thy soul!

Then know thou, if thy revered husband herald the Kingdom of God among
peoples, he would find the doors of the Kingdom open before his face among
the nations, and then his breath would take effect within the heart of the
world through the breath of the Holy Spirit.

I beg of God to guide him unto that whereunto He hath guided thee, and to
favor him with that with which He hath favored thee. At that time the
lamps of gifts will be enkindled among thy kinsmen and people.

Verily, thy Lord is the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Giver!

Upon ye be greeting and praise!

mankind become real friends with one another and each soul respect the
other. Whenever these signs appear, then it will become manifest that the
Tablets have had their effect."

Garden, the Blessed Spot--the Paradise of El-Abha!

I have read thy brilliant letter, which although short in words yet [is]
loquacious, and shows thy firmness in the Covenant of God, thy
steadfastness in the religion of God, thy adherence to the laws of God,
and thine energy which thou hast shown towards the doctrines of God. Thou
