الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ بَدَائِعَهُ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ مَلَكَ الْأُمُورَ بِعِزَّتِهِ وَ عَدَلَ فَلَا يَجُورُ وَ أَنْصَفَ فَلَا يَحِيفُ
“Praise be to God, Who created His New Phenomenon by His Power, Ruled the affairs with His Might, Did Justice without oppression, was Fair and did not incline away from fairness.
وَ كَيْفَ يَجُورُ وَ يَحِيفُ عَلَى مَنْ سَمَّاهُ بِالضَّعْفِ وَ قَرَعَهُ بِالْفَقْرِ وَ نَبَّهَهُ عَلَى الْغِنَاءِ الْأَكْبَرِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِهِ وَ دَعَاهُ إِلَى الْحَظِّ الْأَوْفَرِ مِنْ غُفْرَانِهِ وَ أَشْرَعَ لَهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ السَّبِيلَ وَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَلِجَهَا بِصَالِحِ الْعَمَلِ
How could He oppress or be unfair to one whom He has called weak and poor, and has made him aware of his greatest need being His Pleasure, and has invited to enjoy the most from His Forgiveness, has paved the way to walk on this Path and has ordered us to do so with good deeds?
لَمْ يُتَّهَمْ بِالشَّقْوَةِ مَنْ أَمَرَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ بِالْجَوْرِ عَلَى الْعَبِيدِ بَلْ أَوْجَبَ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى فَاسِقِهِمْ وَ الثَّوَابَ لِمَنْ نَهَاهُمْ
No. He cannot be accused of tyranny since He has ordered to have mercy, promised the servants punishment for oppression, chastisement for committing sins and reward for those who admonish against it.
مَنْ هُوَ أَشْفَقُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أُمِّ الْفُرُوخِ عَلَى فَرْخِهَا تَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يَقُولُ الظَّالِمُونَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً
He is even kinder to them than a bird is to its newborns! God is Sublime and indeed He is exalted above what the evil-doers say! „Exalted and Great (beyond measure)!‟1
سُبْحَانَ مَنْ صَوَّمَنِي عَنِ الطَّعَامِ وَ الشَّرَابِ وَ مَنْ فَرَقُهُ بِمَا يُوَرِّطُنِي فِي أَلِيمِ الْعَذَابِ فيخلصني [يُخَلِّصُنِي] مِنَ الْعِقَابِ بِصِيَامٍ واجب [أَوْجَبَ] لِيَ الثَّوَابَ بِصِيَامٍ لَهُ
Glory be to Him who made me fast by abstaining from food and drinks so that He may save me from the march of painful torture and released me from Chastisement with the reward He granted me for the obligatory fast.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى أَنْ هَدَانِي وَ عَافَانِي وَ كَفَانِي كَمَا يَسْتَحِقُّ الْجَوَادُ الْكَرِيمُ
Praise be to God who guided me, gave me well-being and took care of me as it best fits the Generous – the Benevolent.
يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ [وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ] صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً.
O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful. Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (MGB) – the Immaculate, the pure ones and may His peace be on them plentifully.”
