Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I testify, and all things testify, that Thou art God, there is no God but Thee, alone with no partner. Thine is the dominion and the kingdom, and Thine the might and the power, and Thine the strength and the sovereignty, and Thine the power and the authority. Thou givest life and causeth death, then causeth death and givest life, and verily Thou art the Ever-Living Who dieth not. In Thy grasp is the kingdom of all things. Thou createst what Thou willest by Thy command. Verily, Thou art powerful over all things. I testify, and all things testify, that in Thy knowledge there is no punishment for those who deny and those among them more severe than what their hands have wrought and their veiling themselves from the commands of the Sovereign of Thy Self-Subsistence, when there appears to them in the hereafter from the fire that which is the fruit thereof.

Therefore, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hasten that whereby Thou shalt gladden the eyes of Thy loved ones, when Thou dost punish Thine enemies with what they deserve through Thy chastisement and vengeance. For were the veil to be lifted from their insight, they would love the punishment of their own souls, for that is what Thou hast loved and been pleased with. And were they to be content with Thy good-pleasure and love what Thou lovest, they would have no recourse save through the annihilation of their souls and the torment of their beings, until no mention of them remaineth on earth. Then shall the tree of Thy love be raised up through the manifestations of Thy power that are possible within it and upon it, and the revelations of Thy glory, and the wondrous signs of Thy Lordship, and the tokens of Thine eternal majesty, and the evidences of Thy holy and eternal sovereignty, and the exaltation of the carpet of Thy mighty oneness, and the inaccessible heights of Thy sovereign unity. For every good thing Thou hast created, Thou hast loved it for that Tree.

Therefore, O my God, send down upon it such bounty as shall through it take vengeance on those who enter not beneath its shade and punish those who believe not in its signs. Verily, Thou art the All-Knowing. Nothing is hidden from Thy knowledge, whether in the heavens or on earth or between them. I swear by Thy might and power and strength and sovereignty and everlasting dominion that I seek refuge from the fire entirely and all that pertaineth thereunto. Therefore preserve me, O my God, from it and from all who oppose the path of Thy love. Verily, Thou art powerful over all things.

O God! Send Thy blessings upon the guides who lead to Thee and the examples that point to Thee, through that which Thou hast encompassed in Thy knowledge. Verily, Thou art witness over all things. Thou aidest whom Thou willest through Thy command and causeth to slip whom Thou desirest through Thy justice. Verily, Thou art powerful over all things.
