Muslim supplications for peace and brotherhood

Compiled by Jason Erb,

Prayers should open with Surat al-Fatiha:

 

Praise be to God, Lord of all worlds

The Merciful, the Compassionate

Master of the Day of Judgment

It is You alone we worship and it is You alone we ask for help

Guide us to the straight path,

the path of those upon whom you have bestowed favors,

not those against whom You are angry,

nor of those who are astray.

 

 

A Muslim Prayer for Peace

 

Oh Eternal God, we pray for the souls of those whose lives are so

cruelly snatched away in violence and war; we know that you receive

them tenderly into your loving embrace.

 

Oh Compassionate God, we humbly ask you to comfort their families,

loved ones and all of the anguished and help us to find peace in

times of chaos and crisis.

 

Oh all-Loving God, help each of us recognize our human kinship to

each other and instill your love in all of our hearts.

 

Oh God of Protection, show all people the way to protect each and

every human life from acts of brutality and inhumanity.

 

Oh God, the Restorer, let all us work hand in hand to restore our

faith in each other, our faith in doing the good, and our faith in

the promise of peace.

 

Oh God of Unity, we pray that you help Muslims, Christians, Jews,

and all people of faith to unite against all sources of evil and

take a firm stand against enmity, hatred, injustice and

divisiveness.

 

Oh He who is Truth and Light, let the truth of your message of peace

bring the light of wisdom and patience to all of our hearts.

 

Oh Most Generous God, let us all give generously of our selves, our

time, our skills, our financial resources, and most importantly our

prayers to the daunting task of assisting the victims and rebuilding

cities, countries and societies wracked by war and conflict.

 

Oh God all-Wise, plant the seeds of true wisdom in each of our

hearts so that we may come to truly love each other and respect each

other as you teach us to do through your prophets and your

revelations.

 

Oh God of Hope, remind us all that hope is like the most determined

flower that springs up in full bloom even in the harshest of

environments.

 

Oh God of Peace, help us to always remain hopeful that truth,

justice, mutual love, respect and peace will prevail despite the

efforts of those who conspire against it. Certainly God's mercy

and justice is everlasting, but the acts of His creatures are

ephemeral.

 

Noha Bakr, September 11, 2001 (revised March, 13 2003)

 

 

 

" The world is in turmoil today. People everywhere are anxious about

the future. What they need is the soothing, uniting, elevating

spiritual message of Sahaja Yoga. They have to be enabled to

experience " Self-Realization " and thereby attain inner

transformation. Only then they will begin to regard all human beings

as members of one large human family regardless of their race,

culture etc. Only then will they discard hatred and violence.

 

Sahaja Yogis have a momentous responsibility at this crucial time

in human history. They have to spread Sahaja Yoga in all the parts of

the world by written and spoken word.

 

For this purpose, a well thought out approach is needed. I entrust

this crucially important task to a new " WORLD COUNCIL FOR

THE ADVANCEMENT OF SAHAJA YOGA. "
