Perseverance — Page viii
A Personal Note from Rashid Ahmad American This is the prayer that leads to God. All who want to meet Him should recite and reflect upon its profound words: In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds, the Gracious, the Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment. Thee Alone do we worship and Thee Alone do we implore for help. Guide us on the right path – the path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed blessings, those who have not incurred displeasure, and those who have not gone astray. [ A m i n ]
