The Miracle prayer

 

The great mercy of Allah

 

A woman came to prophet Moses who was able to speak with Allah. She asked him to ask his God so she will have children. Prophet Moses asked Allah to bless the women with children. Allah said to him: Moses, I have already decided that she is to be sterile.

The woman came back to prophet Moses. He told her: "I did ask Allah, but Allah said to me: Moses, I have already decided that she is to be sterile".  A year later the same woman came up asking him yet again to ask Allah to bless her with children. Moses went back and asked Allah again to bless the woman with children. Allah replied with the same answer; that it was already decided that the woman was to be sterile. Moses told the woman with the reply he received.

A few years later, the woman came to prophet Moses and she was carrying a baby in her arms. Moses asked the woman: whose this child you have with you? The woman replied: This is my child, Allah blessed me with it. Prophet Moses asked Allah: O' God, you have decided that she was to be sterile. Allah (may He be exulted) said: Each time I decided she is sterile, she called me: "O' Merciful", Each time I decided she is sterile, she called me: "O' Merciful", consequently My mercy did overcome My decision.

 

Here is the prayer:

O' Lord, the ever Living, the Eternal, the one upon whom the existence of all depends. I ask you with your great, blessed and holy name, the name with which if you are asked you respond, and with which if you are asked for a mercy you send your mercies, and with which if you are asked you will ease the suffering, I ask you to make us in this life accepted by you, and to elevate us to your highest levels. We ask you to forgive our sins, and the sins of all Muslims. O' Lord, grant us forgiveness, health and guide us to the straight path.
