The imam concludes with a prayer to God for mercy and general
wellbeing. He prays: "O God, support whoever supports religion, humble
whoever humbles Muslims, and give success and mercy to the nation of
Muhammad." He also prays: "O God, give victory to our brother mujahidin in
Palestine and everywhere. O God, make them steadfast and strengthen their
hearts." He goes on: "O God, deal with the Jews and their supporters and the
Christians and their supporters. Shake the land under their feet, instill
fear in their hearts, and freeze the blood in their veins. O God, deal with
them for they are within your power. Turn fate against them, lower their
flags, divide their ranks, and disperse their assemblies. O God, we ask you
to deal with them and spare us their evil. O God, make fate turn against
them."
