CLOSING PRAYER

Ya Allah (O Allah), the Protector, the Judge. We seek refuge in You from the evil of our tongues and the greed of our hearts. We thank You for the severe warning found in Surah Al-Humazah word by word.

O Rabb, save us from being among the slanderers (Humazah) and backbiters (Lumazah). Remove from our hearts the love of hoarding wealth and the false hope that it will make us immortal. Protect us from the Hutamah (the Crusher), Your kindled Fire that rises over the hearts and closes in upon the wicked in extended columns.

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