Then I drew near, till She stood before my face
And gave utterance as a dove warbles in the realm of eternity,
As though speaking in the wondrous music that hath no words, letters or sounds.
38.
It is as though all books appeared in commentary on the songs of Her innovation.
39.
I recognized all meaning in a single point therein.
40.
When I listened with my entire being,
I heard the mention of God, the Exalted, the Most Glorious, in Her tunes,
And the name of God, the Exalted, the Most High, in Her melodies.

Tablet of Muhammad Ibrahim Khalil, Muballigh of Shiraz CHAPTER ONE
Divisions 1-[ ]
[ ]
1.
In the Name of God, the Knowledgeable, the All-Knowing.
2.
Praised be to God
Who made the ornament of the Scriptural Tablets to be numerologically significant
through the [Lord] which hath ever been sanctified above [mere] numeration [of reunion].
3.
He made it [the 19] to be the source of [ ].
4.
So when the manifestation was realized by virtue of His Sovereignty,
above its pillars there was manifested the [number] four
which [number] is completely realized in the [number] ten. (4 = 1+2+3+4 = 10)
5.
And by means of it, the levels of numeration were fully realized
in the modes of the Rememberence, and of the allusive indications.
6.
By virtue of the vision of every insightful person near the summit of this level [or, station]
was the form-image of the beginning relative to the genesis of the numbers.
7.
At this did the sun of the Divine Names radiate forth
from the horizon of this heaven expressing the various levels and the scripts,
8.
delimited according to the numbers of the Wāw (W = 6) and the Hā’ (H = 5)
which were established above them
in the worlds of realization beyond that of the divine Decree.
9.
Then when the scripts were made manifest,
the ornamentation was realized by means of the Divine Names
according to the number of Our Name, the Blissful. ( = 11)
10.
We ornamented thereby the first talismanic Temple
and made it to be the genesis of causality.
11.
Then We then separated therefrom the Temple and the Names
until the temples were completed up until the ninth Temple.

Now as for what thou enquired about regarding the days
which We made to be a manifestation of the Ha' (H = 5) in the kingdom of origination,

Tablet to Mīrzā Abbās Āstarābadī CHAPTER ONE
Divisions 1-[9]
concerning the Greatest Name of God
MĪRZĀ ABBĀS ĀSTARĀBADĪ
1.
In the Name of God, the [Lord].
2.
Thy letter arrived in the Acre prison
and the gaze of the Wronged [Servant] who summoneth all unto God,
the Help in Peril, the Independent, was directed unto it.
3.
The start of that [communication] was ornamented with this blessed phrase,
“I, verily, O my God,
beseech Thee through Thy glory at its Most Brilliant”.
4.
Thou art aware of the perfidy of the people of the Criterion (the Qurān, the Muslims)
despite the fact that they [certain of the Imams] indicated that the Greatest Name of God is mentioned in this [Ramaḍan fast] prayer [of the Imam Muhammad al-Bāqir].
5.
And it is abundantly clear and evident on the part of the possessors of insight
that the position of the mention [in the prayer] of the Greatest Name
is at its very first lines.
6.
This since it has preeminence over the [other Divine] Names
and is the genesis (source) and dawning-point of the [other] commemorative lines
[of the prayer being mentioned and positioned at the very start of the prayer.
7.
In spite then of this, all repudiated it
and remained unaware of its Truth.
8.
Nay indeed!
They [the Shīīa priests] issued a order for Bahā-ullah’s execution,
except, that is, them that were, in very Truth,
safeguarded by God and rescued from the ocean of idle fancies.

He [God] indeed is assuredly the Powerful, the Potent.

Tablet of the Night of Power and the Greatest Name of God CHAPTER ONE
Divisions 1-[10]
The 'night of power' was when the prophet Mohammad received prophecy during the holy month of Ramadan (near the end of the month).
1.
[He is] the Most Ancient, the Most Great, the Most Transcendent.
Arabic
2.
We did indeed ornament the (Night of Destiny [Power]) with the Letter "H" (ha' = 5) to the end that the people of Baha' might be certain about this Greatest, Mighty Name [= Baha' = "[The] Splendor [of God]").
3.
With it the Quran was ornamented aforetime. Quran 97:1
4.
When it was complemented with the letter "w" (al-waw) the [number] six (al-sitta) [= the abjad numerical value of the letter "W", waw) was made manifest [as thou should realize] if thou would be numbered among the mystic knowers.
5.
Blessed be such as have taken firm hold of thereof,
detatched from all the worlds.
6.
Such is certainly the Concealed Mystery with which the sacred books of God,
the Powerful, the Help in Peril, the Mighty, the Noble,
have been ornamented.
7.
Wherefore, hath He ordained the measures of all things in the scriptural tablets [the Surah]
and hath differentiated every Wise Decree.
8.
Them that reject this [clear evidence] should be numbered among the heedless
and them that do draw nigh on this account,
should be accounted the [precious] gemstones of the world of creation.
9.
We indeed do bear witness that the latter should be deemed
among them who are near unto God [the Cherubim].
10.
Should ye but apprehend this, O My loved ones,
We would assuredly, through a Bounty which cometh from Us,
reckon thee to be numbered amongst such as are truly grateful.
