O Ḥusayn! Consider the eagerness with which
certain peoples and nations have anticipated the return
of Imám-Ḥusayn, whose coming, after the appearance
of the Qá’im, hath been prophesied, in days
past, by the chosen ones of God, exalted be His glory.
These holy ones have, moreover, announced that
when He Who is the Day Spring of the manifold
grace of God manifesteth Himself, all the Prophets
and Messengers, including the Qá’im, will gather together
beneath the shadow of the sacred Standard
which the Promised One will raise. That hour is now
come. The world is illumined with the effulgent glory
of His countenance. And yet, behold how far its peoples
have strayed from His path! None have believed
in Him except them who, through the power of the
Lord of Names, have shattered the idols of their vain
imaginings and corrupt desires and entered the city
of certitude. The seal of the choice Wine of His
Revelation hath, in this Day and in His Name, the
Self-Sufficing, been broken. Its grace is being poured
out upon men. Fill thy cup, and drink in, in His
Name, the Most Holy, the All-Praised.
