As-salaamu alaykum

Praise be to Allah who, through His Eternal Word, does not cease to be praised:

The Universally Merciful, the Singularly Compassionate, Who by His Mercy has stirred up in us gratitude for His goodness wherewith He has enriched us and inspired us to praise and glorify Him.

The limits of favour and the bounds of praise were extended when He promised to those grateful for His bounty still more blessings; and He spread wide the carpet of His Assembly to those who remember Him. He has brought into subjection all things according to His Wisdom and Equity, as He has willed, by His Power, so that by His Authority the mover remains still and the still moves. ‘He is the First and the Last, The Outer and the Inner,’ (57:3) the Controller of expansion [bast] and contraction [qabd],’the Knower of the Unseen [al-ghayb]; not even the weight of an atom, or less than that or greater than that, either in the heavens or on the earth escapes Him. ‘ (34:3)

We praise Him with the praise of those who know Him with true knowledge of Him. We give thanks to Him with the expressions of gratitude of those who acknowledge the perfection of His goodness and favour. We bear witness that there is no deity other than Allah alone, having no companion, with an affirmation to which no doubt is attached and before which no door closes from accepting. We testify that our liege-lord Muhammad is His Slave and Worshipper and Prophet and Messenger. May Allah bless him with a blessing that will bring us to him and gather us around him on the Day of Assembly and Reckoning. May Allah be pleased and grant peace to his family, his helpers, his descendants, the people of his household, his illustrious companions, the best of friends, as long as a star will shine, a new moon shall rise and a cloud shall float above the face of the earth.
