Lauded be Thy Name, O God. Thou art in truth our Lord; Thou
art aware of whatsoever is in the heavens and on the earth. Send down then upon
us a token of Thy mercy. Verily Thou art unsurpassed among them that show
mercy. All praise be unto Thee, O Lord. Ordain for us from Thy presence that
which will comfort the hearts of the sincere among Thy servants. Glorified art
Thou, O God, Thou art the Creator of the heavens and the earth and that which
lieth between them. Thou art the sovereign Lord, the Most Holy, the Almighty,
the All-Wise. Magnified be Thy Name, O God, send down upon them who have
believed in God and in His signs a mighty succour from Thy presence such as to
enable them to prevail over the generality of mankind.
