In the Name of God, the One, the Single, the Unique, the Self-Subsisting.

Blessed be He Whose is the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them. Say: All worship Him.

Blessed be He Whose is the primal creation of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them. Say: All are devoutly obedient unto Him.

Blessed be He Whose is the judgment of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them. Say: All are submissive unto Him.

Blessed be He Whose is the might of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them. Say: All are humbled before Him.

Blessed be He Whose is the light of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them. Say: All are illumined by His light.

Blessed be He Whose is the grandeur in the kingdom of command and creation and whatsoever lieth between them. Say: By Him do all prevail.

Blessed be He Whose is the power in the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them. Say: Unto Him shall all return.

Blessed be He Whom the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them glorify. Say: Unto Him shall all be raised up.

Blessed be He unto Whom bow down all that are in the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them, and unto Whom all shall return.

Blessed be He in Whose grasp is the kingdom of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them, and unto Whom all shall be brought for presentation.

Blessed be He Whose is the bounty of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them, and of Whose bounty all ask.

Blessed be He Whose is the dominion of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them, and unto what is with God all are longing.

Blessed be He Whose is the realm of power of the heavens and the earth and whatsoever lieth between them; and for His sake do all endure. Say: All give thanks unto Him; all glorify Him; all expend, from His bounty, what God hath ordained for them—yet they love it not.

Blessed be He Who created all things by His command: “Be,” and it is. Say: Verily We are able to do all things. Say: Verily We abide over all things. Say: Verily We give thanks for all things. Say: Verily We have knowledge of all things. Say: Verily We have been made manifest unto you; and We have been made powerful over you; and We have been made your Preserver; and We have been made your Victorious.

Say: By His command He bringeth forth, at every moment, what He willeth—“Be,” and it is. And God will create the Paradise with such things as no one’s knowledge can compass, for him who reciteth the verses of God at every moment. None can recite a single verse by innate capacity save him who hath sent down the Bayan in truth, wherein all things have been set forth, by God’s leave, until the Day whereon ye shall be brought before God. That is the Day of Truth. On that Day we all will believe in whatsoever the Tree of the First hath caused to be recited.

Therefore must ye put your trust in God in all things, before every moment and after every moment. God hath commanded the prayer for those who believe in God and His verses with certitude. These are the bounds of God, set forth in the Bayan, and all shall be questioned concerning them.

Say: Prayer is only for such hearts as have turned wholly towards Him—those who are the witnesses of God among men; these indeed, by God’s leave, shall cause God’s judgment to be established. God willeth to lighten your burden by what He hath decreed from His presence; verily He is subtle, all-hearing. And God will surely be well pleased with you; verily He hath power over all things.
