| That
is, everything will return to the realm
of permanence from the transient realm,
and will go to the seat of post-eternal
sovereignty of the Sempiternal
Ever-Enduring One. They will go from the
multiplicity of causes to the sphere of
power of the All-Glorious One of Unity,
and will be transferred from this world
to the Hereafter. Your place of recourse
is His Court, therefore, and your place
of refuge, His mercy. And so on. There are a
great many truths which this phrase and
those like it state. The one which states
that you will return to eternal bliss and
Paradise has been proved so decisively by
the irrefutable certainty of the twelve
arguments of the Tenth Word, and by the
six Principles which comprise the
numerous cogent proofs of the
Twenty-Ninth Word, that no need remains
for further explanation. Those two Words
have proved, with the certainty of the
sun rising on the following morning after
setting the previous day, that life too
which has the meaning of the sun in this
world, will rise in an enduring form in
the morning of the resurrection after its
setting with the destruction of the
world. Since the Tenth and Twenty-Ninth
Words have proved this truth to
perfection, we refer you to them and here
only say this:
Further
to what has been proved decisively in the
above explanation, the All-Wise Maker of
the universe, Who possesses boundless
embracing power, limitless universal
will, and infinite all-encompassing
knowlege, the all-Merciful Creator of
human beings, has promised with all His
heavenly Books and decrees Paradise and
eternal bliss to those of mankind who
believe in Hirn. Since He has promised,
He will most certainly bring it about,
because It is impossible for Him to break
His promise And because, not to carry out
a promise is a most ugly fault, and the
One of Absolute Perfection is totally
exempt and free from all fault. Failure
to perform a promise arises either from
ignorance or from impotence. However,
since it is impossible for there to be
any ignorance or impotence pertaining to
that Absolutely Powerful One, the One
Knowing of All Things, His breaking of a
promise is also impossible.
Moreover,
first and foremost the Pride of the
Worlds {Upon whom be blessings and
peace), and all the prophets, saints,
purified scholars, and people of belief,
continuously request and implore, desire
and beseech the All-Generous and
Compassionate One for the eternal bliss
they have been promised. And they beseech
it through all His Most Beautiful Names.
For foremost His compassion and mercy,
and justice and wisdom, His Names of
All-Merciful and Compassionate, and
All-Just and Wise, and His Dominicality
and Sovereignty, and most of His Names
including Sustainer and Allah, require
and necessitate the realm of the
Hereafter and eternal happiness, and they
testify and point to it5 realization.
Indeed, all beings with all of their
truth5 point to the Hereafter.
Also,
the All-Wise Qur'an, the greatest of the
revealed Books, demon strates and teaches
this truth with thousands of its verses;
with clear evidences and conclusive,
veracious proofs.
And
the Most Noble Beloved One, who is the
cause of pride for the human race,
relying on thousands of dazzling miracles
taught this truth throughout his life,
with a11 his strength; he proved it,
proclaimed it, saw it, and demonstrated
it.
O
God, grunt blessings and
peace and benedictions to
him and to his Family and
Companions to the number
of the breaths of the
people of Paradise; and
resurrect us and
resurrect him and his
friends and Companions to
bliss, and our parents
and brothers and sisters
under his banner, and
grant us his
intercession, and enter
us into Paradise with his
Family and Companions,
through Your mercy, O
most Merciful of the
Merciful. Amen. Amen.O
our Sustainer! Do not
take us to task i f' we
forget or unwittingly do
wrong.
O
our Sustainer! Let not
our hearts swerve from
the truth after You have
guided us; and bestow
upon us the gift of Your
mercy; indeed, You are
the Giver of Gifts.
O
my Sustainer! Open up my
heart And. make my task
easy for me And loosen
the knot from my tongue
That they might fully
understand my speech.
O
our Sustainer! Accept
this from us, indeed You
are All-Seeing,
All-Knowing. And .forgive
us, indeed You are the
Accepter of Repentance,
the Compassionate.
All
glory be unto You! We
have no knowledge ,save
that which You have
taught us; indeed You are
All-Knowing, All-Wise.
