| My
Rabb! if You had so wished, You could have destroyed them before
this, and me. Will You destroy us on account of what the foolish
among us have done? This is nothing but Your trial. You leave in
straying thereby whom You please and You guide whom You please.
You are our Protector, therefore forgive us and have Mercy on us,
for You are the Best of forgivers. (7:155) |

| During
the absence of Prophet Musa (pbh), Israilites took a calf as an
object of worship. When Musa returned to his people, he was angry
and sad at this development. Then Musa selected 70 men of unsound
faith for Allah's tryst. These people of dubious faith were overtaken
by an
earthquake.
At
that time, Musa (pbh) made this supplication to rescue the people
who were not at fault. |
