Praised be Thou, O my God! Thou seest how Thy righteous servants have
fallen into the hands of the wicked doers, who have disbelieved in Thy
name, the Unconstrained, and denied Thy majesty, and Thine unrestrained
authority, and Thy strength, and Thy sovereign might. Their mouths utter
what the mouths of the Jews uttered aforetime.
Put forth, therefore, out of the bosom of Thy glory, O my Lord, the hand
of Thine omnipotence, and through it assist Thou Thy loved ones who,
though sore-tried in Thy path with such trials as have caused the inmates
of the kingdom of Thy Cause to groan, were not deterred from turning
towards the horizon of Thy Revelation.
Set, then, the seal of Thine unerring protection on their hearts, O my
Lord, lest perchance the remembrance of aught else except Thee enter
therein. Make them able, moreover, to proclaim Thy name amidst Thy
creatures, and supply them with the best of what Thou hast destined for
such of Thy chosen ones as enjoy near access to Thee.
Potent art Thou to do Thy pleasure. Thou truly art the All-Glorious, to
whom all cry for help.
