الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَلِمَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ قَبْلَ كَوْنِهِ

praise be to Allah who knew everything before its existence,

فَجَرَى عَلَى قَدَرِهِ

so it ran according to His decree.

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ

And I bear witness that there is no god except Allah,

وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ

alone without partner,

وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ

and that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger,

أَعْلَمُ الْخَلْقِ بِرَبِّهِ

the most knowledgeable of creation about his Lord.

كَانَ شَاكِرًا فِي سَرَّائِهِ

He was thankful in his times of ease,

صَابِرًا فِي ضَرَّائِهِ

patient in his times of hardship,

رَضِيَ عَنْ رَبِّهِ فِي كُلِّ أَحْوَالِهِ

pleased with his Lord in all his states.
