Praise be to Allah, the Lord of Creations, and Peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad, the faithful and the honest.

Oh, Allah, we know nothing but what You teach us. You are the All- Knower, the Wise. Oh Allah, teach us what is good for us, and benefit us from what You taught us, and increase our knowledge. Show us the righteous things as righteous and help us to do them, and show us the bad things as bad and help us to keep away from them.

God’s Messenger, Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Whoever sees a defect in a Muslim and overlooks it is like one who saves a young girl who has been buried alive.”

(Related by Al-Bukhari in Al-Adab Al-Mufrad and Ahmad).
