Introduction of the Sermon of Friday prayer
“All praise be to Allah. The blessed end will be to those who are mindful of Allah, and there will be no transgression except against wrongdoers. I testify that there is no god but Allah, Alone who has no partner, and Prophet Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. O Allah, send Your peace and blessings on Prophet Muhammad, his Family, and Companions. Guide us to follow his way in all our words, deeds, and conditions. I would like to remind you of these words of Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, in the Glorious Qur'an -I recite, after seeking refuge with Allah from the rejected Satan: “You who believe! Be mindful of God, and let every soul consider carefully what it sends ahead for tomorrow; be mindful of God, for God is well aware of everything you do.” [Surat Al-Hashr: 18].
[1] Upon recitation of the Glorious Quran, it is prescribed to start by saying: “I seek refuge with Allah from the rejected Satan” and “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful” except in case of Surat At-Tawbah, we start recitation without saying “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.”
