A: tawwakkaltu (I place my trust) ala lhayyil (upon the one who is Ever living) lazee la yamoot (the One who does not die) alhumdulillahil (All praise belongs to Allah) lazee lam yathakiz walada (the being who has not begotten any children) walum yakulahu shareekun (and He has no partner) fil mulk (in His kingdom) wa lum yakulahu waleeyum (and He does not have any assistant) minazul. (due to weakness) wa kabbir hu thakbeera (and glorify Him in abundance).
