Fear ye the All-Merciful, O people of the Bayan, and commit not that which the followers of the Qur’an have committed—­they who in the daytime and in the night season professed belief in the Faith of God, yet when the Lord of all men did appear, turned aside from Him and pronounced so cruel a sentence against Him that, on the Day of Return, the Mother Book sorely bewailed His plight.  Call ye to mind and ponder upon their deeds and words, their stations and merits and the things they brought to pass when He Who conversed on Sinai unloosed His tongue, when there was a blast on the Trumpet, whereupon all that are in heaven and on earth swooned away except such as are reckoned among the letters of affirmation.

O people of the Bayan!  Abandon your idle fancies and vain imaginings, then with the eye of fairness look at the Dayspring of His Revelation and consider the things He hath manifested, the words He hath divinely revealed and the sufferings that have befallen Him at the hands of His enemies.  He is the One Who hath willingly accepted every manner of tribulation for the proclamation of His Cause and the exaltation of His Word.  At one time He suffered imprisonment in the land of Ta (Tihran), at another in the land of Mim (Mazindaran), then once again in the former land, for the sake of the Cause of God, the Maker of the heavens.  In His love for the Cause of God, the Almighty, the All-Bountiful, He was subjected there to chains and fetters.

O people of the Bayan!  Have ye forgotten My exhortations, which My Pen hath revealed and My tongue hath uttered?  Have ye bartered away My certitude in exchange for your idle fancies and My Way for your selfish desires?  Have ye cast away the precepts of God and His remembrance and have ye forsaken His laws and ordinances?  Fear ye God and abandon vain imaginings to the begetters thereof and leave superstitions to the devisers thereof and misgivings to the breeders thereof.  Advance ye then with radiant faces and stainless hearts towards the horizon above which the Day-Star of certitude shineth resplendent at the bidding of God, the Lord of Revelations.

Praise be unto God Who hath made the Most Great Infallibility the shield for the temple of His Cause in the realm of creation, and hath assigned unto no one a share of this lofty and sublime station—­a station which is a vesture which the fingers of transcendent power have woven for His august Self.  It befitteth no one except Him Who is seated upon the mighty throne of ‘He doeth what He pleaseth’.  Whoso accepteth and recognizeth that which is written down at this moment by the Pen of Glory is indeed reckoned in the Book of God, the Lord of the beginning and the end, among the exponents of divine unity, they that uphold the concept of the oneness of God.
