He is the All- Glorious!
Praise be to Thee, O Lord! O my God! Out of Thy Bounty and
Mercy, Thou hast caused the waters of existence to descend from the heaven of
Thy Oneness and Thou hast caused the showers of Thine Eternal Bounties to rain
down from the clouds of the heaven of Thy Mighty Oneness until, through this most
mighty Beneficence, the rivers of Thy most wondrous Grace flowed forth upon the
soil of all possible existent realities in Thine act of Creation. All lands and
regions were watered by these streaming, heavenly rivers. Every hill and city
was inundated by these torrential celestial floods. And then there shone forth
upon them the sun of Thy Mercy from the horizon of Thy holy Might. And the
grains, O my God, of Thine Exalted Word and Thy Most Mighty Verses were sown in
the earth of human capacity by Thy great Grace and Favour.
