Oh Allah! I hope that I am among those who have responded to your call. I came from a far region after I heard your call responding to your request and obeying your command. All that is by the bounty you give me and the beneficence you should me. It is to you belongs praise for what you favored me to achieve and by which I aspire to be in your proximity and neighborhood, have a position before you and be forgive by you for my sins due to the favor I owe you. O Allah! Bless Muhammad and his Household and make my body forbidden for the Fire, make me safe from your chastisement and punishment with your mercy, Oh Most Merciful of the Merciful!
