Thy precious and beloved letter came to hand and all contents noted. Consider how the bounty of God hath surrounded thee until it brought thee to the shore of the sea of the endless and boundless gift of God! I supplicate the benevolence of God and His providence to make thee a dazzling light and a merciful and bounteous gift to His creatures; and to enable thee to be firm and steadfast in the Cause of the Truth and to appoint thee as a means for the exaltation of His Word. “O thou confirmed by an inspiration from the Kingdom!...” O thou confirmed by an inspiration from the Kingdom! Blessed thou art, for thou hast delivered the Word of thy Lord to ........, the maid-servant of God! Glad-tidings unto thee for that by reason of which the spring of knowledge hath flowed out in the garden of thy heart, inundated thy tongue and made thee utter the name of thy Lord and call the people to the Kingdom of thy God! I supplicate God, my Lord and thy Lord, to illumine thy forehead with the light of success and victory, strengthen thy spirit by the breath of god, quicken thee by the spirit of God and make thee a pillar of guidance set up in the firmament of the Kingdom of God. Grieve not because of my imprisonment and calamity; for this prison is my beautiful garden, my mansioned paradise and my throne of dominion among mankind. My calamity in my prison is a crown to me in which I glory among the righteous. Thou shalt hear greater than this. I ask God to assist whosoever is related to thee to receive guidance in the future days, and to bless Mrs. and Miss ........, Miss ........ and Miss ........, and make them the signs of His gift among the people of the world. “O thou who art attracted unto the Beauty of El-Abha!...” O thou who art attracted unto the Beauty of El-Abha! Verily I read thy recent letter***, and noted its beautiful contents and meanings which proved thy firmness in the straight Path. O friend! Be set aglow with the fire of the love of God, so that the hearts of the people will become enlightened by the light of thy love. Supplicate to God, pray to Him and invoke Him at midnight and at dawn. Be humble and submissive to God and chant the verses of thanksgiving at morn and eve, for that He guided thee unto the Manifest Light and showed to thee the straight Path and destined to thee the station of nearness in His wonderful Kingdom. Verily I ask God to augment for thee, every day, the light of guidance and His gift of virtue, comfort and ease. Thus thou mayest set a good example in that region; that He may lift up the veil from before the eyes of thy mother and father, so that they may witness the lights of the Kingdom of God, which have encompassed all regions. “O thou who hast spread the Fragrance of God!—may...” O thou who hast spread the Fragrance of God!—may God confirm thee!
