Our creed is Salafi in thought and faith.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter of the poem:
Our creed is Salafi in thought and faith
The foundation of truth throughout the ages
Creeds and peoples perish and fade away
And our call remains in every place
The Divine preserved for us the creed of Ahmad
Through the established preservation and the Qur'an
There is no deviation in it, no error that touches it
It is safe from prohibition and deficiency
The call of Ahmad has prevailed over the days
It has encompassed all the earth and its inhabitants
It is a mercy from their Lord for all creation
The mercy of the Most Merciful has spread and become exalted
The Companions took what was brought to them of guidance
And they submitted to the creed of the Qur'an
They did not interpret figuratively, nor deny attributes, nor liken
Rather, they believed in what came in the clear text
They did not impose their thoughts upon His Essence
Or upon the attributes of the Merciful Creator
They understood from the descriptions a clear meaning
At the first glance in the minds
They passed as they came upon their understanding
Without any ambiguity or turning away
They said: "Hearing, that is a hearing befitting His Majesty
Not hearing by the ears
For the Essence is not like essences
And His hearing does not resemble the hearing of humans
And He has a hand, rather two hands, and eyes that are not like the eyes of creation and beings
Whoever says that the eye means His preservation
Or says that giving is by two hands
His two hands are extended, Exalted is His Majesty
In good, honor, and excellence
Allah is above the Throne, above His servants, He is established
Not like any other establishment
They said: "He took possession" to interpret "He established"
We said: Was the Throne not protected?
Or was it owned by a Lord other than Him?
So the Divine came as a competitor to the second
They said: "He established in a direction" and limited Him to it
And Allah is present in every place
They made place for the One who proved it to contain Him
And Allah is above their place and time
The elevation of our Lord is not like their struggle
He is manifest above the servants and near
Allah is the Creator of all things, All-Knowing
And He encompasses all created things that perish
The command is the command of Allah, an effective ruling
Man is not forced in the religions
His decrees are good, and He does not accept disbelief for us
And the earning of evil is the act of the perpetrator
Our thoughts are from the provisions of our Book
Not by interpretation or nonsense
Whoever understood Ahmad, then understood his Companions
The Salaf of guidance and good in the worlds
From the methodology of the Companions is the path of our life
In thought, morals, and faith
It does not require innovations, every misguidance is in the Fire
It burns with Satan
Whoever legislates rulings is a competitor with Allah
In legislation and clarification
We do not take rulings from Zayd
Nor from any human without proof
The Divine said, and the Seal of His Messengers said
Our proof, so the weighing is by the balance
By the truth we know the speaker, so we exalt him
We do not make humans infallible from their forgetfulness
Numbers do not give correctness to an idea
Ideas are not weighed by the divine
We do not worship persons in their following
Without thought, the will of the blind
And obedience to persons is a type of worship
If they contradict the guidance from the Sacred Land
No obedience is obligatory in our Shari'ah
Except to the Lord of the Throne and the worlds
And to Him belongs worship, He has no partner in it
He alone is the one specifically addressed for submission
We do not call for aid to other than Him or hope for anything
From the tyrants and the Qur'an
All supplication, humility, and hope
And fear and compassion are for the Judge
Worship is not permissible for other than Him
If it were permitted, it would be from the idols
Reliance and submission are worship
And so is supplication and the goodness of forgiveness
Then the sacrifices and slaughtering as nearness to the awliya
And every person of status
Whoever asks the deceased associates partners intentionally
Shirk and faith do not coexist
Forgiveness is permissible for all sins
Associating partners with the Most Merciful is not forgiven
The matter of shirk is hidden from many
More hidden than the flow of blood in the artery
This is our creed and this is its affair
And with it we face the station of the Qur'an
!!!!!!
And Allah protects us from tyranny.
