إِنِّي وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنِيفًا وَمَا أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
إِنَّ صَلَاتِي وَنُسُكِي وَمَحْيَايَ وَمَمَاتِي لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَبِذَٰلِكَ أُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

میں نے اپنا رخ اس ذات کی طرف کر لیا جس نے آسمانوں اور زمین کو پیدا کیا، یکسو ہو کر، اور میں مشرکوں میں سے نہیں ہوں۔
بے شک میری نماز، میری قربانی، میری زندگی اور میری موت سب اللہ، ربّ العالمین کے لیے ہے۔
اس کا کوئی شریک نہیں، اور مجھے اسی کا حکم دیا گیا ہے، اور میں سب سے پہلا مسلمان ہوں (جو اللہ کے آگے جھکنے والا ہے)۔
