CXL: O Muhammad-`Alí! Great is the blessedness
... |
1 |
O Muhammad-`Alí! Great is the blessedness awaiting thee, inasmuch as thou hast adorned thine
heart with the ornament of the love of thy Lord, the
All-Glorious, the All-Praised. He that hath attained
this station in this day, all good shall be his. |
2 |
Pay thou no heed to the humiliation to which the
loved ones of God have in this Day been subjected.
This humiliation is the pride and glory of all temporal
honor and worldly elevation. What greater
honor can be imagined than the honor conferred by
the Tongue of the Ancient of Days when He calleth
to remembrance His loved ones in His Most Great
Prison? The day is approaching when the intervening
clouds will have been completely dissipated, when
the light of the words, "All honor belongeth unto
God and unto them that love Him," will have appeared,
as manifest as the sun, above the horizon of
the Will of the Almighty. |
3 |
All men, be they high or low, have sought and are
still seeking so great an honor. All, however, have,
as soon as the Sun of Truth shed its radiance upon
the world, been deprived of its benefits, and have
been shut out as by a veil from its glory, except them
that have clung to the cord of the unfailing providence
of the one true God, and have with complete
detachment from all else but Him turned their faces
towards His holy court. |
4 |
Render thanks unto Him Who is the Desire of all
worlds for having invested thee with such high honor.
Ere long the world and all that is therein shall be as
a thing forgotten, and all honor shall belong to the
loved ones of thy Lord, the All-Glorious, the Most
Bountiful. |
