O thou who art enamoured of the Covenant! The Blessed Beauty hath promised this
servant that souls would be raised up who would be the very embodiment of guidance
and banners of the Concourse on high,torches of God's oneness,and stars of His pure
truth,shining in the heavens where God reigneth alone. They would give sight to the
blind,and would make the deaf to hear,they would raise the dead to life. They would
confront all the peoples of the earth,pleading their cause with proof of THE LORD
OF THE SEVEN SPHERES.
It is my hope that in His bounty He will soon raise up these souls, that His Cause may be exalted, the lodestone which will attract this grace is staunchness in
the Covenant. Render thou thanks unto God that thou art firmest of the firm.
O my Gode, aid Thou Thy servant to raise up the Word, and to refute what is vain
and false to establish the truth, to spread the sacred verses abroad, reveal the
Splendors, and make the morning's light to dawn in the hearts of the righteous.
Thou art verily the Generous the Forgiving
