and all that they said was this: " O our Sustainer! Forgive us our sins and the lack of moderation in our doings! And make firm our steps, and succor us against people who deny the truth!" Asad
Their cry was only that they said: Our Lord! Forgive is for our sins and wasted efforts, make our foothold sure, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk. Pickthall
All that they said was: " Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and anything we may have done
That transgressed our duty: establish our feet firmly, and help us against those that resist Faith." Ali
3: 148 And God gave them a reward in this world and an excellent reward of the Hereafter. For God loves those who do good.
3: 190, 191 Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the succession of night and day, there are indeed messages for all who are endowed with insight, who remember God when they stand, and when they sit, and when they lie down to sleep, and reflect on the creation of the heavens and the earth: "O our Sustainer!

4: 43 O you have attained to faith! Do not attempt to pray while you are in a state of drunkenness, [but wait] until you know what you are saying; nor yet [while you are]
in a state requiring total ablution, until you have bathed - except if you are traveling [and are unable to do so] or have just satisfied a want of nature, or have cohabited with a woman, and can find no water - then take resort to pure dust, passing [therewith] lightly over your face and your hands. Behold, God is indeed an absolver of sins, much-forgiving. Asad, see note
4: 77 Are you not aware of those who have been told, " Curb your hands, and be constant in prayer, and render the purifying dues? But as soon as fighting is ordained for them, lo, some of them stand in awe of men as one should stand in awe of God - or in ever greater awe - and say……………."
Prayers in time of danger and travel. (see also Ali, Pickthall, etc.)
4: 101 And when you go forth on earth, you will incur no sin by shortening your prayers if you have reason to fear that those who are bent on denying the truth might suddenly fall upon you: for , verily, those who deny the truth are your open foes.
4: 102 Thus, when you are among the believers and about to lead them in prayer, let them stand up with you, retaining their arms. Then, after they have finished their prayer, let them provide you cover while another group who have not yet prayed, shall come forward and pray with you, being fully prepared against danger and retaining their arms:
those who are bent on denying the truth would love to see you oblivious of your arms and your equipment, so that they might fall upon you in a surprise attack. But it shall not be wrong for you to lay down your arms [while you pray] if you are troubled by rain or if you are ill; but [always] be fully prepared against danger.
4: 102…….Verily, God has readied shameful suffering for all who deny the truth!
Prayer at Stated Times a Duty
4: 103 And when you have finished your prayer, remember God - standing and sitting and lying down; and when you are once again secure, observe your prayers [fully]. Verily, for all believers prayer is indeed a sacred duty linked to particular times [of day]. Asad
4:103 When you pass [congregational] prayers, celebrate Allah's praises, standing, sitting down, or lying down on your sides; But when you are free from danger, set up regular Prayers: for such prayers are enjoined on Believers at stated times. Ali
5:5 Asad Note 16: ........It is immediately followed by a reference to prayer: for it is in prayer that man’s dependence on God finds most conscious and deliberate expression.
5: 25 Prayed [Moses] : “ O my Sustainer! Of none am I master but of myself and my brother [Aaron] : draw thou, then a dividing-line between us and these iniquitous folk!”
5: 26 Answered He: “Then, verily, this [land] shall be forbidden to them for forty years, while they wander on earth, bewildered, to and fro; and sorrow you not over these iniquitous folk.”
7:125 O our Sustainer! Shower us with patience in adversity, and make us die as men who have surrendered themselves unto Thee!” (the sorcerers praying after conversion by Moses).

Ayah 124 Yusuf Ali And remember that Abraham was tried by his Lord with certain commands which he fulfilled; He said: "I will make thee an Imam to the nations." He pleaded: "And also (Imams) from my offspring!" He answered: "But my promise is not within the reach of evil-doers."
Pickthall And (remember) when his Lord tried Abraham with (His) commands, and he fulfilled them, He said: Lo! I have appointed thee a leader for mankind. (Abraham) said: And of my offspring (will there be leaders)? He said: My covenant includeth not wrongdoers.

Ayah 125 Yusuf Ali Remember We made the house a place of assembly for men and a place of safety; and take ye the station of Abraham as a place of prayer; and We covenanted with Abraham and Isma`il that they should sanctify My House for those who compass it round or use it as a retreat or bow or prostrate themselves (therein in prayer).
Pickthall And when We made the House (at Mecca) a resort for mankind and a sanctuary, (saying): Take as your place of worship the place where Abraham stood (to pray). And We imposed a duty upon Abraham and Ishmael, (saying): Purify My house for those who go around and those who meditate therein and those who bow down and prostrate themselves (in worship).

Pickthall And when Abraham prayed: My Lord! Make this a region of security and bestow upon its people fruits, such of them as believe in Allah and the Last Day, He answered: As for him who disbelieveth, I shall leave him in contentment for a while, then I shall compel him to the doom of fire--a hapless journey's end!
