ll the pairs, of such things as
earth produceth, and out of men themselves, and of things beyond their
ken.'(35) And above all other unions is that between human beings,
especially when it cometh to pass in the love of God. Thus is the primal
oneness made to appear; thus is laid the foundation of love in the spirit.
It is certain that such a marriage as yours will cause the bestowals of
God to be revealed. Wherefore do we offer you felicitations and call down
blessings upon you and beg of the Blessed Beauty, through His aid and
favour, to make that wedding feast a joy to all and adorn it with the
harmony of Heaven.

O my Lord, O my Lord! These two bright orbs are wedded in Thy love,
conjoined in servitude to Thy Holy Threshold, united in ministering to Thy
Cause. Make Thou this marriage to be as threading lights of Thine
abounding grace, O my Lord, the All-Merciful, and luminous rays of Thy
bestowals, O Thou the Beneficent, the Ever-Giving, that there may branch
out from this great tree boughs that will grow green and flourishing
through the gifts that rain down from Thy clouds of grace.

Verily Thou art the Generous, verily Thou art the Almighty, verily Thou
art the Compassionate, the All-Merciful.

88: O YE MY TWO BELOVED CHILDREN! THE NEWS OF YOUR ...

O ye my two beloved children! The news of your union, as soon as it
reached me, imparted infinite joy and gratitude. Praise be to God, those
two faithful birds have sought shelter in one nest. I beseech God that He
may enable them to raise an honoured family, for the importance of
marriage lieth in the bringing up of a richly blessed family, so that with
entire gladness they may, even as candles, illuminate the world. For the
enlightenment of the world dependeth upon the existence of man. If man did
not exist in this world, it would have been like a tree without fruit. My
hope is that you both may become even as one tree, and may, through the
outpourings of the cloud of loving-kindness, acquire freshness and charm,
and may blossom and yield fruit, so that your line may eternally endure.

Upon ye be the Glory of the Most Glorious.

O thou who art firm in the Covenant! The letter thou hadst written on 2
May 1919 was received. Praise thou God that in tests thou art firm and
steadfast and art holding fast to the Abha Kingdom. Thou art not shaken by
any affliction or disturbed by any calamity
