Almighty, the Gracious, the All-Bountiful.
O my God, Thy Trust hath been returned unto Thee. It behooveth Thy grace
and Thy bounty that have compassed Thy dominions on earth and in heaven,
to vouchsafe unto Thy newly welcomed one Thy gifts and Thy bestowals, and
the fruits of the tree of Thy grace! Powerful art Thou to do as Thou
willest, there is none other God but Thee, the Gracious, the Most
Bountiful, the Compassionate, the Bestower, the Pardoner, the Precious,
the All-Knowing.
I testify, O my Lord, that Thou hast enjoined upon men to honor their
guest, and he that hath ascended unto Thee hath verily reached Thee and
attained Thy Presence. Deal with him then according to Thy grace and
bounty! By Thy glory, I know of a certainty that Thou wilt not withhold
Thyself from that which Thou hast commanded Thy servants, nor wilt Thou
deprive him that hath clung to the cord of Thy bounty and hath ascended to
the Dayspring of Thy wealth.
There is none other God but Thee, the One, the Single, the Powerful, the
Omniscient, the Bountiful.
--Baha'u'llah
"O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower..."
O my God! O Thou forgiver of sins, bestower of gifts, dispeller of
afflictions!
Verily, I beseech Thee to forgive the sins of such as have abandoned the
physical garment and have ascended to the spiritual world.
O my Lord! Purify them from trespasses, dispel their sorrows, and change
their darkness into light. Cause them to enter the garden of happiness,
cleanse them with the most pure water, and grant them to behold Thy
splendors on the loftiest mount.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"O my God! O my God! Verily, Thy servant,..."
O my God! O my God! Verily, Thy servant, humble before the majesty of Thy
divine supremacy, lowly at the door of Thy oneness, hath believed in Thee
and in Thy verses, hath testified to Thy word, hath been enkindled with
the fire of Thy love, hath been immersed in the depths of the ocean of Thy
knowledge, hath been attracted by Thy breezes, hath relied upon Thee, hath
turned his face unto Thee, hath offered his supplications to Thee, and
hath been assured of Thy pardon and forgiveness. He hath abandoned this
mortal life and hath flown to the kingdom of immortality, yearning for the
favor of meeting Thee.
O Lord, glorify his station, shelter him under the pavilion of Thy supreme
mercy, cause him to enter Thy glorious paradise, and perpetuate his
existence in Thine exalted rose garden, t
