Summary

In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful; may the peace of God be upon him, after whom there is no prophet.

We thank the glorious King, the mighty One, exalted, glorious and all powerful.

We further salute Mohammed and his family and friends and all the prophets;

And the followers of his followers, and his friends; and the angels too we greet.

And after we have completed (our) salutations and greetings, do ye listen O companions of Abd-el-Kadr.

And you, my brother, my friend, fear our Lord who made everything.

You my friend, give attention with your ears; the thing which I tell thee is indeed true.

Give up also evil doing and suspicion and envy; give up all proud looks and all abuse.

Repent, leave off all that which is forbidden and speaking evil of God, leave off falsehood, fear to whisper evil about anyone.

Leave off too making (wanton) play according to your desire, and your evil intention; leave off gambling, cease taking your fill of everything.

Give up all playing of ‘darra’ and ‘dirka’ and stealing, fear the meeting with Him who has power over all.

Repent, give up slandering and jesting; repent, give up going about begging for everything.
