In conclusion I am greatly pleased with the loved ones in Najaf- Abad for, from the very early dawn of the Cause unto this day they have one and all under all conditions evinced a great spirit of self- sacrifice. (99:4)

Zaynu'l- Muqarrabin hath throughout his lifetime prayed with all the sincerity of his stainless soul on behalf of the believers in Najaf- Abad and implored for them the grace of God and His divine confirmation. (99:5)

The Lord be praised that the prayers of this gracious soul have been answered, for the effects thereof are everywhere manifest. (99:6)

64. The Mashriqu'l- Adhkar is one of the most vital institutions in the world, and it hath many subsidiary branches. Although it is a House of Worship, it is also connected with a hospital, a drug dispensary, a traveller's hospice, a school for orphans, and a university for advanced studies. Every Mashriqu'l- Adhkar is connected with these five things. My hope is that the Mashriqu'l- Adhkar will now be established in America, and that gradually the hospital, the school, the university, the dispensary and the hospice, all functioning according to the most efficient and orderly procedures, will follow. Make these matters known to the beloved of the Lord, so that they will understand how very great is the importance of this `Dawning- Point of the Remembrance of God.' The Temple is not only a place for worship; rather, in every respect is it complete and whole. (99:7)
