House of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad after restoration in early 1930's |
I beseech Thee, O my God, by this House [Baha’u’llah’s House
in Baghdad] that hath suffered such change in its separation from Thee, that
bewaileth its remoteness from Thy presence, and lamenteth Thy tribulation, to
forgive me, and my parents, and my kindred, and such of my brethren as have
believed in Thee. Grant that all my needs be satisfied, through Thy bounty, O
Thou Who art the King of Names. Thou art the most Bountiful of the bountiful,
the Lord of all worlds.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
