Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ قَدِّرْ لَهُمْ ما يَنْفَعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نَوِّرْ أَبْصارَهُمْ بِنُورِ مَعْرِفَتِكَ لِيَرَوْكَ ظاهِرًا فَوْقَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَمُشْرِقًا بَيْنَ خَلْقِكَ وَغالِبًا عَلَى مَنْ فِيْ سَمائِكَ وَأَرْضِكَ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ المُقْتَدِرُ عَلَى ما تَشآءُ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ العَزِيزُ المُسْتَعانُ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Do Thou destine for them, O my Lord, that which will profit them. Illumine, then, their eyes with the light of Thy knowledge, that they may see Thee visibly supreme over all things, and resplendent amidst Thy creatures, and victorious over all that are in Thy heaven and all that are on Thy earth. Powerful art Thou to do Thy pleasure. No God is there but Thee, the All-Glorious, Whose help is implored by all men.
