PRAYERS 7 11. Comprehensive Prayer for Forgiveness of Sins, for Mercy and for Victory over the Enemy This prayer comprises of the last two verses of S u rah Al-Baqarah. Hadrat Ab u Mas‘ u d ra relates that the Holy Prophet sa said reciting these two verses before retiring at night is more than enough. Moreover they are from among the treasure of Heavens which has not been given to any Prophet before the Holy Prophet sa. 9 Regarding these two verses the Holy Prophet sa emphasised that we must remember them and make our family remember them because these are based jointly on the s a la t , Qur’ a n and supplication. (Only the supplication part of these verses is being printed here). 10 مسَِﻌْﻨَﺎوَأَﻃَﻌْﻨَﺎﻏُﻔْﺮَاﻧَﻚَ رَﺑَّﻨَﺎ وَإِﻟَﻴْﻚَ املَْﺼِريُ. (Al-Baqarah 2:286) We hear and we obey. We implore Your forgiveness, O our Lord, and to You is the returning. 12.

(Al-Baqarah 2:287) Our Lord, do not punish us, if we forget or fall into error; and our Lord, lay not on us a responsibility as You did lay upon those before us; Our Lord, burden us not with what we have not the strength to bear; and efface our sins, and grant us forgiveness and have mercy on us; You are our Master; so help us You against the disbelieving people.
