 乾坤初始,天籍注名。
 傳教大聖,降生西域。
 
 授受天經,三十部冊,
 普化眾生。 億兆君師,萬聖領袖。
 
 協助天運, 保庇國民。
 五時祈祐, 默祝太平。
 存心真主, 加志窮民。
 拯救患難, 洞徹幽冥。
 
 超拔靈魂, 脱離罪業。
 仁覆天下, 道冠古今。
 
 降邪歸一, 教名清真。
 
 穆罕默德,至貴聖人。

 
The universe began with the heavenly tablet recording his name.
The religion-delivering great sage, born in the western realm.
 
Conferring and receiving heavenly scripture in thirty parts, universally transforming all created beings.
Master of the trillion rulers, leader of the ten thousand sages.
 
Assisted by destiny, protector of the community.
In each of the five prayers, he silently supplicates for their total well-being.
His heart directed towards Allah, remembering the needy.
Deliver them from tribulations to safety, Knower of the unseen.

Exalted above every soul and spirit, free from any blameworthy deeds.
A mercy to all of the worlds, whose path is preeminent for all time.

Renouncing spiritual ignorance; returning to The One — that is the religion called Islam.

Muhammad is the most noble sage.
 

—Text and translation by B. Newlon[4]: 3

Mosques built by imperial decree raised the social position of Islam, and assistance from upper-class Muslims helped to sustain religious sites in certain areas
