O My exalted Pen!  Bring him, on My behalf, the joyful tidings concerning the things that God, the Powerful, the Omnipotent, hath reserved for him.  Indeed he hath, for most of the time, been hemmed in by manifold sorrows, and verily his merciful Lord is the One Who seeth and knoweth all things.  Rejoice thou with exceeding gladness inasmuch as this Wronged One hath turned His face towards thee, hath mentioned thy name aforetime and doth mention it at this very moment.

Unto My loved friends give thou remembrances in My Name and convey to them the tidings of the gracious bounties of their Lord, the Giver, the All-Generous.  From this exalted station We send Our greetings unto such believers as have taken fast hold on the Sure Handle and quaffed the choice wine of constancy from the hand of favour of their Lord, the Almighty, the All-Praised.

In this Day the faculty of hearing exclaimeth, ’This is my Day, wherein I hearken unto the wondrous Voice coming from the precincts of the Prison of my Lord, the Perspicuous, the Hearing.’  And the faculty of sight calleth aloud, ’Verily this is my Day, for I behold the Dayspring of glory shining resplendent at the bidding of Him Who is the Ordainer, the All-Powerful.’  Blessed the ear that hath heard the call, ’Behold, and thou shalt see Me.’(87) and happy the eye that hath gazed upon the most wondrous Sign, dawning from this luminous horizon.

Say:  O concourse of the rulers and of the learned and the wise!  The Promised Day is come and the Lord of Hosts hath appeared.  Rejoice ye with great joy by reason of this supreme felicity.  Aid Him then through the power of wisdom and utterance.  Thus biddeth you the One Who hath ever proclaimed, ’Verily, no God is there but Me, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.’

May His glory rest upon thee and upon those who are with thee and such ones as cherish thee and give ear to the words thou utterest in glorification of this mighty, this transcendent Revelation.

“O THOU who bearest My Name, Jud [Bounty]!  Upon...”

O THOU who bearest My Name, Jud(88) [Bounty]!  Upon thee be My Glory.  Give ear unto that which thou didst hear aforetime when the Day-Star of testimony was shining resplendent above the horizon of ’Iraq, when Baghdad served as the Seat of the Throne of thy Lord, the Exalted, the Mighty.

I bear witness that thou hast hearkened unto the melody of God and His sweet accents, inclined thine ear to the cooing of the Dove of divine Revelation and hast heard the Nightingale of fidelity pouring forth its notes upon the Branch of Glory:  Verily there is none other God but Me, the Incomparable, the All-Informed.
