474 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION Mubahalah prayer of Charagh Din The Prayer [of Charāgh Dīn]¹ O my God! O my God! I bear witness with the sincerity of my heart that You alone are the Creator, the Master and the Provider of the heavens, the earth, and of all else therein. In the heavens, the earth, and every particle besides, Your command alone is valid and in force; and You know the beginning and the end of all, of their inside and their out- side; You hear the prayers of all and provide for their needs; not a particle in the heavens and the earth can move with- out Your command. The Prophets and saints, kings and beggars, angels and devils, indeed, all who exist have been created by You, depend upon You, and seek Your grace and are fearful of Your wrath. Indeed, You alone are the Creator, Master, and God of all the creation that is on earth and in the heavens, that is overt and covert, and that is spiritual and material. There is none except You in the heavens and in the earth or elsewhere who is worthy of being worshipped and trusted or loved. All deities invented by people whether they are idols or spirits, angels or devils, heavenly bodies or terrestrial bodies are all false, and are all Your creation and dependent. None of them is worthy of being worshipped, trusted, or loved. Rather, You are the only God who is, among the heaven and the earth and besides, worthy of worship, trust, and love; who is the Eternal, Everlasting, and Living God. You have no father, no son, no spouse, no courtier, and no adviser or helper. Instead, You alone by Yourself are the Creator of all, their Master and Sovereign Lord, who is the Source of 1. This is a translation of text that Charāgh Dīn, resident of Jammu, wrote with his own hand. A facsimile was made of his handwriting which appears on pages 507-512. [Publisher]
