1	سمه الابهى (edit)	IN HIS NAME, THE ALL-GLORIOUS! (edit)	In the name of the Most Glorious (edit)
2	ان يا رئيس اسمع نداء اللّه الملک المهيمن القيّوم انّه ينادى بين الارض و السّماء و يدع الکلّ الی المنظر الابهى و لا يمنعه قباعک و لا نباح من فى حولک و لا جنود العالمين. قد اشتعل العالم من کلمة ربّک الابهى و انّها ارقّ من نسيم الصّبا قد ظهرت علی هيئة الانسان و بها احيى اللّه عباده المقبلين و فى باطنها مآء قد طهّر اللّه به افئدة الّذين اقبلوا الی الله و غفلوا عن ذکر ما سوئه و قرّبهم الی منظر اسمه العظيم و قد رشحنا منه علی القبور و هم قيام ينظرون جمال اللّه المشرق المنير. (edit)	1 HEARKEN, O Chief,[49] to the voice of God, the Sovereign, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. He, verily, calleth aloud between heaven and earth, summoning all mankind unto the scene of transcendent glory. Neither thy grunting, nor the barking of those around thee, nor the opposition of the hosts of the world can withhold the Almighty from achieving His purpose. The whole world hath been set ablaze by the Word of thy Lord, the All-Glorious, a Word softer than the morning breeze. It hath been manifested in the form of the human temple, and through it God hath quickened the souls of the sincere among His servants. In its inner essence, this Word is the living water by which God hath purified the hearts of such as have turned unto Him and forgotten every other mention, and through which He draweth them nigh unto the seat of His mighty Name. We have sprinkled it upon the people of the graves, and lo, they have risen up, with their gaze fixed upon the shining and resplendent Beauty of their Lord. (edit)	Indeed, O Chief, hear the call of God, the Sovereign, the Dominant, the Self-Subsisting. Indeed, He calls between the earth and the sky, and invites all to the most glorious vision. Not obstructed by your veils, nor by the barking around you, nor by the armies of the worlds. The world has ignited from the word of your most glorious Lord, and it is gentler than the breeze of dawn. It has appeared in the form of a human, and through it, God has enlivened His servants who are oriented towards Him. In its essence is a water with which God has purified the hearts of those who turn to Him and are heedless of the mention of anything other than Him. He has drawn them near to the vision of His great Name, and we have sprinkled from it upon the graves, and they are standing, observing the beauty of God, the luminous, the radiant. (edit)
3	ان يا رئيس قد ارتکبت ما ينوح به محمّد رسول اللّه فى الجنّة العليا و غرّتک الدّنيا على شان اعرضت عن الوجه الّذى بنوره استضاء الملأ الاعلى فسوف تجد نفسک فى خسران مبين و اتّحدت مع رئيس العجم فى ضرّى بعد الّذى جئتکم من مطلع العظمة و الکبرياء بامر به قرّت عيون المقرّبين. (edit)	2 Thou hast, O Chief, committed that which hath caused Muḥammad, the Apostle of God, to lament in the most sublime Paradise. The world hath made thee proud, so much so that thou hast turned away from the Face through Whose brightness the Concourse on high hath been illumined. Soon thou shalt find thyself in manifest loss! Thou didst conspire with the Persian Ambassador to harm Me, though I had come unto you from the source of majesty and grandeur with a Revelation that hath solaced the eyes of the favoured ones of God. (edit)	Indeed, O Chief, you have committed what would cause Muhammad, the Messenger of God, to lament in the highest Paradise. The world has deceived you, therefore you have turned away from the face whose light illuminates the highest assembly. You will find yourself in clear loss. You have allied with the Chief of the Persians to your detriment, after what has come to you from the horizon of greatness and majesty, by whose command the eyes of those drawn near are delighted. (edit)
