Glory be unto You! We have no knowledge save that which You have taught us; indeed You are the All-Knowing, the All Wise. O My Sustainer! Expand for me my breast. Make easy for me my affair. And loosen the knot on my tongue that they may understand my words. God! Grant blessings to us. O God! By his mystery in Your presence and by his journeying to You, succor my fear, and right my stumbling, and dispel my grief and my greed, and be mine, and take me from myself to Yourself, and bestow on me annihilation from myself, and do not make me captivated by my soul and veiled by my senses, and reveal to me all hidden secrets, O the Ever-Living and the Self-Subsistent One! O the Ever-Living and the Self-Subsistent One! O the Ever-Living and the Self-Subsistent One! And grant mercy to me and to my companions and to the people of belief and the Holy Book. Amen. O the Most Merciful of Merciful and the Most Generous of Generous! And the close of their prayer will be: All Praise be to God, the Sustainer of All the Worlds.


Glory be to You! We have no knowledge save that which You have taught us; indeed, You are the All-Knowing, the All Wise.

O our Sustainer! Do not call us to task if we forget or fall into error. Our Sustainer! Lay not a burden on us like that which you laid on those before us; Our Sustainer! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have the strength to bear. Blot out our sins. And grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector; help us against those who stand against faith. Our Sustainer! Let not our hearts deviate now after You have guided us, but grant us mercy from Your presence; for You are the Granter of bounties without measure. Our Sustainer! You are He that will gather mankind together against a Day about which there is no doubt; for God never fails in His promise.

O God! Grant blessings and peace to the one whom You sent as a Mercy to all the worlds, and to all his Family and Companions. And have mercy of us and have mercy on his community, through Your Mercy, O the Most Merciful of the Merciful. Amen.

And the close of their prayer will be: Praise be to God, the Sustainer of All the Worlds!


My Lord! I am a stranger, I have no one, I am weak, I am powerless, I am impotent, I am old;

I am without will; I seek recourse, I seek forgiveness, I seek help from Your Court, O God!


O God! There is in the heavens no circulation, no star, and no motion of the planets...

In the atmosphere no cloud, no lightning, and no glorification of the thunder...

On the earth no profusion of animate beings and no wondrous artifact...

In the seas not a droplet of water nor a fish nor any strange creature...

On the mountains no stone or plant, and within them no mineral...

On the trees, no leaf or blossom, nor any decorated fruit...

In the bodies of living things no activity, nor any well-ordered member or system...

In man's heart no thought, no inspiration, and no illumined belief...

But it testifies to the necessity of Your existence and is evidence for Your unity, and in Your dominions is utterly subjugated. Through the power by which You subjugate the heavens and earth, subjugate to me my soul and subjugate to me my wish, and subjugate to the Risale-i Nur and to service of the Holy Book and belief the hearts of Your servants and the hearts of the spirit beings, both elevated and lowly; O All-Hearing! O Near One! O Answerer of Prayer! Amen. And all praise be to God, the Sustainer of All the Worlds.

Glory be unto You! We have no knowledge save that which You have taught us; indeed, You are All-Knowing, All-Wise.


 O My Sustainer and Sustainer of the Heavens and Earth! O My Creator and Creator of All Things! For the sake of Your power, will, wisdom, sovereignty, and mercy, which subjugate the heavens and their stars, the earth and all it contains, and all creatures together with all their attributes and acts, subject my soul to me and subjugate to me my wishes! Subjugate the hearts of people to the Risale-i Nur, so they may serve the Holy Book and belief! And grant me and my brothers perfect belief and a happy death! As You subjugated the sea to Moses fire to Abraham, the mountains and iron to David, jinn and men to Solomon, and the sun and moon to Muhammad, subjugate hearts and minds to the Risale-i Nur! Preserve me and all the students of the Risale-i Nur from the evil of the soul and Satan, and the torment of the grave and Hell-fire, and grant us happiness in Paradise! Amen. Amen. Amen.

Glory be unto You! We have no knowledge save that which You have taught us; indeed, You are All-Knowing, All-Wise.
