Through Mirza Mohammed Yazdi, Alexandria, to the friends of
God in Stuttgart
Upon them be the Glory of God!
He is God!
O my true friends!
The friends on their return from Stuttgart are praising all
the friends of the Merciful in that city, saying: Praise be to God! that the
friends are in utmost attachment and are ignited by the Fire of the Love of
God. They are occupied in naught but the Divine commemoration. And also the
contents of your letter proved your great love.
It seems that the Light of the Sun of Truth will shine
powerfully in Stuttgart and all over Germany; the Breath of the Holy Spirit
will show forth a great result, and the Bounty of the Word of God will spread
over all.
I give you the Glad-tidings that your advancement in the
Divine Kingdom will be great and that the Doors of the Kingdom are opened to
all the people of Germany.
Who will embrace it first? I hope that the called ones of
Germany may become the chosen ones. Therefore you should seek no rest; nay
rather endeavour day and night to guide the people, to give sight to the blind,
to give life to the dead and to grant Everlasting Life.
Upon you be the Glory of God!
