    Salam,

    I created this topic so we can compile all verses which we can use during our prayers. Dr Rashad Khalifa did compile a few, however, I'm sure there are many more than the two dozen verses taken form the Book.

    Dr Rashad's selection;
    http//www.quran-islam.org/main_topics/islam/pillars/salat_words_(P1199).html

    Feel free to add verses we can utter in our prayers.

    Salam

      Here, www.islamawakened.com/quran . You can recite whatever you want, in my opinion anyway, and say whatever it is you feel is best while expressing to yourself and meditating upon the surrender and asking for whatever you may want to ask for. I find the standard version of prayer sufficiently covers things well enough that it might be easy for people to learn and repeat, but anyone can add or change what they say if they are so inclined and their intentions are good I think.

      You can happily do ten prostrations rather than 2, but if your happiness is in doing less than more, then I wonder!

        salam,
        Thank you, but I do have a Quran. What I asked for is verses that we can use to worship God alone, check Dr Rashad's selection for examples.

          The reason I posted that, was a bit of humor really, to show that the whole Qur'an can be used or any part of it.

          Feel free to post Dr. Rashad Khalifa's selections here if you would like! I'd like to see them too!

            Misunderstanding on my part. However, we are told in Quran all our practices are for God. Does God authorize we recite chapters in our prayers? This would contradict when God also says we should only worship God alone...reciting chapters during prayers will add other names, such as prophets Moses or Muhammed, or even shaytan.

            Here are some of his selection
            God; there is no god but He, the Living, the Eternal. Never does a moment of unawareness or slumber overtake Him. To Him belongs what is in the heavens and what is in the earth. Who is he who could intercede with Him, except with His permission? He knows their present and their future, and they do not attain any of His knowledge except as He wills. His Seat encompasses the heavens and the earth, and preserving them never burdens Him. He is the High, the Great.

            Our Lord, do not place on us a heavy burden as that which You placed on those before us. Our Lord do not place on us what we cannot bear and pardon us, forgive us and have mercy on us. You are our Master so support us against the disbelieving people.

            Say, "Our god possessor of all sovereignty. You grant sovereignty to whomever You please, and You snatch sovereignty from whomever You please; and You grant dignity to whomever You please, and You commit to humiliation whomever You please. In Your hand are all good things. You are capable of all things.

            You merge the night into the day and merge the day into the night. You extract the living from the dead and extract the dead from the living and You provide for whom You please without count."

            Say, "The enjoyments of this world mean little, while the Hereafter is far better for those who revere God and you will not incur the least injustice."

            Say, "Shall I take other than God as an ally, the Initiator of the heavens and the earth and He feeds but is not fed?"

            Say, "Shall I seek other than God as a lord, when He is the Lord of all things?

            Say, "My Salat, my worship practices, my life and my death, are all devoted to God, the Lord of the worlds. He has no partner. This is what I was commanded with, and I am the first to submit.

            Say, "Nothing will befall us, except what God has decreed for us. He is our Master. In God the believers shall trust."

            Say, "He is my Lord. There is no god but He. In Him I put my trust and it is Him whom I turn to."

            Say, "My Lord, forgive and have mercy. Of all the merciful ones, You are the Most Merciful."

            Say, "My Lord expands the provision to whomever He wills, or restricts it, but most people do not know."

            Say, "If I go astray, I go astray because of my own shortcomings. And if I am guided, it is because of my Lord's inspiration. He is Hearer, Near."

            Say, "I have been commanded to worship God, devoting the religion purely to Him alone.?

            Say, "God is the One I worship, devoting my religion purely to Him alone.?

            Say, "Our god, Initiator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, You judge between Your servants regarding what they disputed in."

            Say, "He is God, He is One.
            God, the Absolute.
            He begets not, nor was He begotten.
            And none is akin to Him."

            Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of the daybreak
            from the evil of what He has created.
            and from the evil of darkness as it falls
            and from the evil of the women blowing in knots
            and from the evil of the envious one when he envies."

            Say, "I seek refuge in the Lord of the people.
            The King of the people.
            The god of the people
            from the evil of the sneaky whisperer
            who whispers into the chests of the people,
            be they of the jinn, or the people."

              be they of the jinn, or the people."

              We mention Shaitan in our prayers, we ask for protection from Shaitan (and Shaitan's plots).

              If someone says "bless me like you have blessed Abraham" or something, that is mentioning another name, and I think that is fine too.

              You mentioned there the "evil" of the "sneaky whisperer" and the "jinn" for example as part of Dr. Rashad Khalifa's selections.

              A good thing to check online though are a collection of dua's from the Qur'an. There are many and they are all great.

              Though I think people can make up their own too.

              Whenever you are praying, and whatever you are saying, it really is from God, good or bad (in my view, that doesn't mean it is necessarily good for you, but that if a person thinks of a certain prayer it is from God, just like it was for the good people in the past, but if they think and do evil that too is God who wishes for them trouble perhaps or that they go astray).

              The Qur'an is full of great prayers though that are a "safer" seeming bet based on what they say.

              I think that any dua's can be exchanged for others, but one might want to retain the common prayer and only go beyond it in certain ways so as not to fall short of anyone but to exceed everyone.

              https//usfilm.pbworks.com/f/Duas+from+quran+and+hadith.pdf

              Even if a thing is from something other than the Qur'an, if it says nothing wrong then it isn't a problem I think.

              1779
              And from the night arise from sleep for prayer with it (as) additional for you; it may be that will raise you your Lord (to) a station praiseworthy.
