In the name of Allah (Who"s) the
Compassionate Merciful
1. “Praise belongs to Allah, Who is Sublime in His Oneness, and He is with all
beings in His Loneliness. Glorious is He in His Domination, and He is great in
His Foundations! His Knowledge encircles all beings without taking a move or
having a dwelling; He subdues everything with His Power and Reasoning! He has
eternally been praised, and so will be praised forever! There is no end to His
Greatness, Dignity and Grandness; He is the Originator, Resurrector, and to Him
all things return.
2. He is the Maker of the heavens, as well the expander of
the Earth(es), and He is Ruler over them; He is [beyond all beings], and He is
Glorified and Sanctified. So is He the Lord of the Angels, and the Spirit! He
favours all creatures that He has created! His Grace is expanded to all that He
has created. He perceives the eyes [of all beings], while no eyes can see Him;
He is the most Generous, Patient and Calm. His Mercy cuddles the whole entity;
He favours them with His Bounty. He is Serene in His revenge, and is Patient to
the pain-deserved!
3. He is Aware of the secrets, and is discerned of thoughts, the covered are
discovered to Him, and the hidden manifest. It is His to hold everything, and
dominate it. The Source of strength is He, and is Powerful over everything.
There is no comparable unto Him.
It is He Who has created things out of absolute "Nil". He is Immortal, Alive,
and is the Spreader of Justice; there is no deity but Him, the Wise Almighty.
4. No eyes can see Him but he perceives all eyes; He is aware of the secrets [of
men], and is informed of all things. No one can attribute Him by means of
seeing, and no one can appreciate His Being by His concealment or manifestation,
but only what the "Glorified" wills us to know.
5. I testify that He is Alone ‘God’, the One Whose Sanctity has filled up the
whole world; and His Light has prevailed the Eternity! Without any counselor He
enacts His proper Command, and has no ally in His Providence; and without aid,
He does His plans and measures.
6. Without an initial plan for creation, He
has shaped and fashioned all beings with help of no one – with no effort, not
thinking about, and without having had recourse, He has brought the world to
being from ‘Nil’, His will has brought them to existence.
Thus, He is God, the Almighty; there is none as a deity but Him! It is He Whose
Artistry is solid and firm, and [the Structure of His] Work is fair! He is Just;
He does not commit oppression, and He is so generous that to Him return all
things.
7. And I testify that He is God that all beings humble before His Dignity, and
all are debased before His Glory; everything bows as submission before His
Power, and all things are in state of humility before His tremendous and
impressive Majesty!
8. He is the King of all beings, and the roller of the
encircling heavens, He submits the sun and the moon to His bid to move just
according to a time limit. He rolls up the night in the day; moreover, He wraps
up the day into night which each goes rapidly: one after other, (The Heights:
7/54). He is the destroyer of any oppressive tyrant, and the eliminator of the
rebellious, insurgent demon!
9. There is neither an opponent for Him, nor is anyone equal to Him. He is the
One Who needs none! He is not born, and He has not given birth to anyone, there
is nothing comparable unto Him; (The Sincerity: 112). He is the Unique God, and
the Glorious Lord. He wills, and carries out! He intends, and ordains, He is
All-Knowing, and thus, He calculates [things]. He gives life and sends death. He
impoverishes [one] and enriches [another], He sends mirth or makes one cry; He
draws closer or moves away; He forbids [one] then grants! To Him belongs the
Sovereignty, and to Him go all praises and lauds! And He is Capable of [doing]
everything.
10. He merges the night into the daylight, and the daylight into
the nigh. There is no God but Him, Who is Glorious and Forgiving. He answers the
appeals and fulfills prayers, grants abundantly and counts the numbers of
breaths; He is the Lord of Jinn and Mankind, nothing is baffling to Him.
The cries of the criers do not distress Him, nor does the insistence of those
who insist, bother Him! He is the Guardian of the pious, and the Assistant of
the righteous; the Guardian of the believers, and the Lord of the universe! He
deserves to be praised and glorified by all those have been created.
11. I greatly thank, and eternally praise Him: not only in tranquility or in
hardship, nor in extreme difficulty, but also in peace and serenity. I believe
in Him and His Angels, in His ures, and His Messengers! I heed His
Commands and obey Him. I hasten to do whatever pleases Him, and I submit myself
to His Command for I am inclined to obey Him, and I fear His chastisement. For
indeed: He is such a God that no one remains safe from His Astuteness; and no
one fears His Injustice – (for there comes no injustice from Him)!”
