If thou desirest to be freed from affliction, recite thou
this prayer which hath been revealed by the Pen of the All-Merciful:
“O God, my God! I testify to Thy unity and to Thy oneness. I
beseech Thee, O Thou Possessor of names and Fashioner of the heavens, by the
pervasive influence of Thine exalted Word and the potency of Thy supreme Pen,
to aid me with the ensigns of Thy power and might, and to protect me from the
mischief of Thine enemies who have violated Thy Covenant and Thy Testament.
Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.”
This invocation is an impregnable stronghold and an
indomitable army. It conferreth protection and ensureth deliverance.
- Baha’u’llah (Tablet of the Seven Questions [Lawḥ-i-Haft Pursish], published in
‘The Tabernacle of Unity’)
