In the first, the Imam recites At-Tashah- hud (ash-hadu. . . ), ta’awuz, Surah Faatihah, and then addresses the Muslims in the local language. When he finishes his first sermon, he sits down for a moment and then stands up and reads the second part, the Khutbah Thaania, in the Arabic language, as follows: 5. 4 All praise is due to Allah, we laud Him, we beseech help from Him and ask His forgiveness. We believe in Him, and we put our trust in Him, and we seek Allah's protection against the evils and mischiefs of our souls and from the bad results of our deeds. Whomsoever Allah guides on the right path, none can misguide him, and whomsoever He declares misled, none can guide him to the right path. And we bear witness that none deserves to be worshipped, save Allah. He is Alone, and has no partner. We bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Mes- senger. O servants of Allah! May Allah be merciful to you! Verily, Allah com- mands you to act with justice, and to do good to others and giving like kindred; and forbids indecency and manifest evil and wrongful transgres- sion. He admonishes you that you may take heed; you remember Allah, He too will remember you; call Him and He will make a response to your call; and verily Divine remembrance is the highest virtue. 5. 4 5. 4 5. 4 5. 4 5. 4 S S S S S ALA ALA ALA ALA ALAT T T T T — O — O — O — O — O THER THER THER THER THER P P P P P RA RA RA RA RAYERS YERS YERS YERS YERS R R R R R ELA ELA ELA ELA ELATED TED TED TED TED T O T O T O T O T O S S S S S ALA ALA ALA ALA ALAT T T T T
