O my Lord!
Illumine it with the light of
Thy countenance.
Protect it,
then,
from turning to anyone but Thee.
God testifieth that there is none other God but Him.
His are the kingdoms
of Revelation and of creation.
He,
in truth,
hath manifested Him Who is
the Day-Spring of Revelation,
Who conversed on Sinai,
through Whom the
Supreme Horizon hath been made to shine,
and the Lote-Tree beyond which
there is no passing hath spoken,
and through Whom the call hath been
proclaimed unto all who are in heaven and on earth:
"Lo,
the
All-Possessing is come.
Earth and heaven,
glory and dominion are God's,
the Lord of all men,
and the Possessor of the Throne on high and of earth
below!
"
Exalted art Thou above my praise and the praise of anyone beside me,
above
my description and the description of all who are in heaven and all who
are on earth!
Disappoint not,
O my God,
him that hath,
with beseeching fingers,
clung to
the hem of Thy mercy and Thy grace,
O Thou Who of those who show mercy art
the Most Merciful!
I bear witness to Thy unity and Thy oneness,
and that Thou art God,
and
that there is none other God beside Thee.
Thou hast,
verily,
revealed Thy
Cause,
fulfilled Thy Covenant,
and opened wide the door of Thy grace to
all that dwell in heaven and on earth.
Blessing and peace,
salutation and
glory,
rest upon Thy loved ones,
whom the changes and chances of the world
have not deterred from turning unto Thee,
and who have given their all,
in
the hope of obtaining that which is with Thee.
Thou art,
in truth,
the
Ever-Forgiving,
the All-Bountiful.
I bear witness to Thy unity and Thy oneness,
and that Thou art
God,
and that there is none other God beside Thee.
Whoso wisheth to recite this prayer,
let him stand up and turn
unto God,
and,
as he standeth in his place,
