| 0:20.3 | All praises indeed due to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala blessings and salutations upon Muhammad |
| 0:25.2 | Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam. We ask Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to bless his entire household |
| 0:30.5 | without exception, all his companions without exception, and we ask Allah Subhanahu |
| 0:35.8 | wa Ta'ala to bless every single one of us and our offspring goes to come up to the |
| 0:39.4 | day of the Yama. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala grant us goodness, keep us steadfast. |
