O Lord, all praise belongs to You, a praise in the mighty seven, all praise belongs to You, in the well-stretched earth, all praise belongs to You, to the capability of the servants, all praise belongs to You, to the fill of the lands, all praise belongs to You in the mountains firmly standing, all praise belongs to You in the night when it becomes dark, all praise belongs to You in the day when it is bright, all praise belongs to You, in the hereafter and in the one before, all praise belongs to You, in the, al-Mathani (name of Chapter One of the Holy Quran) and the great Quran. I testify that Allah is free of all defects, I speak of His praise and all of the earth is in His control. On the Day of Judgment the heavens will be folded by His right hand. I testify that You are pure of all defects, our Lord, the Most High, the Most Blessed, the Most Holy, You have created all things by Your power, subdued all things by Your majesty. You are high above all things by Your highness, You are dominant over all things by Your power, You have invented all things by Your wisdom and knowledge, You have commissioned the messengers with Your books and guided the virtuous people by Your permission, supported the believing people with Your victory. You reign the creatures by Your authority, no one deserves to be worshipped except You alone and You have no partner. We do not worship anyone other than You, we do not ask for help from anyone other than You and we do not incline to anyone other than toward You, You are the One before Whom we complain, the end of our hope, our Lord and our owner.’”
