Magnify Thou,
moreover,
such as have believed in Him and in His signs and
have turned towards Him,
from among those that have acknowledged Thy unity
in His Latter Manifestation--a Manifestation whereof He hath made mention
in His Tablets,
and in His Books,
and in His Scriptures,
and in all the
wondrous verses and gem-like utterances that have descended upon Him.
It
is this same Manifestation Whose covenant Thou hast bidden Him establish
ere He had established His own covenant.
He it is Whose praise the Bayán
hath celebrated.
In it His excellence hath been extolled,
and His truth
established,
and His sovereignty proclaimed,
and His Cause perfected.
Blessed is the man that hath turned unto Him,
and fulfilled the things He
hath commanded,
O Thou Who art the Lord of the worlds and the Desire of
all them that have known Thee!
Praised be Thou,
O my God,
inasmuch as Thou hast aided us to recognize and
love Him.
I,
therefore,
beseech Thee by Him and by Them Who are the
Day-Springs of Thy Divinity,
and the Manifestations of Thy Lordship,
and
the Treasuries of Thy Revelation,
and the Depositories of Thine
inspiration,
to enable us to serve and obey Him,
and to empower us to
become the helpers of His Cause and the dispersers of His adversaries.
Powerful art Thou to do all that pleaseth Thee.
No God is there beside

the Almighty,
the All-Glorious,
the One Whose help is sought by all
men!
God testifieth to the unity of His Godhood and to the singleness of His
own Being.
On the throne of eternity,
from the inaccessible heights of His
station,
His tongue proclaimeth that there is none other God but Him.
He
Himself,
independently of all else,
hath ever been a witness unto His own
oneness,
the revealer of His own nature,
the glorifier of His own essence.
He,
verily,
is the All-Powerful,
the Almighty,
the Beauteous.
He is supreme over His servants,
and standeth over His creatures.
In His
hand is the source of authority and truth.
He maketh men alive by His
signs,
and causeth them to die through His wrath.
He shall not be asked of
His doings and His might is equal unto all things.
He is the Potent,
the
All-Subduing.
He holdeth within His grasp the empire of all things,
and on
His right hand is fixed the Kingdom of His Revelation.
His power,
verily,
