You guide us when we are lost.
Yā Wadūd.
Plant Your love in our hearts.
Make us among those You love and who love You.
Replace fragile human love with Your eternal love.
Let Your love be the light of our hearts,
the strength of our deeds,
and the salvation of our souls on the Day we meet You.
Āmīn.