4	تاللّه هذا يوم فيه تنطق النّار فى کلّ الاشياء قد اتى محبوب العالمين و عند کلّ شىء من الاشياء قام کليم الامر لاصغاء کلمة ربّک العزيز العليم. انّا لو نخرج من القميص الّذى لبسناه لضعفکم ليفديّن من فى السّموات و الارض انفسهم لنفسى و ربّک يشهد بذلک و لا يسمعه الّا الذين انقطعوا عن کلّ الوجود حبّاً للّه العزيز القدير. (edit)	3 By God! This is the Day wherein the undying Fire crieth out from within all created things: “The Best-Beloved of the worlds is come!” And before all things there standeth a Moses, hearkening to the Word of thy Lord, the Almighty, the All-Knowing. Were We to divest Ourself of the mortal raiment which We have worn in consideration of your weakness, all that are in heaven and on earth would offer up their souls for My sake. To this thy Lord Himself doth testify. None, however, can perceive it save those who have detached themselves from all things for love of their Lord, the Almighty, the Most Powerful. (edit)	By God, this is a day on which fire speaks in all things; the Beloved of the worlds has come, and at every instance from all things, the Speaker of the command stands to listen to the word of your Lord, the Mighty, the Knowing. Indeed, were we to shed the garment we have donned due to your weakness, those in the heavens and the earth would offer themselves in ransom for my soul, and your Lord bears witness to this. None will hear it except those who have severed themselves from all existence, out of love for God, the Mighty, the Powerful. (edit)
5	هل ظننت انّک تقدر ان تطفى النّار الّتى اوقدها اللّه فى الآفاق لا و نفسه الحقّ لو انت من العارفين بل بما فعلت زاد لهيبها و اشتعالها فسوف يحيط الارض و من عليها کذلک قضى الامر و لا يقوم معه حکم من فى السّموات و الارضين. (edit)	4 Hast thou imagined thyself capable of extinguishing the fire which God hath kindled in the heart of creation? Nay, by Him Who is the Eternal Truth, couldst thou but know it. Rather, on account of what thy hands have wrought, it blazed higher and burned more fiercely. Erelong will it encompass the earth and all that dwell therein. Thus hath it been decreed by God, and the powers of earth and heaven are unable to thwart His purpose. (edit)	Do you think you can extinguish the fire that God has ignited on the horizons? No, by His True Essence, if you are among the knowing. Rather, by what you have done, its flames and ignition have increased. Thus will it encompass the earth and those upon it. So has the matter been decreed, and none shall stand with Him in judgment, neither in the heavens nor in the two earths. (edit)
6	فسوف تبدّل ارض السّر و ما دونها و تخرج من يد الملک و يظهر الزّلزال و يرتفع العويل و يظهر الفساد فى الاقطار و تختلف الامور بما ورد علی هولاء الاسرار من جنود الظّالمين و يتغيّر الحکم و يشتدّ الامر علی شان ينوح الکثيب فى الهضاب و تبکى الاشجار فى الجبال و يجرى الدّم من کلّ الاشياء و ترى النّاس فى اضطراب عظيم. (edit)	5 The day is approaching when the Land of Mystery1 and what is beside it shall be changed, and shall pass out of the hands of the King, and commotions shall appear, and the voice of lamentation shall be raised, and the evidences of mischief shall be revealed on all sides, and confusion shall spread by reason of that which hath befallen these captives at the hands of the hosts of oppression. The course of things shall be altered, and conditions shall wax so grievous, that the very sands on the desolate hills will moan, and the trees on the mountain will weep, and blood will flow out of all things. Then wilt thou behold the people in sore distress.[50] (edit)	Thus will the land of mystery and what lies beneath it be transformed, and it will escape from the hand of the King. The earthquake will manifest, the wailing will rise, and corruption will appear in the lands. Affairs will differ due to the secrets inflicted upon these by the troops of the unjust. The rule will change and the matter will intensify so much that the dunes will lament in the plateaus, the trees will weep in the mountains, blood will flow from all things, and you will see people in great turmoil. (edit)
7	ان يا رئيس قد تجلّينا عليک مرّة فى جبل التّيناء و مرّة فى الزّيتاء و فى هذه البقعة المبارکة انّک ما استشعرت بما اتّبعت هواک و کنت من الغافلين. فانظر ثمّ اذکر اذا اتى محمّد بآيات بيّنات من لدن عزيز عليم کان القوم ان يرجموه فى المراصد و الاسواق و کفروا بآيات اللّه ربّک و ربّ آبائک الاوّلين و انکره العلماء ثمّ الّذين اتّبعوهم من الاحزاب و عن ورائهم ملوک الارض کما سمعت من قصص الاوّلين و منهم الکسرى الّذى ارسل اليه کتابا کريما و دعاه الی اللّه و نهاه عن الشّرک انّ ربّک بکلّ شىء عليم. انّه استکبر علی اللّه و مزّق اللّوح بما اتّبع النّفس و الهوى الا انّه من اصحاب السّعير. (edit)	6 O Chief! We revealed Ourself unto thee at one time upon Mount Tíná, and at another time upon Mount Zaytá,[51] and yet again