Dowa | Dervish Healing Order

Save me, my Lord, from the earthly passions and the attachments

which blind mankind.

Save me, my Lord, from the temptations of power, fame and wealth,

which keep man away from Thy glorious vision.

Save me, my Lord, from the souls who are constantly occupied

in hurting and harming their fellowman

and who take pleasure in the pain of another.

Save me, my Lord, from the evil eye of envy and jealousy,

which falleth upon Thy bountiful gifts.

Save me, my Lord, from falling into the hands of the playful children of earth,

lest they might use me in their games; they might play with me and

then break me in the end, as children destroy their toys.

Save me, my Lord, from all manner of injury that cometh from

the bitterness of my adversaries and

from the ignorance of my loving friends.

— Amen
