"Audhu billahi minash shaytanirrajeem"

Bismi Llaahi l-raḥmaani l-raḥeem

1. Yusabbihu lillahi ma fee alssamawati wama fee alardi lahu almulku walahu alhamdu wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeerun;

   Everything in the heavens and the earth (all manifestation of the Names of Allah) glorifies Allah (fulfill their servitude by carrying out their specific functions). To Him belongs the Sovereignty, to Him belongs Hamd. He is Qadir over all things.

2. Huwa allathee khalaqakum faminkum kafirun waminkum muminun waAllahu bima taAAmaloona baseerun;

   It is HU who has created you. Some of you are deniers of the knowledge of the reality, and some of you are believers. Allah is Basir over what you do.

3. Khalaqa alssamawati waalarda bialhaqqi wasawwarakum faahsana suwarakum wailayhi almaseeru;

   He created the heavens and the sky in Truth (as manifestations of the Truth, His Names) and gave them forms (different compositions of the Names), and gave you the best of forms. To Him is the return!

4. YaAAlamu ma fee alssamawati waalardi wayaAAlamu ma tusirroona wama tuAAlinoona waAllahu AAaleemun bithati alssudoori;

   He knows whatever is in the heavens and the earth. He knows what you conceal and what you reveal. Allah, as the absolute essence of your being, is the Aleem.

5. Alam yatikum nabao allatheena kafaroo min qablu fathaqoo wabala amrihim walahum AAathabun aleemun;

   Did you not receive the news of those (the people who came) before you who denied the knowledge of the reality and tasted its consequence? There is severe suffering for them.

6. Thalika biannahu kanat tateehim rusuluhum bialbayyinati faqaloo abasharun yahdoonana fakafaroo watawallaw waistaghna Allahu waAllahu ghaniyyun hameedun;

   That was because their Rasuls came to them as clear proofs, but they said, “Is a mortal going to guide us to the reality?” And so they denied the knowledge of the reality and turned away. Allah has no need for such people (or their faith)! Allah is the Ghani, the Hamid .

7. ZaAAama allatheena kafaroo an lan yubAAathoo qul bala warabbee latubAAathunna thumma latunabbaonna bima AAamiltum wathalika AAala Allahi yaseerun;

   Those who deny the knowledge of the reality think they will never be resurrected! Say, “No (you are mistaken), by my Rabb, you will most definitely be resurrected, and then all the meanings of your actions will be disclosed through you! This is easy for Allah!”

8. Faaminoo biAllahi warasoolihi waalnnoori allathee anzalna waAllahu bima taAAmaloona khabeerun;

   Believe in Allah, your essential reality with His Names, his Rasul, and the Nur (light of knowledge) that We disclosed! Allah (by the mystery of the letter B) is Habir of what you do.

9. Yawma yajmaAAukum liyawmi aljamAAi thalika yawmu alttaghabuni waman yumin biAllahi wayaAAmal salihan yukaffir AAanhu sayyiatihi wayudkhilhu jannatin tajree min tahtiha alanharu khalideena feeha abadan thalika alfawzu alAAatheemu;

   When He gathers you for the Time of Gathering. The time when deception is clearly realized and its consequences lived! Whoever believes in Allah as their essential reality with His Names and fulfills the requisites of their faith, He will erase their bad deeds and admit them to Paradises underneath which rivers flow to abide therein eternally... This is the great attainment!

10. Waallatheena kafaroo wakaththaboo biayatina olaika ashabu alnnari khalideena feeha wabisa almaseeru;

    As for those who deny Our signs inherent within their beings, they are the people of Hell, and they will abide therein eternally! A wretched place of return it is!

11. Ma asaba min museebatin illa biithni Allahi waman yumin biAllahi yahdi qalbahu waAllahu bikulli shayin AAaleemun;

    No harm can afflict you other than by the permission of Allah (the suitability of the Names comprising your essence)! Whoever believes that the Names of Allah comprises his essence, He will enable their consciousness to experience the reality! Allah, with His very presence within all things, is the Aleem.

12. WaateeAAoo Allaha waateeAAoo alrrasoola fain tawallaytum fainnama AAala rasoolina albalaghu almubeenu;

    Obey Allah and obey the Rasul! If you turn away, then upon Our Rasul is only the responsibility to convey.

13. Allahu la ilaha illa huwa waAAala Allahi falyatawakkali almuminoona;

    Allah. There is no god. Only HU! Let the believers place their trust in Allah!

14. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo inna min azwajikum waawladikum AAaduwwan lakum faihtharoohum wain taAAfoo watasfahoo wataghfiroo fainna Allaha ghafoorun raheemun;

    O believers! Indeed, you have enemies among (within) your wives and children, so beware of them! If you forgive, forego and pardon, indeed Allah is the Ghafur, the Rahim.

15. Innama amwalukum waawladukum fitnatun waAllahu AAindahu ajrun AAatheemun;

    Your wealth and children are only objects of trial to you! And with Allah is the great reward.

16. Faittaqoo Allaha ma istataAAtum waismaAAoo waateeAAoo waanfiqoo khayran lianfusikum waman yooqa shuhha nafsihi faolaika humu almuflihoona;

    So, protect yourselves from Allah as much as you can (for He will most definitely subject you to the consequences of your deeds); perceive and obey, and give unrequitedly for your own sake! Whoever protects himself against his own stinginess and ambitions, they are the ones who attain true success!

17. In tuqridoo Allaha qardan hasanan yudaAAifhu lakum wayaghfir lakum waAllahu shakoorun haleemun;

    If you give a good loan to Allah (to the needy who are also manifestations of the Names of Allah), He will multiply it for you and forgive you... Allah is the Shakur, the Halim.

18. AAalimu alghaybi waalshshahadati alAAazeezu alhakeemu;

    He is the Knower of the unknown and the manifest realms. He is the Aziz, the Hakim.
