As part of a multi-faith Thankgiving celebration, Ilhan Omar tweeted a video of herself reading an Islamic prayer to Allah inside a Catholic church in front of a Christmas tree.
Ilhan Omar:
There is a prayer in Islam that says, ‘Allah, put courage into my heart, and take away all that might hinder serving you,. Free my tongue to proclaim your goodness, that all may understand me.
Give me friends to advise and help me, that by working together our efforts may bear abundant fruit and, above all, let me constantly remember that my actions are worthless, unless they are guided by your hand.
Allah, may everything that I do start well and finish well.
Sustain me with your power.
And in your power, let me drive away
Alhamdullilah for the opportunity to serve my constituents, to care for my children and have a wonderful love in my life.
This is a prayer a read on the start of Congress and feel grounded in its blessings.
Thank you all for standing with me and for our progressive movement! pic.twitter.com/Npzemjz00Q
