Deliver them from the depths of war and bloodshed, and free them from the darkness of error. Remove the veil from their eyes, and enlighten their hearts with the light of guidance. Treat them with Thy tender mercy and compassion, and deal not with them according to Thy justice and wrath which cause the limbs of the mighty to quake. Wars have persisted. Distress and anxiety have waxed great, and every flourishing region is laid waste.
Hearts are heavy, and souls are in anguish.
Have mercy on these poor souls, and do not leave them to the excesses of their own desires. Make manifest in Thy lands humble and submissive souls, their faces illumined with the rays of guidance, severed from the world, extolling Thy Name, uttering Thy praise, and diffusing the fragrance of Thy holiness amongst mankind. Strengthen their backs, gird up their loins, and enrapture their hearts with the most mighty signs of Thy love. The ocean of rebellion is surging, and these tempests will not be stilled save through Thy boundless grace which hath embraced all regions. Verily, the people are in the abyss of passion, and naught can save them but Thine infinite bounties.
