He who may deliver this oration shall here repeat the chapter of
the salvation, after which he shall rise and read the following
oration twice, and shall say, "God is Almighty," seven times:
God is Almighty. Praise be to God, whose praise is exalted and
glorious. I testify that there is no God but God, and that He is alone
and has no partner. I bear witness that Mohammed is his servant and
apostle, and the bright light of the world. May God bless Mohammed
and all his people and descendants. Oh, ye people, depart from evil
and draw near to good. Avoid excess and ye shall be happy. God and
His angels bless the prophet. Ye who have faith bless Him also. Ye
servants of God answer His call, and bless Him through whom God has
directed you. O God, bless Mohammed and his descendants, for he has
directed us to paradise and the roads that lead thereto. O God, bless
Mohammed and his descendants because he warned us of the fire and
its evils. O God, forgive his followers, and his caliphs Abu-Bakar,
Omar, Othman, Ali, Talhat, Zubayr, Abdu-r-Rahman the son of Awf,
Sa'din Saidin, and Abi Ubaydat, because they are the princes of
the faithful and the best of all people. O God, forgive all other
followers and friends of your prophet, and all who follow them. Be
kind to them in the day of judgment. Give them and us mercy, for Thou
art most merciful. O God, perpetuate the power and the victories and
the conquests of him whom Thou hast chosen for the administration and
good management of temporal affairs and religion; he who beseeches the
intercession of the faithful prophet, our master, the Sultan Mohammed
Pudhalun, the son of the late Sultan Mohammed Jamalu-l-Kiram, and
the Sultan, the master, and the noble whom Thou hast chosen, Sultan
Esh-Sharifu-l-Hashim, the kindled light of God; and our thoughtful
and wise master the late Sultan Kamalu-d-Din; and protect the kind and
generous late Sultan Alawa-d-Din, whose descendants became the kings
of the Sulu country. Protect the champion of the Mohammedan religion
and faith, the late Sultan Amirul Umara, and the late Sultan Shah
Muizzu-l-Mutawadhi-in. Protect the power of the generous and victorious
late Sultan Shah Nasiru-d-Din the First. Defend the conqueror, the
late Sultan Shah Mohammed el Halim; defend the intelligent late Sultan
Batara Shah; protect the noble late Sultan Muwalli el Wasit Shah;
aid our great master, the excellent and powerful and the victorious
on land and sea, the Sultan Shah Nasiru-d-Din the Last; aid the just
and honorable and ascetic master, the late Sultan Shah Salahu-d-Din.
