Fortress of the Muslim
Hisn al-Muslim 206
بِسْـمِ اللهِ وَالْحَمْـدُ لله، ﴿سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ * وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ﴾ الحَمْـدُ لله، الحَمْـدُ لله، الحَمْـدُ لله، اللهُ أكْـبَر، اللهُ أكْـبَر، اللهُ أكْـبَر، سُـبْحانَكَ اللّهُـمَّ إِنّي ظَلَـمْتُ نَفْسي فَاغْـفِرْ لي، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِـرُ الذُّنوبَ إِلاّ أَنْـت
In the name of Allah, and praise be to Allah. “Glory be to Him who has subjected this for us, though we could not have mastered it ourselves; and surely, to our Lord we will return.” Praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah, praise be to Allah. Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. Glory be to You, O Allah. I have wronged myself, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You.
Translation notes
وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ
The witness adds “by our efforts,” while the Arabic says that we could not have managed or subdued it.
Should “by our efforts” be treated as explanatory rather than source text?
