THIS is a Tablet sent down by the All-Merciful from the
Kingdom of utterance unto all that dwell on earth. Happy
is the man who hearkeneth and heedeth and woe betide
him who hath erred and doubted. This is the Day that hath
been illumined by the effulgent light of the Countenance
of God--the Day when the Tongue of Grandeur is calling
aloud: The Kingdom is God's, the Lord of the Day of
Resurrection.

Thy name hath been mentioned in Our Presence and We
have deigned to reveal for thee that which the tongue of no
one among the peoples of the world can recount. Rejoice
with exceeding joy inasmuch as thou hast been remembered
in the Most Great Prison and the Countenance of the
Ancient of Days hath turned towards thee from this exalted
habitation.

We have truly revealed the signs, demonstrated the
irrefutable testimonies and have summoned all men unto
the straight Path. Among the people there are those who
have turned away and repudiated the truth, others have
pronounced judgement against Us without any proof or
evidence. The first to turn away from Us have been the
world's spiritual leaders in this age--they that call upon
Us in the daytime and in the night season and mention My
Name while resting on their lofty thrones. However, when
I revealed Myself unto men they rose against Me in such
wise that even the stones groaned and lamented bitterly.

Great is thy blessedness inasmuch as thou hast hearkened
unto His Voice, set thy face towards Him and heeded the
Call of thy Lord when He came invested with invincible
power and sovereignty.
