​

15. O Allah! May Thy grace and peace rest on Muhammad, our master, out of regard for whom Thou didst say:  "Thus it is by the mercy of Allah (0 Muhammad) that ye deal gently with them.

This is their picture (as visualised) in the Torah, and the Evangel. (The believers will prosper and look) like a sown seed which sends forth its shoot, then makes it strong, it then becomes thick, and it stands on its own stem, filling the sowers with wonder and delight. As a result (of their prosperity), it fills the disbelievers with rage at their sight. Allah has promised those among them who believe and do righteous deeds, forgiveness and a great reward."

​

35. O Allah! May Thy grace and peace rest on Muhammad, our master to whom Thou didst say: "Nun! By the Pen and what they write therewith.

So verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. Verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. Therefore, when thou art free from thine (immediate task) still labour hard, and to thy Lord, turn all thy attention." (Q. 94:1-8)

​

38. O Allah! May Thy grace and peace rest on Muhammad, our master, to whom Thou didst say: "By the glorious morning hours, and by the night when it spreads (its darkness)! thy Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased with thee. And what is to follow shall surely be better for thee than what is past. And soon will thy Lord grant thee (that with which) thou shalt be well pleased. Did he not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter? Did He not find thee struggling to find the right way, and direct thee? Did He not find thee in want and free thee from it? Therefore, the orphan oppress not; therefore one who asks (for help) chide not; and speak freely of the bounties of thy Lord."

(Q. 93:1-8)

(Q. 17:1).

​

42. O Allah! May Thy grace and peace rest on Muhammad, our master, to whom Thou didst reveal: "By the star when it setteth. your companion erreth not, nor is he misled.  Nor doth he say anything of his own accord. It (the Quran) is nothing else than a revelation revealed to him. The Mighty in Power hath afforded him the knowledge thereof - the Lord of Wisdom. So (equipped), stood he well poised (with the Perfect vision attained), at the highest horizon. Then he drew nigh and hung (by Him), till he was at a distance of two bows' length or even nearer. And He revealed to His servant that which He revealed. The heart (of the Prophet) distrusted not what he beheld. Will ye then dispute with him concerning what he beheld? For, indeed he beheld Him yet again (at a second descent), near the Lote-tree lying farthest (beyond which none may pass). Near it is the Garden of Rest. When the Lote-tree was being enveloped by what it was to be enveloped with (a mystery, not disclosed); his sight did not blink nor did it miss anything. Indeed, he beheld clearly the greatest of the signs of his Lord."    (Q. 53:1-8) ·

43. O Allah! Shower Thy blessings on Muhammad, our master, and on his Progeny­ such blessings by means of which Thou mayst deliver us from all anxieties and calamities. Thou mayst satisfy all our needs; Thou mayst cleanse us of all our evils; and thanks to which Thou mayst grant us high rank and status in Thy Presence; and Thou mayst lead us to the utmost limits of our aspirations and capacities, in whatever is good in this world as well as in the Hereafter, as Thou hast full power over all things.

​

44. Glory to Thy Lord, the Lord of Honour and Power; (He is free) from what they ascribe (to Him); And peace be on the Apostles! And praise be to Allah, the Lord and Cherisher of All domains of existence. (Q. 37:180-182)
