O God,
Thou hast tried us with
distrust
in our provisions
and
the expectation of long lives,
until we begged for provisions
from
those who are provided
and craved in our expectations
the
life-spans of the long-lived! |
| 2 |
So bless Muhammad and his Household,
give us a true certainty
that
will suffice us the burden of seeking,
and inspire us with a sincere
trust
that
will release us from the hardship of exertion! |
| 3 |
Let Thy clear promise in Thy Revelation
which
Thou hast followed in Thy Book with Thy oath
cut off our worry
about
the provision for which
Thou
hast made Thyself responsible
and sever our occupation
with
everything
whose
sufficiency Thou hast guaranteed! |
| 4 |
For Thou hast said
-
and Thy word is the most truthful truth -
and Thou hast sworn
-
and Thy oath is the most kept and fulfilled -
In the heaven are your
provision and everything you are promised! |
| 5 |
And then Thou hast said,
So by the Lord of heaven and
earth,
it
is as surely true as that you have speech!126