in this hallowed Spot. Following, however, thy corrupt inclinations, thou didst fail to respond and wert accounted with the heedless. Consider, then, and call thou to mind the time when Muḥammad came with clear tokens from Him Who is the Almighty, the All-Knowing. The people were wont to pelt Him with stones from hidden places and in the markets, and they rejected the signs of God, thy Lord and the Lord of thy forefathers. The learned also denied Him, as did their followers, and likewise the kings of the earth, as thou hast heard from the tales of old. Among those kings was Chosroes,[52] to whom Muḥammad sent a blessed epistle summoning him unto God and forbidding him from misbelief. Verily, thy Lord knoweth all things. Following the promptings of his evil and corrupt desires, however, Chosroes waxed arrogant before God and tore up the Tablet. He, verily, is accounted among the inmates of the nethermost fire. (edit)	Indeed, O Leader, we have manifested ourselves to you once at the Mount of Fig and once at the Olive, and in this blessed spot. You did not perceive [the significance] because you followed your own desires and were among the heedless. So look and then remember: when Muhammad came with clear signs from an All-Powerful, All-Knowing [source], the people wished to stone him in the watchtowers and the marketplaces. They disbelieved the signs of Allah, your Lord and the Lord of your early forefathers. The scholars denied him, then those who followed them among the factions, and behind them, the kings of the earth, as you have heard from the stories of the ancients. Among them was Chosroes, to whom he sent a noble letter, inviting him to God and forbidding him from polytheism. Surely, your Lord is All-Knowing about all things. Indeed, he was arrogant towards God and tore the tablet, following his own soul and desires, except that he is among the companions of the Blaze. (edit)
8	هل الفرعون استطاع ان يمنع اللّه عن سلطانه اذ بغى فى الارض و کان من الطّاغين انّا اظهرنا الکليم من بيته رغما لانفه انّا کنّا قادرين و اذکر اذ اوقد النّمرود نار الشّرک ليحترق بها الخليل انّا نجّيناه بالحقّ و اخذنا النّمرود بقهر مبين. قل انّ ملک العجم قتل محبوب العالمين ليطفى بذلک نور اللّه بين ما سواه و يمنع النّاس عن سلسبيل الحيوان فى ايّام اللّه العزيز الکريم. (edit)	7 Was it in Pharaoh’s power to stay the hand of God from exercising His sovereignty when he acted wantonly in the land and was of the transgressors? From within his own house and in spite of his will We brought forth Him Who conversed with God. Well able are We to achieve Our purpose. Recall, moreover, how Nimrod kindled the fire of impiety that its flames might consume Abraham, the Friend of God; We delivered Him, however, through the power of truth and seized Nimrod with the fury of Our wrath. Say: The King of Persia put to death the Beloved of the worlds to quench the light of God amongst the people and to debar them from the wellspring of life eternal in the days of thy Lord, the Gracious, the Most Bountiful. (edit)	Did Pharaoh manage to prevent God from His authority when he transgressed upon the earth and was among the tyrants? Indeed, we made the Speaker [Moses] appear from his own house despite his nose. Indeed, we were capable. And remember when Nimrod ignited the fire of polytheism to burn Abraham, we saved him with the truth and seized Nimrod with manifest authority. Say, the king of Persia killed the Beloved of the Worlds to extinguish with that the Light of God among all else and to prevent people from the path of life in the days of God, the Mighty, the Generous. (edit)
9	و قد اظهرنا الامر فى البلاد و رفعناه ذکره بين الموحّدين. قل قد جاء الغلام ليحيى العالم و يتحّد من علی الارض کلّها فسوف يغلب ما اراد اللّه و ترى کلّ الارض جنّة الابهى کذلک رقم من قلم الامر علی لوح قويم. (edit)	8We, too, have revealed the Cause of God in His cities and raised aloft His remembrance amidst them that truly believe in Him. Say: This Youth hath come to quicken the world and unite all its peoples. The day is approaching when that which God hath purposed will have prevailed and thou shalt behold the earth transformed into the all-glorious paradise. Thus hath it been inscribed by the Pen of Revelation upon this weighty Tablet. (edit)	We have indeed manifested the matter in the lands, and elevated His remembrance among the monotheists. Say, the youth has come to enliven the world and to unify all that is upon the earth. What God wills shall prevail, and you will see the entire earth as the Most Glorious Garden. Thus it is inscribed from the pen of the Matter upon a straight tablet. (edit)
