Glory be to Thee, O God! Thou art the God Who hath existed
before all things, Who will exist after all things and will last beyond all
things. Thou art the God Who knoweth all things, and is supreme over all things.
Thou art the God Who dealeth mercifully with all things, Who judgeth between
all things and Whose vision embraceth all things. Thou art God my Lord, Thou
art aware of my position, Thou dost witness my inner and outer being.
Grant Thy forgiveness unto me and unto the believers who
responded to Thy Call. Be Thou my sufficing helper against the mischief of
whosoever may desire to inflict sorrow upon me or wish me ill. Verily Thou art
the Lord of all created things. Thou dost suffice everyone, while no one can be
self-sufficient without Thee.
