Official translation

O ye kind friends and the maidservants of the Merciful: In the great Qur'an God says... ...Be not concerned with the smallness of your numbers, neither be oppressed by the multitude... Praise be to Thee, O my God! These are Thy servants who are attracted by the fragrances... O God, my God! Thou beholdest this weak one begging for celestial strength
