Likewise, We mention some verses from the Tablet of Her Majesty, the Queen
(Queen Victoria)—may God, exalted and glorified be He, assist her. Our
purpose is that haply the breezes of Revelation may envelop thee, and
cause thee to arise, wholly for the sake of God, and serve His Cause, and
that thou mayest transmit any of the Tablets of the kings which might have
remained undelivered. This mission is a great mission, and this service a
great service. In those regions distinguished divines are numerous, among
whom are those Siyyids who are renowned for their eminence and
distinction. Confer with them, and show them what hath flowed out of the
Pen of Glory, that haply they may be graciously aided to better the
condition of the world, and improve the character of peoples of different
nations, and may, through the living waters of God’s counsels, quench the
hatred and the animosity which lie hid and smolder in the hearts of men.
We pray God that thou mayest be assisted therein. And this, verily, would
not be hard for Him.
"O Queen in London! Incline thine ear unto the voice of thy Lord, the Lord
of all mankind, calling from the Divine Lote-Tree: Verily, no God is there
but Me, the Almighty, the All-Wise! Cast away all that is on earth, and
attire the head of thy kingdom with the crown of the remembrance of Thy
Lord, the All-Glorious. He, in truth, hath come unto the world in His most
great glory, and all that hath been mentioned in the Gospel hath been
fulfilled. The land of Syria hath been honored by the footsteps of its
Lord, the Lord of all men, and North and South are both inebriated with
the wine of His presence. Blessed is the man that hath inhaled the
fragrance of the Most Merciful, and turned unto the Dawning-Place of His
beauty, in this resplendent Dawn. The Mosque of Aqsá vibrateth through the
breezes of its Lord, the All-Glorious, whilst Bathá (Mecca) trembleth at
the voice of God, the Exalted, the Most High. Every single stone of them
celebrateth the praise of the Lord, through this Great Name."
