Translation
(There is no God but Allah, alone
without partners. To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him, all praise is due.
He has power over all things. Praise be to Allah, Glory be to Allah, and there
is no god but Allah. Allah is the greatest, and there is no power or might
except with Allah…. O Allah! Forgive me).
According to the Hadith, as one asks
for Allah’s forgiveness, one will be forgiven; if he supplicates Allah, his
supplication will be answered; if he washes for Salah and prays, his prayers
will be accepted.
