CLOSING PRAYER

Ya Allah (O Allah), the Provider, the Witness. We seek refuge in You from denying the Recompense. We thank You for the moral guidance found in Surah Al-Ma’un word by word.

O Rabb, soften our hearts towards the orphan and the needy. Protect our prayers from heedlessness and our intentions from showing off (Riya) to the people. Make us among those who are generous with even the smallest kindnesses (Al-Ma’un) and who serve Your creation for Your sake alone.

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