The Holy Houses in Ṭihrán

At the holy Threshold of the Abhá Beauty we fervently pray at all times for outstanding success to attend that exalted body. Indeed, by virtue of the brilliant achievements won and the distinguished services rendered by those blessed souls, the heart of this lowly one is filled with utmost joy and assurance, and there is no doubt that through the loving-kindness of God this measure of joy and happiness will be multiplied day by day.

You have asked me about my own knowledge and recollections concerning the holy Houses in Ṭihrán. Unfortunately, due to my tender age at that time, those blessed places and quarters have faded from my memory.

Upon you be His glory and praise.
