إن أردت السعادة فابدآ من هنا، وصية جامعة

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. It is said that what comes from the heart enters the heart, and I truly hope that this advice of mine will be from the heart to the heart. My dear brother and my dear sister, these are a collection of advice, like the essence of a lifetime, which I have summarized for you as much as possible to make it easy to hear, and perhaps Allah the Almighty will decree that it be beneficial to the speaker and the listener. The God of Truth, Amen. And may Allah have mercy on you, make you happy, and be pleased with you, as the last thing you hear from your loving one, so that it may find a good place in your kind heart and raise your degrees with Allah. To proceed, I advise my deficient self and I advise you to fear Allah the Almighty. After a long life, in which the journey has been long and the paths have been many, I have tried what tires and seen what tempts, and by Allah, I have found no more truthful salvation, nor a more upright path, nor a safer outcome than what I now present to your eyes, ears, and heart. So take these as truthful words and advice from a lover and calls from a compassionate one who hopes to have loved you good as he loved himself. Take them from me, not as a passing hearing or a fleeting thought, for such words are not needed when they are said, but when they are lost. My brother and my sister, may Allah protect you, preserve you, make you happy, and be pleased with you. The first thing I advise you, and the greatest thing upon which you build your life and with which you seal your life, is the oneness of Allah the Almighty. Let your heart be for Allah alone. Do not attach your hope to anyone other than Him, nor direct your fear except to Him, nor turn your heart to anyone else in times of hardship or ease. Do not make an intermediary between you and Him in supplication or hope, nor magnify anyone in your heart as you magnify Him, Glorified and Exalted is He. Search your heart well, for polytheism does not always come to you explicitly, denying it, but it seeps in subtly without you feeling it, with the love of worldly things, with the fear of people, and with magnification that is not fitting except for Allah the Great, Blessed and Exalted is He. If Allah rectifies your oneness, He will rectify everything in you and for you. And if it is corrupted, everything will be corrupted to the extent of its corruption. And adhere to the Sunnah, for the path has many speakers and few followers. Do not put an opinion before a firm guidance, nor a custom before a correct trace, nor assume for yourself what the Sharia has not assumed, for all good is in following and all evil is in innovation. And know that you will not be saved by the multiplicity of paths, but by the correctness of the path. And I advise you, my friend, to seek knowledge, for you will not worship Allah with insight without knowledge. And the first steps of the truthful are knowledge of Allah the Almighty, then His law. And the first path to salvation is a spark from the great divine revelation, by which you travel, intending your way through paths surrounded by darkness, desires, and doubts. So, adhere to knowledge and faith. If Allah gathers them in your heart, you will have succeeded and prospered. You will not know truth from falsehood except by knowledge. And purify your seeking of it. Do not seek it to be said, nor to argue, nor to debate, nor to be elevated in worldly possessions, but to be guided by it and to reform yourself with it before others. For how many worshippers have their deeds corrupted by their ignorance. And whenever Allah teaches you knowledge, spread it among people to the extent of your ability and effort. Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. Allah does not burden a soul except with what He has given it. And how many with little action has Allah the Almighty raised with knowledge that he was truthful to Allah the Almighty in it. Then know, may Allah have mercy on you, with certainty, without doubt, that this world is not a place of residence, but a place of passage. You are given in it to be tested, and you are taken from it to be reminded, not to be wronged. It approaches you proudly, and you think it has lasted, then it turns away from you suddenly as if it had never been. So do not stand too long at it, for whoever stands too long misses the journey, and whoever is occupied with it forgets what he was created for. And Jinn and humans were not created except to worship Me. My brother, may Allah protect you. People have sought wealth, comfort, enjoyment, and remembrance. But the wise among them have not truly found for their hearts a tranquility that resembles a sincere prostration, nor a comfort that equals a moment of truth between you and your Lord, nor a tear shed for Allah, nor a drop of sweat in the way of His pleasure, nor a moment of truth in which you said something that pleases Him, even if people hurt you and hurt you, and you did good deeds for His sake, even if the world's suspicions were bad towards you. If you are with Allah, then what you miss of anything else does not matter to you. And whoever is lost in Allah, Allah will replace him. So be with Allah, and to Allah, and for Allah. And whoever magnifies Allah, everything else in his eyes and heart becomes insignificant. And whoever knows the path and the goal, the journey becomes