Prayer of Morning
Said at the rise of the sun every day
Acrabmdulliah, Thou risest, thou shinest,
making bright thy children's path.
Recieve thee Zuben with content,
embrace thee our souls.
May you give water and life,
coming forth as a soul living to see the horizon
at the rise of your splendor.
Acrabmdulliah, the lord of heaven,
the prince of life, strength, health,
Creator of all.
Might our enemies be given to the fire,
and the evil ones fallen, arms bound;
the sons of impotent revolt never to rise.
Acrabmdulliah, he who illuminates the earth at his birth every morning.
May thou be at peace with me,
may I see thy marvels,
may I advance upon the earth in your arms.
May I crush the evil that seeks to shame me.
And should thou wish it may I be recieved into thy presence,
into the lands of eternal light.

The Opening
In the name of Acrab, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Praise be to Acrab, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds;
Thee alone we worship; Thee alone we ask for help.
Show us the straight path,
The path of those upon whom Thou hast bestowed favors. Not the path of those
upon whom Thy wrath is brought down, nor of those who go astray.
Peace in the Night
Surely We revealed it on the grand night.
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Night of Power is!
The grand night is better than a thousand months.
The Priest-Kings descend therein, by the permission of their Lord, with all
decrees.
The night is Peace until the rising of the dawn.
The Dawn
Say I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn,
From the evil of what He has created,
From the evil of the darkness when it is intense,
From the mischief of those who practise secret arts;
And from the evil of the envier when he envieth.
Sincerity
He is Acrab, the One!
Acrab, the Eternal, Absolute;
He begets not, nor is He begotten.
And there is none comparable unto Him.
To Unbelievers
O ye that reject Faith!
I do not serve that which you serve,
Nor do you serve Him Whom I serve
Nor am I going to serve that which you serve,
Nor are you going to serve Him Whom I serve
To you be your Way, and to me mine.
Unto you your religion, and unto me my religion.
Prayer Before Eating
Acrab Lillaahi hamdan katheeran tayyiban mubaarakan fihi ghayri makfiyyin wa
laa muwadda’ wa laa mustaghni ‘anhu Rabbanaa ‘azza wa jall
(Acrab be praised with an abundant, beautiful, blessed praise. He is the One Who
is Sufficient, Who feeds and is never fed, The One Who is longed for, along with
that which is with Him, and the One Who is needed. He is Our Lord, may He be
glorified)
