Friday of the Two Booklets: from the beginning, "Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds," to the end, "Say: I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind." The Word of God.
أَعُوذُ — I seek refuge. This is a present-tense verb in the first person, with the 'I' already carried inside the verb's own prefix rather than spelled out as a separate pronoun. It opens the quoted line and governs the prepositional phrase after it, naming the speaker as the one seeking refuge.
