Save us from Evil

L

ord, we have wronged our souls. Pardon us and have mercy on us, or we shall surely be among the lost. (7:23) Lord, bless us with patience and let us die as Muslims (who have surrendered themselves to Your Will). (7:126) Lord, You alone are our Guardian. Forgive us and have mercy on us: You are the Best of those who forgive. Ordain for us what is good, both in this life and in the Hereafter. To You alone we have turned in repentance. (7:155-156) Lord, do not let us suffer at the hands of the wicked. Deliver us, through Your mercy, from the unbelievers. (10:85-86) Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my Guardian in this world and in the next. Let me die as one submitting to Your Will (i.e., Muslim) and join the righteous. (12:101)
