"O thou who art attracted by the Breath of God!..."
| |
1 |
O thou who art attracted by the Breath of God!
| |
2 |
With all joy I read thy brilliant letter and was informed
of its expression and meanings, which showed
thine abundant love in God, thy humility before the
beloved of God, thine attraction to the fragrances of
God and thy firmness in the Testament of God.
| |
3 |
I beg of God to make thee promote perfect harmony
among the believers of God and pure affection amid
the chosen ones of God and make thee [to] cause greatest
tranquillity to all the creatures and [to] show
kindness towards all the people on the earth, because
the bounty of the Merciful God is but pure love, great
prosperity and universal peace among the different people
in all regions and laying the foundation of great happiness
and felicity for all the creatures.
| |
4 |
Consequently, O thou who art attracted by the fragrances
of God, exert thyself and fail not to infuse
affection throughout all hearts and souls; [fail not] to
gather all the souls together in the assemblage of union
and cheerfulness, so that the beloved of God may become
as a levied army of the Supreme Concourse and
as a host of salvation descending from the Kingdom
of ABHA and conquer the countries of hearts and the
cities of souls with their tongues, similar to sharp
swords whereby fortresses and castles are conquered.

5 |
By the Life of God! Verily I love thee with all my
heart and pray for thee every eve and morn that the
forgiving Lord may enable thee to serve in His excellent
vineyard and make thee a sign of His signs, to
cause thee to deliver His Cause, diffuse His breath
(and I beg of Him) to strengthen thine honorable
wife to that which behooveth these days. Verily He is
the Giver of Confirmation in all circumstances!
