O Allah! You are my Lord! None has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am Your slave, and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as much as I can.

So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You. ...

   Rabbi-shrahli sadri. Wa yassirli amri. Wa-hlul ‘uqdatamin lisani. Yafqahu qawli:  My Rabb! Expand for me my breast, and make my affair easy for me, and release the knot from my tongue, so they may understand my speech. Qur’an: Surah Ta’ha 20: 25-28 Allah (subhana wa ta’ala) asked Musa (alaihi salaam- may peace be upon him) to go to Pharoah and preach about Islam. Musa (alaihi salaam), because he had a stammering problem, thought he would not be able to speak to Pharoah and his people. He thought people would not understand him, so he prayed to Allah with this du’a to cure him from his speech problem and make it easy for people to understand him. We may not have stammering problem, but many times we cannot properly express our ideas. Sometimes what we say does not make sense to others, or does not come out right. This du’a teaches us to pray to Allah to make our thoughts and speech clear so that other people may understand us.

As Immanuel Kant, a famous philosopher said that "Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life."  So, if wisdom enables a person to make more sound decisions, take a shortcut path to success, recalibrate values for the better, and simply live a better life, then why not spend time reflecting on our own experiences as well as learning from others? As Will Durant, a renowned philosopher and Pulitzer Prize winner stated, "A wise man can learn from another man's experience; a fool cannot learn even from his own." The words of the Quran and teachings of our prophet Muhammad guide us to a wealth of wisdom and knowledge. In fact, Allah calls Quran the "Book o...
