Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali Prayer

Praise be to him
who alone is to be praised.

Praise him
for his grace and favour.

Praise him
for his power and goodness.

Praise him
whose knowledge encompasses all things.

O God, grant me light in my heart
and light in my tomb,
light in my hearing
and light in my seeing,
light in my flesh,
light in my blood
and light in my bones.

Light before me,
light behind me,
light to right of me,
light to left of me,
light above me,
light beneath me.

O God, increase my light
and give me the greatest light of all.

Of thy mercy grant me light,
O thou most merciful.
