“O ye who are turned towards the Kingdom and drawn…” |
O ye
1
who are turned towards the Kingdom and drawn
unto the Holy Fragrances diffused from the Garden
of El-Abha!
|
Arise with every power to assist the Covenant of God
and serve in His vineyard. Be confident that a confirmation
will be granted unto you and a success on
His part given unto you. Verily He shall support you
by the angels of His Holiness and reinforce you with
the breaths of the Spirit that ye may mount the Ark
of Safety, set forth the evident signs, impart the spirit
of life, declare the essence of His commands and
precepts, guide the sheep who are straying from the
fold in all directions, use every effort in your power to
give the blessings ye have and strive earnestly and
wisely in this new century. By God, verily the Lord of
Hosts is your support, the angels of heaven your assistance,
the Holy Spirit your companion and the Center
of the Covenant your helper! Be not idle, but active
and fear not. Look unto those who have been in the
former ages—how they have resisted all nations and
suffered persecutions and afflictions, and how their stars
434
shone and their attacks proved successful, their teachings
established, their regions expanded, their hearts gladdened,
their ideas cleared and their motives effective.
Ye are now in a great station and noble rank and ye shall
find yourselves in evident success and prosperity, the
like of which the eye of existence hath never seen in
former ages.
