MOSLEM PRAYER

(as read in front of Meher Baba)

 
Prelude — "God is Great! God is Great! God is Great! I bear witness that there is no one greater than God. This is the word of the Prophet. This is the word of the Prophet This is the word of the Prophet. I bear witness and say that Mohammed is the Chosen of God. Come for prayer, Come for prayer. Come towards success. God is the greatest of all! God is the greatest of all! God is the greatest of all! There is none who is fit to be worshipped but God. There is none who is fit to be worshipped but God. There is none who is fit to be worshipped but God."

Prayer — "I begin in the name of God, Who is kind and merciful. All praise be to God, Who is the Preserver of the whole world; Who is kind and merciful. He is the Master of the Day of Resurrection. O God! We pray to You and we seek only Your help. Show us the path of righteousness. Show me the path which will bestow on me Thy mercy, and not calamity, by which I may reach my goal, and not fall in a pit."

"O Prophet Mohammed! Tell the infidels that I do not pray to whom they pray, and they do not pray to the One to Whom I pray. I neither pray to the One to whom you pray, nor do you pray to the One to whom I pray. Your religion is with you, mine is with me. Holy is my God, Who is also Mighty. God has heard the one who has praised Him. O my God! All praise should be attributed to You. My God is high and holy. All thoughts, words and deeds are for God. My obeisance to you, Prophet Mohammed, on whom is bestowed the grace of God. May that grace descend also on me, and on His believers. I bear witness that there is none greater than God, and that Mohammed is the Prophet of God."
