All Happenings at WVMA

Jumma Mubaraka!

Oh Allah do not let us feel weak in front of anyone but You. Do not let us be in complete need of anyone but You. And do not let us live or die except that it be for You. Oh Allah take control of our affairs, forgive us for our sins, have mercy on us. Help our brothers and sisters in Palestine. Help our brothers and sisters in Sudan. Remove the oppression, bring them justice and freedom. Raise the martyrs rank upon rank and grant increased strength and relief to those they left behind. Help our brothers and sisters at home, and around the world to overcome whatever they may be afflicted with. Help us those of us living in blessings to use each one those blessings as a means of attaining Your nearness and pleasure.
