110 Say: If ye deny this Revelation, by what proof have ye believed in
God? Produce it then. Thus hath the summons of God been sent down by the
Pen of the Most High at the bidding of your Lord, the Most Glorious, in
this Tablet from whose horizon the splendour of His Light hath shone
forth. How many are My servants whose deeds have become veils between them
and their own selves, and who have been kept back thereby from drawing
nigh unto God, He Who causeth the winds to blow.
111 O concourse of monks! The fragrances of the All-Merciful have wafted
over all creation. Happy the man that hath forsaken his desires, and taken
fast hold of guidance. He, indeed, is of those who have attained unto the
presence of God in this Day, a Day whereon commotions have seized the
dwellers of the earth and filled with dismay all save those who have been
exempted by God, He Who layeth low the necks of men.
112 Adorn ye your bodies whilst the raiment of God is stained with the
blood of hatred at the hands of the people of denial? Issue forth from
your habitations and bid the people enter the Kingdom of God, the Lord of
the Day of Judgement. The Word which the Son concealed is made manifest.
It hath been sent down in the form of the human temple in this day.
Blessed be the Lord Who is the Father! He, verily, is come unto the
nations in His most great majesty. Turn your faces towards Him, O
concourse of the righteous!
113 O followers of all religions! We behold you wandering distraught in
the wilderness of error. Ye are the fish of this Ocean; wherefore do ye
withhold yourselves from that which sustaineth you? Lo, it surgeth before
your faces. Hasten unto it from every clime. This is the day whereon the
Rock(12) crieth out and shouteth, and celebrateth the praise of its Lord,
the All-Possessing, the Most High, saying: “Lo! The Father is come, and
that which ye were promised in the Kingdom is fulfilled!” This is the Word
which was preserved behind the veils of grandeur, and which, when the
Promise came to pass, shed its radiance from the horizon of the Divine
Will with clear tokens.
114 My body hath borne imprisonment that your souls may be released from
bondage, and We have consented to be abased that ye may be exalted. Follow
the Lord of glory and dominion, and not every ungodly oppressor. My body
longeth for the cross, and Mine head awaiteth the thrust of the spear, in
the path of the All-Merciful, that the world may be purged from its
transgressions. Thus hath the Daystar of divine authority shone forth from
the horizon of the Revelation of Him Who is the Possessor of all names and
attributes.
