Blessing and peace be upon Him(56) through Whose advent Batha(57) is wreathed in smiles, and the sweet savours of Whose raiment have shed fragrance upon all mankind—­He Who came to protect men from that which would harm them in the world below.  Exalted, immensely exalted is His station above the glorification of all beings and sanctified from the praise of the entire creation.  Through His advent the tabernacle of stability and order was raised throughout the world and the ensign of knowledge hoisted among the nations.  May blessings rest also upon His kindred and His companions through whom the standard of the unity of God and of His singleness was uplifted and the banners of celestial triumph were unfurled.  Through them the religion of God was firmly established among His creatures and His Name magnified amidst His servants.  I entreat Him—­exalted is He—­to shield His Faith from the mischief of His enemies who tore away the veils, rent them asunder and finally caused the banner of Islam to be reversed amongst all peoples.

Thy letter from which the fragrance of reunion was inhaled hath been received.  Praised be God that following the firm decree of separation, the breeze of nearness and communion hath been stirred and the soil of the heart is refreshed with the waters of joy and gladness.  We offer thanksgiving unto God in all circumstances and cherish the hope that He—­exalted be His glory—­may through His gracious providence guide all who dwell on earth towards that which is acceptable and pleasing unto Him.

Behold the disturbances which, for many a long year, have afflicted the earth, and the perturbation that hath seized its peoples.  It hath either been ravaged by war, or tormented by sudden and unforeseen calamities.  Though the world is encompassed with misery and distress, yet no man hath paused to reflect what the cause or source of that may be.  Whenever the True Counsellor uttered a word in admonishment, lo, they all denounced Him as a mover of mischief and rejected His claim.  How bewildering, how confusing is such behaviour!  No two men can be found who may be said to be outwardly and inwardly united.  The evidences of discord and malice are apparent everywhere, though all were made for harmony and union.  The Great Being saith:  O well-beloved ones!  The tabernacle of unity hath been raised; regard ye not one another as strangers.  Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch.  We cherish the hope that the light of justice may shine upon the world and sanctify it from tyranny.  If the rulers and kings of the earth, the symbols of the power of God, exalted be His glory, arise and resolve to dedicate themselves to whatever will promote the highest interests of the whole of humanity, the reign of justice will assuredly be established amongst the children of men, and the effulgence of its light will envelop the whole earth.  The Great Being saith:  The structure of world stability and order
