Supplication

O' my Allah! preserve
(the grace of) my face with easiness of life and do not disgrace
my countenance with destitution, lest I may have to beg a
livelihood from those who beg from Thee, try to seek the favour of
Thy evil creatures, engage myself in praising those who give to
me, and be tempted in abusing those who do not give to me,
although behind all these Thou art the master of giving and
denying.
. . . Verily Thou over
all things, art the All-powerful. (Qur'an, 66:8)