easy for him, and the way becomes accessible. And whoever trusts in Allah, He suffices him. And whoever seeks guidance from Him, He guides him. And whoever clings to Him and seeks refuge in Him, He protects him. And whoever unifies Him, He leads him to His mercy and His high status. The scholars, the worshippers, and the wise have not found a light like the light that comes to you when you turn to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, alone, like a spark from the great divine revelation, the Book and the Sunnah. So be upon the truth, even if you are alone. Indeed, Abraham was a nation, devoutly obedient to Allah, a monotheist, and he was not among the polytheists, grateful for His favors, He chose him and guided him to a straight path. So be upon the path of the two Khaleels and be happy. Be a monotheist, a devoted one, a penitent, submissive to Allah, righteous, a reformer, following your Prophet, peace be upon him, in your private and public affairs, in your beginnings and your decisions. Uphold what Allah has upheld and set aside what He has set aside. Turn to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, hoping in Allah and the Last Day, and believing in His promise, Glorified and Exalted is He. Cling to Allah alone, not to anything other than Him. For what is more burdensome to a servant on the day he meets his Lord than a heart filled with anything other than Him, Glorified and Exalted is He? Beware of the sins of the heart, for they are more hidden than the sins of the limbs and more impactful. Envy eats away at your good deeds without you realizing it. Arrogance prevents you from the truth, while you think you are doing good. Hypocrisy nullifies your reward and invalidates it, while you think you are working for Allah. Negligence kills your heart while you walk among people as if you are alive. For life is the life of hearts and souls, but the body is for annihilation. For life is the life of hearts and souls, but the body is for worms and annihilation. My friend, adhere to the hidden matters between you and your Lord, for they are the greatest treasures, the most beneficial provisions, and the greatest means of drawing near to Him, Glorified and Exalted is He. What you are truthful in, sincere in, and following the Sunnah of your Prophet, peace be upon him. Adhere to the hidden matters, for one of the greatest means of steadfastness on the religion of Allah the Almighty until death is righteous hidden deeds. A tear that only Allah saw, a prostration that no one else witnessed, a charity that you hid, and if you could have hidden it from the king, you would have done so, because it is for Allah alone, without partner. A supplication that you utter with your heart before your tongue. And beware, may Allah protect you and forbid your face from the Fire. Beware of the sins of seclusion, for they are among the most severe traps of relapse, seeking refuge in Allah, Lord of the creations. Do not delay repentance, nor procrastinate good deeds, for you own nothing of your life except this moment. Your life is once, and your life is once, and you have only one chance. So seize it and be happy. For the graves are filled with those who wish to return, and there is a barrier between them and what they desire of righteous deeds. So you are now in the abode of action, and the abode of planting, and the abode of acquiring good deeds, and the abode of building gardens. How many a hopeful one said "tomorrow" and was not given respite. And how many a procrastinator thought the path was long, and was cut off at its beginning. How many a righteous wish did a person intend in his life and procrastinate and postpone it, and death overtook him before it and prevented him from achieving it. So take your religion with strength, and take your Book with strength, and take the command of Allah with strength. "O John, take the Book with strength." "Take what We have given you with strength." Take your religion with strength. Be strong with Allah the Almighty in a time when the fallen and the weak are many. Whoever is strong is the strongest of people. Increase saying "There is no might nor power except with Allah," for it strengthens the heart and soul, and it is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise. Contemplate it, ponder it, and repeat it. Organize your life. Beware of scattering. Organize your priorities. Look at what benefits you in the Hereafter, and start with it now. Make your precious time and your valuable life in the harvest of the Hereafter, its planting, and its building. Your true future is the Day of Resurrection, not now. These are moments of passage, an abode of annihilation, disappearance, and a dream of sleep from which we will soon awaken. And the awakening of the sleeper is when he gets up from his sleep. So our awakening in reality from this world is when souls are taken. So we are in the abode of delusion, an abode too short to be built and too quick to be rushed. So hasten to the Hereafter, for it is the everlasting. "Rather, you prefer worldly life, while the Hereafter is better and more lasting." In this world, there are two flaws: its turbidity and its transience. And every pleasure in it is mixed with distress and turbidity, and all its time is for annihilation, disappearance, and loss. But Paradise has nothing of the turbidity of this world. It is an abode of eternal bliss and everlastingness forever and