Prayers of the Pious (3): A Covenant with Allah

Sheikh Omar Suleiman discusses the power of making covenants with Allah through the prayer of `Abdullah ibn Mas`ud, and the sincerity covenants can bring to your own du`a’.

“O Allah, Originator of the heavens and earth, Knower of the seen and unseen, I testify in this worldly life of mine that if You leave me to myself, You are by that bringing my closer to harm and distancing me from good. I have no confidence except in Your mercy, so let that be a covenant that You deliver to me on the Day of Judgment — for You never break Your promises.”
