O ye real companions! Day and night Abdul-Baha is engaged in the remembrances of the friends, and time after time doth he associate with them and behold their blessed faces. I entreat in the Threshold of the Lord of Existence to confirm them in a befitting manner and assist them to follow wholly the Commands of God! (575:2) O ye friends of God! According to what is heard, ; some of the friends have celebrated my birthday in some countries on the fifth of Zamadi-Awal (23rd day of May). Although their intention is no other than good, their aim be to promote the Word of God and to commemorate the True One among the people in this manner, yet, according to the text of the Religion of God and the irrefutable command, the fifth of ZamadiAwal (May 23rd) is the day of the Declaration of His Highness the Supreme (the BAB)-- may my life be a sacrifice to Him! Consequently, they must celebrate and adorn that Blessed Day in the name of the Declaration of that Orb of regions; make rejoicing and happiness, and impart the glad-tidings of heavenly beatitude to each other. For that holy essence was the Herald of the Most Great Name. Therefore, no one must mention that day of the fifth of Zamadi-Awal (May 23rd) except as the Day of the Declaration of His Highness the BAB. This is the unquestionable text of the Religion of God.
(575:3)