ever. They will not die in it, nor will they grow old. And in it is beauty in its entirety and perfection in its completeness. And in it is the company of our Prophet, peace be upon him, and in it is the vision of the Lord of the Worlds, Glorified and Exalted is He, and His speech when He, Glorified and Exalted is He, unveils His face to His servants in Paradise, and speaks to His beloved face to face, with no translator between them. And he sees with his sight the face of his Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He, with no veil between them, as a honor from Allah the Almighty to His beloved. So we ask Allah by His most noble face to make me, you, our parents, and our loved ones among them. The God of Truth, Amen. What greater pleasure for the soul than this? What pleasure for the sight? What pleasure for the hearing? What pleasure for the companionship when Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, speaks to you, and He is pleased with you, and informs you that He is pleased with you, and says to you: "My pleasure is incumbent upon you, and I will never be displeased with you thereafter." He speaks to you face to face and shows you His beautiful and majestic face, Blessed and Exalted is He. My brother and my sister, whoever contemplates this moment alone, all the world will evaporate from before his eyes and heart. So he has no desire for it, nor fear in his heart of it and its people. So he hopes in no one and fears no one except Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He. And he desires nothing but what is with Him in Paradise. And he asks his Lord, the Almighty, to keep him alive in this world with the life of the righteous, the foremost, the near ones, and to make it a help for his obedience and a ladder to His pleasure. For this world is the abode of building the Hereafter. So it is not blameworthy in every aspect, but the people of Paradise will not reach Paradise except after they pass through this world and build it with righteous deeds. Organize your life, may Allah have mercy on you, and organize your priorities, then start your great projects now. If you have fallen into a major sin, repent from it and abandon it. If you persist in a minor sin, repent from it and reform. If you have neglected a obligatory duty, then make up for what you have missed and mend what has weakened in your faith. Dedicate hours to Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, every day and night, fixed for Him, Glorified and Exalted is He: recitation of the Quran, a portion of remembrance of Him, Glorified and Exalted is He, and a session of knowledge, whose doors have been opened, praise be to Allah, and night prayer. So congratulations to the night worshippers, and kindness, and connection, and companionship with the righteous. Start now, do not delay, and do not procrastinate. For if you do not repent in your weakness, you will not repent in your strength. And if you do not act while you are busy, you will not act when you are free. I advise you, my brother, to be chaste, for it is the crown of believers, the fortress of the foremost, and the pleasure of the Lord of the Worlds. Be chaste in your eating, drinking, desires, hearing, sight, taking, and giving. Be pious, righteous, God-fearing. Chastity will protect you when trials intensify, and it will cover you when the nakedness of people is exposed. Guard your sight, for a glance is an arrow. And guard your hearing, for what you hear settles in your heart. And watch your private moments, for in them you know your true self. So do not deceive yourself, for Allah does not deceive. And no servant leaves anything for Allah except that Allah compensates him with something better than it, even if after a while. And I advise you to be patient, for the path is not a path of comfort. And when you contemplate the journey of the prophets and messengers, you will know its reality. For the path to Allah the Almighty is a path of steadfastness and struggle. Be patient in obedience, and patient from disobedience, and patient with the bitter decrees of fate, for the outcome is for the patient, even if the path is long. And Allah is with the patient. And Allah has commanded you to be patient more than 90 times in the Quran. So be with the patient, and rejoice in Allah's companionship with the patient, and rejoice in Allah's rewards for the patient. Only those who are patient will be given their reward without حساب (reckoning). For if people are given their deeds by measure and scales, then the patient will have their reward poured upon them, a bounty from Allah and generosity. My brother, may Allah make your heart happy. Be pleased with Allah's decree for you, for contentment is a comfort that cannot be bought and a richness that cannot be measured by money. And know that the believer has a sea in which all pains are submerged. It is the sea of contentment with Allah the Almighty. Whatever comes from Allah, may Allah give it life. And when a calamity strikes your religion, you are well. And when affliction descends, and with it patience, contentment, praise, and gratitude, then it is good. Beware of impatience, and adhere to patience, contentment, praise, and gratitude, for this is the path of the foremost, the near ones. And remember that every morning you say: "I am pleased with Allah as my Lord." So, O you who are pleased with Allah as your Lord, be pleased with His management, Glorified