eave 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 'Ali-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.

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 Bayan
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
