Thou hast, verily, revealed Thy
Cause, fulfilled Thy Covenant, and opened wide the door of Thy grace to
all that dwell in heaven and on earth. Blessing and peace, salutation and
glory, rest upon Thy loved ones, whom the changes and chances of the world
have not deterred from turning unto Thee, and who have given their all, in
the hope of obtaining that which is with Thee. Thou art, in truth, the
Ever-Forgiving, the All-Bountiful.
(If anyone choose to recite instead of the long verse these words: "God
testifieth that there is none other God but Him, the Help in Peril, the
Self-Subsisting," it would be sufficient. And likewise, it would suffice
were he, while seated, to choose to recite these words: "I bear witness to
Thy unity and Thy oneness, and that Thou art God, and that there is none
other God beside Thee.")
--Baha'u'llah

Whoso wisheth to recite this prayer, let him stand up and turn unto God,
and, as he standeth in his place, let him gaze to the right and to the
left, as if awaiting the mercy of his Lord, the Most Merciful, the
Compassionate.
