Through Shahnaz Khanum
Upon her be Baha’u’l-Abha!
He is God
O my God! O my God! Thou seest these children, branches of the Tree of Life,
birds of the Garden of Safety, pearls of the shells of the ocean of Thy Mercy
and roses of the rose-garden of Thy Guidance.
O Lord! Verily we glorify in Thy praise, sanctify Thee and supplicate to the
Kingdom of Thy Mercifulness to make us candles of guidance, stars of the
horizon of the Eternal Majesty among the creatures; and teach us from Thy
Knowledge, O Glory of the Most Glorious!
