Whispered Prayer of the Abstainers

1- My God, Thou hast settled us in an abodewhich has dug for us pits of deception, and Thou hast fastened us by the hands of deathin the snares of that abode's treachery! In Thee we seek asylumfrom the tricks of its guile, and to Thee we hold fast, lest we be deludedby the glitter of its ornaments! It destroys its pursuersand ruins its settlers, it is stuffed with blightsand loaded with calamities. 2- My God, induce us to renounce itand keep us safe from it by Thy giving success and Thy preservation from sin. Strip from us the robes of opposing Thee, attend to our affairs through Thy good sufficiency, amplify our increase from the boundless plenty of Thy mercy, be liberal in our gifts from the overflow of Thy grants, plant in our hearts the trees of Thy love, complete for us the lights of Thy knowledge, give us to taste the sweetness of Thy pardon and the pleasure of Thy forgiveness, gladden our eyes on the day of meeting Theewith the vision of Thee, dislodge the love of this world from our spirits, just as Thou hast done for the righteous, Thy selected friends, and for the pious, those whom Thou hast singled out! O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Most Generous of the most generous!
