O ye handmaids of the Lord! In this century--the century of the Almighty Lord--the Day-Star of the Realms
above, the Light of Truth, shineth in its meridian splendour
and its rays illuminate all regions. For this is the age of the
Ancient Beauty, the day of the revelation of the might and
power of the Most Great Name--may my life be offered up
as a sacrifice for His loved ones.

In the ages to come, though the Cause of God may rise
and grow a hundredfold and the shade of the Sadratu'l-Muntahá
shelter all mankind, yet this present century shall
stand unrivalled, for it hath witnessed the breaking of that
Morn and the rising of that Sun. This century is, verily, the
source of His Light and the dayspring of His Revelation.
Future ages and generations shall behold the diffusion of its
radiance and the manifestations of its signs.

Wherefore, exert yourselves, haply ye may obtain your
full share and portion of His bestowals.
