Glory be to the Lord of Honor and Sublime Authority. Glory be to the Lord of Majesty and Exalted Greatness. Glory be to the Lord of eternal, splendid sovereignty. Glory be to Him Who makes out the footprints of the ant on the stone. Glory be to Him Who knows the exact time and place of the bird dipping down through the air. Glory be to Him Who is like this and no one other than Him is like this.
