O friend with an alert mind and an attentive heart. If you have understood
this Word, take these 12 gleams in your hand so that you might obtain a lamp of
truth as light‑giving as thousands of electric lights. Hold fast to the Qur’anic
verses descending from God’s Supreme Throne. Climbing on the “mount” of Divine
assistance, ascend to the heavens of truth. Rise to the “throne of Divine
knowledge” and declare: “I bear witness that there is no god but You. You are
One, without partner.”
Also declare:
There is no god but God, One, having no partner; His is the dominion
of all existence, and to Him belongs all praise; He alone gives life and
causes to die; He is living and dies not; in His hand is all good; and He is
powerful over everything. Glory be to You. We have no knowledge save what
You have taught us. Truly, you are the All‑Knowing, the All‑Wise.
Our Lord, do not call us to account if we forget or fall into error. Our
Lord, do not lay on us a burden like that which You laid on those before us. Our
Lord, do not impose on us that which we cannot bear. Pardon us, forgive us, and
have mercy on us. You are our Protector. Give us victory over the people of
disbelief. Our Lord, do not cause our hearts to swerve after You have guided us.
Bestow upon us mercy from Your Presence, for You are the Bestower. Our Lord, You
are He who will gather humanity together on a Day of which there is no doubt.
God never fails in His promise.
O God, bestow blessings and peace on the one whom You sent as a mercy
for all the worlds, and on his Family and Companions. Have mercy on us and
his community, for the sake of Your Mercy, O most Merciful of the Merciful.
Amin.
The conclusion of their call will be: “All praise be to God, the Lord of the
Worlds."
