Bismillāh al-Rahmān al-Rahīm

(In the Name of Allāh, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful)

Call unto the way of thy Lord with wisdom and fair exhortation, and reason with them in the better way. Lo! Thy Lord is best aware of him who strayeth from His way, and He is Best Aware of those who go aright.

(Qur'ān 16:125)
