| 1 | O People! There is no other deity but Allah! |
| 2 | The Wise, the Loving, the Patient; |
| 3 | All glory and honor be to Allah and no other! |
| 4 | The Way is not made to be a burden; |
| 5 | Nor is Islam the denial of joy and pleasure. |
| 6 | Verily, the Way is to honor of life and liberty. |
| 7 | It is the teaching, the respect, the happiness. |
| 8 | A community with no discipline and no knowledge, may be blessed by rains or cursed by flood. |
| 9 | Yet a community without law, is a dark and evil place in which much suffering exists. |
| 10 | Thus, Allah gives to his people a way to end suffering, |
| 11 | By recognizing all who live in community must abide by some rule of law. |
| 12 | The permitted is not then a trial, or a test, but a means to lasting happiness and prosperity. |
