Your Prophets, Your Messenger, Paradise, Hell, in Your raising the
people from graves and Your collecting them together on the day of
reckoning, Your promise, Your chastisement, Your Books. And I confirm
what came from You and I am pleased with Your decree. I bear witness
that There is no god save You. There is no associate with You
Peerless. You are without an equal, a rival, an adviser, a spouse, a son,
a like or a similitude unto You and there is none to have the namesake
as eyes cannot perceive You and You are Subtle and All-aware. And I
bear witness that Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) is Your Bondsman and
Messenger. May Allah bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his pure and
purified Progeny, Peace and Mercy from Him be on them. There is no
