Chapter One: The Opening to Her Wisdom Noor-un-nisa Gretasdottir

Painting by Laila Shawa

In the Name of the Beloved One
She Who Is Entirely Compassionate
She Who Is Infinite in Her Mercy
All Praise is due to Allah Alone,
the One who Sustains the Universe
Entirely Compassionate, Infinitely Merciful
The One to Whom all return on the Final Day
You Alone we worship and You Alone we ask for help.
Guide us to Your Way
The Path of those illuminated by the desire for Your Grace and Guidance,
not the path of those who are lost and who choose to go astray.