10	دع ذکر الرئيس ثمّ اذکر الانيس الّذى استأنس بحبّ اللّه و انقطع عن الّذين اشرکوا و کانوا من الخاسرين و خرق الاحجاب علی شان سمع اهل الفردوس صوت خرقها فتعالی اللّه الملک المقتدر العليم الحکيم. (edit)	9 Forsake Thy mention of the Chief, O Pen, and call to remembrance Anís, that intimate of the love of God who severed himself from the wayward and the infidel. He tore the veils asunder in such wise that the inmates of Paradise could hear them being rent. Glorified be God, the Sovereign, the Powerful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. (edit)	Leave mention of the leader, then recall the companion who found solace in the love of God and cut himself off from those who associated others with Him and were among the losers. He tore through the veils such that the people of Paradise heard the sound of its tearing. Exalted is God, the Sovereign, the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing, the Wise. (edit)
11	ان يا ايّها الورقاء اسمع نداء الابهى فى هذه اللّيلة الّتى فيها اجتمع علينا ضبّاط العسکريّة و نکون علی فرح عظيم. فيا ليت يسفک دمائنا علی وجه الارض فى سبيل اللّه و نکون مطروحين علی الثّرى و هذا مرادى و مراد من ارادنى و صعد الی ملکوتى الابدع البديع (edit)	10 O nightingale! Incline thine ear unto the voice of the All-Glorious on this night when armed troops have surrounded Us while We remain in a state of utmost joy. O would that our blood might be shed upon the earth and our bodies cast upon the dust in the path of God! This, indeed, is My desire and the desire of whosoever hath sought Me and attained unto My most wondrous, Mine incomparable Kingdom. (edit)	O scribes, listen to the call of the Most Glorious on this night in which the military officers have gathered against us, and we are in great joy. How I wish that our blood be spilled upon the face of the earth in the path of God, and that we be laid upon the ground. This is my desire and the desire of those who seek me, ascending to my wondrous, marvelous kingdom. (edit)
12	فاعلم انّا اصبحنا ذات يوم وجدنا احبّاء اللّه بين ايدى المعاندين اخذ النّظام کلّ الابواب و منعوا العباد عن الدّخول و الخروج و کانوا من الظّالمين و ترک احبّاء اللّه و اله من غير قوتٍ فى اللّيلة الاولی کذلک قضى علی الّذين خلقت الدّنيا و ما فيها لانفسهم فافّ لهم و للّذين امروهم بالسّوء سوف يحرق اللّه اکبادهم من النّار و انّه اشدّ المنتقمين. (edit)	11 Know thou, O servant, that one day, upon awakening, We found the beloved of God at the mercy of Our adversaries. Sentinels were posted at every gate and no one was permitted to enter or leave. Indeed, they perpetrated a sore injustice, for the loved ones of God and His kindred were left on the first night without food. Such was the fate of those for whose sake the world and all that is therein have been created. Woe betide the perpetrators and those who led them into such evil! Erelong will God consume their souls in the fire. He, verily, is the fiercest of avengers. (edit)	Know that one day we woke up to find the lovers of God at the mercy of the adversaries. The authorities took over all the gates and prevented the servants from entering and exiting, and they were among the wrongdoers. The lovers of God and their Lord were left without sustenance on the first night. Thus, it was decreed upon those for whom the world and whatever is in it were created for themselves. Woe unto them and those who ordered them to do evil; God will surely burn their livers with fire, and He is the most severe of avengers. (edit)
