PART SEVEN:
VISITATION

Shaykh al-Islām—may Allah have mercy on him—said:

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

All praise is due to Allah. We praise Him and seek His help, guidance, and forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil within ourselves and from our evil deeds. Whoever Allah guides, none can lead astray; and whoever He leads astray, none can guide. I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah alone, without partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. May Allah bestow blessings and abundant peace upon him, his family, and his Companions.
