MORNING PRAYERS




MORNING PRAYERS

1. O God! You are the Source of Peace, and all peace comes from You. Blessed are You and Exalted, Possessor of Majesty and Bounty!

And then:
2. Glory be to God! (Subhan Allah)  Praise be to God! (Al-hamdu lillah)  There is no god but God (La ilaha illallah), God is the Greatest (Allahu Akbar), and there is no strength or power except in God, the All-High, the All-Mighty. (La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah, Al 'Aliyyu, Al 'Azim).

1. Then one recites the Verse of the Throne (Ayat al-Kursi):

    "God! There is no god but He, the All-Living, the Self-Subsistent. Neither does slumber overtake Him nor sleep, and to Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth. Who can intercede with Him except by His leave? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they comprehend of His knowledge only that which He wills. His Throne encompasses the heavens and the earth, and maintaining them both tires Him not. He is the Exalted, the Sublime." (Baqara 2:255)
