and
how many times were commotions stirred up against Me at the hand of the
people, while Thou didst cause them to subside through Thy tender mercy.
How numerous the occasions when the Nimrods kindled fires wherewith to
burn Me, but Thou didst make them balm for Me; and how manifold the
instances when the infidels decreed My humiliation and Thou didst turn
them into marks of honour for Me...

Verily Thou art the highest aspiration of every earnest seeker and the
Goal of the desire of them that yearn after Thee. Thou art He Who is ready
to answer the call of such as recognize Thy divine unity, and He before
Whom the faint-hearted stand in awe. Thou art the Helper of the needy, the
Deliverer of the captives, the Abaser of the oppressors, the Destroyer of
the wrong-doers, the God of all men, the Lord of all created things. Thine
are the kingdoms of Creation and Revelation, O Thou Who art the Lord of
all the worlds.

O All-Sufficient One! Thou dost suffice Me in every hardship that may
descend upon Me and in every affliction that may wax great before Me. Thou
art My sole Companion in My loneliness, the Delight of My heart in My
solitude and My Best Beloved in My prison and in My Abode. No God is there
but Thee!

Whomsoever Thou dost suffice shall not be put to grief; whomsoever Thou
dost protect shall never perish; whomsoever Thou dost help shall never be
abased; and he unto whom Thou turnest Thy gaze shall never be far removed
from Thee.

Write down for us then whatsoever is of Thee, and forgive us for what we
are. Verily Thou art the Lord of power and glory, the Lord of all the
worlds. 'Far be the glory of Thy Lord, the Lord of all greatness, from
what they impute to Him, and peace be upon His Apostles, and praise be
unto God, the Lord of all the worlds.'(78)

"Glory be to Thee, O God! Thou art the God Who hath ..."

Glory be to Thee, O God! Thou art the God Who hath existed before all
things, Who will exist after all things and will last beyond all things.
Thou art the God Who knoweth all things, and is supreme over all things.
Thou art the God Who dealeth mercifully with all things, Who judgeth
between all things and Whose vision embraceth all things. Thou art God my
Lord, Thou art aware of my position, Thou dost witness my inner and outer
being.

Grant Thy forgiveness unto me and unto the believers who responded to Thy
Call. Be Thou my sufficing helper against the mischief of whosoever may
desire to in
