I praise Him, I believe in Him, I worship Him, and through Him I seek aid. I bear witness that there is no god but He, the Creator of the part and the whole, the Sublime, the Magnificent, the Prince of the Believers. And I bear witness that Muhammad is the manifestation of His Name—the Ancient One, whom every insightful and knowing person has fallen short of knowing. That is Allah, the Mighty, the Wise; whoever knows Him has been guided to a straight path.

May the blessings of our Lord, the Sublime, the Magnificent, be upon this Majestic Name and upon His noble Gate (Bab), whom the Eternal Creator brought forth from His Muhammadan Name and His luminous body. Thus, he is the ancient of the created beings and the beginning of the emergence of the luminous ones: Rozebah the Persian, the Khosrawi Exemplar in the Kisrawi Era. And [blessings be] upon his Orphans (Aytam), the people of perfection and the lamps in the darkness, and upon those who follow them of the noble luminous ranks, and those who followed them from the nearest of the near to the last rank of the followers (Lahiqin)—a pure prayer until the Day of Judgment.

And may we receive of their blessings and their sincere prayers that which connects us to the Reality (Haqiqa) and steadies us upon the path of the Method (Tariqa), by His success and mercy. Indeed, He is Generous, Kind, Sublime, and Magnificent, and through Him we seek aid.
