Dear God.

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Dear God,

You know me best, better than myself.

I heard it said that we were made in God's image. I do not know if this is true. I also heard it said that God is too great to be imagined, beyond the human imagination. I think this has a greater likelihood of truth, but I also instinctively feel that humans beings cannot be so much below and insignificant to God, or else why would (He) have made us and made us khalifah on this earth?

Well, as I was saying, you know me better than myself. Please bring me peace, and guide me to the path that has your approval and blessing, and restrain me from things that will harm me, that I know not of. Yet give me enough knowledge, good and true knowledge so that I will become someone useful in society.

Please grant me peace and happiness, on this life and the life after. I am just one girl, an insignificant being but I want to lead a greater life, only I do not know how. Only with your permission. Please make me a better worshipper, please let me be among those who is granted mercy and privilege by you.
