أُوصِيكُمْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَلِيِّ النِّعْمَةِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ خَالِقِ الْأَنَامِ وَ مُدَبِّرِ الْأُمُورِ فِيهَا بِالْقُوَّةِ عَلَيْهَا وَ الْإِتْقَانِ لَهَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى غَابِرِ مَا يَكُونُ وَ مَاضِيهِ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ مُفْرَداً وَ الثَّنَاءُ مُخْلَصاً بِمَا مِنْهُ كَانَتْ لَنَا نِعْمَةً مُونِقَةً وَ عَلَيْنَا مُجَلِّلَةً وَ إِلَيْنَا مُتَزَيِّنَةً خَالِقٌ مَا أَعْوَزَ وَ مُذِلٌّ مَا اسْتَصْعَبَ وَ مُسَهِّلٌ مَا اسْتُوعِرَ وَ مُحَصِّلٌ مَا اسْتَيْسَرَ I -asws advise you, servants of Allah -azwj , with the fear of Allah -azwj , Protector of the Bounties and the Mercy, Creator of the people, and Manager of the affairs with Power over it and Mastery for it.

Therefore, for Allah -azwj is the Praise upon the occurrences which are to transpire and what has passed, and for Him -azwj is the sole Praise being for Him -azwj , and the sincere Extollation with whatever is from Him -azwj which would be a Grace to us and a covering upon us and an adornment to us; Creator of what is honourable and a disgrace, what is difficult and what is easy, what is hard and what is soft.

مُبْتَدِئُ الْخَلْقِ بَدْءاً أَوَّلًا يَوْمَ ابْتَدَعَ السَّمَاءَ وَ هِيَ دُخَانٌ فَقالَ لَها وَ لِلْأَرْضِ ائْتِيا طَوْعاً أَوْ كَرْهاً قالَتا أَتَيْنا طائِعِينَ فَقَضَيهُنَّ سَبْعَ سَمَاوَاتٍ فِي يَوْمَيْنِ وَ لَا يَعُورُهُ شَدِيدٌ وَ لَا يَسْبِقُهُ هَارِبٌ وَ لَا يَفُوتُهُ مُزَائِلٌ يَوْمَ تُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ما كَسَبَتْ وَ هُمْ لا يُظْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ .

He -azwj Initiated the creation with an initiation on the first day, initiating the sky, and it was smoke, so He -azwj Said to it and the earth: “Either come willingly or unwillingly”. They both said: ‘We come willingly’. Thus, He -azwj Judged them both as seven skies in two days; and neither were its resources severe nor could the fleer precede Him -azwj nor is a perishable thing lost from Him -azwj . The Day in which every soul shall be paid what it had earned and they would not be oppressed.

Thereafter, so and so …… (are to be married)’.
