Summary

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful, may God bless our lord Mohammed and his relations and his friends, and peace be (upon them).

This is written for the instruction of my relations.

In the name of God, God is the beginning of my writing, His name is God, from Him is the beginning of work.

O God, my Lord, grant us prosperity, we utter invocations, we offer supplications and prayers.

O God, creator and sustainer of thy servants, O my Lord who art worshipped and rulest over the kingdom.

O God, prepare us that we may work successfully, let us not fail or do that which is unfitting.

We will speak out, if there is anyone to listen to our words; that which you hear cast not away.

Ye too O women, my disciples, do you show diligence; invoke the name of God and offer supplications and prayers.

Put far away and leave off false dealing, leave off whispering, leave off jealousy and tale-bearing.

Be afraid, there is a day of meeting between us and God; on that day whatever you are within shall be revealed.

Wherever there is any secret, any secret thieving, any envying, on that day there shall be confusion, he will say that he did it not.
