For Relief From Anxiety & Grief

For Relief From Anxiety & Grief

O He who is sufficient from all things

But nothing is sufficient from Him

Be sufficient for me in what worries me in the state I am.

- Imam Taqi Al Jawad(as)

Lord, if I worship You from the fear of Hell, then let me burn in Hell. If I worship You for the hope of Paradise, then deny me admittance to it. But if I worship You out of reverence for You alone, then do not deny me the joy of Your Eternal Beauty.

-Rabi'a, "Rabi'a the Mystic"

From "The Bounty of Allah," translated by Aneela Khalid Arshed.
