THE SECOND ISHRAQ: (198:4) We have commanded the Most Great Peace, which is the greatest means for the protection of mankind. The rulers of the world must, in one accord, adhere to this command which is the main cause for the security and tranquillity of the world. They are day- springs of the power and dawning-places of the authority of God. We beg of God to assist them in that which is conducive to the peace of the servants. (198:5) The account of this subject has been previously revealed from the Supreme Pen. Blessed are those who act accordingly! (198:6) THE THIRD ISHRAQ (198:7) commands the executing of the penal laws, for this is the primary means for the maintenance of the world. The heaven of divine wisdom is illumined and shining with two orbs, consultation and kindness. And the tent of the order of the world is hoisted and established on two pillars: reward and retribution. THE FOURTH ISHRAQ: In this manifestation, victorious hosts are worthy deeds and morals, and the leader and commander of these hosts is godlike piety. This comprehends all and rules over all!
(198:8)
