Pre-Flight Islamic Prayer on Jazeera Airways

I flew Jazeera Airways to and from Dubai last weekend. On the Islamic countries airlines such as Pakistan and Kuwait Airways and Jazeera, they play a pre-recorded Islamic prayer before takeoff. The one on Jazeera is very nice and meditative sounding. It would be nice to get a good recording of it. The plane is taxiing while the prayer plays so there is a lot of background noise.

Here is a partial recording:

The referenced post gives the English translation as:

Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great. Allah is the Most Great. Glory is to Him Who has provided this for us though we could never have had it by our efforts. Surely, unto our Lord we are returning. O Allah, we ask You on this our journey for goodness and piety, and for works that are pleasing to You . O Allah , lighten this journey for us and make its distance easy for us . O Allah, You are our Companion on the road and the One in Whose care we leave our family . O Allah , I seek refuge in You from this journey’s hardships, and from the wicked sights in store and from finding our family and property in misfortune upon returning.
