Jumma Mubaraka!

Oh Allah grant us clarity in these times of uncertainty and keep us firm on the truth in these times of trials. Oh Allah grant relief to our brothers and sisters around the world who are under oppression, tyranny, and war. Grant our brother and sisters a swift victory. Dont let us ever take our blessings for granted. Allow us to use every blessing in pursuit of Your pleasure and to see every difficulty as a means of reward. We leave our affairs to You and we ask You for firm resolve that we make sincere efforts while knowing You are in complete control. There is no might and no power except with You, there is no safety and no shelter except in You, there is nothing for us but You, Allah. Forgive us, have mercy on us, and do not leave us to ourselves for even the blink of an eye.
