Recital of Salawaat Tu'naj'inah then Sura tul-Faatihah Sharif followed by:
"O Allah, I implore you through your Infinite Mercy, accept this Khatam in Your Court. I present the blessings of this Khatam as a present, a gift, as a countenance in the Sacred presence of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace). Through the blessings of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) I present the blessings of the Khatam to all the souls of the Anbiya (Prophets) (Allah's blessings be upon them all), Shu'hada (Matyrs) and the Sali'heen (The Pious Ones). Further, I present its blessings to all the souls of the Khawajaghan (Masters) of the Naqshbandiyya, Qadiriyya, Chistiyya, Suhwardiyya and Uwaysiyya. I present it to all the souls of the believing men Mu'mi'neen, believing women Mu'mi'naat; to all the submitting men Musli'meen and submitting women Mus'li'maat. To all the Muslims, man, jinn, women who have lived, are living and will live.
I present the blessings of the Khatam to the souls of Sayyidunnaa Shah Baha'Ud'Din Naqshband, Sayyidunnaa Khawajah Moin'Ud'Din Chisti, Sayyidunnaa Shahab'Ud'Din Suhwardi and to Sayyidunnaa Gawth al Azam Shaykh Abd'ul Qadir al-Jilani al-Hassani wal-Hussaini. Further I present the blessings of the Khatam to the blessed soul of my master Mawlana Shaykh Khawajah Sufi Muhammad Aslam, O Allah elevate his rank, bless us by following his way and keep us in his company!
O Allah, I beseech you through your Infinite Mercy that through the Baraka (goodness) of the Khatam make all difficulties easy. O Allah protect us from the attacks of shaitan and the zalimen (evil transgressors). O Allah protect us further from the attacks of the ego (nafs) and the desires of the world (duniya). O Allah take us away from the door of others and keep us at your door (in your blessed countenance). Shift us away from the presence of others and enable us to seek Your (Majestic and Beautiful) Presence.
O Allah the brothers who are present and not, elevate them to their destined station. O Allah reform and correct the Ummah of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace), bless the Ummah of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace). O Allah have pity upon state of the Ummah of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace)! Create amongst the Ummah of the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and give him peace) a sense of understanding and brotherhood.
O Generous Lord! Make the residents of this locality virtuous. O Allah! have Mercy on the state of this locality. Grant harmony and understanding between each other. O Allah instil: within those unable to pray the ability to pray; within those who have no Dhikr (Remembrance of You) the ability to make Dhikr; within those who have no Fikr (no worry or concern of their deeds) the ability to reflect; bestow upon those who have no offspring pious and upright progeny.
O Allah! Those friends who ask us and write to us to supplicate for them and render their service to us for Your Pleasure and those who travel far distances seeking Your Pleasure, enrich them all openly and secretly.
Then recite the following completion supplication:
Un'sur'na fa'in-na'ka khair'un-Na'si'reen. Waf'tah'la'na fa'in-na'ka khair'ul fati'heen. Wag'fir'la'na fa'in-na'ka khair'ul ga'fi'reen. War'ham'na fa'in-na'ka khair'ur Ra'hi'meen.
