"O thou dazzling gem by the light of the Love of God!..."

1 |
O thou dazzling gem by the light of the Love of God!
|
2 |
Verily I read thy beautiful, elegant and expressive
letter which informed [me] of thine extreme love for
God, which (love) impresseth the souls and dilateth the
breasts and which causeth thy heart to become filled with
the knowledge of God and overflow with the favor of
God.

3 |
I ask God to make thee a sign of mercy and an
exemplar of servitude to the Sublime Threshold.
|
4 |
Thank God for saving thee from baseness, trouble,
selfishness and death, and [that He] took away the veil
from before thine eyes, manifested unto thee the Beauty
of El-ABHA, granted thee healing, planted in thy heart
the seed of love and thereby chose thee from among the
maid-servants. Therefore, endeavor so that thou dedicate
(thyself) entirely to God; no thought or mention
should remain in thee save the name of thy Supreme
Lord. Endeavor so that those countries become
illumined by the light of the gift of God.
|
5 |
Embrace the light of thine eyes (thy son) on my
behalf in the Kingdom of God.