and Exalted is He. Your chest may tighten with what you have not been given, and if you saw Allah's wisdom in it, you would be pleased and thank Allah and be grateful for it. Richness is not in the abundance of what you possess, but in your heart being content with it. Richness is the richness of the heart. It is not richness from the abundance of worldly possessions, but richness of the heart. And when the heart is satisfied with Allah, it has reached the utmost of richness. Increase your praise and gratitude to Allah, for no one loves praise more than Allah, and no one is more deserving of thanks than Allah. And know that a blessing, if it is thanked for, remains, and if it is disbelieved, it disappears. And how many a blessing is before you that you do not see until it is taken away from you. And the greatest blessings are the blessings of religion, faith, and knowledge. So thank Allah for everything, and contemplate His blessings and thank Him for them. And thank Allah the Almighty in times of ease and hardship, and thank Him for what He has given and what He has withheld, for withholding is sometimes the very essence of giving, and only the truthful understand this. May Allah make me and you among them. Adhere to yourself with remembrance. Adhere to the mountain of remembrance, the fortress of remembrance, and the sea of remembrance, for remembrance is the life of the heart. And no heart dries up except after its tongue has dried up from the remembrance of Allah the Almighty. And no soul fades except after its share of the remembrance of Allah the Almighty has decreased. Remember Allah the Almighty in your private and public moments, in your secret and your public. Remember Him with your heart, your tongue, and your limbs. Remember your Lord when you sit and when you stand, in your weakness and in your strength, for by Him you live and by Him you are reassured, by Allah's permission. Implore Allah the Almighty with supplication and beseech Him constantly with trust, certainty, and unwavering persistence, regardless of circumstances, the passage of time, and the succession of days. For he has succeeded who supplicated, and he has not failed who asked. And your Lord said: "Supplicate to Me, and I will respond to you." So who is it that asked Allah and He disappointed him? And who is it that had good thoughts of Him and He turned him away? So the tongues of the supplicants have not failed, nor have the feet of the persistent stumbled, nor have the souls of the imploring regretted. My brother and my sister, rejoice with all joy in Allah. Rejoice in Allah, and while people rejoice in dirhams, dinars, and possessions, rejoice in Allah the Almighty. "O people, there has come to you an admonishment from your Lord and a healing for what is in the breasts and guidance and mercy for the believers." Say: "By the grace of Allah and by His mercy, let them rejoice in that. It is better than what they accumulate." Love Allah with all your heart. Love Allah with all your heart. Love Allah with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your existence. And how could you not love Him from whom no good has come to you except from Him, and who has not averted evil and harm from you except from Him alone, without partner? For all good is from Him alone. So to Him be praise in all circumstances, and to Him be thanks at all times. Rejoice in your closeness to Allah, in your knowledge of Allah. Rejoice in a prostration that Allah enabled you to perform, and in a tear that came from you for Him, and in a pulse of love and a sigh of longing for Him, and in an hour spent among the believers in Him. Rejoice in Allah, and in knowledge of Allah, and in your knowledge of Allah, for whoever knows Him becomes self-sufficient with Him and rejoices in Him, even if he loses everything. Rejoice in Allah's guidance to you to Islam, the Quran, the Sunnah, and steadfastness, and in making you among the followers of the best of messengers, Muhammad, peace be upon him. Rejoice in the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, and increase your prayers and salutations upon him, and follow his Sunnah, and follow his footsteps, and make his love in your heart greater than your love for yourself, your parents, your children, and all people. And combine in your heart love, fear, and hope. Fear Allah with a fear that prevents you from disobeying Him, and hope in Him with a hope that drives you to obey Him. And be ashamed of Him with true shame, and have good thoughts of Him, for He is as your servant thinks of Him, as He, Glorified and Exalted is He, said: "I am as My servant thinks of Me." So think of Allah all good, and by Allah, you will see nothing but good from Him if you obey Him. And if you come to Him walking, He will come to you running. If He accepts you, obey Him and love Him, for you will not taste the sweetness of obedience until you love the one who commands it. And when you reflect on His bounties, you will love Him with all your being. And when you know His beautiful and majestic attributes, you will know that true love is only for Him alone, as well as that hope, fear, life, and every good deed of the heart. My brother, may Allah look upon your face. I advise you to be dutiful to your parents, alive and deceased, for they are a door to Paradise that has been opened for you, so do not close it with your own hand. Do not raise your voice to them, nor look