<<< Previous chapter Next chapter >>>


22 - "[One repeats just as the mu-athin (one who calls to prayer) says, except when he says : ‘come to prayer, come to success’. Instead, one should say : ‘There is no might nor power except with Allah.’].
"

لا حَـوْلَ وَلا قُـوَّةَ إِلاّ بِالله



hawla wa lâ quwwata illâ bi-l-lâhi.




23 - "And I too bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner, and that Muhammad is His salve and Messenger. I am pleased with Allah as a Lord, and Muhammad as a Messenger and Islam as a religion."

وَأَنا أَشْـهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلـهَ إِلاّ اللهُ وَحْـدَهُ لا شَـريكَ لَـه ، وَأَنَّ محَمّـداً عَبْـدُهُ وَرَسـولُه ، رَضيـتُ بِاللهِ رَبَّاً ، وَبِمُحَمَّـدٍ رَسـولاً وَبِالإِسْلامِ دينَـاً



Wa anâ ash-hadu an lâ ilâha illâ l-lâhu, wahdahu lâ sharîka lâhu, wa anna Muhammadan cabduhu wa rasûluhu. Radîtu bi-l-lâhi rabban, wa bi-muhammadin rasûlan, wa bi-l-islâmi dînan.




24 - "[One should then send prayers on the Prophet (saws) after answering the call of the mu-athin]."

.



Allâhumma salli calâ sayyidinâ Muhammadin wa calâ âlihi wa sahbihi wa sallim.




25 - "O Allah, Owner of this perfect call and Owner of this prayer to be performed, bestow upon Muhammad al-waseelah and al-fadeelah and send him upon a praised platform which You have promised him. Verily, You never fail in Your promise."

اللّهُـمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدّعْـوَةِ التّـامَّة وَالصّلاةِ القَـائِمَة آتِ محَـمَّداً الوَسيـلةَ وَالْفَضـيلَة وَابْعَـثْه مَقـامـاً مَحـموداً الَّذي وَعَـدْتَه [إِنَّـكَ لا تُـخْلِفُ الميـعاد



Allâhumma rabba hâdhihi d-dacwati t-âmmati, wa s-salâti-l-qâ'imati.Âti Muhammadan al wasîlata wa-l-fadîlata, wa bcath-hu maqâman mahmûdan al-ladhî wacadtahu. [Innaka lâ tukhlifu-l-mîcâd.]




26 - "[One should also supplicate for himself during the time between the athan and the iqamah as supplication at such time is not rejected]."

.

27 - "O Allah, distance me from my sins just as You have distanced The East from The West, O Allah, purify me of my sins as a white robe is purified of filth, O Allah, cleanse me of my sins with snow, water, and ice."

اللّهُـمَّ باعِـدْ بَيـني وَبَيْنَ خَطـايايَ كَما باعَدْتَ بَيْنَ المَشْرِقِ وَالمَغْرِبْ ، اللّهُـمَّ نَقِّنـي مِنْ خَطايايَ كَمـا يُـنَقَّى الثَّـوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسْ ، اللّهُـمَّ اغْسِلْنـي مِنْ خَطايـايَ بِالثَّلـجِ وَالمـاءِ وَالْبَرَدْ



Allâhumma bacid baynî wa bayna khatâyâya kamâ bâcadta bayna-l-mashriqi wa-l-maghribi. Allâhumma naqqinî min khatâyâya kamâ yunaqqa th-thawbu-l-abyadu mina d-danasi. Allâhumma ghsilnî min khatâyâya bi th-thalji wa-l-mâ'i wa-l-barad.
