By God the Truth, verily he angels of the Supreme Assembly pray for thee
every morn and eve and announce to thee glad-tidings! O blessed art thou
who hast devoted thyself to diffusing the fragrances of God! Know thou
that, verily, thy Lord will surely strengthen thy hands and assist thee
through the hosts which are hidden from the sight of the heedless ones,
and will give the victory through a numerous army from the Supreme
Assembly and will illuminate thy heart with the rays shining from the
Kingdom of Abha, the Most Glorious! O maid-servants of God! Gird up thy
loins, strengthen thy back, be not discouraged or grieved if people are
pouring the arrows of scorn and blame thee, insomuch as in this thou wilt
follow the example of those who have endured every tribulation and
calamity.
As to the young man and his revered wife, [as to] both of whom thou hast
informed me: I beseech God to remove the veil from them and lift the
covering from before their faces, so that they may witness the greatest
signs of their Lord, the Great, in this day in which all the regions of
heaven and earth are sparkling with the lights of their Lord. Tell him,
“Verily the Kingdom hath appeared with the ornaments of sanctity on the
apex of the world of being. Thou oughtest to enter therein, and this is
glad-tidings unto thee and to all those who have been expecting the advent
of the Kingdom of their Lord with true heart turned toward God.”
“O thou who art attracted to the Word of God!...”
O thou who art attracted to the Word of God!
Verily I read thy excellent letter, nay, rather thy brilliant, peerless
pearls, which proved thy sincerity in the Cause of God, the enkindlement
of thy heart with the fire of the love of God and the illumination of thy
face through the light of the gift of God!
O maid-servant of God! Know, verily, I was with you in spirit during your
assemblage in the meeting of the commemoration of God, the House of
Agreement, under the Standard of peace, and I perceived ye with my spirit
on the Mount of Salvation and shared with ye in celebrating the praise of
my Lord, and I smiled with all cheerfulness, joy and gladness when I found
that ye were beseeching God and supplicating before the Kingdom of God. I
beseech God to guide some of those who have given themselves to the Word
of God, while they know not the Word. And I beg of God to give insight to
every heedless one, so that he may witness the signs of his Mighty Lord in
this great century wherein the Lord is glorified for the bounties and
gifts which He hath bestowed on all the horizons [i.e., regions] through
His Ancient Grace.
Verily I wrote an answer to the letter of ........ and enclose it in this
letter.
