The First Part

At-tahiyyato-li-l-lah wa-s-salawato wa-t-tayyibat التحيات لله و الصلوات و الطيبات

As-salamu’alayka ayyuha-n-nabiy السلام عليك أيها النبي

Wa rahmatu-l-lahi wa barakatuh و رحمة الله وبركاته

Alsalamu ‘alayna السلام علينا

Wa ‘ala ‘ibadi–l-lahi-s-salihen على عباد الله الصالحين

Ashhadu an la ilaha-illa-l-lah أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله

Wahdahu la shareeka lahu وحده لا شريك له

Wa ashadu ana Muhammadan و أشهد أن محمداً

Abdahu wa rasulahu عبده و رسوله
            This may be interpreted as follows:
            All reverence, all worship, all sanctity are due to God.
            Peace be upon you, O prophet and the mercy of God and His blessings.
            Peace be upon us all and on the righteous servants of God.
            I bear witness that there is no god but God alone,
            And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.

            (This part is recited after the second unit in every prayer consisting of three or four units and then the worshipper stands up for the third unit.)
