(183) O Allah, just as You come between me and my heart, so come
between me and the Shaytan and his machinations. O Allah, endow
us with Your bounty, deprive us not of Your sustenance, bless us in

put in us the desire for that which is with You.

You became sufficient for them, who sought guidance from You and
You guided them, and who sought help from You and You helped

cunning friend: This is referring to an enemy that poses to be a
friend. It is said that an enemy giving a friendly smile is like the
hanzalah plant (colocynth). Its leaves look green and refreshing.
But tasting it causes great pain and can lead to death.
if he sees good, he buries it, and if he sees something bad he
announces it: One wonders at how accurately this description fits
the mainstream media and their coverage of Islam and Muslims.
wretchedness and display of poverty: (اَلْبُؤْسِ وَالتَّبَاؤُس) : These words
imply a display of one's real or feigned sorry state to attract pity.
This has been condemned in ahadith. According to a hadith, the
Prophet 1, said,
إذا آتاك الله مالا فلير عليك، فإن الله يحب أن يرى أثره على عبده حسنا،
ولا يحب البؤس ولا التباؤس (البخاري في التاريخ والطبراني في الكبير عن زهير
بن أبي علقمة)

has become a preferred tool for eliciting charity in the media age.

who turn to You in sincere repentance. I beseech You for deeds that
will be accepted, knowledge that will lead to success, efforts that will
be appreciated, and a business that will never fail.
