لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَلاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ، وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ
None has the right to be worshipped but Allah alone, with no partner. To Him belongs all sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things omnipotent. Glory be to Allah, and praise be to Allah, and there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest, and there is no might nor power except with Allah.
La ilaha ill-Allah wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadeer. Subhan-Allah, wal-hamdu lillah, wa la ilaha ill-Allah, wallahu akbar, wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
