Na Bahá’u’lláh

Short Obligatory Prayer

I bear witness, O my God, that Thou

hast created me to know Thee and to

worship Thee. I testify, at this moment,

to my powerlessness and to Thy might,

to my poverty and to Thy wealth.

There is none other God but Thee, the

Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.

— Bahá’u’lláh
