Prayer - I Seek Thy Refuge

1
O Allah! I seek Thy refuge from anxiety and grief and I seek Thy refuge from lack of strength and laziness and I seek Thy refuge from cowardice and niggardliness and I seek Thy refuge from being overpowered by debt and the oppression of men. O Allah! Suffice Thou me with what is lawful to keep me away from what is prohibited and with Thy grace make me free of want of what is beside Thee. “We ‐ the lost founds – should repeat the above prayer seven times a day. For it sums up our greatest hindrance to freedom and self‐independence” The Honorable Elijah Muhammad MESSAGE TO THE BLACKMAN, pg 152
