I have many questions.

[Mahasvapna]

The phonetics go something like;


Aa_oo_thoo_bil_laa_he_minash_shay_tau_nir_ra_jeem.


Two vowels means stretch the letter In the above;


Aa as in 'Agh' - from the back of the throat . oo as in 'moon'. Laa as in 'air', tau like as in door. 'ra' - trilled r-raw. jeem as in 'regime'.


English speakers need to remember to 'trill' the "Rs"...'r_r_r' instead of just 'R". Otherwise it will sound like e.g. "Speaker" ends up sounding like "speaka".


Put your heart and soul into saying this prayer. This is a huge prayer. Learn it and let it dissolve into your heart. So when you say it, it's not coming off your tongue but rising up from your heart in a plea to God.


"Aa_oo_thoo_bil_laa_he_minash_shay_tau_nir_rajeem." - "I seek refuge in Allah from satan the outcast."


The purpose of this prayer is to ask protection from the whisperings of satan. As soon as you start thinking about the "truth of this world" he will swarm over you like a 'rash'. He will make you drift off in thoughts to anything other than the truth. That's his job.


As you learn, you just watch. Sometimes when you lean up against the 'truth' satan will cast drowsiness over you. But as soon as you change your thoughts to something else like football or whatever, whammo, instant awakeness and clarity of thought. Then he will up and depart like a fog in the morning. Another job well done.

Yes, I was able to find an audio recording that Muslimah pointed me towards. Written words are my preferred medium, though, so seeing the phonetics makes it easier to reproduce what i can hear.


This conceptual prayer is always in my mind and heart. I always seek guidance to truth, and discernment between illusion and reality. I do not get drowsy or have any adverse emotional reaction when I seek out the Truth. I am more disciplined than that, and my emotions to not hold sway over my awareness any longer. I believe the cornerstone of awareness is the ability to settle and quiet the mind, which I have achieved for this reason.


In any case, all prayers are Good if they are in the right spirit. We shall see.


Namaste and many thanks for taking the time to expand the explanation.
