Not long ago this most sublime Word was revealed in the Crimson Book by the All-Glorious Pen:  ’The heaven of divine wisdom is illumined with two luminaries:  consultation and compassion’.  Please God, everyone may be enabled to observe this weighty and blessed word.

Certain people seem to be entirely bereft of understanding.  By clinging to the cord of idle fancy they have debarred themselves from the Sure Handle.  I swear by My life!  Were they to reflect a while with fairness on that which the All-Merciful hath sent down, they would, one and all, spontaneously give utterance to these words, ’Verily Thou art the Truth, the manifest Truth.’

It behoveth thee to turn thy gaze in all circumstances unto the One true God, and seek diligently to serve His Cause.  Call thou to mind when thou wert in My company, within the Tabernacle of Glory, and didst hear from Me that which He Who conversed with God [Moses] heard upon the Sinai of divine knowledge.  Thus did We graciously aid thee, enabled thee to recognize the truth and cautioned thee, that thou mightest render thanks unto thy bountiful Lord.  Thou shouldst safeguard this sublime station through the potency of My Name, the Omnipotent, the Faithful.

Convey greetings on My behalf to My loved ones and suffer them to hearken unto My sweet Voice.  Thus biddeth thee the One Who hath bidden thee in the past; I am in truth the Ordainer, the All-Informed.  Glory be upon thee and upon those who give ear to thy words concerning this momentous Cause and who love thee for the sake of God, the Lord of the worlds.

“O HAYDAR!  This Wronged One hath heard thy voice...”

O HAYDAR!(89) This Wronged One hath heard thy voice raised in the service of the Cause of God and is well aware of the feeling of joy which His love hath roused in thy heart and of thy pangs of anguish at that which hath befallen His loved ones.  I swear by the Lord of mercy!  The whole world is overwhelmed with sorrow whilst mankind is perplexed with doubts and dissensions.  The people of God, the Lord of Names, are so grievously beset by enemies that the supreme Paradise hath lamented and the inmates of highest Heaven and those who, day and night, circle round the Throne have groaned aloud.

O ’Ali!  Woes and sorrows are powerless to restrain thy Lord, the All-Merciful.  Indeed He hath risen to champion the Cause of God in such wise that neither the overpowering might of the world nor the tyranny of the nations can ever alarm Him.  He calleth aloud betwixt earth and heaven, saying:  The Promised Day is come.  The Lord of creation proclaimeth:  Verily, there is no God besides Me, the Almighty, the All-Bountiful.
