Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan
The Universal Prayers are presented here in the Original language and wording of 1921 as descended in divine inspiration to Hazrat Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan.
We are grateful to Murshid Sharif Munawwir for his blessing and endorsement in the recitation of the Prayers in their original and inspired form.
Learn what Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan clearly said:
"If you will preserve my words as I have spoken, it will be as saving my life."
"Do not change my word, form or phrase unless it is most necessary. Even so, carefully avoid all changes which can be avoided; otherwise you might lose the sense of my teaching, which is as essential to the Message as the perfume in the rose. If the form in which I give my teaching seems to you not as correct as it ought to be from a literary point of view, do not mind; let it be my own language. There will come a time when there will be a search for my own words. Just now if my words are not accepted as the current coin, they will always be valued as the antique."
