BB00524: Answer to Mirza Muhammad ’Ali Qazvini

In the Name of God, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate

Know, O noble brother, and make firm thy feet upon the beauteous path of God, and understand that God, glorified be He, hath not created anything except that He hath explained its wisdom in the Book, and God hath not ordained any illness except that He hath created for it a remedy. Therefore seek forgiveness from thy Lord, besides Whom there is no other God, and unto Whom nothing can be compared.

Strive to act, for God hath not decreed severance except after despair of all things. Enter His gate into the depths of oneness, for God hath indeed purified its entrant from satanic intimations.

Fear thou nothing and grieve thou for nothing, for God hath forbidden His fear for one who feareth aught else besides Him, and in His utterance He hath deemed the most pure of the believers to be those who grieve not for aught else, as attested by His true Word: “Praise be to God Who hath removed from us all sorrow.”

Be thou steadfast in the Cause with sincerity, for God hath assigned to all things an appointed station. Be thou content with God through His true Word:

“If all things are by My decree and destiny, then wherefore grief?”

Rely thou upon God in all conditions and turn with thy whole being unto God until thou art effaced from all else besides Him.

Be thou assured of forgiveness after entering that gate, and await God’s command, for the victory of God is nigh. And praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.