at them with a look of annoyance, for a word or an action from you that pleases them and makes them happy and brings them joy will raise you greatly with Allah. And another word or action may bring you down without you realizing it. Bring them joy to the extent of your ability, for kindness is doing good and bringing joy, not just obedience. If they hurt you with words or actions, drown it in the sea of their rights, for their rights over you are greater. How many have I seen who lost their parents or one of them, and wished they could return for a day, perhaps to be kind to them better than they were, and perhaps to mend what has weakened in their relationship with them. How many a regretful person wished he could go back to do good, but was prevented. And if you want to know the value of parents, ask those who have lost them, for when you bury them, you bury a part of your heart and a piece of your soul. Do not forget, but Allah's solace for every believer is to meet his loved ones who have passed away in gardens and rivers, in a seat of honor with a King, Almighty. For Paradise is the abode of believers, the lovers. And mistaken is he who thinks that death is separation. No, by Allah, but separation is tomorrow: a party in Paradise and a party in Hellfire. And on that Day, when the Hour comes, they will be separated. As for this world, it is a stage, and death is the means to the Hereafter. And death has merits, as the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "You will not see your Lord until you die." So the believer will not see his Lord except after death, and will not enter Paradise except after death, and will not meet his Prophet, peace be upon him, except after death, and will not meet his loved ones who preceded him except after death. So death is a comfort for the believers and a door to Paradise for the God-fearing. We ask Allah the Almighty to prolong all our lives in His obedience, and to seal us with goodness, and to make our last words from this world "There is no god but Allah," and to take us while He is pleased with us, and to gather us with all our loved ones in the highest of heavens without reckoning or torment. I advise you, my brother and my sister, to maintain ties of kinship. Do not cut them off even if they cut you off, and do not shun them even if they are harsh with you, for you do not sever ties for their sake, but for the sake of your Lord, Blessed and Exalted is He. And the one who maintains ties is not the one who reciprocates, but the one who, when his kinship is cut off, he maintains it. And a life extended with ties does not decrease, nor does sustenance become scarce with ties. Ties are a blessing in your life, an abundance in your sustenance, and closeness to your Lord. I advise you, my brother and my sister, to embrace the Quran. Make it in your chest and on your tongue, not on your shelf. Read it to reform your heart, not just to complete your portion. And perhaps a verse has revived a heart. Let the meanings of the Quran burn your heart. It is your Lord's message to you, and your God's advice to you, and the trust of the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, with you. Make the Quran your greatest life project. Make it one of your greatest goals in life to be among its people, to memorize it in your heart, and to be proficient in it, so that you may be among Allah's people and His chosen ones, Glorified and Exalted is He. For by Him in whose hand is my soul, it deserves that and more. It deserves your precious time, the clarity of your mind, the presence of your heart, the effort of your heart and tongue, and its precedence over all your worldly projects. So set for yourself a portion of it that you do not miss until you meet your Lord. And whoever walks diligently, truthfully, and steadfastly will reach it, by Allah's permission. And the path to completing the Quran begins with memorizing a verse. Focus on review, for it is what is memorized. Then take the new lesson little by little. The lesson is one verse, and review is a thousand. The new portion of what you memorize, and greatly increase what you repeat of what you have already memorized. And recite it in your prayers, for the Quran, when recited in prayer, settles in the heart, by Allah's permission, especially if you have a share of night prayer. And pray at night, even if it is with one rak'ah. Adhere to the Quran, for it is the companion that does not betray, and the light that does not extinguish, by Allah's permission. And adhere to inviting to Allah the Almighty as much as you can. For it is your Lord's advice and the duty of your Prophet, peace be upon him. So invite to the path of your Lord, the Almighty, to the extent of your capacity, ability, and knowledge, with sincerity, guidance, and instruction, spreading good and benefiting the worlds. Invite the disbelievers to Islam, and invite the Muslims to the Sunnah, and invite the followers of the Sunnah to steadfastness. And start with yourself, invite it, then invite those around you, then invite those you can reach from the worlds. And know that Allah is with you as long as you are with Him. O owner of the noble heart, if someone wrongs you, forgive, for this world is not worth it, and you are too weak to bear your disputes for long. If you are wronged, be patient, for you will carry nothing with you except the purity of your heart. And be reassured, reassured, reassured, for