Friday Prayer

In the name of Allah,
the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Praise be to Allah,
the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Master of the Day of Judgment.
It is You we worship and You we ask for help.
Show us the straight way,
The way of those on whom You have bestowed your Grace,
those whose portion is not anger,
and who go not astray.
Amen.

(Qur’an 1:1-7 – Al-Fatihah)

Send Thy peace O Lord, which is perfect and everlasting, that our souls may radiate peace. Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may think, act and speak harmoniously. Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may be contented and thankful for Thy bountiful gifts. Send Thy peace O Lord, that amidst our worldly strife, we may enjoy Thy bliss. Send Thy peace O Lord, that we may endure all, tolerate all, in the thought of Thy grace and mercy. Send Thy peace O Lord, that our lives may become a Divine vision and in Thy light, all darkness may vanish. Send Thy peace O Lord, our Father and Mother, that we Thy children on Earth may all unite in one family.



(Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan circa 1921)

Prayer for Wednesday

	O master of the senses, it is right that the world delights and rejoices in your praise, that all the saints and sages bow down to you and all evil flees before you to the far corners of the universe.
	How could they not worship you, O Lord? You are the eternal spirit, who existed before Brahma the creator and who will never cease to be, the Lord of the gods, you are the abode of the universe. Changeless, you are what is and what is not, and beyond the duality of existence and nonexistence.
	You are the first among gods, the timeless spirit, the resting place of all beings. You are the knower and the thing which is known. You are the final home; within your infinite form you pervade the cosmos.
	You are air, and You are the supreme controller! You are fire, You are water, You are the moon and the creator Prajapati, and the great-grandfather of all creatures. I bow before you and salute you again and again.
	You are behind me and in front of me; I bow to you on every side. Your power is immeasurable. You pervade everything; you are everything.
(Bhagavad Gita – 11:36-40 – Arjuna)
