الله أكبر

Allaah is The Greatest (Statement of Allaah’s Greatness, and Loftiness.)

سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَى جَدُّكَ وَلاَ إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

Glory to be you O Allaah and all of the praises.

(Praising and glorifying Allaah by believing in and declaring His perfection as His is absolute perfection. Coupling that with His right to All praise, as there is none that has virtue except that He is the One who bestowed it upon him. His praise is true from His slaves coming from their love and awe of Him)

Blessed is Your name and high is Your status.

(The mentioning of the blessing of His name as He is the One who, when you ask Him, he gives you And when you call upon Him, He answers. Then mentioning His high status and sanctity and reaffirming His perfection)

And there is no one and nothing that has the right to be worshiped beside you.

(Completing by the realization that Due to His unique and supreme attributes, there is no one and nothing that has the right to be worshiped beside Him)

اللَّهُمَّ بَاعِدْ بَيْنِى وَبَيْنَ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا بَاعَدْتَ بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ اللَّهُمَّ نَقِّنِى مِنْ خَطَايَاىَ كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْنِى مِنْ خَطَايَاىَ بِالثَّلْجِ وَالْمَاءِ وَالْبَرَدِ

O Allaah, please separate and distance between me and my sins, the way you have separated and distanced between the east and west. O Allaah, please purify me of my sins the way that white clothes are made pure of filth. O Allaah, please wash me of my sins with water, snow, and ice.

أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ

I seek refuge with Allaah from Satan, the Outcasted (The oppressive, sinful one, who does not benefit from admonition or warnings).

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

In The Name of Allaah The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

(Seeking of the blessings of, and purification of intentions for, The Most High Creator of all that exists, by mentioning His greatest name, which is followed on by the rest of His innumerable names of perfection. The vastly merciful Who bestows His Mercy upon who He wills from His creation.)

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

All Praise is due to Allaah the Lord and Master of all that exists.

الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

The Most Merciful, The One Who shows Mercy.

مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

The Absolute Master of The Day of Reckoning.

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

We only worship You, alone, and we only seek help from You.

اهْدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

Please show us The Straight Path.
