Verily Thou art the highest aspiration of every earnest
seeker and the Goal of the desire of them that yearn after Thee. Thou art He
Who is ready to answer the call of such as recognize Thy divine unity, and He
before Whom the faint-hearted stand in awe. Thou art the Helper of the needy,
the Deliverer of the captives, the Abaser of the oppressors, the Destroyer of
the wrong-doers, the God of all men, the Lord of all created things. Thine are
the kingdoms of Creation and Revelation, O Thou Who art the Lord of all the
worlds….
Whomsoever Thou dost suffice shall not be put to grief; whomsoever
Thou dost protect shall never perish; whomsoever Thou dost help shall never be
abased; and he unto whom Thou turnest Thy gaze shall never be far removed from
Thee.
Write down for us then whatsoever is of Thee, and forgive us
for what we are. Verily Thou art the Lord of power and glory, the Lord of all
the worlds. ‘Far be the glory of Thy Lord, the Lord of all greatness, from what
they impute to Him, and peace be upon His Apostles, and
praise be unto God, the Lord of all the worlds.’ [Qur’án 37:180–182]
