Thy Lord, and fix Thy gaze upon Him, and turn away from all them that
repudiate His truth. Let God, Thy Lord, be Thy sufficing succorer and
helper. We have pledged Ourselves to secure Thy triumph upon earth and to
exalt Our Cause above all men, though no king be found who would turn his
face towards Thee.

The Great Being, wishing to reveal the prerequisites of the peace and
tranquillity of the world and the advancement of its peoples, hath
