O Abu’l-Hasan!
God
willing thou art sustained by His lordly favours and art occupied with
such deeds as befit His Day. Regard faith as a tree: its fruits and
leaves, its branches and boughs are, and ever have been, truthfulness,
trustworthiness, rectitude of conduct, and forbearance. Be assured of
God’s sustaining grace, and engage thyself with service to His Faith.
We have designated thee a trustee of God, have bidden thee to observe
that which shall exalt the Cause of Him Who is the Lord of the worlds,
and have bestowed upon thee the right to receive
Huqúqu’lláh. Consort with the people in a spirit of
amity and concord, and be unto them a loyal counsellor and a loving
companion. Content thyself then with that which We have ordained for
thee.
