A short prayer by Ṣubḥ-i-Azal for nullifying black magic and sorcery
November 29th, 2013, posted in Dua
I take refuge in God with the name of God and by God in what God hath willed! Sufficient is God for there is no other god but God! I take refuge in God, the Lord of the Names and the Attributes! I take refuge in God, the fashioner of the essences! I take refuge in God, the Lord of the paradoxical signs! I seek success through God ! I seek beneficence from God ! I seek sufficiency in God! I seek the protection of my soul in the versical-signs of God ! I seek victory through God! I seek assistance from God! I take refuge in God and seek haven for my soul, and what is connected to it, by the versical-signs of God! I take refuge in God from the bewitching of evil doers! I take refuge in God from the sorcery of lies! I take refuge in God from the carnal bodies and the horizons and that which is connected to them of black sorcery, for verily God shall void and extinguish it, for It is the greatest Knower by the Covenant-Pact !!

Surat Al-Asr
September 27th, 2013, posted in Islam
103. Surah Al Asr (The Declining Day, The Time)
Name
The Surah takes its name from the word al-`asr occurring in the first verse.
Period of Revelation
Although Mujahid, Qatadah and Muqatil regard it as a Madani Surah, yet a great majority of the commentators opine that it is Makki; its subject matter also testifies that it must have been sent down in the earliest stage at Makkah, when the message of Islam was being presented in brief but highly impressive sentences so that the listeners who heard them once could not forget them even if they wanted to, for they were automatically committed to memory.
Theme and Subject Matter
This Surah is a matchless specimen of comprehensiveness and brevity. A whole world of meaning has been compressed into its few brief words, which is too vast in content to be fully expressed even in a book. In it, in a clear and plain way it has been stated what is the way to true success for man and what is the way to ruin and destruction for him. Imam Shafi has very rightly said that if the people only considered this Surah well, it alone would suffice them for their guidance. How important this Surah was in the sight of the Companions can be judged from the tradition cited from Hadrat Abdullah bin Hisn ad-Darimi Abu Madinah, according to which whenever any two of them met they would not part company until they had recited Surah Al-Asr to each other.
