Seadet-i Ebediyye - Endless Bliss Third Fascicle

2 — ASH’HADU AN LÂ ILÂHA IL-L-ALLAH: Although
He does not need anyone’s worship owing to His greatness, I bear
witness and certainly believe that none besides Him is worthy of
being worshipped. Nothing is like Him.
3 — ASH’HADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN RASÛLULLAH:
I bear witness and believe that Hadrat Muhammad ‘sall-Allâhu
’alaihi wa sallam’ is the Prophet sent by Him, that he is the
communicant of the way of the acts of worship liked by Him, that
only suitable acts of worship are those which have been
communicated and shown by him.
4-5 — HAYYA ’ALASSALÂH, HAYYA ’ALALFALÂH:
These are the two words inviting the Believers to namâz, which
causes happiness and salvation.
6 — ALLÂHU AKBAR: No one can do the worship worthy of
Him. He is so great, so far from anyone’s worship being worthy of
Him or suitable for Him.
7 — LÂ ILÂHA IL-L-ALLAH: He, alone, has the right to be
worshipped, to humiliate oneself before. Along with the fact that
no one can do the worship worthy of Him, no one besides Him is
worthy of being worshipped.
Greatness of the honour in namâz should be understood from
the greatness of these words selected to inform everybody with it.
Translation of a Persian line:
“The year’s prolificity is predictable by the spring.”
O our Allah! For the grace and honour of the Master and the
highest of Prophets ‘’alaihi wa ’alaihimussalawâtu wa-t-teslîmât’,
make us join people who perform namâz as You like them to and
who will thus be rescued from Thine torment! Âmîn.
[In the section dealing with the Sûra Inshirâh, the tafsîr of Sâwî
quotes, “Allâhu ta’âlâ said, ‘I will exalt your name in the East, in
the West and everywhere on the globe.’ ” When a distance of a
longitude is travelled towards the west, the time of each namâz
comes four minutes later. On the equator, at the end of every 28
kilometers towards the west, the adhân of the same namâz is
repeated with an interval of one minute. Thus, the adhân is called
in every place of the world every moment, and Muhammad’s
‘’alaihissalâm’ name is heard everywhere. It is written in the
explanation of Shir’at-ul-Islâm, “When somebody came to Hadrat
’Abdullah ibni ’Umar and said, ‘I like you very much for Allah’s
sake,’ he answered, ‘And for Allah’s sake I don’t like you at all,
because you call the adhân melodiously like singing.’ ”]
