BB00523: Li’l-Khalil

Verily I am God, there is no God but Me. I have been from the First that hath no beginning, an eternal Being. Verily I am God, there is no God but Me. I shall continue unto the End that hath no end, an eternal Being.

O Name of the Merciful [Rahim], bear thou witness that God hath ever been and shall ever be a Living, Eternal Being, even as He hath been. The Cause beginneth from God and returneth unto God. And verily the Cause endeth with the Name of the Unique One, for His Manifestation is itself a proof.

And after Him, should God manifest One like unto Him, that would be a proof and it would end with Him. Otherwise the Cause is in the hands of the witnesses of the Bayan, who transgress not the bounds of what hath been revealed in the Bayan until the Day when He Whom God shall make manifest appeareth in the next Resurrection. For through Him every cause is set aright, as well as those who dwell in the Most Exalted Paradise—the Companions of the Ridvan—all of them, and those like them who believe in God and His verses with certitude.

And after the winds of glory have stirred, deliver what thou writest unto the Unique One with the papers, or else be thou of them that preserve them.

And make mention from God of all the believers, and let all paths lead to him who writeth the verses of God, and aid ye him according to your power.
