e one true God shall, the moment
they depart out of this life, experience such joy and gladness as would be
impossible to describe, while they that live in error shall be seized with
such fear and trembling, and shall be filled with such consternation, as
nothing can exceed. Well is it with him that hath quaffed the choice and
incorruptible wine of faith through the gracious favor and the manifold
bounties of Him Who is the Lord of all Faiths....

This is the Day when the loved ones of God should keep their eyes directed
towards His Manifestation, and fasten them upon whatsoever that
Manifestation may be pleased to reveal. Certain traditions of bygone ages
rest on no foundations whatever, while the notions entertained by past
generations, and which they have recorded in their books, have, for the
most part, been influenced by the desires of a corrupt inclination. Thou
dost witness how most of the commentaries and interpretations of the words
of God, now current amongst men, are devoid of truth. Their falsity hath,
in some cases, been exposed when the intervening veils were rent asunder.
They themselves have acknowledged their failure in apprehending the
meaning of any of the words of God.

Our purpose is to show that should the loved ones of God sanctify their
hearts and their ears from the vain sayings that were uttered aforetime,
and turn with their inmost souls to Him Who is the Day Spring of His
Revelation, and to whatsoever things He hath manifested, such behavior
would be regarded as highly meritorious in the sight of God....

Magnify His Name, and be thou of the thankful. Convey My greetings to My
loved ones, whom God hath singled out for His love, and caused them to
achieve their objects. All glory be to God, the Lord of all worlds.

LXXXVII: AND NOW REGARDING THY QUESTION, "HOW...

And now regarding thy question, "How is it that no records are to be found
concerning the Prophets that have preceded Adam, the Father of Mankind, or
of the kings that lived in the days of those Prophets?" Know thou that the
absence of any reference to them is no proof that they did not actually
exist. That no records concerning them are now available, should be
attributed to their extreme remoteness, as well as to the vast changes
which the earth hath undergone since their time.

Moreover such forms and modes of writing as are now current amongst men
were unknown to the generations that were before Adam. There was even
