«إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ غَفُورٌ».

"Indeed, Allah is Mighty, Forgiving."

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ.

Peace be upon you, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.

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 the worlds,

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ

and I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone without partner,

وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ.

and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His messenger.

حَيَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ إِخْوَانِي وَأَخَوَاتِي

May Allah greet you, my brothers and sisters,

إِلَى لِقَاءٍ جَدِيدٍ ضِمْنَ هٰذِهِ السِّلْسِلَةِ.
