“The best supplication is to implore for God’s pleasure and deliverance from sins, as sins harden the heart and turn a person into a slave of this world. Hence, our supplication ought to be that God Almighty may remove from us the sins that harden our hearts and show us the path of His pleasure.”
(Al Badr, 24 August 1904; Malfuzat [1984], Vol. 7, p. 39)
