God.

Verily, I remember thee in my prayers an din my invocation, beseeching the
Heavenly Father, the Lord of Hosts, to confirm thee by a power and cause
thee to be firm and to work and serve in the olive garden of God and to be
lowly and submissive before His Holy and Exalted Threshold.

"O thou fortunate and righteous, sincere and pious!..."

O thou fortunate and righteous, sincere and pious!

Thank thou God for that by reason of which the breath of God hath awakened
thee and the spirit of God hath quickened thee and raised thee from among
the dead with a joyful spirit of life.

In my prayers I supplicate God to bestow upon thee in all cases and
aspects an influential and penetrating power that thou mayest be a firm,
faithful and successful servant in the garden of El-ABHA, and a skillful
laborer in the vineyard of God.

"O thou who art advancing toward the Kingdom of..."

O thou who art advancing toward the Kingdom of God!

Verily, I supplicate God to illuminate thy heart through the light which
is shining from the Supreme Concourse that His mightiest power may
strengthen thee to be firm, steadfast, submissive and lowly before the
Kingdom of God, and to be an example of good deeds among the maid-servants
of the Merciful. And I beseech Him to make thy breast a clear mirror to
reflect the light of the spirit of God.

"O thou at whose mention I am rejoiced!..."

O thou at whose mention I am rejoiced!

By God, the True One, verily pure hearts are as clear and brilliant
mirrors which imprint the one on the other, and hearts discover the
secrets of hearts. Therefore, they (hearts) chant the verses of longing
and recite the odes of glorification and praise. Consequently, the
recourse is to pages of hearts, not pages filled with written lines.

Give my greetings to thy revered wife and announce to her the glad-tidings
of a gift from God; and I beg of God to make her a spark from out the fire
of His love. Verily He is the Powerful, the Mighty!

"O thou who art assured in God!..."

O thou who art assured in God!

Verily we read thy letter and asked for thee confirmation. Verily thy Lord
will strengthen thee in great spirituality and cause thy heart to overflow
with the gifts of God.

All the servants of the Merciful here convey to thee greetings and praise.
