I hope that through the favor and bounty of the Blessed
Beauty, his holiness the Báb, and the ineffable blessings which hallow this
holy shrine, the confirmations of the Kingdom of Abhá may encircle you, and
that you may be characterized with the shining qualities and brilliant
attributes of the Bahá'í life. May your morality become more defined day by day!
May your faith and assurance be increased day by day! May your attraction to
the Kingdom of Abhá be intensified day by day! May your attainment in sciences
and arts become more universal day by day! Perchance, God willing, you may
become perfect and accomplished from every standpoint and be the means of the
enlightenment of Persia.
