2 All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of all that exist, The Creator. We praise Him, we seek His aid, we ask for His forgiveness, and we repent to Him. We seek refuge from the evils of ourselves and the evil consequences for our actions. Whomsoever Allah guides, then none can misguide him and whomsoever Allah sends astray there is no guide for him. I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone, having no partners, no sons or daughters, and I testify that Muhammad ibn Abdullah (salla allahu alaihi wa salaam) is His slave, final Prophet and Messenger. May Allah grant peace, blessings, and mercy upon the Prophet, his family and companions. May he guide you, your family, me and all the Muslims to stay upon the path of righteousness, the path of truth guidance ameen. To Proceed:
