 *"O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Your favour which You have bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such that You will approve; and make righteous  for me my offspring. Indeed, i have repented   to You and indeed, I am of the  Muslims."*

*"Our Lord! make us Muslims, bowing to Your (Will), and of our progeny a people Muslim, bowing to Your (will); and show us our place for the celebration of (due) rites; and turn unto us (in Mercy); for You are the Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.*
