Prayer with Our Intent
اَللّٰهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُوْا فَلَا تَكِلْنِيْ إِلٰى نَفْسِيْ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَّأَصْلِحْ لِيْ شَأْنِيْ كُلَّهُۥ لَآ إِلٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنْتَ
O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, do not leave me by myself for even the duration of an eye blink, and correct my total condition. Besides You, there is none worthy of worship.
