Source (Arabic)
أَيْ رَبِّ فَاجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ جاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِكَ بِأَمْوالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ، ثُمَّ اكْتُبْ لِيْ أَجْرَ هؤلآءِ فِي لَوْحِ قَضائِكَ، ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِيْ مَقْعَدَ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَكَ، ثُمَّ أَلْحِقْنِي بِعِبادِكَ المُخْلِصِينَ،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Cause me, O my Lord, to be of those who, with their substance and their own selves, have fought valiantly in Thy path. Write down, then, for me the recompense Thou didst ordain for them in the Tablet of Thy decree. Stablish me also on the seat of truth in Thy presence, and join me with the sincere among Thy servants.
