The Prayer of the Oppressed

The Prayer of the Oppressed is a supplication written by Imam Muhammad al-Dar'i of Morocco. It asks God for mercy, for justice to be restored and for harm to stop. It does not ask for the destruction of anyone.

Hamza Yusuf translated the prayer into English and wrote a long introduction on oppression: where it comes from and how a believer should respond to it. Sandala publishes this hardcover edition.
