Sira talladhina anamta alayhim, ghayril maghdubi alayhim, wa ladhdhaal leen. (Aameen)” (“In the name of God, the most Gracious, most Merciful.  All praise is due to God, Lord of the Worlds, The most Gracious, the most Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment, You alone we worship and You alone we ask for assistance.  Guide us along the straight path.  The path of those upon whom You have bestowed Your blessings, not the path of those with whom You are angry nor the path of those who have gone astray.”)

3.     Selection of verses from the Holy Qur’an: The Chapter Of Sincerity (Chapter 112) Bis milla hirrahma nirraheem. Qul Huwallahu Ahad  Allahus-Samad Lam yalid wa lam yulad  Wa lam yakullahu kufuwan Ahad. (In the name of God, the most Kind, most Merciful SAY: “He is God, the One, God the Eternal, dependent upon nothing, yet everything is dependent upon Him, He does not give birth, nor was He born, and there is nothing like unto Him.” )

(“Salutations, all good things, and all prayers are for God.  The peace and mercy of God be upon you, O Muhammad. Peace be upon all of us, and upon His righteous servants.  I bear witness that there is no God except God and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of God.” )

Allaa humma salli a’laa Muhammadin wa alaa  ali Muhummadin, kama sallayta alaa Ibraheema, wa alaa aali Ibraheem. Wa  baarik alaa Muhammadin wa alaa ali Muhummadin, kama baarakta alaa Ibraheema, wa alaa aali Ibraheem, innaka hamee dummajeed. (“O God bestow honor upon Muhammad and upon his family just as You have bestowed honor upon Abraham and his family.  And O God, bestow Your blessings upon Muhammad and his family just as You have bestowed Your blessings upon Abraham and his family.  In all of the worlds, You are the most praised and the most glorious.” )
