Is it permissible to alter some verses of the Holy Quran and use them as supplications for others, such as His saying, "My Lord, leave me not solitary, and You are the best of inheritors," and "My Lord, grant me [a child] from the righteous"? And are there any manners or recommended supplications for a Muslim doctor when performing an IVF procedure in the laboratory, and what is the ruling on that if the owners of the sample are non-Muslims?
