He is God
O ye friends of the heart and soul of Abdu’l-Baha!
The violators of the Covenant have raised a new cry and have
written to Europe "That Abdul-Baha has become exceedingly weak, that he is
no longer able to perform any work, and that he is in great danger and before
long he will say his farewell words. Now, this is our chance."
From this news suddenly through the blessing of the Blessed
Perfection health was granted to me. Immediately I began to write Tablets so
that the "Aiadi" [1] of the Cause of God would give the Glad-tidings
to the friends that ‘Abdu’l-Baha is not weak. Through the help and assistance
and the blessing and confirmation of the Blessed Beauty he is exceedingly
healthy, and the proof of it is that day and night he is either writing or
revealing (Tablets). Through my own will power all the symptoms disappeared. In
short, now I am writing with exceeding joy and happiness.
The writings of Mirza Abu’l-Fadl—may my life be a sacrifice
to him—I am sending to you in order that you will, all together, compile books
from these writings and immediately print and circulate them.
I expect Divine confirmations for the "Aiadi" of
the Cause of God. Upon them be the blessings of their benevolent Lord.
Upon ye be Baha’u’-Abha!
(Signed) ‘Abdu’l-Baha Abbas
[1] “Aiadi" means "Hands" and refers to four
distinguished Baha’is in Teheran, Persia.
