Ḥizb al-Luṭf

حزب اللطف

Clause 18 of 46 · Gentleness that reaches everything

إِلٰهَنَا اللُّطْفُ صُنْعُكَ وَالْأَلْطَافُ خَلْقُكَ وَتَنْفِيذُ حُكْمِكَ فِي خَلْقِكَ حَقُّكَ وَرَأْفَةُ لُطْفِكَ بِالْمَخْلُوقِينَ تَمْنَعُ اسْتِقْصَاءَ حَقِّكَ فِي الْعَالَمِينَ

Our God, gentleness is Your making and gentle favours are Your creation. To carry out Your rule among Your creatures is Your right; but the tenderness of Your gentleness towards them keeps You from exacting Your full right among the worlds.

Ilāhanā al-luṭfu ṣunʿuka wa-l-alṭāfu khalquka wa-tanfīdhu ḥukmika fī khalqika ḥaqquka wa-raʾfatu luṭfika bi-l-makhlūqīna tamnaʿu stiqṣāʾa ḥaqqika fī l-ʿālamīn

    Read «صنعك» (ṣunʿuka, Your making) as the letters stand; the word is small and could hide a tāʾ (ṣanʿatuka, Your craft). The sense is the same.
