PREAMBLE
Praise be to Allah (i.e. the God).
Praise be to the One (i.e. Allah), Who revealed the Book (i.e. al-Qur’an) to His servant (i.e. Muhammad salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam), and did not make any distortion to it.
We praise Him (i.e. Allah), the Exalted One and the High, and we thank Him and seek help from Him; we ask forgiveness from Him; we repent to Him; and we seek refuge in Him from our own evils and from our bad deeds.
Anyone who is guided by Allah, (s)he is indeed guided; and anyone who has been misguided, you will never find a guardian to guide him.
We bear witness that there are no god or gods except Allah; the One Who has no partner. He has the Kingdom, and to Him is all praise. And He has power over all things.
And we bear witness that Muhammad salla Allahu ‘alaihi wa sallam is His servant and His messenger.
