I have watched Arrow on the CW since the beginning and have enjoyed almost every episode. The mid-season finale “The Climb”, at the end had a prayer that was said. This prayer sounded like Arabic, and the words stuck in my brain (the English subtitles). I looked it up to keep in my Evernote account (love me some Evernote); I thought I would share it with others.
The version used in the show was as follows:
Forgive and have mercy upon him…
Excuse him and pardon him…
Make honorable his reception…
Protect him from the punishment of the grave…
And the torment of the fire.
It appears to be based on or off of:
Funeral Prayer
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
O Allah, forgive and have mercy on him (or her). Grant him ease and respite. Make his resting place a noble one, and facilitate his entry. Cleanse him with water, snow and coolness, and purify him of wrongdoings as a white cloth is purified of grime. Grant him an abode finer than his worldly one, and grant him entrance to Paradise and protect him from the chastisement of the grave, and protect him from the chastisement of the Fire.
