    What is the meaning of the phrase? Is there a transliteration of the phrase?

  • livinghalal (author) said:

    No transliteration. It’s not a supplication that one needs to memorize, so we didn’t transliterate it.

    As for meaning, it’s posted now. It was basically explained in the usage.

  • Wendy said:

    The “hidden disease inside the heart” is, indeed, the “pride”.

    How can we not be reminded from time to time to take away the evil thoughts, including pride, jealousy, selfishness, hatred, suspicion, anger and the like, from our hearts and pray to Allah for forgiveness.

    Thank you for the reminder!
