dmaiden, and My Leaf, and the one mentioned in My Book,
and inscribed by My Pen of Glory in My Scrolls and Tablets. ...Rejoice
thou, at this moment, in the most exalted Station and the All-highest
Paradise, and the Abha Horizon, inasmuch as He Who is the Lord of Names
hath remembered thee. We bear witness that thou didst attain unto all
good, and that God hath so exalted thee, that all honor and glory circled
around thee."

"O Navvab!" He thus, in another Tablet, addresses her, "O Leaf that hath
sprung from My Tree, and been My companion! My glory be upon thee, and My
loving-kindness, and My mercy that hath surpassed all beings. We announce

upon thee, O Holy Leaf that hath sprung from the Divine Lote-Tree! I bear
witness that thou hast believed in God and in His signs, and answered His
Call, and turned unto Him, and held fast unto His cord, and clung to the
hem of His grace, and fled thy home in His path, and chosen to live as a
stranger, out of love for His presence and in thy longing to serve Him.
May God have mercy upon him that draweth nigh unto thee, and remembereth
thee through the things which My Pen hath voiced in this, the
