The free booklet “Muslim Prayer Handbook for Beginners” has been available for several years at the Islamic booth at Toronto’s Dundas Square.

The booklet recommends Muslims to recite a number of prayers to Allah to overcome and defeat the enemies of Islam who are identified as the disbelieving people. Here are excerpts from the booklet:

“Du’a [prayer] To overcome enemies

“Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and our transgressions, establish our feet firmly, and give us victory over the disbelieving people. [3:147]”

رَبَّنَا اغفِر لَنا ذُنوبَنا وَإِسرافَنا في أَمرِنا وَثَبِّت أَقدامَنا وَانصُرنا عَلَى القَومِ الكافِرينَ

[…]

[Prayer] for Patience and endurance

“Our Lord! Bestow on us patience, make our foothold sure, and give us help against the disbelieving folk. [2:250]”

رَبَّنا أَفرِغ عَلَينا صَبرًا وَثَبِّت أَقدامَنا وَانصُرنا عَلَى القَومِ الكافِرينَ

“The most comprehensive Supplication

“Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget, or fall into error. Our Lord! Let not on us a burden like that which You laid on those before us. Our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us forgiveness . Have mercy on us. You are our protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving people. [2:286]”

رَبَّنا لا تُؤاخِذنا إِن نَسينا أَو أَخطَأنا ۚ رَبَّنا وَلا تَحمِل عَلَينا إِصرًا كَما حَمَلتَهُ عَلَى الَّذينَ مِن قَبلِنا ۚ رَبَّنا وَلا تُحَمِّلنا ما لا طاقَةَ لَنا بِهِ ۖ وَاعفُ عَنّا وَاغفِر لَنا وَارحَمنا ۚ أَنتَ مَولانا فَانصُرنا عَلَى القَومِ الكافِرينَ

The Jews and the Christians are included in the Islamic definition of disbelieving people.
