Possessor of all names,
and the Fashioner of earth and heaven!
Through Him
all created things were made to glorify Thee,
and to celebrate Thy praise,
and every soul was directed towards the kingdom of Thy revelation and Thy
sovereignty.
At one time,
Thou didst raise Him up,
O my God,
and didst attire Him with
the ornament of the name of Him Who conversed with Thee (Moses),
and didst
through Him uncover all that Thy will had decreed and Thine irrevocable
purpose ordained.
At another time,
Thou didst adorn Him with the name of
Him Who was Thy Spirit (Jesus),
and didst send Him down out of the heaven
of Thy will,
for the edification of Thy people,
infusing thereby the
spirit of life into the hearts of the sincere among Thy servants and the
faithful among Thy creatures.
Again,
Thou didst reveal Him,
decked forth
by the name of Him Who was Thy Friend (Muhammad),
and caused Him to shine
brightly above the horizon of Hijáz,
as a token of Thy power and an
evidence of Thy might.
Through Him Thou didst send unto Thy servants what
enabled them to scale the heights of Thy unity,
and to yearn over the
wonders of Thy manifold knowledge and wisdom.
I testify,
O Thou Who art the Lord of the whole creation,
and the Desire
of whosoever hath sought Thee,
that,
amidst Thy creatures,
They resemble
the sun which no matter how often it riseth and setteth is still the one
and the same sun.
Whoso maketh any distinction between any of Them hath
truly failed to attain the ultimate purpose,
and to reach the highest
goal,
and hath been deprived of the mysteries of unity and of the lights
of sanctity and oneness.
I testify,
moreover,
that Thou hast decreed that
none on the face of the earth should equal Them,
and none of Thy creatures
be able to be compared with any of Them,
in order that Thine own
singleness and peerlessness might be recognized and established.
Glorified,
immeasurably glorified be Thy name,
O my God!
How can I ever
befittingly mention Thee or sufficiently praise Thee,
that Thou hast
manifested Him by the power of Thy might,
and caused Him to shine above
the horizon of Thy will,
and made Him the Day-Spring of Thy signs,
and the
Dawning-Place of the revelation of Thy names and Thine attributes?
How
bewilderingly mysterious,
moreover,
O my God,
is His nature and all that
Thou hast infused into Him,
through Thy strength and by the power of Thy
might!
At one time He appeareth as the water which is Life indeed,
sent
down out of the heaven of Thy grace,
and poured forth from the clouds of
Thy mercy,
that Thy creatures may be endued with new life,
and live as
long as Thine own Kingdom endureth.
Every drop of that water would suffice
to quicken the dead,
and to set their faces in the direction of Thy favors
and Thy gifts,
and to rid them of all attachment to aught else except
Thee.
