O ye concourse of the earth! Hearken to the voice of the Sadrat, the shade of which hath encompassed the loftiest positions of the world; and be not of the tyrants of the earth who denied the manifestation of God and His power, and renounced His bounty. Are they not of the contemptible, in the Book of God, the Lord of the creatures? (191:1) Glory, shining from the heaven of My Providence, be upon thee, and upon him who is with thee and hearkens to thy saying in the Cause of God, the mighty, the praiseworthy! (191:2) THE GLAD-TIDINGS (191:3) This is the voice of El-Abha, which is being raised from the supreme horizon, in the prison 'Akka! (191:4) He is the declarer, the knower, the omniscient! (191:5) God testifies and the appearance of His names and attributes bears witness that, by the raising of the voice and by the exalted Word, it has been our aim that the ears of the people of the world should be purified through the kawther of divine utterance from false narrations and be prepared to hearken unto the blessed, pure exalted Word which hath appeared from the treasury of the knowledge of the maker of heaven and creator of names. Blessed are those who are just! (191:6) 0, people of the earth! (191:7) THE FIRST GLAD-TIDINGS (191:8) which is conferred in this most great Manifestation on all the people of the world, from the "Mother-Book," is the abolishing of the decree of religious warfare from the Book. Exalted is the beneficent One, the possessor of great bounty -- the One through whom the door of grace is opened before all in the Heaven and earth!
(191:9)
