and the announcer of His Oneness (Aḥadiyya). It is the Sīn of His secret, issuing from the Mīm of His command—a testimony cleared of doubt and suspicion, stored with Him for the Day of Presentation and Reckoning.

I ask the Primordial Meaning (al-Ma‘nā al-Qadīm) to bestow blessings upon the Great Veil (al-Ḥijāb al-‘Aẓīm) and the Generous Gate (al-Bāb al-Karīm), and to pour from their blessings upon the Solitary Alif (al-Alif al-Yatīm) and the four who follow him. May these blessings be continuous upon the Captains (al-Nuqabā’), the Nobles (al-Nujabā’), the Specially Chosen, the Sincere, and the Tested ones—linking the secrets of the Believers to the Successors (al-Lāḥiqīn), and joining the Successors to the Listeners (al-Mustami‘īn), the Listeners to the Wayfarers (al-Sā’iḥīn), the Wayfarers to the Sanctified, the Sanctified to the Spirituals (al-Rūḥāniyyīn), the Spirituals to the Cherubim (al-Kurūbiyyīn), and the Cherubim to those Brought Near (al-Muqarrabīn).

May He grant an abundant share of their surplus blessings and supererogatory prayers to the one through whose hands God flowed His grace unto me; and may God make me a proof for him,
