بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds,

وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَىٰ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ

and prayers and peace be upon our master Muhammad,

وَعَلَىٰ آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ

and upon his family and all his companions.

يَقُولُ الشَّيْخُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ سِرَاجُ الدِّينِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَىٰ

Shaykh Abdullah Siraj al-Din, may Allah the Exalted have mercy on him, says

فِي كِتَابِهِ سَيِّدُنَا مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

in his book, "Our Master Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah,

صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

may Allah bless him and grant him peace,"

وَمَا زَالَ يَتَكَلَّمُ عَنْ تَوَاضُعِ النَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ

—and he is still speaking about the humility of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him—

قَالَ وَمِنْ تَوَاضُعِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

he said: And among his humility, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,

وَتَكْرِيمِهِ لِعِبَادِ اللَّهِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

and his honoring of the Muslim servants of Allah,