13	زحف النّاس حول البيت و بکى علينا الاسلام و النّصارى و ارتفع نحيب البکاء بين الارض و السّماء بما اکتسبت ايدى الظالمين انّا وجدنا ملأ الابن اشدّ بکاء من ملل اخرى و فى ذلک لآيات للمتفکرين و فدى احد من الاحبّاء نفسه لنفسى و قطع حنجره بيده حبّا للّه هذا ما لا سمعنا به من القرون الاوّلين. (edit)	12 The people surrounded the house, and Muslims and Christians wept over Us, and the voice of lamentation was upraised between earth and heaven by reason of what the hands of the oppressors had wrought. We perceived that the weeping of the people of the Son exceeded the weeping of others—a sign for such as ponder. 13 One of My companions offered up his life, cutting his throat with his own hands for the love of God, an act unheard of in bygone centuries (edit)	The people crawled around the House, and both Islam and Christianity wept for us. The wailing of cries rose between the earth and the sky due to what the hands of the wrongdoers had earned. Indeed, we found that the followers of the Son wept more intensely than other communities, and in that are signs for those who ponder. One of the lovers offered his life for mine and slit his own throat out of love for God. This is something we have not heard of from the earlier generations. (edit)
14	هذا ما اختصّه اللّه بهذا الظهور اظهاراً لقدرته انّه لهو المقتدر القدير و الّذى قطع حنجره فى العراق انّه لمحبوب الشّهدا و سلطانهم و ما ظهر منه کان حجّة اللّه علی الخلائق اجمعين. اولئک اثّرت فيهم کلمة اللّه و ذاقوا حلاوة الذّکر و اخذتهم نفحات الوصال علی شان انقطعوا عمّن علی الارض کلّها و اقبلوا الی الوجه بوجه منير. و لو ظهر منهم ما لا اذن اللّه لهم و لکن عفا عنهم فضلا من عنده انّه لهو الغفور الرّحيم. اخذهم جذب الجبّار علی شان اخذ عن کفّهم زمام الاختيار الی ان عرجوا الی مقام المکاشفة و الحضور بين يدى اللّه العزيز العليم. (edit)	and which God hath set apart for this Revelation as an evidence of the power of His might.[53] He, verily, is the Unconstrained, the All-Subduing. As for the one who thus slew himself in ‘Iráq,[54] he truly is the King and Beloved of Martyrs, and that which he evinced was a testimony from God unto the peoples of the earth. Such souls have been influenced by the Word of God, have tasted the sweetness of His remembrance, and are so transported by the breezes of reunion that they have detached themselves from all that dwell on earth and turned unto the Divine Countenance with faces beaming with light. And though they have committed an act which God hath forbidden, He hath nevertheless forgiven them as a token of His mercy. He, verily, is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate. So enraptured were these souls by Him Who is the All-Compelling that the reins of volition slipped from their grasp, until at last they ascended to the dwelling of the Unseen and entered the presence of God, the Almighty, the All-Knowing. (edit)	This is what God has specifically bestowed upon this Manifestation to display His power. Indeed, He is the All-Powerful, the Omnipotent. And the one who slit his throat in Iraq, he is indeed the beloved of the martyrs and their leader. What emerged from him was God's proof against all creation. Those are the ones upon whom the word of God had its effect; they tasted the sweetness of remembrance and were taken by the breezes of union, so much so that they severed themselves from everyone on the entire earth and turned toward the face with a luminous countenance. And if anything not permitted by God had appeared from them, He would nonetheless have forgiven them as a grace from Himself. Indeed, He is the Most-Forgiving, the Merciful. They were drawn by the irresistible pull of the Almighty, so much so that the reins of choice were taken from their hands, until they ascended to the station of direct encounter and presence before God, the Mighty, the All-Knowing. (edit)
15	قل قد خرج الغلام من هذه الدّيار و اودع تحت کلّ شجر و حجر وديعة سوف يخرجها اللّه بالحقّ کذلک اتى الحکم و قضى الامر من مدّبر حکيم. لا يقوم مع امره جنود السّموات و الارضين و لا يمنعه عمّا اراد کلّ الملوک و السّلاطين قل البلايا دهن لهذا المصباح و بها يزداد نوره ان انتم من العارفين. قل انّ الاعراض من کلّ معرض منادى هذا الامر و به انتشر امر اللّه و ظهوره بين العالمين. (edit)	14Say: This Youth hath departed out of this country and deposited beneath every tree and every stone a trust, which God will erelong bring forth through the power of truth. Thus hath the law gone forth and the command of Him Who is the Ordainer, the All-Wise, been fulfilled. The hosts of earth and heaven are powerless to resist His Cause, nor can all the kings and rulers of the world ever frustrate His purpose. Say: Adversity is the oil which feedeth the flame of this Lamp and by which