​

1. O Allah! I have intended to invoke blessings on the Prophet ( May thy blessings and peace rest on him), in compliance with Thine order, and as a token of respect and reverence for Muhammad,  Thy Prophet  and our master; accept it from me by Thy grace and  kindness;  remove the veil of negligence from my heart, and make me one of Thy righteous bondmen.

(Q. 61:7)

7. O Allah!

As to one who regards himself self-sufficient, thou art all attention; although no blame could attach thee if he did not choose to purify himself.  But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly (for Faith) and with fear (of Allah in his heart), thou wast unmindful of him.

We shall charge thee with a weighty Message (Quran). Truly rising up by night tends to suppress (the carnal desires) and helps a free flow of devotional utterance.  Verily, thou hast by day a long chain of business. So commemorate the name of thy Lord, and devote thyself to Him with a complete devotion-the Lord of the East and the West! There is none worthy of worship except Him. Take Him then for (thy) Disposer of Affairs."    (Q. 73:1-9)

(Q. 20:130)

​

41. O Allah! May Thy grace and peace rest on Muhammad, our master, whom Thou didst order: "(O Muhammad) observe Prayers between the sun's decline and the darkness of the night, and recite the Quran at day break, for the recital of the Quran at dawn carries its testimony (presence of mind). And pray after midnight, and it (Tahajjud) would be an additional Prayer for thee. Soon will thy Lord raise thee to a Station of Praise and Glory." (Q. 17:78-79)

​

42. O Allah! May Thy grace and peace rest on Muhammad, our master, to whom Thou didst reveal: "And stand fast by those who call upon ·their Lord morning and evening, seeking His Countenance; and let not thine eyes be turned away from them, with a view to gaining the adornments of the Life of this world; nor obey any whose heart We have made neglectful of Our remembrance, and who followeth his own lust and whose ways are unbridled."   (Q 18:28)
