The angels and the spirits, arrayed rank upon rank, descend, by the leave of God, upon this Gate [1] and circle round this Focal Point in a far-stretching line. Greet them with salutations, O Qurratu'l-'Ayn, for the dawn hath indeed broken; then proclaim unto the concourse of the faithful: 'Is not the rising of the Morn, foreshadowed in the Mother Book, to be near at hand?[2]...'[1=Qur 78:38 , 2=cf. ibid. 11:83 ]
(48:5)
