Jumma Mubaraka!

Ya Allah, Ya Rahman our hearts are heavy and our needs vast. We ask for deep healing and strength which only comes from You. The world is heavy and our hearts are feeling its weight. Ya Allah grant us ease and strength through the blessings of our beautiful faith. Free the oppressed, heal the sick and injured, forgive our deceased, grant strength to the students and all those standing up and sacrificing for justice. Oh Allah none can relieve our burdens but You, none can come to our aid if not You. Do not leave us to ourselves, ya Allah, not even for the blink of an eye.
