Tablet to Fuad Pasha the Heart 12 страница
8.
Methinks both [the concourse and the martyrs] have embraced in the Day of God,
the Powerful, the Almighty, and the Omnipotent!
9.
The hearts of the infidels have been set ablaze by that which We have revealed aforetime,
and still they plot against Me day and night!
10.
Blessed are ye for having entered the city
and attained unto that which hath been ordained by your Lord,
the Mighty, and the Bestower.
11.
It behooveth you to show forth from your visage utmost joy and bliss
that all may discern in you the tokens of resignation and submission.
12.
Thus hath it been decreed by the pen of Glory;
13.
verily, your Lord is the Most Merciful,
the Knower of the unseen and the seen.
14.
O men of insight!
Ye are beneath the shadow of My loving kindness and the canopy of My mercy,
thus is the gaze of God fixed upon you.
15.
Blessed are ye
and whosoever loveth you and turneth unto you wholly for the sake of God,
the Almighty, the All-Compelling.

God and such as have circled round the Throne
make witness that ye have attained unto His presence,
circumambulated the Kaaba of His command, and beheld His countenance.
17.
Potent is He over whatsoever He willeth.
18.
No God is there but Him, the Mighty, the Munificent!
19.
By My life!
We have granted that which ye have desired,
and We are with you at all times.
20.
[May] The glory of Him Who is the Almighty and the Helper rest upon you!
Tablet of Consolation CHAPTER ONE
Divisions 1-25
Written following the death of the father of a believer.
CONSOLATION
1.
God consoles you as a token of His grace,
and He is, in truth, the Comforter, the All Knowing, the All-Wise.
2.
Do not be sorrowful on account of your father.
3.
He has ascended to God and from him the perfume of My cherished love is diffused.
4.
It is for one that is heedless that you ought to grieve,
not for one who has attained to the remembrance of Me, the All-Wise.
5.
God forgave him before his ascension and, after his departing,
He caused him to enter a station that the pen of the worlds is powerless to describe.
6.
Convey My greetings to the one named Ali.
7.
Say:
Beware lest you be sorrowful in My days or that anything should perturb you.

8.
Look upon the ocean of the loving kindness of your Lord and be among them that rejoice.
9.
I was younger than you upon the passing of My father,
and I had the comfort of some of His servants.
10.
Yet you have the consolation of God by His own tongue,
the Holy, the Cherished, the Wondrous.
11.
Be just:
is it befitting that one should mourn after this?
12.
No, I swear by My beauty that shines in effulgence from this manifest horizon!
13.
This is an address that We have revealed lest you should be grieved by anything that might come to pass on earth.
In truth, your Lord is the Expounder, the All-Knowing.
14.
This is not the day of grief and weeping.
15.
Rather, it is befitting that you and the believers should rejoice in the days of your Lord,
the Forgiving, the Compassionate.
16.
He is sufficient unto you in truth,
and more loving is He than a thousand fathers.
17.
Even this sentiment [or writing], however, is within the limitation of this world.
18.
Otherwise, He Himself is far above His attributes [ever] being constrained by any bound
or circumscribed by the pen and ink.
19.
All possessed of discerning knowledge testify to this.
20.
Trust in Him and immerse yourself in His praise.
21.
Be gladdened, moreover,
that He should make mention of you in this, His Most Great Prison,
with verses that all the treasures of the universe could not surpass.
22.
Blessed is the one who ascended.
He is indeed among them that have been guided by the light of Revelation
and who turned unto the Beloved with a radiant visage.
23.
Out of his goodwill have you come into being
and arisen in the service of Him who is your Lord, the Ancient of Days.
24.
Remember him with joy and gladness
as We remember him in this glorious vision.
25.
Upon him be the glory of God and the glory of those in My kingdom,
as well as every beauteous praise.
