Following this, he mentioned the Sheikh of Reality, the Master Abu Abd Allah al-Husayn ibn Hamdan al-Khasibi—may Allah ennoble his station—declaring that he would never deviate from his path, that he followed his methodologies, and he expressed his gratitude to the Sheikh al-Khasibi, and acknowledged his merit. Then, after that, he asked Allah—who had granted him the knowledge of His Monotheism—to rectify the affairs of whoever memorizes this poem and professes faith in Allah the Exalted through it, according to the manner explained therein. Furthermore, he invoked a swift death upon the Opponent (al-Didd) and whoever shows enmity toward this Saved Sect (al-Ta’ifa al-Najiya).

After that, he praised his own poem and his brothers in knowledge and Monotheism, [affirming] that he professes his faith before Allah through what he has spoken, and asking Allah for steadfastness upon that. In the final verse of the poem, he sought Allah’s pardon for his sins and asked for His forgiveness for himself and for all the believers from every group. May Allah sanctify his soul, illuminate his tomb, ennoble his station, and forgive his past and future sins, and those of all the believers.

Among the illustrious Sheikhs who engaged in composing poetry on Monotheism is the leading Master, the Scholar, the Gnostic, Abu al-Hasan Ali al-Halabi.
