Prayers of Gratitude and Thanks
It is essential for Muslims to express gratitude to their Lord for allowing them to witness the blessed month of Ramadan and to engage in acts of worship. Below are some prayers of thanks:
- Invoke (Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alamin), and say: “Praise be to Allah, abundant and good, as He loves and is pleased.” This kind of praise can be found in the Holy Qur’an.
- The sayings of our noble Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) contain beautiful formulations of praise for Allah, including: “Alhamdulillah, a praise that matches His blessings and rewards for His grace.”
Prayers for Forgiveness and Repentance
Muslims should continuously seek forgiveness for their sins and shortcomings in their devotion to Allah. Here are several prayers suitable for sharing during Eid Al-Fitr:
- The chief of all prayers for forgiveness is the Hadith of our Prophet (peace be upon him): “O Allah, You are my Lord; there is no deity but You. You created me, and I am Your servant. I am steadfast in my covenant with You as best as I am able. I seek refuge in You from the evil I have committed. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me and admit my sins; forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.” This supplication can be recited in the morning and evening by both men and women.
- From the teachings of the Prophet (peace be upon him): “O Lord, forgive my errors and ignorance, and excess in my affairs. What You know about me is more than I know. O Allah, forgive my transgressions, my willful disobedience, my negligence, and my foolishness, for they are all before You. O Allah, forgive my previous and subsequent sins, what I have concealed and what I have disclosed. You are the Expediter and the Delayer, and You are capable of all things.”
- Another prayer from our Prophet (peace be upon him): “O Allah, I have wronged myself greatly, and no one forgives sins except You. So forgive me with a forgiveness that comes from You, and have mercy on me, for indeed, You are the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.”
