enjoyeth nearer access unto God than anyone. Unto
this testifieth He Who speaketh in His Most Great
Prison. God! There is none other God but Him, the
One, the Incomparable, the Almighty, the All-Knowing,
the All-Wise.
Wert thou, for the sake of God, to ponder, though
it be but for an hour, upon the things which have
occurred in former times and more recently, thou
wouldst turn away from the things thou dost possess
unto the things which belong unto God, and wouldst
become a means for the exaltation of His Word.
Hath, from the foundation of the world until the
present day, any Light or Revelation shone forth
from the dayspring of the will of God which the
kindreds of the earth have accepted, and Whose Cause
they have acknowledged? Where is it to be found,
and what is its name? Since the Seal of the Prophets
(Muhammad)--may all else but Him be His sacrifice--
and before Him the Spirit of God (Jesus), as
far back as the First Manifestation, all have at the
time of Their appearance suffered grievously. Some
were held to be possessed, others were called impostors,
and were treated in a manner that the pen is ashamed
to describe. By God! There befell Them what hath
made all created things to sigh, and yet the people
are, for the most part, sunk in manifest ignorance!
We pray God to assist them to return unto Him,
and to repent before the door of His mercy. Potent
is He over all things.
