INTERFAITH WISDOM

Lila Fahlman was an esteemed educator and founder of the Canadian Counsel of Muslim Women. There is a school named after her in her honor in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.  She was the first Canadian woman to earn a PhD in educational psychology.  She also founded the World Council of Muslim Women Foundation.   Ms Fahlman was a passionate advocate of interfaith dialogue - she was head of the World Interfaith Education Association and co-founder of the Edmonton Interfaith Centre.

Here is her prayer requesting forgiveness of her sins.  We all sin - she calls her God "Allah".

I beg forgiveness of Allah, my Lord
From all the sins which I have committed, 
consciously and unconsciously,
hidden and evident.

I repent and ask forgiveness for all my sins
of which I am aware or not aware.

O Allah!
You are the knower of all things unknown
and the veiler of disgrace,
The forgiver of sins.

There is no power or strength besides
Allah, the Exalted, the Supreme.
