Glory be to You, [exalted] above what the oppressors say, a great exaltation, and above what the heretics fabricate: that you are buried in this spot, or overcome, or vanquished, or killed. Rather, You are the Creator of death and annihilation, and You are the Ever-Living, the Enduring, the Pre-eternal, the Beginningless, the Lord of lords, the God of gods, and the Compeller of compellers.

How can annihilation befall You when You are its Creator? And how can killing descend upon You when You are its Originator? Or how could Your enemies be set up against You when You give them life and cause them to die, however You will, [and] how You will? You are exalted above the saying of he who says that you are overcome, or vanquished, or besieged, or persecuted, a great exaltation.

You cast Your form upon Your chosen one, Hanzala, Your likeness, and by that, You made Your Paradise obligatory for him, promised him Your pardon and forgiveness, and gave him the elevated station and the high, virtuous degree. So upon him from You be greeting, blessings, salutation, and peace, over the passage of ages and times; and upon the monotheistic, knowing believers, from their Creator be mercy and forgiveness.

And you prostrate and supplicate with whatever you like for yourself and your brothers; it will be answered, God the Exalted willing.
