"O ye sincere ones and ye who are attracted and moved..."
| |
1 |
O ye
[1]
sincere ones and ye who are attracted and moved
by the breeze of the favor of God!
| |
2 |
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!
| |
3 |
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.
| |
4 |
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.
| |
5 |
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.
| |
6 |
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.
| |
7 |
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.
| |
8 |
Consequently, do ye beseech unto God and pray and
supplicate Him and ask Him for the greatest gift and
eminent favor.
