Two Songs That Soothe the Heart
Contents
Introduction to Devotional Prayers
Here are two devotional verses that can soothe the heart.
First Devotion: Longing for Goodness
- O Allah, I long to do what is good, yet my strength is so limited.
- Forgive my shortcomings, and do not leave me to the burden of my sins.
Second Devotion: The Al-I’tiraaf Poem
إلهي لست للفردوس أهلاً ولا أقوى على نار الجحيم فهب لي توبة واغفر ذنوبي فإنك غافر الذنب العظيم وعاملني معاملة الكريم وثبتني على النهج القويم
“O my Lord, I am not worthy of Paradise, yet I am not strong enough to endure the fire of Hell. Grant me repentance and forgive my sins, for You are the One who forgives even the gravest sin. Treat me with the generosity that belongs to You, and keep me firm upon the straight path.”
