O thou maid-servant of God who art attracted unto Him!

Verily, I read thy letter and was informed of its words. Its meaning
showed that thou hast come out of the tests of God and that thou art firm
and steadfast in the love of God. This is through the grace of thy Lord
and His mercy upon those of His maid-servants who are firm in His right

call; He gave thee nostrils to sense the beautiful fragrance of the
rose-garden of the Kingdom; He gave thee taste to find the sweetness of
the love of God; He gave thee a tongue to mention Him. Therefore, thou
must thank Him night and day for having attained this bounty. Thus mayest
