All Happenings at WVMA

Jumma Mubaraka!

O Allah, You know what weighs on our hearts even when we cannot put it into words. Ease what feels heavy, mend what is broken, and bring peace to what is unsettled.

Surround us with Your mercy, guide us gently through every test, and bless us with contentment in all that You have written for us.

Make us among those who trust You fully, love You deeply, and remember You often. Let our days be filled with purpose, our hearts with light, and our lives with meaning. Ameen.
