“O Allah,
Place light in my heart,
Light in my speech,
Light in my hearing,
Light in my seeing,
Light above me,
Light beneath me,
Light on the right of me,
Light on the left of me,
Light before me,
Light behind me,
O Allah,
Place light in my soul,
And bestow upon me light.”

The original Arabic version is beautiful and very lyrical. The Arabic word for light is Noor. In Islamic faith, and according to The Qur’an, Allah, the Creator of the universe, is the source of all light of the heavens and the earth. The prayer seeks protection for every part of our physical being and our soul from going astray by our moral lapses and inattention. It seeks manifestation of the Supreme Light in our lives so that we are surrounded by spiritual grace and virtue that will allow us to strengthen our faith, enable us to speak well and honourably with others, keep us away from listening to speech that is not beneficial and to walk on the path of goodness and blessing.
