My God, My Fire And My Light! The Days Which

Sources: Prayers And Meditations

My God, my Fire and my Light! The days which Thou hast named the

Ayyam-i-Ha (the Days of Ha, Intercalary days) in Thy Book have begun, O

Thou Who art the King of names, and the fast which Thy most exalted Pen

hath enjoined unto all who are in the kingdom of Thy creation to observe

is approaching. I entreat Thee, O my Lord, by these days and by all such

as have during that period clung to the cord of Thy commandments, and laid

hold on the handle of Thy precepts, to grant that unto every soul may be

assigned a place within the precincts of Thy court, and a seat at the

revelation of the splendors of the light of Thy countenance.



These, O my Lord, are Thy servants whom no corrupt inclination hath kept

back from what Thou didst send down in Thy Book. They have bowed

themselves before Thy Cause, and received Thy Book with such resolve as is

born of Thee, and observed what Thou hadst prescribed unto them, and

chosen to follow that which had been sent down by Thee.



Thou seest, O my Lord, how they have recognized and confessed whatsoever

Thou hast revealed in Thy Scriptures. Give them to drink, O my Lord, from

the hands of Thy graciousness the waters of Thine eternity. Write down,

then, for them the recompense ordained for him that hath immersed himself

in the ocean of Thy presence, and attained unto the choice wine of Thy

meeting.



I implore Thee, O Thou the King of kings and the Pitier of the

downtrodden, to ordain for them the good of this world and of the world to

come. Write down for them, moreover, what none of Thy creatures hath

discovered, and number them with those who have circled round Thee, and

who move about Thy throne in every world of Thy worlds.



Thou, truly, art the Almighty, the All-Knowing, the All-Informed.
