We make mention of him who hath been attracted by Our Call
when it was raised from the summit of transcendent glory and hath set his face
towards God, the Lord of creation. He is numbered with such as have heard and
responded to the summons of their Lord at a time when the peoples of the world
are wrapt in palpable veils. He testifieth unto that whereunto God hath
testified, and acknowledgeth his belief in that which the Tongue of Grandeur
hath uttered. Unto this beareth witness the Lord of Names in this wondrous
Tablet.
O My exalted Pen! Bring him, on My behalf, the joyful
tidings concerning the things that God, the Powerful, the Omnipotent, hath
reserved for him. Indeed he hath, for most of the time, been hemmed in by
manifold sorrows, and verily his merciful Lord is the One Who seeth and knoweth
all things. Rejoice thou with exceeding gladness inasmuch as this Wronged One
hath turned His face towards thee, hath mentioned thy name aforetime and doth
mention it at this very moment.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed
after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
