I am not expecting instant answers or solutions, I am working for the afterlife not for just this world.
My prayers are for patience in hardships,wisdom when troubled,blessings for me and the people I care about,prayers to help me keep myself away from bad deeds and nearer to good deeds.
In every prayer we pray for blessings on the Family of Abraham (which includes all the Prophets descending from him) and Muhammad (peace be upon them all).In every prayer we pray to be saved from the Dajjal(antichrist),to be saved from Hellfire,to be saved from the punishment of the grave,from the trials and tribulations of this world.
In every prayer we pray for forgiveness and to be included among the righteous people.
And we pray 5 times each day of the obligatory prayers...which is not counting the non-obligatory prayers during the day and night.
In all of these instances I accept the decree of the Almighty,that He is all wise and Most Just.
