It is a Gift

I won't be posting for a while, so I thought I'd leave you all with a beautiful prayer.

It's taken from Sh. Muzaffer Ozak al-Jerrahi's "Adornment of Hearts," page 137. It's listed as his gift 'to dervishes and friends:'

Allahumma ya mufattihu fattih umuruna ala-l-khayri
wa-llahu khayrun hafizan wa huwa arhamu-r-rahimin
(translation: O Allah, O Opener! Open the way for establishing our affairs in goodness
Allah is the Supreme Guardian, the Most Merciful of the merciful)
The Sheikh recommends that whoever recites this invocation seven times after their morning prayer, Allah will make his life prosper.
May we all benefit from this invocation. It may bring light, to our darkest hours.