its light is increased, did ye but know. Indeed, the repudiation of the froward serveth but to proclaim this Faith and to spread the Cause of God and His Revelation throughout the world. (edit)	Say, the youth has departed from these abodes and has placed under every tree and stone a trust that God will reveal in truth. Thus has the judgement come and the matter been decreed by a Wise Planner. The armies of the heavens and the earths cannot stand against His command, and all the kings and sovereigns cannot prevent Him from what He wills. Say, calamities are the oil for this lamp, and by them its light increases, if you are among the knowing. Say, turning away is from every averter, the herald of this matter, and through it the command of God and His appearance have spread among the worlds. (edit)
16	طوبى لکم بما هاجرتم عن ديارکم و طفتم الدّيار و البلاد حبّا للّه موليکم العزيز القديم. الی ان دخلتم ارض السّر فى اليوم الّذى فيه اشتعلت نار الظّلم و نعب غراب البين. انتم شرکاء فى مصائبى لما کنتم معنا فى اللّيلة الّتى اضطربت فيها قلوب الموحّدين دخلتم بحبّنا و خرجتم بامرنا تاللّه بکم ينبغى ان تفتخر الارض علی السّماء فيا حبّذا هذا الفضل المتعالی العزيز المنيع. ان يا اطيار البقآء منعتم عن الاوکار فى سبيل ربّکم المختار و انّ مأويکم تحت جناح فضل ربّکم الرّحمن طوبى للعارفين. (edit)	15 Great is your blessedness, inasmuch as ye have forsaken your homes and wandered the land for the love of your Lord, the Almighty, the Ancient of Days, until ye entered the Land of Mystery at a time when the fire of oppression was ablaze and the croaking of the raven of discord had been raised. Ye are My partners in My tribulations, for ye were present with Us during the darksome night in which the hearts of those who testify to the unity of God were agitated. Ye entered this land for the sake of Our love, and departed therefrom through Our command. By the righteousness of God! Because of you the earth itself glorieth over heaven. How excellent is this most sublime, this glorious and exalted bounty! Ye have been deprived of your nest, O birds of eternity, for the sake of your Lord, the Unconstrained, but your true abode is beneath the wings of the grace of the All-Merciful. Blessed are they that understand. (edit)	Blessed are you for what you have migrated from your homelands, and traversed countries and lands out of love for God, your Sustainer, the Mighty, the Ancient. Until you entered the land of the secret on the day when the fire of oppression blazed and the raven of discord croaked. You are partners in my tribulations, for you were with us on the night when the hearts of the monotheists were agitated. You entered out of love for us and departed by our command. By God, it is fitting that the earth should boast over the heaven because of you. Oh, how excellent is this sublime grace, the Mighty, the Impenetrable. Indeed, O birds of eternity, you were prevented from nests in the path of your Chosen Lord. Indeed, your refuge is under the wing of the grace of your Merciful Lord. Blessed are the discerning. (edit)
17	ان يا ذبيحى الرّوح لک و لمن آنس بک و وجد منک عرفى و سمع منک ما يطهّر به افئدة القاصدين. ان اشکر اللّه بما وردت فى شاطئ البحر الاعظم ثمّ استمع ندا کلّ الذّرّات هذا لمحبوب العالم و يظلمونه اهل العالم و لا يعرفون الّذى يدعونه فى کلّ حين قد خسر الّذين غفلوا عنه و اعرضوا عن الّذى ينبغى لهم بان يفدوا انفسهم فى سبيل احبّائه و کيف جماله المشرق المنير. (edit)	O My Dhabíḥ! May the breaths of the spirit waft upon thee and upon such as have sought communion with thee, inhaled from thee the sweet fragrance of My presence, and hearkened unto that whereby the hearts of the true seekers are sanctified. Render thanks unto God inasmuch as thou hast attained unto the shores of this Most Great Ocean, and give ear to the very atoms of the earth proclaiming: “This is the Best-Beloved of the worlds!” The dwellers of the earth have wronged Him and failed to recognize the One Whose name they ceaselessly invoke. Lost are such as have remained heedless and have opposed Him for Whose loved ones it would have behoved them to offer up their lives, how much more for His own luminous and resplendent Beauty! (edit)	Indeed, O my sacrificed spirits, for you and for whoever finds solace in you, gains insights from you, and hears from you what purifies the hearts of the seekers. I express gratitude to God for you having reached the shores of the Greatest Ocean. Then listen to the call of every atom: this is the Beloved of the world. Yet, the people of the world wrong Him and do not recognize the One they invoke at all times. Those who are heedless of Him and turn away from what they should rightfully devote their souls to, in the path of His loved ones, have surely lost. How luminous is His radiant beauty! (edit)
