hantom which the vain imaginations of its
peoples have conceived. Render thanks unto God, inasmuch as ye have
attained unto your heart's Desire, and been united to Him Who is the
Promise of all nations. Guard ye, with the aid of the one true God--exalted
be His glory--the integrity of the station which ye have attained, and
cleave to that which shall promote His Cause. He, verily, enjoineth on you

be the All-Merciful, the Revealer of this wondrous Tablet.
