Among the morning azkar is a plea for relief through Allah's mercy: "O Ever-Living, O Sustainer, by Your mercy I seek relief; set right all my affairs and do not leave me to myself for the blink of an eye." It is a mighty supplication by which the believer entrusts every matter to Allah.
O Ever-Living, O Sustainer of all existence, by Your mercy I seek relief. Set right all my affairs and do not leave me to myself for even the blink of an eye. It is a plea to be entrusted to Allah's care rather than one's own weakness.
