Jumma Mubaraka!

Oh Allah grant us strength to stand for justice no matter who we stand up against. Grant us the courage to face all challenges knowing that You are in full control. Do not burden us with more than we can bear, and keep us firm on the truth. Allow us to live our lives in the best of ways and leave this earth in the best of ways. Grant us from Your pleasure, mercy, and grace to be worthy of being from the ummah of Muhammad (s).
