Sanctified and exalted above all praise is the Lord of the worlds... O Muhammad, the Countenance of the Ancient One hath turned toward thee and maketh mention of thee [3.5s]... ...This is the Day in which God's most excellent favors have been poured out upon men, the Day in which His most mighty grace hath been infused into all created things
