n: 'The door of grace hath been unlocked and He
Who is the Dayspring of Justice is come with perspicuous signs and evident
testimonies, from God, the Lord of strength and of might!' Present thyself
before Me that thou mayest hear the mysteries which were heard by the Son
of 'Imran (Moses) upon the Sinai of Wisdom. Thus commandeth thee He Who is
the Dawning-Place of the Revelation of thy Lord, the God of Mercy, from
His great Prison."

Thereupon hath the cry and the lamentation of the true Faith been raised
once again, saying: "Verily, Sinai calleth aloud and saith: 'O people of

mayest know of a certainty that this Wronged One hath not concealed the
Cause of God, but hath proclaimed and delivered, in the most eloquent
language, before the face of the world, the things He had been
