بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم


In the name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful

 

اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لا اِلهَ اِلا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ


I bear witness that there is no God save Allah, the One; and there is no partner to share with Him.

 

وَاَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَاَنَّهُ سَيِّدُ الاَْوَّلينَ وَالاْ خِرينَ وَاَنَّهُ سَيِّدُ الاَْنْبِيآءِ وَالْمُرْسَلينَ


I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger, verily, he is the lord of the ancients and the moderns, verily, he is the head of the Prophets and the Messengers.

 

اَللّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ وَنَبِيِّكَ وَسَيِّدِ خَلْقِكَ اَجْمَعينَ صَلوةً لا يَقْوى عَلى اِحْصآئِها غَيْرُكَ


O Allah send blessing on Muhammad, Thy servant, Thy Messenger and Thy Prophet, the chief of all that has been created by Thee, blessings which no one is able to measure other than Thee.
