إِنَّمَا يَخْشَى اللَّهَ

Only those fear Allah

مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْعُلَمَاءُ

from among His servants who have knowledge.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ

Indeed, Allah is All-Mighty,

غَفُورٌ، السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

All-Forgiving. Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings. In the name of Allah,

with the first figure in this program and in these gatherings, and he is Abu Hanifah al-Nu'man ibn

ثَابِتٍ، وَقَدْ وَعَدْتُكُمْ بِأَنَّنِي سَأُكْمِلُ شَيْئًا مِنْ سِيرَتِهِ، وَلَا يُمْكِنُ أَبَدًا أَنْ أَسْتَوْفِيَ حَقَّ هَذَا
