And the rising of His bringing-into-existence flashed in the [Realm of] Absence (Ghayba) and Pre-eternity (Qidam).

So Glory be to the Eternal, the One, the Everlasting, Possessor of Majesty and Honor, and Greatness, and Splendor, and Divinity (Lahutiyya), and Radiance.

The Ultimate Goal of every goal, and the End of every end.

The Originator (Fatir) of the innovated things, the Creator of the invented things, and the Establisher of movements and attributes.

The Lord of the Rising Stations and the Circling Veils.

The Creator of the Heavens and the Illuminator (Sati') of the Expanses (Al-Madhiyyat).

Blessed is He who, by Himself, appeared while veiled, and called His servants to Him openly.

Ancient of times, aeons, epochs, and months.

He guided by His wisdom to His absence from a Station witnessed by it, visible and apparent to all the servants, displaying [Himself].

The one going out and the one coming in sees Him by that. Yet He is not perceived entirely, nor is He [fully] witnessed.
