Kitáb-i-Aqdas, and in the Tablets to the Kings, and
in the Lawh-i-Ra'ís, and in the Lawh-i-Fu'ád, most
of the things which have come to pass on this earth

bless thy throne with one who will rule with justice,
who will gather together the flock of God which
the wolves have scattered. Such a ruler will, with joy
and gladness, turn his face towards, and extend his

Upon him rest forever the glory of God, and the
glory of all that dwell in the kingdom of His revelation."
