Prayers and Meditations — Paragraph 124

Source (Arabic)

لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنَا العَزِيزُ الحَكِيمُ، أَيْ رَبِّ عَرِّفْهُمْ عَظَمَةَ أَمْرِكَ لِئَلاَّ يَشْتَبِهَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَلْطَنَتُكَ وَاقْتِدارُكَ، فَوَعِزَّتِكَ يا مَحْبُوبَ العالَمِينَ لَوْ عَرَفُوا ما تَكَلَّمُوا بِما لا قَدَّرْتَ لَهُمْ

Translation

Uncover before them, O my Lord, the majesty of Thy Cause, lest they be led to doubt Thy sovereignty and the power of Thy might. I swear by Thy glory, O Thou Who art the Beloved of the worlds! Had they been aware of Thy power they would of a certainty have refused to utter what Thou didst not ordain for them in the heaven of Thy will.
