favor of God!
Verily, I have read the names of your beloved assembly which deserves to
be mentioned with sanctity and which attracts the confirmation of the
loving Lord and seeks to attain to the favors of God, the Mighty, the
Compassionate!
I beseech God at all times, with all supplication, humility and lowliness,
to confirm these souls who have no purpose in their deliberation and
consultations save to seek the merciful bounties and the divine invisible
confirmations.
I hope and request, through the bounty of my Lord, that the greatest
assistance and the most eminent confirmation be granted unto you when ye
are firm and steadfast and withstand every difficulty which may befall you
in spreading the Cause of God in those regions.
By the life of God, all the confirmations of the Kingdom of God will
surround those whose hearts are firm, whose feet are steadfast and whose
souls are tranquilized in the Most Great Cause.
Consider ye the past centuries, how a single one of the beloved of God
withstood all the people on the earth because of his firmness in the love
of God, and his entire turning of the heart toward the Kingdom of God and
with the cup of his heart overflowing with the wine of the knowledge of
God.
Be ye assured with the greatest assurance that, verily, God will help
those who are firm in His Covenant in every matter, through His
confirmation and favor, the lights of which will shine forth unto the east
of the earth, as well as the west thereof. He will make them the signs of
guidance among the creation and as shining and glittering stars from all
horizons.
Consequently, do ye beseech unto God and pray and supplicate Him and ask
Him for the greatest gift and eminent favor.
"O thou who hast acknowledged the Kingdom of God!..."
O thou who hast acknowledged the Kingdom of God!
I received thy letter wherein thou hast confessed the appearance of the
Kingdom of God at this time, declared His Oneness and believed in His
Words. Blessed art thou for this clear confession! Thank the maid-servant
of God .............. for she hath guided thee to this Path and declared
to thee the Call of God. Shouldst thou offer all the treasures of the
earth to her, they would not equal this great guidance.
Depend upon God, be sincere and sever thyself from all else save Him. Thus
thou wilt receive the teaching of God and thy heart will be made happy.
May thy tongue praise Him and thy sight behold the light
