Summary
Our minds often focus on the external aspects of Sunnah, like eating, drinking, and dressing.
But there is also an internal Sunnah, related to the heart.
This includes the humility, generosity, and trust in Allah (tawakkul) of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Just as we strive to follow the external Sunnah, we should also strive to emulate the internal Sunnah.
We ask for Allah's help to adopt these internal Sunnahs.
We seek purification and softening of our hearts, acknowledging our immense sins and impurities.
We are weak and unable to cleanse ourselves, depending solely on Allah's infinite grace and mercy.
We ask Allah to change our evil deeds into good ones and remove evils from our records.
We pray for our parents, for the ability to serve them with love and respect, to make them happy, and for their forgiveness towards us.
We ask Allah to remove discord and create mutual love and compassion between spouses.
We pray for unity among family members, brothers, and sisters, and within the entire Muslim community, removing all forms of enmity caused by worldly desires.
We ask Allah to remove all difficulties, calamities, and especially the current pandemic from the world.
We acknowledge that nothing happens without Allah's explicit permission and that He alone has the power to remove any effect from anything.
We humbly ask Allah to accept all our supplications, based on His boundless mercy, generosity, and the blessedness of this night and the Month of Ramadan, and by virtue of being the Ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
