The Alawite Book: His supplication seeking refuge from show-off
(84)
His supplication seeking refuge from
show-off
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O Allah! I seek refuge from You in being with goodness among people
and my inner self is full of defects in Your presence. I conceal my inner
self just to portray my outer self to the people but You are aware of the
true position better than me. It is as if I show people goodness and my
evil defects are clear to You, so that I am beloved of Your creatures and
far away from Your Pleasure.
