You had asked about the Branches (Aghsán) of God and His offshoots (Afnán). It was presented in the holiest presence, where it was stated that so far what has been written about the Afnán from the Highest Pen was intended for souls related to the Primal Point because in this Nanifestation we have called all to the highest horizon and guided them to the greatest sea. In the early days, a special supplication for them was revealed, and in that supplication, the success of faith and knowledge for them was ordained. God willing, they may act according to what God wills and remain steadfast and firm on this greatest matter. Blessed are they for we have named them with this name from which the fragrance of the Merciful emanates in existence, and we have attributed them to this Lote Tree as a bounty from Us upon them. Ask God to protect them from the insinuations of the people and the suspicions of knowledge, and We have preferred some of them over others in Our book which none but God, the Lord of the Worlds, has insight into. Soon, what has been predestined for them by the all-knowing Planner will appear, and the souls now attributed to the Lote Tree are mentioned among those close in the book of names. If they act according to what God wills, blessed are they for they have approached and succeeded, and it is for them to ask God to preserve them and grant them success in steadfastness in their state. Today is the day when all souls must strive to succeed with the word of acceptance from the Owner of Names. The intention regarding the Branches (Aghsán) pertains to the existing Branches, but in the primary rank were the two Greatest Branches, and the souls are counted after the fruits and leaves. There has been and is no right for the Branches in the wealth of the people. And this blessed verse had been mentioned, His saying, may His glory be exalted, 'Refer whatsoever you do not understand in the Book to the branch which has branched from this mighty Stock.' The intended meaning of "the Book" is the Most Holy Book, and "the branch which has branched" is a Branch [Ghusn].
