O Ye Who Are Longing for the Beauty of El-Abha!
“But ye have taken away the veil and were guided unto the light, have given up imitating forefathers and directed your eyes to the Sun of Truth, which is shining in the Supreme Horizon.”
O ye who are longing for the beauty of El-ABHA!

Verily that Light (i.e., the Light of the Manifestation)
shone forth from the horizon of the Manifestation, appeared upon the
horizon of existence, and the darkness was changed into light; the
Sun of Guidance dawned in the horizon of heaven, whereby the eyes
which were looking unto the Kingdom of God were illuminated, the
breasts which were filled with God’s love were dilated, and the
heavenly spirits were attracted by the magnet of the Holy Spirit, so
that the hearts became as pure mirrors reflecting the godlike
appearances and manifesting the heavenly lights—except the eyes
which were in the veil of imitation of the forefathers (i.e., those
who followed the theories of their fathers) were hindered from or
veiled from witnessing that brilliant and godlike illumination, and
the people held to the superstitions of the Pharisees and neglected
the mystery of God and the glad-tidings (recorded) in the Holy
Scriptures, which elucidated the appearance of the Lord of Hosts in
the promised day.

As to you—O ye who are attracted to the fragrances
of God! —kneel down and thank God for choosing you to enter His
wonderful Kingdom.

How many of the Pharisees were waiting for the
appearance of the Spirit (i.e., Jesus) then were veiled from it. But
ye have taken away the veil and were guided unto the light, have
given up imitating forefathers and directed your eyes to the Sun of
Truth, which is shining in the Supreme Horizon. This is a favor to
you on the part of your Lord, and a gift for you.
