In the name of Allah, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful.

A blessing and a command from Allah.

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, the All-Merciful, the Most Merciful, Master of the Day of Judgment.

And praise be to Allah Who created the heavens and the earth and made the darknesses and the light.

And praise be to Allah Who sent down upon His servant the Book, and did not make therein any crookedness.

And praise be to Allah to Whom belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth, and to Him belongs praise in the Hereafter, and He is the All-Wise, the All-Aware.

And praise be to Allah Who guided us to this, and we would not have been guided had Allah not guided us.

May Allah bless, grant peace, and bestow benedictions upon our master and patron Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah, the elite of His creation, the Seal of the Prophets, and the most noble of the messengers.

And upon his family, his Companions, and whoever follows them in excellence until the Day of Judgment.

"So may Allah send blessings upon our Prophet whenever he is remembered by those who remember, and whenever the heedless neglect his remembrance. And may Allah send blessings upon him among the earlier and later generations—the best, most abundant, and purest blessings He has ever bestowed upon any of His creation. And may He purify us and you through invoking blessings upon him, in the best way He has purified anyone of his nation through invoking blessings upon him; and peace be upon him, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings."