18	انّک و لو ذاب قلبک فى فراق اللّه لکن فاصبر انّ لک عنده مقاما عظيما بل تکون قائما تلقاء الوجه و نتکلّم معک بلسان القدرة و القوّة ما منعت عن استماعها آذان المخلصين. قل انّه لو يتکلّم بکلمة لتکون احلی عن کلمات العالمين. (edit)	17 Be thou patient, though thy heart be consumed in its separation from God, for He hath granted thee an exalted station in His presence. Nay, thou art even now standing before His face, and We are imparting unto thee, through the tongue of might and power, such words as even the ears of the sincere ones have been deprived of hearing. Say: Were He to utter but one word, that word alone would exceed in sweetness all the sayings of men. (edit)	Indeed, even if your heart melts in separation from God, remain patient. Verily, you have a great station with Him. You will stand facing the Divine and converse with you in the tongue of power and strength, not withheld from the ears of the devoted. Say, were He to speak a word, it would be sweeter than all the words of the worlds. (edit)
19	هذا يوم لو ادرکه محمّد رسول اللّه لقال قد عرفناک يا مقصود المرسلين و لو ادرکه الخليل ليضع وجهه علی التّراب خضّعاً للّه ربّک و يقول قد اطمئنّ قلبى يا اله من فى ملکوت السّموات و الارضين و اشهدتنى ملکوت امرک و جبروت اقتدارک و اشهد بظهورک اطمئنّت افئدة المقبلين. لو ادرکه الکليم ليقول لک الحمد بما اريتنى جمالک و جعلتنى من الزّائرين. (edit)	18 Had Muḥammad, the Apostle of God, attained this Day, He would have exclaimed: “I have truly recognized Thee, O Thou the Desire of the Divine Messengers!” Had Abraham attained it, He too, falling prostrate upon the ground, and in the utmost lowliness before the Lord thy God, would have cried: “Mine heart is filled with peace, O Thou Lord of all that is in heaven and on earth! I testify that Thou hast unveiled before mine eyes all the glory of Thy power and the full majesty of Thy law! I bear witness, moreover, that through Thy Revelation the hearts of the faithful are well assured and contented.” Had Moses Himself attained it, He, likewise, would have raised His voice saying: “All praise be to Thee for having lifted upon me the light of Thy countenance and enrolled me among them that have been privileged to behold Thy face!” (edit)	This is a day that if Muhammad, the Messenger of God, had perceived, he would have said, "We have recognized You, O the Desired of the Messengers." If Abraham the Friend had perceived it, he would have laid his face upon the soil in submission to God, your Lord, and said, "My heart is content, O God, Lord of the dominions of the heavens and the earths, I witness the dominion of Your command and the might of Your power, and with Your emergence, the hearts of the seekers are at peace." If Moses the Speaker had perceived it, he would have said, "Praise be to You for showing me Your beauty and making me among the visitors." (edit)
20	فکّر فى القوم و شأنهم و بما خرجت من افواههم و بما اکتسبت ايديهم فى هذا اليوم المبارک المقدّس البديع. انّ الّذين ضيّعوا الامر و توجّهوا الی الشّيطان اولئک لعنهم کلّ الاشياء و اولئک اصحاب السّعير. انّ الّذى سمع ندائى لا يؤثّر فيه نداء العالمين و الّذى يؤثّر فيه کلام غيرى انّه ما سمع ندائى تاللّه انّه محروم عن ملکوتى و ممالک عظمتى و اقتدارى و کان من الاخسرين. (edit)	19 Consider the people and their condition. Reflect upon the things that their mouths have uttered and that their hands have wrought in this blessed, this most holy and peerless Day. They that have tarnished the good name of the Cause of God and turned unto the Evil One are accursed of all created things and are numbered among the inmates of the fire. Verily, whosoever hath hearkened to My call shall remain unperturbed by the clamour of all that are on earth; and whosoever is influenced by the words of anyone beside Me hath never heard My call.
