Glory be to You, the Establisher of Names, the Possessor of Great Bounties, the Hearer of hearings and voices. And the Distributor (Sa'i') of blessings, victory, and Hennat 1 . The Lord of Lords, the Answerer of prayers, the Gatherer of the scattered things among the separated sects, and the Reviver of the dead.

The Manifest (Az-Zahir) through Names, Attributes, Images, Forms, Decree, and Miracles. And [through] Houses, Stations, Times, Essential Signs, and the Persian Domes. And the Lord of the Mount (Tur) which flew by Power for its Brilliance (Durriyya) 2 .

And the Book which spoke in the Arabic language, and the Lines written in the Muhammadan Tongues.

And [by] the Alawid Image, the Fatirian (Fatiriyya) Mercy, the Hasanid Blessing, the Husaynid Trial (Mihna), and the Hidden Worship 3 .
