بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم. الحمد لله الذی تقدس بقدس کینونیته عن عرفان اعلی مجردات اللاهوت و من یشا... الحمد لله الذی یمن فی الکتاب علی الذین آمنوا

Provisional translation

Praise be to God Who, through the sanctity of His Essence, transcendeth the comprehension of the most sublime abstractions of divinity and whatsoever... Praise be to God Who bestoweth grace in the Book upon them that have believed [3.5s]... ...For verily each name hath infinite degrees, and the meaning of each thing that is named pertaineth to its own degree
