"Ya AIlah,I seek refuge in You from distress and cowardice. I seek refuge
from weakness and procrastination, from stinginess and cowardice. I seek
refuge in You from indebtedness and from subjugation to people's inequity"

Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (evil) with what is better; then the
enmity between him and you will become as if it were your friend and intimate!
