On this occasion more than forty of us are gathered together here. Some of us may have committed some default. They should repent of it and seek forgiveness for it. Then we shall pray together that Allah, the Exalted, may be pleased to prepare in this school virtuous, rightly-guided servants of the faith; that He may be pleased to keep away from this school such as are evil- minded and are likely to lead others astray, and if any such should come here He may enable them to repent truly. The purpose of this school is that pious and righteous scholars should emerge from this school. " 112 All present then joined him in silent supplication.
