Lauded be Thy Name, O Lord our God! Thou
art in truth the Knower of things unseen.
Ordain for us such good as Thine all-embracing
knowledge can measure. Thou art the sovereign
Lord, the Almighty, the Best-Beloved.

All praise be unto Thee, O Lord! We shall seek
Thy grace on the appointed Day and shall put our
whole reliance in Thee, Who art our Lord. Glorified
art Thou, O God! Grant us that which is
good and seemly that we may be able to dispense
with everything but Thee. Verily, Thou art the
Lord of all worlds.

O God! Recompense those who endure patiently
in Thy days, and strengthen their hearts to
walk undeviatingly in the path of Truth. Grant
then, O Lord, such goodly gifts as would enable
them to gain admittance into Thy blissful Paradise.
Exalted art Thou, O Lord God. Let Thy heavenly
blessings descend upon homes whose inmates
have believed in Thee. Verily, unsurpassed art
Thou in sending down divine blessings. Send
forth, O God, such hosts as would render Thy
faithful servants victorious. Thou dost fashion
the created things through the power of Thy decree
as Thou pleasest. Thou art in truth the Sovereign,
the Creator, the All-Wise.

Say: God is indeed the Maker of all things. He
giveth sustenance in plenty to whomsoever He
willeth. He is the Creator, the Source of all beings,
the Fashioner, the Almighty, the Maker, the All-Wise.
He is the Bearer of the most excellent titles
throughout the heavens and the earth and whatever
lieth between them. All do His bidding, and
all the dwellers of earth and heaven celebrate His
praise, and unto Him shall all return.