your right will not be lost with Him from whom rights are not lost. If you forgive and pardon, then Allah, Allah will give you more than what you forgave. And if you want your right, it is preserved. I advise you, my friend, to pray, pray, pray, for prayer is the door to salvation, the path to success, the pillar of light, and closeness to Allah. And in it, all acts of worship are gathered, and it is the rope connecting to Allah, and the measure of faith in the heart. And whenever you want to know the measure of your faith, look at prayer in your heart. Look at its purity, its obligation, its place, its time, its congregation, its regular prayers, its supplications within it, and what comes after it. In its glorification, in preparing for it, in removing the world from your heart before you say Allahu Akbar for it, in the presence of your heart in it, in your humility and tranquility in it, in applying the Sunnah of your Prophet, peace be upon him, in it, in purifying your face for Allah the Almighty in it. For prayer is the door that, if opened for you, all good will be opened for you. And if it is closed to you, then all else is closed to you. And the first thing you will be asked about on the Day of Resurrection, after your faith, is prayer. And among the gates of Paradise is prayer. And it is the advice of your Prophet, peace be upon him, before he departed to his Lord. And whoever preserves prayer, Allah will preserve him. And whoever neglects it, he is more neglectful of anything else. And it is among the tests of believers in this time, and it fills your heart with righteousness and provision, by Allah's permission. For faith in the heart, and prayer increases faith in it. And when the heart is filled with faith, all forbidden desires are repelled from it. So according to faith, forbidden desires are repelled, and according to knowledge, doubts are repelled. So adhere to knowledge and faith. Adhere to prayer, for whoever neglects it has neglected himself, and a day will come when he will wish for a prostration, and it will be prevented between him and it. So the wish of the dead is prayer. So you are now in the wish of the dead, so act, for you are acting and you do not know, and tomorrow you will know and not act. So a prostration to Allah is better than this world and what is in it. And know that the dead person now, if he were offered a single glorification in exchange for the whole world, he would choose the glorification. So strive for the abode of a single glorification, which is better than it and greater in stored reward, and greater in glorification and sanctification of Allah. So Glorified is Allah, it is glorification and sanctification of Allah. And there will remain good in the heart as long as it glorifies Allah and is ashamed of Him. And my friend, reduce your attachment to people as much as you can, for only your deeds will remain with you in the end. And take it, may Allah protect you, from your loving one, frankly. One of the greatest losses and regrets of all is to live long and then discover late that you have been far from Allah. So do not be rewarded, may Allah protect you, for this speech, for you do not know when you will need it, nor do you find it too long, for it has been said with the blood of the heart, the tears of the eye, the longings of the soul, and the sighs of the self. And how much good we have disdained, and when we desired it, the path between us and it was cut off. And in conclusion, the best advice is the advice to fear Allah the Almighty, for it is the advice of Allah the Almighty to the first and the last. May Allah make me and you among them. There is no god but Allah, the Great, the Forbearing. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Great Throne. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the heavens, the Lord of the earth, and the Lord of the Noble Throne. There is no god but You, Glory be to You, indeed, I have been among the wrongdoers. O Allah, I ask You, for to You belongs all praise, there is no god but You, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who was not begotten and was not begotten, and there is none comparable to Him. O Bestower, O Owner of Majesty and Generosity, O Living, O Everlasting, O Originator of the heavens and the earth, O Great, O Forbearing, O All-Knowing, I ask You by Your most beautiful names and Your highest attributes and Your greatest name and Your most noble face for the highest Paradise without reckoning or torment for me, my brother, my sister, those who hear and believe, for our parents, our families, our loved ones, and the Muslims. O Allah, bear from us the rights of Your creation. O Allah, forgive our rights. O Allah, we ask You for martyrdom in Your cause, advancing, not retreating. Indeed, You are the Bestower. O Allah, keep us alive upon faith, and cause us to die upon it, and make our last words from this world "There is no god but Allah," and take us while You are pleased with us, and make us among the people of the Quran, goodness, righteousness, and kindness. Amen, Amen, Amen. And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, and prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his companions. Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of might, from what they describe. And peace be upon the messengers. And praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. And may Allah reward you with good.
