been shed the splendors of the light of guidance.
" Thus hath it been
ordained,
at Thy behest and by Thy will,
in the Tablet of Thine
irrevocable decree.
Proclaim,
therefore,
O my God,
their greatness and the greatness of those
who while living or after death have circled round them.
Supply them with
that which Thou hast ordained for the righteous among Thy creatures.
Potent art Thou to do all things.
There is no God but Thee,
the
All-Powerful,
the Help in Peril,
the Almighty,
the Most Bountiful.
Do not bring our fasts to an end with this fast,
O my Lord,
nor the
covenants Thou hast made with this covenant.
Do Thou accept all that we
have done for love of Thee,
and for the sake of Thy pleasure,
and all that
we have left undone as a result of our subjection to our evil and corrupt
desires.
Enable us,
then,
to cleave steadfastly to Thy love and Thy
good-pleasure,
and preserve us from the mischief of such as have denied
Thee and repudiated Thy most resplendent signs.
Thou art,
in truth,
the
Lord of this world and of the next.
No God is there beside Thee,
the
Exalted,
the Most High.
Magnify Thou,
O Lord my God,
Him Who is the Primal Point,
the Divine
Mystery,
the Unseen Essence,
the Day-Spring of Divinity,
and the
Manifestation of Thy Lordship,
through Whom all the knowledge of the past
and all the knowledge of the future were made plain,
through Whom the
pearls of Thy hidden wisdom were uncovered,
and the mystery of Thy
treasured name disclosed,
Whom Thou hast appointed as the Announcer of the
One through Whose name the letter B and the letter E have been joined and
united,
through Whom Thy majesty,
Thy sovereignty and Thy might were made
known,
through Whom Thy words have been sent down,
and Thy laws set forth
with clearness,
and Thy signs spread abroad,
and Thy Word established,
through Whom the hearts of Thy chosen ones were laid bare,
and all that
were in the heavens and all that were on the earth were gathered together,
Whom Thou hast called 'Alí-Muhammad in the kingdom of Thy names,
and the
Spirit of Spirits in the Tablets of Thine irrevocable decree,
Whom Thou
hast invested with Thine own title,
unto Whose name all other names have,
at Thy bidding and through the power of Thy might,
been made to return,
and in Whom Thou hast caused all Thine attributes and titles to attain
their final consummation.
To Him also belong such names as lay hid within
Thy stainless tabernacles,
in Thine invisible world and Thy sanctified
cities.
