5. I beg forgiveness of God

6. O God, bless our master Muhammad, who opened what had been closed, and who is the seal of what had gone before; he who makes the Truth victorious by the Truth, the guide to Thy straight path, and bless his household as is the due of his immense position and grandeur.

7. There is no God but Allah

8. HINDS, Jeremy 1974 Al-Basheer 3:3-9

9. I ask forgiveness of Allah, the Great, than whom there is no other God, the living and self-subsisting.

10. O God, send benediction upon and salute the source of divine mercy, a true ruby which encompasses the centre of comprehension and meanings, the son of Adam, the possessor of divine Truth; the most luminous lightning in the profitable rain-clouds which fill all the intervening seas as receptacles; Thy bright light with which Thou has filled Thy universe and which surrounds the places of existence.
O God, bless and salute the source of Truth from which are manifested the tabernacles of realities; the source of knowledge, the most upright; Thy complete and most straight path.
O God, bless and salute the advent of the Truth of the Truth; the greatest treasure, Thy mysterious Light. May God bless the Prophet and his household, a prayer which brings us to knowledge of him.
