CLOSING PRAYER

Ya Allah (O Allah), we praise You, the All-Knowing of the unseen. We thank You for exposing the dangers of hypocrisy and guiding us through Surah Al-Munafiqun word by word.

O Al-Qawiy (The Strong), protect our hearts from hypocrisy (Niqaf) and protect our tongues from false oaths. Grant us sincerity in our deeds, and make us among those who spend in Your cause before death overtakes us. Do not let us be among those who plead, “My Lord, if only You would delay me for a brief term so I would give charity and be among the righteous.”

Do not let this knowledge remain only on our tongues; transform it into righteous action in our lives. Accept this humble effort from us, for truly, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. Ameen.
