He may heal thee from the infirmities which
have affected thee and weakened thy feeble body, and strengthen thee to
guide mankind into the Supreme Kingdom and quicken hearts by the
fragrances of the Paradise of Abha, so that thou mayest become a bird
warbling upon the twigs of the Tree of Life, with most wonderful melodies
and most charming tunes.

Verily I read thy recent letter which indicated conscious joy and abundant
happiness from the glad-tidings of the Kingdom of El-Abha. Know, verily
