African Muslims In Antebellum America – Allan D Austin

In the name of God, the merciful ! the compassionate ! God bless our Lord Mohammed his prophet, and his descendants, and his followers, and prosper them exceedingly. Praise be to God the Lord of all creatures ! the merciful, the compassionate king of the day of judgment ! Thee we adore, and of thee we implore assistance ! Guide us in the right way, the way of those with whom thou art well pleased, and not of those with whom thou art angry, nor of those who are in error.
