then says:
لا إلهَ إلاّ اللّهُ وَحْـدَهُ لا شَـريكَ له، لهُ المُلـكُ ولهُ
الحَمـد، وهوَ على كلّ شيءٍ قدير، سُـبْحانَ اللهِ، والحمْـدُ لله ، ولا إلهَ إلاّ
اللهُ واللهُ أكبَر، وَلا حَولَ وَلا قوّة إلاّ باللّهِ العليّ العظيم.

AAatheem.

associate, to Him belongs sovereignty and praise and He is over all things
wholly capable. How perfect Allah is, and all praise is for Allah, and none has
the right to be worshipped except Allah, Allah is the greatest and there is no
power nor might except with Allah, The Most High, The Supreme.

me.’

‘and then asks,
he will be answered.If he then performs ablution and prays, his prayer will be
accepted’.”

Him.’
