The Shaykh :"We ask Allah the Exalted to keep us firm upon this creed" Amen. "And to bring its fruits to fruition for us, and to increase us from His bounty, and not to let our hearts deviate after He has guided us, and to bestow upon us from Him mercy. Indeed, He is the Bestower. And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family, his Companions, and those who follow them with excellence".

The student: On the first part of the study, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh : On the first part of the study, most of the attendees are present.
The student: O Shaykh, those who attended will listen to it during the break after the study.
The Shaykh : Fine. Good, if Allah wills, and it is so. And may Allah the Exalted remind us of you.
