All praise belongs to Allah, al-Qawiyy al-Ghālib — Strong and Dominant
Allah is al-Waliyy, al-Ṭālib — the Protecting Friend, the One Sought
He is al-Bāʿith, al-Wārith, al-Māniḥ, al-Sālib — the Resurrector, the Inheritor, the Giver, the Remover of our grief.
Allah is the Knower of all beings: past, present, and future
All glorify Him — the stars that set, incline, rise, and disappear
And all declare His Oneness — the one who speaks and the silent, the solid and the liquid.
The stillness moves by His Justice, and motion comes to rest by His Grace. Lā ilaha illa’Llah!
Allah, Al-Hakim, the All-Wise, manifested the marvels of His Wisdom and its wonders,
Arranged the forms of existence in orderly proportion,
Created the brain, bones, nerves, flesh, skin, hair, and blood in a harmonious system,
From a gushing fluid between backbone and ribs;
La ilaha illa’Llah!
Allah, Al-Karim, the Generous, spreads a carpet of provision and grants favors over His creation,
Each night He descends to the lowest heaven, calling:
“Is there one who seeks forgiveness? Is there anyone seeking repentance?
Is anyone in need, so that I may fulfill (the need)?"
Ta-ibuna ila l-Lah!
So if only you had seen the servants before their Lord, pouring forth streaming tears,
Standing between the state of remorse and repentance,
The ones, fearful for their own souls, reproach themselves, and they run from their sins towards Allah.
They remain in this state of seeking forgiveness until daybreak chases away darkness,
And so they will return, having succeeded in their aims, attaining the pleasure of the Beloved,
Not one amongst them would be disappointed; Lā ilāha illa’Llāh!
Subhanallah! Allah created the Light of His Prophet ﷺ from His own Light, before He created Adam from clay.
Allah presented the Pride of His creation before all others, declaring:
“This is the leader of all prophets, the noblest of the Pure Ones, the most honored of the beloved.”
Allahuma salli wa sallim wa barik 'alayhi wa 'ala alih!
