moreover,
at all times
and under all conditions to help Thee and to remember Thee,
and to extol
Thy virtues amidst Thy creatures.
I swear by Thy glory,
O my God!
Every time I muse on Thy glory and Thy
sovereignty I find myself as the most guilty among them that have
transgressed against Thee in Thy realm,
and every time I contemplate the
heights in which none except Thee can abide,
I discover that I am the most
sinful of all the creatures that dwell in Thy land.
Had it not been for
Thy name,
the Concealer,
and for Thy name,
the Ever-Forgiving,
and for the
sweet savors of Thy name,
the Most Merciful,
all Thy chosen ones had been
reckoned amongst the perverse and the wicked.
I render Thee thanks that Thy mercy hath overtaken them and Thy grace and
bountiful favors compassed them on every side.
And now,
having confessed the things Thou didst cause to flow down from my
Pen,
I implore Thee,
by Thy name which Thou hast raised up above every
other name,
and hast caused to overshadow all that are in heaven and all
that are on earth,
to cast not away him that hath turned towards Thee,
and
to deny him not the wonders of Thy grace and the hidden evidences of Thy
mercy.
Let the hands of Thine omnipotence kindle in his heart a lamp that
will enable him to shine brightly in Thy days,
and to cry out with such
vehemence in Thy name that no timidity will deter him from soaring in the
atmosphere of Thy love,
and from ascending to the horizon of rapture and
longing for Thee,
and that the pursuits of Thy creatures will not withhold
him from magnifying Thy word,
that Thou mayest behold him sanctified as
Thou wishest and as beseemeth Thy majesty and glory.
Exalted though this station may be,
O my God,
and however excellent this
position--for who else except Thyself hath the power to show forth what may
be deemed worthy of Thine exaltation and befit Thy greatness--yet Thou art
He Who is the All-Bountiful,
the Most Compassionate.
All the atoms of the
earth testify that Thou art the Ever-Forgiving,
the Benevolent,
the Great
Giver,
the All-Glorious,
the All-Wise.
Look,
then,
upon him,
O my God,
with the eyes of Thy loving-kindness,
and cast upon him the glance of Thy
generosity.
Enrapture him,
moreover,
with the sweet melodies of Him Who is
the Fountain-Head of Thy Revelation,
in such wise that he may wholly
surrender his will to Thy pleasure,
and fix his hopes upon the things Thou
didst ordain in Thy Tablets.
Strengthen,
then,
his heart by Thy name,
the
Almighty,
the Faithful,
that he may draw forth the hand of power,
and with
it help Thy Cause when the light of Thy beauty is manifested and the
Day-Star of Thy majesty is risen.
Since Thou hast called him by Thy name,
