Q. Imaam, I need a general dua to make to a nonMuslim audience. It’s for a project to help the homeless and other needy. (personal email.)

A. Here is your general dua for a general English speaking audience.

O our Lord, we ask you to bless our gathering with all that we are to accomplish in this worldly life of ours. We ask You oh lord to bless us in the hereafter as a result of our noble deeds. We plead and seek your Mercy and Love at all times.

Oh Lord, we ask you to make our hearts continually generous towards the weak and needy. Let our hearts be continually kind towards the youth as well as the elderly. We ask You to give warmth and shelter to all, just like You have given us.

Oh Lord, we ask Your assistance in helping our state as well as our nation to remain on the path of prosperity, kindness and compassion towards all people. Let it be that our prosperity exists to assist people in doing good actions and maintaining all forms of good for humanity.

Oh Lord, You are the one that accepts prayers, and we ask you to accept ours, Ameen.

Allah Certainly Knows Best.
