Selections From the Writings of the Báb
Bab, ʻAli Muhammad Shirazi
Babism; Bahai Faith
Lauded be Thy Name, O God. Thou art in truth our Lord; Thou art aware of
whatsoever is in the heavens and on the earth. Send down then upon us a
token of Thy mercy. Verily Thou art unsurpassed among them that show
mercy. All praise be unto Thee, O Lord. Ordain for us from Thy presence
that which will comfort the hearts of the sincere among Thy servants.
Glorified art Thou, O God, Thou art the Creator of the heavens and the
earth and that which lieth between them. Thou art the sovereign Lord, the
Most Holy, the Almighty, the All-Wise. Magnified be Thy Name, O God, send
down upon them who have believed in God and in His signs a mighty succour
from Thy presence such as to enable them to prevail over the generality of
mankind.
“Glory be unto Thee, O God. How can I make mention ...”
Glory be unto Thee, O God. How can I make mention of Thee while Thou art
sanctified from the praise of all mankind. Magnified be Thy Name, O God,
Thou art the King, the Eternal Truth; Thou knowest what is in the heavens
and on the earth, and unto Thee must all return. Thou hast sent down Thy
divinely-ordained Revelation according to a clear measure. Praised art
Thou, O Lord! At Thy behest Thou dost render victorious whomsoever Thou
willest, through the hosts of heaven and earth and whatsoever existeth
between them. Thou art the Sovereign, the Eternal Truth, the Lord of
invincible might.
Glorified art Thou, O Lord, Thou forgivest at all times the sins of such
among Thy servants as implore Thy pardon. Wash away my sins and the sins
of those who seek Thy forgiveness at dawn, who pray to Thee in the
day-time and in the night season, who yearn after naught save God, who
offer up whatsoever God hath graciously bestowed upon them, who celebrate
Thy praise at morn and eventide, and who are not remiss in their duties.
“Praise be unto Thee, O Lord. Forgive us our sins, have ...”
Praise be unto Thee, O Lord. Forgive us our sins, have mercy upon us and
enable us to return unto Thee. Suffer us not to rely on aught else besides
Thee, and vouchsafe unto us, through Thy bounty, that which Thou lovest
and desirest and well beseemeth Thee. Exalt the station of them that have
truly believed and forgive them with Thy gracious forgiveness. Verily Thou
art the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
“O God our Lord! Protect us through Thy grace from ...”
O God our Lord! Protect us through Thy grace from whatsoever may be
repugnant unto Thee and vouchsafe unto us that which well beseemeth Thee.
Give us more out of Thy bounty and bless us. Pardon us for the things we
have done and wash away our sins and forgive us with Thy gracious
forgiveness. Verily Thou art the Most Exalted, the Self-Subsisting.
