Blessed art thou for keeping firm in the Cause of God. I pray God to give thee a divine spirit, spiritual blood and to make thee a growing and thriving leaf on the Tree of Life, so that thou mayest serve the maidservants of God in fragrance and spirituality. (89:1) Thy generous Lord will confirm thee in serving in His great vineyard and will make thee an instrument for spreading the spirit of concord and union among the maid-servants of the Merciful, will open thine insight by the light of knowledge and forgive thee thy sins and change them to good deeds. (89:2) Verily thy Lord is the Forgiving, the Merciful and Possessor of Great Bounty (89:3) I have read thy letter which evinces the abundance of thy love and the warmth of thy devotion and thy zeal in acknowledging God. (89:4) Commit thyself to God; give up thy will and choose that of God; abandon thy desire and lay hold on that of God; that thou mayest be a holy, spiritual and heavenly example among the maid-servants of God.
(89:5)
