THE KORAN:  ISLAMIC LORD’S PRAYER

 

PRAISE BE TO GOD,

LORD OF THE WORLDS!

THE COMPASSIONATE,

THE MERCIFUL!

KING ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT!

THEE ONLY DO WE WORSHIP,

AND TO THEE DO WE CRY FOR HELP.

GUIDE THOU US ON THE RIGHT PATH,

THE PATH OF THOSE

TO WHOM THOU ART GRACIOUS;

NOT OF THOSE WITH WHOM

THOU ART ANGERED,

NOR OF THOSE

WHO GO ASTRAY.

 

 

 

 

 

This is from:

[First posted in 2013. The original introduction:

 

There was a time as close-minded Christians, Sinaites would not venture outside our church boundaries to read anything other than Christian literature;  and certainly not ‘prayers’ or expressions of faith unless they ended “in Jesus’ name.”  And yet, in our Sinaite library, we have a coffee table book featuring beautiful photography by Kulbir Thandi, used to illustrate the phases of life and prayers relating to the images of children,  of rites of passage in various phases of life:  for marriage, recovery and renewal, for peace, and ‘in memoriam.’  Since our whole perspective has changed since we left Christianity and we learned to embrace and be more understanding of world religions,  it would be a pity not to share the contents of this collection of prayers. So as part of our “Worship Aids” section, we are featuring selected prayers in this series that carry the simple one-word book title  – “AMEN”. 

 

May the true Elohim who revealed His name as YHWH be praised by these expressions of worship inspired by the simple awareness of people of faith that He exists,  that He desires to be honored, by His crown of creation— humanity,  even more so by and especially coming from  “uncircumcised lips“.  Expect the prayers to be posted in a series, this post is simply the Introduction.–Admin1].
