Prayers of the Pious (28): If You Have Written Me From the Sinful

Can you change what has been decreed? Today’s episode covers `Umar’s (may Allah be pleased with him) prayer to be written amongst those who have been blessed.

“O Allah, if you have written me among the blessed, then affirm it therein. And if you have written me among the sinful and the damned, then wipe it away and affirm me among the blessed. Verily, you wipe away and affirm whatever you will, and with you is the mother of the Book.”
