" O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning to Thee. These hearts are radiant with Thy love. These minds and spirits are exhilarated by the message of Thy gladtidings. O God! Let this American democracy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees, and render this just government victorious. Confirm this revered nation to upraise the standard of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to become thereby most glorious and praiseworthy among all the nations of the world. O God! This American nation is worthy of Thy favors and is deserving of Thy mercy. Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and bestowal. _'Abdu'l-Baha
This prayer was revealed by Abdu'l-Baha on the occasion of his visit to the United States of America in 1912; he was travelling from April through December touring North America.
Abdu'l-Baha is the son of Baha'u'lla the profit founder of the Baha'i religion.

Here is what Baha'u'llah said about the Arabic Language "The light of truth is indeed shining resplendent above the horizon of divine utterance, and hence no further elaboration is required from this evanescent soul or from others like unto him. Although there can be no question or doubt as to the sweetness of the Persian tongue, yet it hath not the scope of the Arabic. There are many things which have not been expressed in Persian, that is to say, words referring to such things have not been devised, whilst in Arabic there are several words describing the same thing. Indeed there existeth no language in the world as vast and comprehensive as Arabic. This statement is prompted by truth and fairness; otherwise it is clear that in this day the world is being illumined by the splendours of that Sun which hath dawned above the 54 horizon of Persia, and that the merits of this sweet language can scarcely be overestimated".
الديانة البهائية
هي دين الهي مستقل ، دعا اليه حضرة بهاء الله حيثُ اعلن فى سنة 1863م ببغداد بالعراق، انه صاحب رسالة الهية هدفها وحدة الجنس البشري.
Baha'u'llah declared that he is the Promised One of all Ages in Iraq Bagdad in 1863 and that he is a messenger of God and one of the reason he wrote in Arabic because the people surrounding him believe in Islam and Quran.
