O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God!

Verily, I read thy letter of graceful expressions and
eloquent composition and was rejoiced in heart at the
feelings sent forth from thy pure heart. Verily, I invoke
God that He may bestow upon thee the confirmation
of the Spirit in all moments, so that thou mayest
direct (or guide) people to the glorified and praised
One, hold the cup of the love of God in thy hand, give
it to drink to every thirsty [one], heal every sick person
and nourish every hungry one with this table (or
food) which hath descended from heaven.

As to thy question concerning the registering of the
names of those to whom thou hast given the "Greatest
Name," there is no obstacle (or harm) in this. Verily,
thy Lord will enroll their names upon the scroll of the
Kingdom and the angels of heaven will bless them with
the glad-tidings of the Kingdom of Abha.

As to what thou hast said concerning the longing
and the burning of thy revered daughter with the fire
of the love of God: I beg of God to make her a sign
of salvation and a light scintillating in the Supreme
Apex.

As to what thou hast written concerning thy coming
(to Acca): For the present this is not consistent with
wisdom. When the opportunity cometh, at an appointed
time, we will summon thee to come; and this is a
glad-tidings unto thee and the greatest joy and happiness.

O maid-servant of God! It is incumbent upon thee
to boil forth like unto the fire ablaze in Sinai, so that
thou mayest attract hearts unto the Kingdom of the
Merciful. This is a gift which the dominion of the
world cannot equal!
