O beloved of my heart and dear one of my soul, the chirping of the bird of Your explanation has informed me, and the murmur of the nightingale of Your remembrance and praise has taught me what delighted me with the joy of the servant’s inability to describe it as it is. This is testified by Your beloved, our beloved, Your purpose, our purpose, and the purpose of all in the heavens and on earth. When the winds of love shook me and what You have spoken in Your praise, the Owner of Oneness, drew me, I took the book and approached the Generous Giver, until I entered and presented myself before the throne and presented what was therein. Then the face of the Beloved turned towards me, saying in His majestic glory, 'O Varqá, what is promised in the book has appeared, and what the minds failed to recognize has been revealed. By His life, the Mother Book has come with signs circling it. O Varqá, indeed the Book speaks and people do not understand, the Balance calls and they do not feel, the Path screams and they do not comprehend. They have thrown behind them the tablets of God and have taken what they were commanded from the viewpoints of conjectures, those who debated with the signs of God and broke His covenant, and denied His command that encompasses existence. Say, this is the day in which the sea of life surged before the face of the Merciful, and the Euphrates of knowledge and explanation flowed to the right of the throne, if you but knew. This is the day in which what has not appeared before has appeared, and the sun of wisdom and proof has shone from the horizon of the prison’s sky, and the religions are all turned away from it. Say, O people of the earth, rise from your seats and then turn towards the highest horizon. By God, it is illuminated by the name of our Most Holy, All-Glorious Lord. Beware that the affairs of the people do not prevent you from the Owner of the unseen and the witnessed. Say, indeed it has appeared with truth, and neither the injustice of the scholars nor the prick of the rulers nor the might of those who turned away from the truth prevents it. Knower of the unseen, say this is the day of explanation, rise from the slumber of desires then remember the Owner of the Names, it is better for you if you but knew. This is the day in which every stander has stood for the service of the Cause and every speaker has spoken in praise of the Sustaining, Ever-Lasting God. Say, O people, put aside what you knew before and take what you see today in its praiseworthy station. O Varqá, the present servant has attended with your book and read it before the face, indeed your Lord is the Hearing, we have heard your mention and praise and your intimate conversations, and we have found the scent of your love and your submission and humility and your approach towards God, Lord of the worlds. Every word of your words has witnessed the greatness of God, His sovereignty, His appearance, His emergence, and His majesty. Indeed your Lord is the All-Knowing, rejoice in this mention by which the Kawthar of life ran in possibilities and the bird of eternity roared on the branches. Indeed, there is no god but I, the Singular, the All-Aware. Indeed, we have remembered you after your return in the diverse tablets with a mention to which the hearts of the knowers have been attracted. Stand in service of the order of your Lord and speak in His praise and guide to His straight path. O Varqá, in your days when the explanation was disturbed and agitated by the power of the people of religions, this oppressed one stood alone by the order concerning which the scholars and the noise of the knowers and the injustice of the rulers wanted to prevent him, but did not prevent what they intended. Indeed, my Highest Pen has roamed at all times in the field of wisdom and explanation until it made all hear its call and revealed to all its argument and proof. In some years, calamities entered that except the knowledge of God from its inventory were short and incapable, yet the pen did not stop moving in the nights and days, and the tongue did not choose silence. When the highest word was spread and the flags of mention and praise were appointed on the highest flags, and the sun of assurance, in general, shone, we blamed the crow and the buzzing of the flies appeared from behind the veil. I swear by the brightness of the sun of justice, the purpose of this oppressed one is that the strong souls should rise for the order and protect the people from the evil of the devils so that they enter a station where they see themselves independent of what has passed and consider other than the truth non-existent and lost. Say, O friends, be observers of the order’s horizon and see what has appeared from it, this is the advice of the truth to its friends. And in another station, this highest word from the horizon of the sky of the explanation of the Master of humanity has shone, His saying, His majesty’s glory, so far the veils that were between the people of the criterion have not been completely torn, and the idols of illusions have not been completely broken. If these two happen, and by the Lord of the worlds, the full explanation will see themselves at the bottom of the lowest, some were pierced by the finger of power and the arm of strength was disheveled, but many remain and are established. If readiness was observed in the people of explanation, indeed all with recognition of what is mentioned with the truth would have succeeded, but God testifies that they are more veiled than the party of the criterion and from other religions, and I am the All-Knowing counter. I conclude with the matter, the illusions of the people of the criterion have encompassed that every pen owner from its mention is incapable, especially a party that considers themselves saved, the people of Sunnah and the community believe that His Holiness the Qa’im must be born because they say from the Messenger of God, may my soul be sacrificed for him, a hadith that was indicative of His existence was not seen in Jabulqa, or Jabulsa, or another place, but rather the hadith of the master of humanity, upon him be the glory of God, the owner of fate, and likewise the narrative of the greatest sheikh indicated the birth of the Qa’im in the lands of Ajam, how many of the sanctified souls who were martyred by clear injustice said so, it is a wonder in this that they see that the saving faction was a rebellious, tyrannical faction, and at the appearance, the most wretched and most misguided were seen from all on the earth because this non-saving faction hung the beauty of unity in the air and brought in what the first and the last avoided from it, it is necessary for the people of explanation to think about what was between the people of the criterion that perhaps the eye of truth may open and see what must be seen in this case from the people of sight in the mentioned greater scene, otherwise the animal is nobler than him from the truth, may His glory be glorified in all circumstances, this servant of glory seeks and hopes that by His generosity and compassion and care, He considers not the deniers and rejecters and what they have, that perhaps the breeze of morning mercy on this divine day may pass and adorn all with the pattern of observation and justice and fairness.
