be a sign of Thy Revelation among Thy people,
and the Day-Spring of Thine
invisible Self amidst Thy creatures,
until the time when,
as decreed by
Thee,
all Thy previous Revelations culminated in Him Whom Thou hast
appointed as the Lord of all who are in the heaven of revelation and the
kingdom of creation,
Him Whom Thou hast established as the Sovereign Lord
of all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth.
He it was Whom
Thou hast determined to be the Herald of Thy Most Great Revelation and the
Announcer of Thy Most Ancient Splendor.
In this Thou hadst no other
purpose except to try them who have manifested Thy most excellent titles
unto all who are in heaven and on earth.
He it was Whom Thou hast
commanded to establish His covenant with all created things.
And when Thy promise came to pass and the set time was fulfilled,
He Who
is the Possessor of all Names and Attributes was made manifest unto men.
Thereupon all that were in the heavens and all that were on the earth were
terror-stricken save those whom Thou didst keep under Thy protection and
preserve within the shelter of Thy power and gracious providence.
There
befell Him,
at the hands of such of Thy creatures as have transgressed
against Thee,
that which the tongue of no one of Thy servants can recount.
Look down,
then,
upon Him,
O my God,
with the eye of Thy tender mercy,
and
send down upon Him and upon those that love Him all the good Thou didst
ordain in the heaven of Thy will and the Tablet of Thy decree.
Aid them,
then,
with Thy succor,
for Thou art,
verily,
the Almighty,
the Most
Exalted,
the All-Glorious,
the All-Compelling.
All glory be to Thee,
O Lord my God!
I bear witness for Thee to that
whereto Thou Thyself didst bear witness for Thine own Self,
ere the day
Thou hadst created the creation or made mention thereof,
that Thou art
God,
and that there is none other God beside Thee.
From eternity Thou
hast,
in Thy transcendent oneness,
been immeasurably exalted above Thy
servants' conception of Thy unity,
and wilt to eternity remain,
in Thine
unapproachable singleness,
far above the praise of Thy creatures.
No words
that any one beside Thee may utter can ever beseem Thee,
and no man's
description except Thine own description can befit Thy nature.
All who
adore Thy unity have been sore perplexed to fathom the mystery of Thy
oneness,
and all have confessed their powerlessness to attain unto the
comprehension of Thine essence and to scale the pinnacle of Thy knowledge.
The mighty have all acknowledged their weakness,
and the learned
recognized their ignorance.
They that are possessed of influence are as
nothing when compared with the revelations of Thy stupendous sovereignty,
and they who are exalted sink into oblivion when brought before the
manifestations of Thy great glory.
The radiance of the brightest
luminaries is eclipsed by the effulgent splendors of Thy face,
and the
