Explanatory translation
5O believers! Pray to your Lord, who has given you these blessings, in this way: Our Lord! With all our sincerity, we give You our word. We worship You alone, carry out Your commands, and obey Your orders unconditionally. We accept no authority other than You to direct our lives and lay down rules. We will never yield to any power, whoever it may be, that issues rulings contrary to Your commands, and we are servants of You alone. And because we are servants of You alone, we follow Your call. We implore You alone and take refuge in Your power and compassion alone. In every matter we ask for help from You alone. We believe with all our hearts that none of our wishes can come true without Your permission and approval. That is why we follow Your laws alone and carry out Your commands. Whenever we are in difficulty in any matter, we ask for help from You alone.
