In the Name of God, the Most Exalted, the Most High

O God! Praise be to Thee, there is no God but He, the Hearer of prayers, the Ever-Giving, the All-Bountiful, the Lord of all names. O God! Praise be to Thee, there is no God but He, the Sender of tablets, the Mover of spirits, the Effacer of shadows before the radiant Dawn. The First Name of God is the source of all radiance. O God! Praise be to Thee, there is no God but He, the Ordainer of numbers, the Extender of assistance, the Inspirer of righteousness, and the Judge of the Day of Resurrection. O God! Praise be to Thee, there is no God but He, the King of kings and the Merciful to the servants. O God! Praise be to Thee, there is no God but He, the Sustainer of all, the Knower of the non-existent, the Destroyer of the known, the Hearer of the speech of the sorrowful, and the Pure in Action. O God! Praise be to Thee, there is no God but He, the Number of all numbers, the Source and the Sustenance.

O God! Praise be to Thee, there is no God but He, bestow Thy blessings and peace upon Muhammad, Thy Just Name, the Ruler, the Lord of the cloud, the Holder of heaven, the Hearer of peace, the Subduer of enemies, and the Mover of ink for assistance, as befitteth Him, the First Eternal Cause, and the Remover of the darkness of care and weariness through the ink of the tablets of generosity.

I beseech Thee, O God, to bestow all Thy peace upon the family of Muhammad, Thy most noble Messenger, and Thy Most Enduring Name, the Teacher of all the worlds, Thy Covenant and Cause, and the Just Ruler who beareth Thy grace, the Pearl of the promised ocean, and the honored and praiseworthy Symbol, the Praised One, the Guided One, and the first to shine forth from the tablets of His eternal mystery, the Pure, the Holy, the Loving.

And I beseech Thee, O God, to bestow all Thy bounties upon the family of Thy Messenger as befitteth them and as befitteth Thee, and all Thy knowledge and assistance to the standards of wisdom and the places of command for them as befitteth them. And praise be to Thee, there is no God but He, as befitteth Him. And I know no wisdom except Thine, no grace except Thine, no justice except Thine, and I see no kingdom except that which moveth for the family of Muhammad (peace be upon them). O God! Grant them the path of Thy justice, the bounties of Thy grace, the names of Thy justice, and the number of what Thy knowledge encompasseth and what hath no number.

And I beseech Thee, O God, for all Thy justice against the enemies of Muhammad and his family. And I see no extended surface, no sealed command, and no praised name except for them. And I know their wisdom is Thine, and it is Thy justice and all Thy grace. And I know none except them and Thee alone, there is no God but He, the Just, the Ruler, the All-Knowing. Glory be to Thee above what they describe. Praise be to God, the Lord of the worlds.
