I bear witness to Thy unity and Thy oneness, and that Thou
art God, and that there is none other God beside Thee. Thou hast, verily,
revealed Thy Cause, fulfilled Thy Covenant, and opened wide the door of Thy
grace to all that dwell in heaven and on earth. Blessing and peace, salutation
and glory, rest upon Thy loved ones, whom the changes and chances of the world
have not deterred from turning unto Thee, and who have given their all, in the
hope of obtaining that which is with Thee. Thou art, in truth, the
Ever-Forgiving, the All-Bountiful.
- Baha’u’llah (Excerpt from the Medium Obligatory Prayer)
O Thou Who art the Lord of all names and the Maker of the
heavens! I beseech Thee by them Who are the Daysprings of Thine invisible
Essence, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, to make of my prayer a fire that
will burn away the veils which have shut me out from Thy beauty, and a light
that will lead me unto the ocean of Thy Presence.
