THE FOUNDATION PRAYER
WHOEVER shows care for the permanence of my foundations and diligence in increasing their revenues, may his deeds be good and accepted in the presence of Almighty God, the Forgiver; may his reward be too great to count; and may he be protected and preserved from the sorrows of this world…”
From the Endowment Deed of Sultan Süleyman the Magnificent…
