Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I beseech Thee by Thy Name, the
Restrainer, to withhold from us the maleficence of Thine adversaries who
have disbelieved in Thy testimony, and caviled at Thy beauty. Overpower by
Thy Name, the All-Subduing, such as have wronged Thy Previous
Manifestation Who hath now appeared invested with Thy title, the
All-Glorious. Lay hold, by Thy name, the Chastiser, on them that have
treated Thy Cause with scorn, have jested at Thy most mighty utterances,
and were hindered from attaining this most exalted station. Enable Thy
loved ones, by Thy Name, the Victorious, to prevail against Thine enemies
and the infidels among Thy creatures. Rend asunder, by Thy Name, the
Cleaver, the veil that hideth the doings of them that have besmirched
Thine honor and undermined Thy Faith among Thy people. Bind, by Thy Name,
the Restorer, the broken hearts of them that love Thee, and graciously
bless them in their affairs. Teach them, by Thy Name, the All-Knowing, the
wonders of Thy wisdom, that they may cleave steadfastly to Thy Faith and
walk in the ways of Thy pleasure. Keep them safe, by Thy Name, the
Withholder, from the tyranny of the oppressor and the wickedness of the
evil-doers and the malice of the stirrers of mischief. Shield them, by Thy
Name, the Preserver, within the stronghold of Thy might and power, that
haply they may be protected from the darts of doubt that are hurled by
such as have rebelled against Thee. Sanctify for Thy servants, by Thy Name
which Thou hast blessed above all other names, which Thou hast singled out
for Thy favor, and by which Thou didst reveal Thy beauty, these days of
which the Pen of Thy decree hath distinctly written, and which, according
to Thy will and wisdom, have been preordained in Thine irrevocable Tablet.
Subject to Thy rule, by Thy Name, the Conqueror, the people of Thy realm,
that all may turn towards Thy face and forsake their all for love of Thee
and for the sake of Thy pleasure.
Abase Thou, O my Lord, Thine enemies, and lay hold on them with Thy power
and might, and let them be stricken by the blast of Thy wrath. Make them
taste, O my God, of Thine awful majesty and vengeance, for they have
repudiated the truth of the One in Whom they had believed, Who came unto
them with Thy signs and Thy clear tokens and the evidences of Thy power
and the manifold revelations of Thy might. Gather, then, together Thy
loved ones beneath the shadow of the Tree of Thy oneness, and of the
Manifestation of the effulgent light of Thy unity.
Thou art, verily, the One Whose power is immense, Whose vengeance is
terrible. No God is there beside Thee, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.
