, wisdom or mercy at a ll, nor does He punish anyone without having commited a sin Something can be good in terms of its creation when viewed in a particular perspective and at the same time be evil when viewed in another way. Allah created the devil and by him, He tests His s ervants, so there are those who hate the devil, fight him and his way and they stand at enmity towards him and his followers and there are others who are at allegiance with the devil and follow his steps. So evil exists in His creatures by His will and wis dom, not in His actions or act of creating .

Allah, much praise is for All ah, much praise is for All ah, and I declare the perfection

of Allah in the early morning and in the late afternoon .’(three times)

‘I take refuge with All ah from the devil, from his pride, his poetry and his madness.”

‘VY. While bowing in prayer (rukooAA)

Subhana rabbiyal -AAatheem (three times)

“How perfect my Lord is, The Supreme .’(three times)

(r#) Subhanakal-lahumma rabban a wabihamdik, all ahummagh -fir lee “How perfect You are O All ah, our Lord and I praise You . O Allah, forgive me.’

Cols 45 ABD ehh Se Subboo hun quddoos, rabbul -mala-ikati warroo h. “Perfect and Holy (He is), Lord of the angles and the Rooh (i.e. Jibra-eel).’

Allahumma laka rakaAAt, wabika amant, walaka aslamt, khashaAAa laka samAAee,

wabasaree, wamukhkhee, waAAa thmee, waAAa sabee, wamas -taqalla bihi qadamee .

‘O Allah, unto You I have bowed, and in You I have believed, and to You I have

submitted. My hearing, sight, mind, bones, tendons and what my feet carry are humbled before You .”

“How perfect He is, The Possessor of total power, sovereignty, magnificence and grandeur.’
