Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

to be led by it into Your paradise.

O Allah!
We seek Your protection
from wretchedness in bearing it,
from blindness in practising it,
from deviating from its precepts,
from swerving from its middle path
and disregarding its right.

O Allah!
Lighten for us its burden,
appoint for us its reward,
inspire us to give thanks for it,
and enable us to observe it and secure it.

O Allah!
Enable us to pursue what it declares as lawful,
to avoid what it asserts to be unlawful,
to observe its bounds,
and to fulfill its obligations.

O Allah!
Grant us sweetness of its recitation,
animation in its performance,
awe in its recitals,
and strength in putting it into practice
in the watches of the night and at the ends of the day.
