   *waj-a'l-naa min i'baadikas'-s'aalih'een*\
   and place us among Your righteous servants,

99. الَّذِينَ يَرِثُونَ الْفِرْدَوْسَ، هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ،\
   *(al-lad'eena yarithoonal-fir-daw-sa hum feehaa khaalidoon)*\
   "those who shall inherit Paradise, therein dwelling forever" (23:11),

100. وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ مَا آتَوْا وَقُلُوبُهُمْ\
