Behold, bow down in a mosque glowing with light,

And the radiance of guidance has guided the faces of those who bow.

Guiding the faces of kneeling worshippers with the glow of guidance.

A place for the religion of God has become illuminated,

With His fairest verses, and has made a northern star rise.

With its beautiful verses, the morning star has risen.

From its niche of piety it beckons,

Dignity and safety; so enter the gate, prostrating yourselves.

Where dignity and security originate. Enter the gate bowing down.
