t
against Him Who is the Most Great Remembrance of God? By the righteousness
of God, all who are in the heaven and on earth and whatsoever lieth
between them are regarded in My sight even as a spider's web,(29) and
verily God beareth witness unto all things. Indeed they will not lay plots
but against themselves. God hath caused this Remembrance to be, in very
truth, independent of all the dwellers of earth and heaven. _Chapter XXV._
"O ye peoples of the earth! During the time of My ..."
O ye peoples of the earth! During the time of My absence I sent down the
Gates unto you. However the believers, except for a handful, obeyed them
not. Formerly I sent forth unto you Ahmad and more recently Kazim, but
apart from the pure in heart amongst you no one followed them. What hath
befallen you, O people of the Book? Will ye not fear the One true God, He
Who is your Lord, the Ancient of Days?... O ye who profess belief in God!
I adjure you by Him Who is the Eternal Truth, have ye discerned among the
precepts of these Gates anything inconsistent with the commandments of God
as set forth in this Book? Hath your learning deluded you by reason of
your impiety? Take ye heed then, for verily your God, the Lord of Eternal
Truth, is with you and in very truth is watchful over you... _Chapter

O ye kinsmen of the Most Great Remembrance! This Tree of Holiness, dyed
crimson with the oil of servitude, hath verily sprung forth out of your
own soil in the midst of the Burning Bush, yet ye comprehend nothing

actual circumstances of His earthly life, nor of the evidences of His
powerful and unblemished behaviour. Actuated by your own fancies, you
consider Him to be alien to the sovereign Truth, while in the estimation
of God He is none other than the Promised One Himself, invested with the
power of the sovereign Truth, and verily He is, as decreed in the Mother
Book, held answerable in the midst of the Burning Bush...
O Qurratu'l-'Ayn! Deliver the summons of the most exalted Word unto the
handmaids among Thy kindred, caution them against the Most Great Fire and
announce unto them the joyful tidings that following this mighty Covenant
there shall be everlasting reunion with God in the Paradise of His
good-pleasure, nigh unto the Seat of Holiness. Verily God, the Lord of
creation, is potent ov
