Guide
Thy servants, O My Lord, unto the court of Thy favor and bounty, and suffer
them not to be deprived of the wonders of Thy grace and of Thy manifold
blessings. For they know not what Thou hast ordained for them by virtue of Thy
mercy that encompasseth the whole of creation. Outwardly, O Lord, they are weak
and helpless; inwardly they are but orphans. Thou art
the All-Bountiful, the Munificent, the Most Exalted, the Most Great. Cast not,
O My God, the fury of Thy wrath upon them, and cause them to tarry until such
time when the wonders of Thy mercy will have been made manifest, that haply
they may return unto Thee, and ask forgiveness of Thee for the things they have
committed against Thee. Verily, Thou art the Forgiving, the All-Merciful.
