A short prayer by Ṣubḥ-i-Azal for nullifying black magic and sorcery
Scan of autograph ms. (private).
Translation by
N. Wahid Azal
I take refuge in God with the name of God and by
God in what God hath willed! Sufficient is God for there is no other god but
God! I take refuge in God, the Lord of the Names and the Attributes! I take
refuge in God, the fashioner of the essences! I take refuge in God, the Lord of
the paradoxical signs! I seek success through God! I seek beneficence from God!
I seek sufficiency in God! I seek the protection of my soul in the
versical-signs of God! I seek victory through God! I seek assistance from God!
I take refuge in God and seek haven for my soul, and what is connected to it,
by the versical-signs of God! I take refuge in God from the bewitching of evil
doers! I take refuge in God from the sorcery of lies! I take refuge in God from
the carnal bodies and the horizons and that which is connected to them of black
sorcery, for verily God shall void and extinguish it, for It is the greatest
Knower by the Covenant-Pact!
