The Departed

O mein Gott! O mein Gott! Wahrlich, Dein Diener, der demütig vor der Majestät Deiner höchsten, göttlichen Gewalt und bescheiden am Tor Deiner Einzigartigkeit steht, hat an Dich und Deine Verse geglaubt. Er hat für Dein Wort gezeugt und war entflammt vom Feuer Deiner Liebe. Tief war er in das Meer Deiner Erkenntnis eingetaucht und angezogen von Deinem Windhauch. Auf Dich hat er sich verlassen, Dir sein Angesicht zugewandt und Dir seine Gebete dargebracht, Deiner Vergebung und Verzeihung gewiss. Nun hat er dieses vergängliche Leben verlassen und sich emporgeschwungen ins Reich der Unsterblichkeit, voll Sehnsucht nach der Gnade, Dir zu begegnen.

O Herr, verherrliche seine Stufe, herberge ihn unter dem Thronzelt Deines höchsten Erbarmens, gewähre ihm Einlass in Dein herrliches Paradies und lass ihn immerdar leben in Deinem erhabenen Rosengarten, eingetaucht in die Welt der Mysterien wie in ein Lichtermeer.

Wahrlich, Du bist der Freigebige, der Gewaltige, der Vergebende und der Schenkende.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá
