Picture Perfect : “Oh Compasionate One…”

“Oh Allah, indeed there are sins between me and You;
and there are sins between me and Your creation.
Oh Allah, what is this for You, so forgive me my sins;
and whatever arises from them, bear them for me
and enrich me with Your favour, for Your forgiveness spreads wide.
Oh Allah, enlighten the knowledge of my heart;
and render my body obedient to You;
and purify me from inner discord and occupy me with contemplation;
and protect me from the whisperings of Satan;
and save me from him, Oh Compassionate One,
until he no longer has any power over me.“
