Excerpts from a tablet from Bahá’u’lláh to Mullá Muhammad Shafí:

• Today the seen and unseen world are illumined
• with the effulgence of the Sun of Truth
• and all created things are calling
• the people of the world to this lofty station.
• Blessed are they who with His aid and assistance
• will arise in His service
• to guide the people of the world to this path.
• O Muhammad Shafí, the Tongue of Grandeur testifies
• to your attraction to and your recognition of Him.
• Hear ye the call of this Wronged One.
• I beseech God to assist you under all conditions
• that you may be able, armed with the hosts of
• utterance and wisdom, to guide those who have
• gone astray to this eternal faith and to
• this heavenly home.
• Impart the greetings of this Wronged One
• to the inhabitants of that land.
• Praised be God, each has achieved what has no equal.
• Rejoice and share with all your relatives the Glad Tidings.
• Each one has been mentioned
• and for each one has been revealed
• from the Horizon of Bounty
• that which will remain forever.
• Bahá'u'lláh
