experience something of this, place your hand on it and say: 'In the
Name of Allah and by Allah. O Allah. You have blessed me with faith
and entrusted me with the QURAN, and bestowed on me fasting in the
month of Ramadan. Grant me mercy and acceptance and compassion and
forgiveness and all that You have conferred on me of blessings and
beneficence. O Compassionate, O Benefactor, O Everlasting,O Merciful,
Glory be to You,. I have no one but You, Glory be to You. I take
refuge in You after these expressions of esteem, from abasement. I ask
