Jumma Mubaraka!

O Allah, You are the Source of peace and the Giver of hope. Fill our hearts with calm in the midst of chaos and grant us certainty when we are unsure.

Guide our steps when we feel lost, and lift us when we are low. Place barakah in our time, sincerity in our actions, and light in our hearts.

O Allah, protect us from worries that distract, from words that harm, and from paths that lead us away from You.
