Praise be to Allah for the granting of favors,

From a bountiful blessing since pre-eternity.

And for what our Lord has bestowed upon us, uniquely among nations,

Upon the tongue of the Chosen One [Mustafa], the Lord of Favors,

His Veil and His Luminous Name.

"Listen, O intelligent, virtuous, and perceptive one, to what this literary master has uttered regarding the summarized and refined Monotheism (Tawhīd). He has presented it in a poetry more desirable, more radiant, and more pleasant to the heart than safety after despair, or the presence of light after darkness and confusion.

May Allah reward the people of virtue and merit, and may the oppressive and contemptible people be crushed and distanced. Were it not for the fame of this poem among the believers, I would have presented it in its entirety. However, I have abridged it to include only what is necessary for our current purpose and cause, with the help of Allah the Exalted.
