CLOSING PRAYER

Ya Allah (O Allah), the Protector of the Sanctuary, the Lord of the Kaaba. We praise You for Your power demonstrated in the Year of the Elephant. We thank You for the lesson of divine protection found in Surah Al-Fil word by word.

O Rabb, just as You made the plot of the elephant army go astray (Tadlil), make the plots of those who wish harm upon the believers fail. Send Your help against oppressors just as You sent the birds (Ababil). Make our enemies like eaten straw (Asfin Ma’kul) and grant safety and security to Your House and the Ummah.

Please accept this humble effort from us, for indeed, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Ameen.
