I -asws Praise Him -azwj upon His -azwj Bounties, and I -asws seek Refuge with Him -azwj His -azwj Vengeance, seeking Guidance of Allah -azwj , and I -asws seek Refuge with Him -azwj from the straying and the destruction. The one whom Allah -azwj Guides, so he has travelled upon the ideal road, and has acquired the best of the booties; and the one who Allah -azwj Lets to stray, so he is perplexed from the guidance and collapsed into the destruction.
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ وَلِيُّهُ الْمُرْتَضَى وَ بَعِيثُهُ بِالْهُدَى أَرْسَلَهُ عَلَى حِينِ فَتْرَةٍ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَ اخْتِلَافٍ مِنَ الْمِلَلِ وَ انْقِطَاعٍ مِنَ السُّبُلِ وَ دُرُوسٍ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ طُمُوسٍ مِنْ أَعْلَامِ الْهُدَى وَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ And I testify that there is no god except for Allah -azwj , One, there being no associates for Him -azwj , and that Muhammad -saww is His -azwj servant and His -azwj Rasool -saww , the Chosen one, and His -azwj Guardian with whom He -azwj is Pleased with, and Sent him -saww with the Guidance.
He -azwj Sent him -saww upon where there was an interval from the Rasools -as and there was differing among the nations, and there was an interruption from the ways and the teachings from the Wisdom, and obscurities from the banners of the Guidance and the proofs.
فَبَلَّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّهِ وَ صَدَعَ بِأَمْرِهِ وَ أَدَّى الْحَقَّ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تُوُفِّيَ فَقِيداً مَحْمُوداً ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ثُمَّ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأُمُورَ كُلَّهَا بِيَدِ اللَّهِ تَجْرِي إِلَى أَسْبَابِهَا وَ مَقَادِيرِهَا فَأَمْرُ اللَّهِ يَجْرِي إِلَى قَدَرِهِ وَ قَدَرُهُ يَجْرِي إِلَى أَجَلِهِ وَ أَجَلُهُ يَجْرِي إِلَى كِتَابِهِ وَ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتابٌ يَمْحُوا اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ وَ يُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ So he -saww delivered the Message of his -saww Lord -azwj , and implemented His -azwj Commands and fulfilled the Truth which he -saww was upon, and he -saww passed away and the Praiser -saww is very much missed.
Then, these matters are in the Hands of Allah -azwj , all of them, Causing them to flow to its reasons and its measurements. So Allah -azwj Commanded that these flow by His -azwj Measurement, and Measured it to flow to its term, and flowing it to its prescribed time, and for every term there is a prescribed time. Allah Obliterates whatever He so Desires to and Establishes, and with Him is the Mother of the Book [13:39] .
