In My Name, calling aloud in the Kingdom of Utterance
Praise and thanksgiving beseem the Lord of manifest dominion
Who hath adorned the mighty prison with the presence of their honours
‘Alí-Akbar and Amín, [1] and hath illumined it with the light of certitude,
constancy and assurance. The glory of
God and the glory of all that are in the heavens and on the earth be upon them.
- Baha’u’llah (Lawh-i-Dunya [Tablet of the World]; ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
[1] The two Hands of the Cause of God, Hájí Mullá ‘Alí-Akbar
Sháhmírzádí and Hájí Abu’l-Ḥasan Ardakání, Amín-i-Iláhí (Trustee of
Huqúqu’lláh), were originally arrested in Ṭihrán, imprisoned in Qazvín in the
year 1891, and then transferred to prison in Tihrán.
