--> 00:16:31,629 Except for one who knocks with good, O Most Merciful. 414 00:16:31,629 --> 00:16:33,629 O Allah, grant us security in our homelands. 415 00:16:33,629 --> 00:16:35,629 Reform our leaders. 416 00:16:35,629 --> 00:16:37,629 And those in authority over us. 417 00:16:37,629 --> 00:16:39,629 Expand our chests. 418 00:16:39,629 --> 00:16:41,629 Facilitate our affairs. 419 00:16:41,629 --> 00:16:43,629 And rectify our intentions and our offspring. 420 00:16:43,629 --> 00:16:45,629 Grant us a good conclusion to our lives. 421 00:16:45,629 --> 00:16:47,629 And take our souls while You are pleased with us. 422 00:16:47,629 --> 00:16:49,629 Grant us what we have wished for. 423 00:16:49,629 --> 00:16:51,629 And even more than what we have wished for. 424 00:16:51,629 --> 00:16:53,629 Of the good of this world and the Hereafter. 425 00:16:53,629 --> 00:16:55,629 O Allah, send peace and blessings upon our master Muhammad. 426 00:16:55,629 --> 00:16:57,629 And upon all his family and companions. 427 00:16:57,629 --> 00:16:59,629 And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
