Note: After an afternoon prayer during Ramadan 25 years ago, I recited ‘Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani's composition of the Divine Names in verse. I wanted to write a supplication using the Divine Names, but could write only the following. I wanted to write a supplication similar to that of my blessed master. But alas, I have no ability to write in verse and so could not complete it. It is included here, for it is appropriate.

He, the Eternal One

The Absolutely Wise in His decrees,
we are under His decree;
He is the All-Wise, the All-Judge;
His is Earth and the heavens.
The All-Knowing of the secrets and
hidden things in His Kingdom;
He is the All-Powerful, the Self-Subsistent;
His is the Throne and the ground.
The All-Subtle in skills and inscriptions in His artistry;
He is the Creator, the All-Loving;
His is the beauty and the splendor.
The All-Majestic in His manifestations
and acts in His creation;
He is the All-Sovereign, the Most Pure and Holy;
His is the honor and the grandeur.
The Originator of beings;
we are among the inscriptions of His art;
He is the All-Constant, the All-Permanent One;
His is the dominion and permanence.
The Munificent Bestower of favors;
we are among the caravans of His guests;
He is the All-Providing, the All-Sufficer;
His is the praise and glorification.
The All-Beautiful Granter of gifts;
we are among the weavings of His Knowledge;
He is the Creator, the All-Faithful;
His is the generosity and the favoring.
The Hearer of the complaints and
prayers from His creatures;
He is the All-Pitying, the All-Healing;
His is the thanks and the praise.
The Forgiver of the faults and sins of His servants;
He is the Oft-Forgiving, the All-Compassionate;
His is forgiveness and approval.
O my soul. Like my heart weep, cry and say:
"I am mortal, but I do not want the mortal.
I am impotent, so I do not desire the impotent.
I surrendered my spirit to the All-Merciful One,
so I desire none else.
I want only One Who will remain my friend forever.
I am but an insignificant particle,
but I desire an everlasting sun.
I am nothing in essence,
but I wish for the whole of creation."
