Cause him to become a
brilliant lamp, shining out with the light of Thy wisdom in the midst of
Thy people.
Verily, Thou art the Precious, the Ever-Bestowing, the Open of Hand.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"My Lord! My Lord! I praise Thee and I thank..."
My Lord! My Lord! I praise Thee and I thank Thee for that whereby Thou
hast favored Thine humble maidservant, Thy slave beseeching and
supplicating Thee, because Thou hast verily guided her unto Thine obvious
Kingdom and caused her to hear Thine exalted Call in the contingent world
and to behold Thy Signs which prove the appearance of Thy victorious reign
over all things.
O my Lord, I dedicate that which is in my womb unto Thee. Then cause it to
be a praiseworthy child in Thy Kingdom and a fortunate one by Thy favor
and Thy generosity; to develop and to grow up under the charge of Thine
education. Verily, Thou art the Gracious! Verily, Thou art the Lord of
Great Favor!
--'Abdu'l-Baha

Fashioner of every moldering bone! I pray Thee, by Thy Name through which
Thou didst call all mankind unto the horizon of Thy majesty and glory, and
didst guide Thy servants to the court of Thy grace and favors, to number
me with such as have rid themselves from everything except Thyself, and
have set themselves towards Thee, and have not been kept back by such
misfortunes as were decreed by Thee, from turning in the direction of Thy
gifts.
