Invocations

Peace

Quran & Sunnah
Salam,

I thought of creating this thread to post only invocations or as some may call it(supplications, prayers, du'a).
Du'a (invocation) is a kind of worship. May our dear God answer our prayers and guide our ways, amen!

God says:
"When My servants ask about Me, I am indeed close to them. I listen to the prayer of every supplicant, when he calls on Me. Let them also, with a will, listen to My call, and believe in Me, so that they may walk in the right way" Qur'an (2:186).

And aslo says:
“And when My slaves ask you (O Mohammed) concerning Me then (answer them), I am indeed near (to them by my knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the supplicant when he calls on me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led to the right path.” (Qur'an 2:186).

The first invocation will be on the following post.
 

Peace

Quran & Sunnah
God! Put light in my heart, and light on my tongue, and light in my ears, and light in my eyes, and light behind me, and light before me. God! Give me light!.”

May He who blessed our forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob shine His truth and light into our hearts and the hearts of all mankind. May we merit to live in the days in the fulfillment of the words of prophecy, "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore". May He illuminate our hearts and minds to accept our differences and connect with our similiarities, especially in our connection to serve HaShem, HaKadosh Baruch Hu, The Holy One Blessed be He, with all our heart, our soul, and our might.

May we merit to experience the days of the Moshiach and the life of the World to Come.

and let us say,

Amayn

O God, I seek refuge in You lest I misguide others , or I am misguided by others , lest I cause others to err or I am caused to err , lest I abuse others or be abused, and lest I behave foolishly or meet with the foolishness of others.

O Allah! You are my Lord! None has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am Your slave, and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as much as I can.

So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You.
 

Peace

UNITY PEACE PRAYER
Spirit of God,
We long to mend the broken circle
To heal the fractures in the world around us
And within our own souls
To learn from one another
The ways of being fully alive
Spirit of God
We long to see as reality
A world pulsing with justice and truth;
A society where everyone sits down
At the great Banquet Table and eats until filled. Spirit of God
We recommit ourselves
To building the Beloved Community
As brothers and sisters working together :162:​
 

Peace

Quran & Sunnah
We have entered a new day and with it all dominion is God's. Praise is to Allah. None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, Who has no partner. To Allah belongs the dominion, and to Him is the praise and He is Able to do all things. My Lord, I ask You for the goodness of this day and of the days that come after it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and of the days that come after it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness and helpless old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell-fire , and from the punishment of the grave.

The Love Song of Religious Unity
http://1stholistic.com/Prayer/A2004/hol_the-love-of-religious-unity.htm

This song calling for religious unity is very powerful and evokes strong emotions to its readers. It is a shame that religious strife, all over the world, has become a never-ending curse, ushering needless misery and sadness.



This song about religious unity has been originally written in Hindi, a language of India. We will provide the English phonetic version of the poem and its translation. Please read and meditate. It is extremely powerful. Our thanks to Daljit (Dave) Singh for providing the poem and its translation.
(please see link for the song in Hindi)

You'll neither be a Muslim nor a Hindu
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human

It's better that you don't have a name yet
And you have nothing to do with any religion

The so-called wisdom that has divided the humanity
You don't carry the blame of that wisdom

You'll become the stamp of the changing times
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human

You'll neither be a Muslim nor a Hindu
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human

The Lord made us all humans
We made us into Hindus and Muslims

The nature blessed us with just one earth
We made India here, we made Iran there

You'll be the storm that will break all the barriers
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human

You'll neither be a Muslim nor a Hindu
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human

The religion that teaches hatred is not yours
The step that tramples the others is not yours

The temple that does not have a Koran is not yours
The Harem that does not have a Geeta is not yours too

You'll be an incarnation of peace and harmony
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human

You'll neither be a Muslim nor a Hindu
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human

The ones who are merchants of fundamentalism
and the ones who sell the nation

The ones who can sell even the covers of the corpses

The plunderers and murderers who live in the palaces
And those who sell the country in exchange for thorns

For them you'll become a declaration of death
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human

You'll neither be a Muslim nor a Hindu
You're an offspring of a human, you'll become a human
