Praise be to Thee, O my God! These are Thy servants who are
attracted by the fragrances of Thy mercifulness, are enkindled by the fire
burning in the tree of Thy singleness, and whose eyes are brightened by
beholding the splendors of the light shining in the Sinai of Thy oneness.
O Lord! Loose their tongues to make mention of Thee amongst
Thy people, suffer them to speak forth Thy praise through Thy grace and
loving-kindness, assist them with the cohorts of Thine angels, strengthen their
loins in Thy service, and make them the signs of Thy guidance amongst Thy
creatures.
Verily, Thou art the All-Powerful, the Most Exalted, the
Ever-Forgiving, the All-Merciful.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of the Divine Plan’)
