Pray, Pray, Pray

Pray, Pray, Pray

 

GOD Almighty’s words in the Holy Qor-aan in the form of Soor-ra-tool Faa-tay-ha (001:All) are the best and most comprehensive prayer. It is an integral part of every Rakat in the Five Daily Prayers.

 

GOD Almighty’s word in the Holy Qor-aan has perpetuated some words with which His Prophets beseeched Him. I have used them all my life. Anyone can access them on 001:All, 002:068, 002:127, 002:128, 002:129, 002:130, 002:202, 005:115, 006:102,  006:163, 006:164, 109:001 to 007, 112:001 to 005, 113:001 to 006, 114:001 to 007, etc., on TrueTeachingsOfIslam.com where I have placed them by translating them to the best of my abilities in American English.

 

The Holy Prophet Mohammad, s.a.w, used to say the prayer frequently during Ramadan

                                                     آللهْمّّ  آنْتَ عَفُوُْ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ  فَآ عْفُ عَنِْ                                                                       Aul-laa  hoom-ma  aun-ta  au-foo-waun  to-hib-bool  auf-wa  fau-fo aun-nee                  Our God!  You are Forgiveness  You love forgiving  So please forgive me

 

Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, a.s. called this prayer Iss-may Aa-zaum i.e. The Top prayer

                                              رَبِّ كُلُِّ شَيٍْ خَا دِمُكَ رَبِّ فّآحْفَظْنَآ ؤَآنْصُرْنَآ وَآرْحَمْنِآ                                                                               Raub-bay  kool-lo  shai-in  khaa-day-mo-ka  raub-bay                                                                      fauh-fauz-naa  waun-soor-naa  waur-haum-na                                        My God! All things are Your servant.  My God!  So protect us and help us  and mercy on us

 

Aforesaid prayers are with which our parents prayed for their progeny. I am the conduit to pass them on to their future generations. Beseeching the Almighty God with those prayers has always proved highly beneficial. Anyone in the Capitalist Society will find their prayers far more productive by starting with the following four Attributes of the Almighty God.

 

Allah! Who provides whom He chooses                                      اللّٰه يَرْزُقُ مَنْ يَشا ءُ                                                                                       Aul-laa-ho  yaur zo-qo  maun  ya-shaa-o

Allah! The Provider of solid strength                                 اللّٰهُ هُوَالرٌزٌاق ذُوالْقُوَٗةِ الْمَتِين                                                   Aul-laa-ho  ho-wa  ur-auz-aa-qa  zo ol-qoow-wa  tay  il-ma-teen

Allah! The best of the Providers”  062:012                                          اللّٰهُ خَيۡرُ الرّٰزِقِيۡنَ ‏                                                                                             Aul-laa-ho  khai-ro  or-ra-zay-qee-n

Surely Your food you give is the best and lasting                      اِنَٗ رِزْقُكَ خَيْرٗوٗاَبْقٰى                                                                                     In-na  riz-qo  ka  khai-roon  wa  aub-qaa

The Arabic root  رزق  carries the meanings of food and provisions. The word  رَزَقَ,  (a verb, in past tense, for a single male, in 3rd person) means that he awarded, bestowed, blessed, conferred, delivered, donated, endowed, entrusted, furnished, gifted, granted, provided or supplied. Many derivates of this root are used in the Hoy Qor-aan.

A friend told me that for better results I should pray to GOD Almighty by addressing Him with His following names because their numerical value equals that in my name Abid Ali Buttar. My experience has been very positive.

The Master, The Provider                آلْمَلِكْ آلْرَزَٗاق                       Aul-ma-lik  Aur-rauz-zaa-q The Bestower, The Enabler   آلْمُنْعِمْنْ آلْمُسْتَطِيْعُنْ  Aul-moon-aiy-moon  Aul-moos-ta-te-oon The Life-Giver, The Creator      آلْمُحَيُٗ آلْخآ لِقُٗ        Aul-mo-huy-yooon  Aul-khaa-lay-qoon

  • هِىَ — Hay-ya — It (= pro., s., f., 3rd person. She. A/t/a, ‘it,’ ‘it was’ and ‘it became’)
  • ثُعۡبَانٌ — Tho-baa-noon — Big snake (= n., Big snake. Serpent. See Note 007:108 below)
  • مُّبِيۡنٍ — Mo-bee-n — Very clearly (= adj., Clear, manifest; obvious; open. See Note 004:021. A/t/a, ‘plain (for all to see),’ ‘plainly visible,’ ‘as a visible,’ ‘manifest’ and ‘a veritable’)

** Note 007:108: Author Malik Ghulam Farid in Note 1023 called it “significant” when he distinguished three different words that the Holy Qor-aan has used to describe the snake in which the rod, staff or stick of Moses appeared when it was placed in front of Pharoah.

The significance was the agility, bulk and length of the snake described by words  ثُعۡبَانٌ [thoe-baa-noon] in 007:108 and 026:033,  حَيَّةٌ  [hauy-ya-taun] in 020:021, and  جَآنٌّ   [jaan-na] in 027:011 and 028:032).

A snake is a snake, no matter how it appears or is described. The spiritual supremacy of the Prophet Moses was intended and established when onlookers saw the physical or ordinary stick turned into a snake.

The academic difference whether the stick turned into a snake or looked that way to the onlookers is not to be settled at this site. What is important is that the episode did occur. It was miraculous. It was a success story.
