Thee naught else except Thyself. Thou art the sole Desire of the
heart of him whose thoughts are fixed on Thee, and the highest Aspiration
of whosoever is wholly devoted unto Thee.

No God is there beside Thee, the Almighty, the Help in Peril, the
All-Glorious, the Most Powerful.

LXXI: "MAGNIFIED BE THY NAME, O MY GOD, FOR THAT THOU..."

Magnified be Thy name, O my God, for that Thou hast manifested the Day
which is the King of Days, the Day which Thou didst announce unto Thy
chosen Ones and Thy Prophets in Thy most excellent Tablets, the Day
whereon Thou didst shed the splendor of the glory of all Thy names upon
all created things. Great is his blessedness whosoever hath set himself
towards Thee, and entered Thy presence, and caught the accents of Thy
voice.

I beseech Thee, O my Lord, by the name of Him round Whom circleth in

of keeping them back from Thee.

Lauded be Thy name, O Thou in Whose hands is the kingdom of all names, and
in the grasp of Whose might are all that are in heaven and all that are on
earth! I entreat Thee, by Him Who is Thy Most Effulgent Name Whom Thou
hast made a target for the darts of Thy decree in Thy path, O Thou the
King of eternity, to rend asunder the veils that have shut off Thy
creatures from the horizon of Thy glory, that haply they may turn their
faces in the direction of Thy mercy, and draw nigh unto the Day-Spring of
Thy loving-kindness.

Leave not Thy servants to themselves, O my Lord! Draw them through the
influence of Thine utterances unto the D
