In the name of God the Compassionate and Merciful. God is greatest. God
is exalted. He is the Master of the World and the King of the Universe

birds praise Him. Praise and glory be to Thee, O Lord. Thou art the
Lord of Indescribable Might and Honor. Peace be to the missionaries,
and praise to God, the Lord of the Universe.
