“O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!…”
O thou who art attracted to the Fragrances of God!
I know how great a love thou hast! Thou art like unto a blooming rose in the rose-garden of the love of God and thou art like unto a fruitful tree on the bank of the stream of knowledge of God. I beg of God that thou mayest always enjoy spiritual nearness and ever be rejoiced. Reveal thou (or teach thou) the Word of God; be not grieved at the people’s lack of hearing. Do thou sow the seed, and God will make it grow and the cloud (or rain) of mercy will develop it.
Convey greeting to the beloved of God and to the maid-servants of the Merciful.
