ht of Guidance! O ye lamps lighted by the Light of
Love and Affection!

Verily, I have read your brilliant letter, which indicated your
enkindlement by the fire of the love of God and prayed [for] your entrance
into the Kingdom of God.

Blessed ye are, O ye who are firm and steadfast in the Covenant of God!

Blessed ye are, O ye shining stars from the horizon of the love of God!

I supplicate to God to make you the heralds of His mercy, spreaders of the
fragrances of His holiness, utterers of His name, servants in His vineyard
and dwellers in the Paradise of El-ABHA; so that ye may become signs of
guidance, standards of love and divine fruitful trees, cheerfully moved by
the breezes of God.

Make firm your feet in the Cause of God; dilate your breasts by the
glad-tidings of God and turn to the kingdom of God with pure hearts,
sanctified souls, cheerful spirits, brightened eyes and illumined faces.
Verily, I say unto you then (when ye become so) the angels of holiness
will welcome you by the glad-tidings of God, the Mighty, the Powerful.

"O ye maid-servants of the Merciful! Leaves of the..."

O ye(79) maid-servants of the Merciful! Leaves of the Tree of Life!

Thank ye the Lord, for He hath removed the covering from off your insight,
illuminated your eyes by witnessing the Sun of Truth, purified your souls,
and hath quickened your hearts through the holy fragrances which are being
diffused from the garden of the kingdom of His Great Glory!

O ye maid-servants of the Merciful! It is incumbent upon you to soar up
with wings of joy and happiness unto the apex of exultation and gladness;
for He hath assigned unto you the greatest guidance in the Day of
Resurrection, and hath crowned you with the diadem of glory and divine
honor among the women of the whole world, and hath chosen you above the
queens of the world for His great bounty.

Verily, the crowns which are on the heads of the noble women--the queens of
the world--all their bases will be finally broken, their gems scattered
away, their luster removed and will become as dispersed dust. But your
magnificent crowns are everlastingly brilliant and permanently glorious
and mighty and their gems scintillating throughout cycles and ages.

This is the highest gift! This is the greatest bestowal! Thank ye your
Lord for this great bounty and favor! O ye maid-servants of the Merciful!
verily, your Lord, the Supreme, is calling upon you from His Ancient
Kingdom
